Plot: The story starts with the death of an old english ladies husband at london, she becomes unconscious after his funeral. Doctors recommends her to undergo a surgery to her brain within a span of a week but, the chances are half to save her. That was due a major injury at her head in the past. She demands her grand children to take her to India to visit Madharasapattinam. Here the story starts with a flashback in 1945. Why she wanted to go to Madharasapattinam and What has happend in the past makes rest of the story.
Performances: Arya's performance is too good as a typical Madras youth whose job is to wash the clothes and is a very good "kushthi" player.
Nasser acted well as the father of Arya.
Amy Jackson makes a debut with her outstanding performance, she is cute, beautiful and also suits well her role.
Cochin Haneefa rocked his performance as a translator for British people.
Technical Departments: Director Vijay has done his job perfectly and he is successful in showing Chennai at Britishers time and also taking couple of very good love scenes which are not coming in movies these days. Even though there are some shades of Titanic and Lagaan are there Vijay took care to make this a unique flick. Photography and VFX are like Visual Treat. Music and Background Score By G.V.Prakash Kumar is outstanding. My Favorite Tracks in the movie are "Vamma Dorai Amma", "Pookal" and "Meghame".
Favorite Scenes:
1. Old Madras Scenes are too good.
2. Hero's Reaction when British People Announces Independence Day.
3. Death of Villain falling from the Clock Tower.
4. Heroine leaves Hero in-order to save him under a bridge.
5. Climax The old lady founds Hero.
My Rating: 3.75/5
