      JD & Bhavani Stole the Show
      Perfect characteristation for both VIJAY & VJS. 2nd half is little bit lagging without no story move.Except that VJ mannerism makes u crazy also VJS Terrorism ll haunt u.Worth Watching not like other Thalapathy Movies. Vijay just given up his image & allowed everyone to mock him Its a sign of selfless actor.Climax & interval block was terrific.Dont listen to negative reviews.Its a pure commercial entertainment & decent watchable
