A BIG THANKS to the Superstar.. A potentially unbearable bore, that preys on our patience, becomes just about bearable.. Director K.S. Ravikumar is guilty of squandering the star power of Rajni with an insipid and ancient (belonging to a pre-Muthu era) narrative to the extent that despite the presence of Rajni, the movie seems to benefit considerably from the comic gags of Santhanam.. It is a disappointing effort from the Mozart of Madras too as his songs fail to register... what's more, their picturisation as well as their placement appear like warts which hamper the flow of an already glacial pace. Rajni looks his old fine self, especially in the role of the old king. While the cinematographer does a good job, the stunts, except some brief elements of the train sequence, are unimpressive.
Overall, as is the case with most of his Masala flicks, it is Rajni, the Superstar with his larger than life image, who rescues this movie despite being given the short rope by his director and some key members of his crew !
A GOOD WATCH (ONLY, if you are a Rajni fan.. But, then again.. It is pretty hard to find a person who is not one in these latitudes) !!
RATING - 2/5
