Outstanding thought............... but not picture perfect

First of all hats off to the brave attempt by the young director and really an intelligent work to build a script based on the Cholas and the Pandians.

This is definitely a first of its kind in India Cinema and let's be proud for it.............. so what if the movie did not turned to be a picture perfect (those who are here to comment on these kinda new attempts, please go watch Avatar), movies of these kind needs to be promoted so that such kinda brave attempts will be taken in future. Am not ready to still sit and watch the same heroic movies with a intro song, fight and romance the heroines and finally fight for love............... We need a break and here is the one. I was quite amazed by the dasavatharam script which was derived from history (Chola king removing the statue of lord Vishnu and the lord bought Tsumani to save the whole world, outstanding thought). This script is one such idea....Keep going selva.

The movie has a wonderful first off and the second half is more of a surprise, I feel the movie should not have had so much of depth and concluded the movie in a way our Indian movie watchers find it hard to digest (we need happy ending), but its seeded well for a AO- part2.
