after long back dhanush hits box office
21 July 2014 | by (INdia) – See all my reviews

Very good acting and screenplay....Some times dialogue delivery seems look like Rajini particularly discussion with amala paul after the OOthungada sangu song.....In climax amala paul seems like married women...Sticker on her head...but none of the scene related to marriage....Very good screenplay and expression delivered by dhanush...congrats ....sir definitely this film hits box office ... But one thing the audiography in the film is some more bad not songs only background....Anyway the result is good....Photography is good... Dance performance is very good and particularly reaction , expression in dialogue delivery. action sequence is very nice...
