Storyline

The story revolves around Subha, a genetic engineering student and Arvind, a worker at Bombay Circus. Arvind is a Descendent of the legendary Bhodi Dharma, who lived during the 6th Century AD. As per the story, Bhodi Dharma is an exceptionally skilled fighter and a Medic. Subha's theory is that the DNA sample of a person contains the memory strands of their ancestors. Subha's main aim is to perform a genetic experiment on Arvind and to revive Bhodi Dharma's skill once again. She submits her thesis to various countries. Apparantly,China is being a bad girl and is plotting to wage a bio-war against India. They get shocked on seeing Subha's thesis and send Dong Lee to carry out OPERATION RED to make sure that Bhodi Dharma's truth remains uncovered. The fate of the country rests on Subha's research and how she does it covers the rest of the story. Written by Anonymous

this is a excellent movie to watch
1 November 2011 | by (Sri Lanka) – See all my reviews

The triumphant team that gave audiences the stylish and riveting "Ghajini" is back. This time they are trying to whip up same creative magic with the much hyped "7am Arivu". Except for the halo and hoopla built around the title, "7am Arivu" falls flat, bogged down by the euphoria and expectations of its own creation.

A martial arts ace Dong Lee, a Chinese Operation Red agent is sent to infiltrate India and spread a bio-war by introducing deadly viruses into the country and snuff out Shuba.

As the fantastical film flits from China to Chennai, rocking between ancient history and modern Sino-Indian antipathy, it's one roller-coaster ride for audiences who have trooped in with great expectations.
