      Kamal hassan was wearing real power glasses for the film. To nullify the power of the glasses, he was wearing a contact lens of the exact negative power.
    • Goofs
      When Kamal shows the phone to Madhavan when he comes to the hotel, he holds the phone upside down. In the next shot (from backside), Kamal holds it the right way up.

    Beautiful Artistic Film
    One more of Kamal Hassan's Gems. Excellent acting by Kamal Hassan and Madhavan. Wonderful music by Vidyasagar. More of an art film than an entertainer. In my opinion it is the best Tamil film in recent times. And one of the best non Mani Ratnam film ever. The socialism is subtle yet clear and the director has handled the movie very well. It will go down as a classic in Tamil movie history. As always with good art films, the movie didn't do very well at the box office but made an impact all the same. Personally, it is my favorite Tamil movie till now and I recommend this to everyone. You will not regret watching this movie. That is why it is the only movie I have rated 10.
