Fantastic Fantasy Flop
2 October 2015 | by (India) – See all my reviews

Just clueless work done by the director.. Can appreciate Vijay for attempting something different in his career. But not matured enough. Music by DSP is complete disaster i should say. Forgettable movie for Vijay, worst than Sura. Shruthi voice is really not good to hear. Hansika was gorgeous though wasted by using for 1 song. Sridevi will definitely regret for opting this movie over Bahubali. Sudeep's potential unused.

Chimbu Devan being an director of historical movies failed even in costume design and script. very childish & dragging characters used.

Even VJ fans where not satisfied after seeing movies like Thupakki and Kathi.
