Thinking of creating a magnum opus like mckennas gold, mummy, raiders of the last ark is one thing. but sandwiching the best scenes of the movies into one and add a native language to it is next to insane.
AO is just that effort. the pre release hype and the longest of wait came to a halt and the end product is totally mediocre. Sure there wont be any of this kind in tamil cinema but actually tamil cinema doesnt need such a film with abusing lead characters showcasing their verbal and physical attributes is simply hard to digest.
The plenty of blood and gore shown aesthetically in torontino movies is really a pain here to watch. Partibans antics, remaas overtures, exhibition of body more than brawn, a hapless karthi just watching the proceedings with a hurt feelings, and a zombie like walk thro the act by andrea u can list number of negatives. Technically it is ok but we still had to go a long way. Especially the 12th century chola episode reveals about what a genius kamalhaasan is when we recall the same period in dasavathaaram.
is he depicting the plight of tamils in srilanka as a surrealistic feature of the film, strangely i have a feeling it is about them only.
Better selvaraghavn woke up from the over hype showered upon and him started making meaningful and psychological drama which he is famous for.
all said and done 5004 feet of cinema and 3.15 hours is tooooooooooooolong a movie to sit through.
better luck selva. dudes avoid family viewing if at all you want to see the movie first...

I know about a Die hard MGR Fan(works with one of the ad agency) who comes to our office regularly and always cherishes talking about MGR and his films. Till date he sees only MGR films and feels proud of this. I used to ridicule him about his MGR affinity. But he simply says all others are waste.
He gives one example - "Take his title song sir "AAyirathil Oruvan".
Look at the way MGR has picturised this song
MGR padathil enna mathiri panniyiruppar theriyuma sir?.
Antha song, kadal ithallam partha eppadi irukkum theriyama sir ?
Intha padathila ennavo Kudithivittu kummalam poduranga . MGR paata naasam pannitan sir" .
I didn't have a answer. Do u hav ?
