Just Wow!
It's been quite a while since I saw a movie from the motherland. And I've always been a fan of Shankar but I missed out on many movies of his.
This movie is sheer brilliance, how can a first time director create this monumental film with its high stakes emotional drama so masterfully?
Can't forget the absolutely stunning performance by Arjun aswell. These two relative newcomers at the time, gave us such a power packed movie.
Holy hell.
The Music Maestro A.R.Rahman giving his colorful tunes to this, although I'd argue it wasn't needed in this movie but still the tunes are A+ Bangers.
Just overall, I'm not surprised that Shankar has become the No.1 Director of India now. Even seasoned directors would find it hard to do what Shankar masterfully created in his first movie with his iron grip on screenplay and pacing. JUST AWESOME!
I love the moral of the story. I truly wish India shines and gets rid of the corrupt politicians. Well a Man lives with hope. Jai ho!
