-It was a decent movie...
-Anyday better than Cmukhi or Mum-Express..
-Shankar movies are starting to take a toll on the eyes..The song picturisation is all good..But the camera shaking technique ..habba thala valii varathu paathaalae..
-Liked andankaaka konda kaari..The irony was..Padam fullaa..they showed Vikram with the 'Kondai'!The song shud have been andankaaka kondai kaaran!
-The heroine - Sadhaa..I dont really know what was so special about her!Any average looking girl would have done her role much better!
-Vikram did a good job mostly!The Remo part seemed to be over-acting,particularly oft-repeated lines -Remo maen...Ramp walk/Model etc..
-Unrealistic fight sequences have started creeping into the tamil movies,making them look like cartoon strips and succeeding in bringing down the tempo of the movie.
-I saw some reviews where people had questioned Shankar's favoritism towards the Brahmin community in his movies..
-Thats actually a sham..Shankar,in almost all movies shows Brahmins as 'thayir saadham' eating cowardly souls and then when he comes out as anyone other than a Brahmin,the world is saved!Hypocritic B'tard who probably was under the tutilage of Bagyaraj!
-The advantages that he has in having a brahmin based theme as part of his movie is...
- Gets to show the adorable,colourful agraharam neighborhood brimming with simple yet breathtaking visuals...
- Gets to show 'Ombodhu gajam clad Maamis' in almost every scene for the sake of the drooling front benchers...
- Exploits the unadulterated brahmin lingo to his favor in coming up with the so-called jokes!
- Succeeds in making a cheap attack,albeit being indirect on the Brahmins.
-Taking a tangent from the movie,I wonder what would happen if a reference to 'barbers'/'suudhraa'/'parayan' were to be made in a movie.I am sure Anniyan would be there to kill the director!
-Finally,the last thing I expect is someone misinterpreting the whole post and generously showering me and my kith n kin with mellifluous abuses,speaking of which,I have a question - Are the current censor board members deaf or drugged to such a level that they turn a deaf ear to explicitly and loudly uttered 'baad' words nowadays?
Anyways getting back to the post!
Occasional portrayal of a particular sect to form an indispensable part of the movie theme can be accepted,but a repeated and relentless targetting of the same sect in each and every other movie is disgusting!This,I don't say just because I belong to the Brahmin community.For that matter,I would have felt disgusted if all the movies started showing the autodrivers/the barbers or any other particular group of people in bad light!

yup i agree with ur observations.
Vikram's portrayal of Ambi was artificial and reeked of loser crybaby.Whether it was of his own free will or bcos of Shakar's instigation we do not know. It is true the jokes are at the cost of a particular community but looks like they were all written by Sujatha (unless Vivek took care of his own) and somehow they dont sound insulting.If we dont over-analyze then the dialogs are a big plus and keep up the tempo. Ambi is so stereotypical...there are so many ways this couldve been done. May be kamal wouldve been better suited for the role(albeit 10-15 yrs ago- he looks too old these days and his reputation preceeds him anyway...i am getting sick of his madras bashai in every movie)
I have seen the movie more than once and cannot decide if Shankar is taking a pot shot at Brahmins intentionally or not. He is fascinated by that culture for sure though.

hai cool cool don't just splatter something the promary reason why a brahmin was selected was that in all probability only an iyengar could know about Garuda puranam which is the lifeline of the story itself.so shut and s@#t
~Oo°~
