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
It might have clicked if showed the 6th Century story like Rajini's Baashha flash backs. 6th Century story might have split in to 3 parts and showed in between with more suspense.
Johnny was wasted. But, He has acted well.
Poor performance of Surya as an actor.
Some dialogs are very good.
Bhodi Dharma might have improved his skills while he was going to China. It should have showed.
I am remembering I read the book Ezhalam arivu by Iraianbu IAS 10 years back. This move/song does not have those philosophy also.
