Have you seen Quantum of Solace? Blood Diamond?
Bits and pieces borrowed from both the above movies, added with a dash of Tamil sentiments, the cool super-human hero, the usual ‘out-of-synch’ songs, some illogical stuff and the ever present ultimate diabolical villain and viola – we have Ayan!
Not much if one expects too much of a different story-line here. The hero’s role is over smart all the time – a trifle too cool. Though some of the action sequences, even if borrowed, look good and are a plus to the movie; more importantly the way, he outsmarts the customs officials is an ace! Though the plot is not convincing, the screenplay drags it through.
Thamanna… hmm… I always wonder why romance in movies is presupposed!!! Is the audience supposed to assume that whenever the hero and heroine meet, love is the ultimate result? Seriously, when would tamil cinema grow up? Having said that, thamanna is a dolly.
Some other characters lend support to the cast.
Whenever the plot got me interested a little, there was this swish and I found, to my distaste, the hero and heroine singing and dancing…
The climax was glaringly illogical and seemed as a child's fantasy... The quality of the audience has to be really cheap to appreciate such trivial stuff...
All in all, a decent entertainer for the masses, average for the college-goers and ‘yet another tamil movie’ when compared to the high standards of erstwhile movies of surya!
