As it goes with Spider Man, Superman, Die Hard, Mummy and James Bond series, Actor Vijay has started marking his ventures with same genres. Of course, commercial elements are always welcomed by the masses and especially his style, dialogues bounded with messages, mischief acts and tremendous dance. But when it comes to stories where ‘vengeance’ is the main element, they’re out of audiences’ tastes.
Son seeking vengeance for his father’s death is something that everyone has been viewing on the screens for over 3 decades. And why Vijay does pick up such an empaling speculation on each of his films? Well in Kuruvi, his task was about bumping of the baddies to save his father and here, he’s there on revenge of his father’s death. Precisely, it’s a polished remake of ‘Aboorva Saghodarargal’ and Hindi Movie ‘Soldier’….
The film opens with Pugazh (Vijay) on a secret mission as he receives instructions from senior police officer Joseph (Manoj K Vijayan) to abduct world’s deadly criminal Raaka (Aditya). Sooner, Pugazh makes Jhanvi (Nayanthara) with her as a part of his mission (As James Bond does it for all Bond girls). Perhaps, later its revealed that Jhanvi is none other than daughter of World’s most wanted mafia leader JD (Prakash Raj). Rest of the film is about who actually Pugazh is? What are his intentions?
Vijay does a brilliant job on dance, stunt sequences and overall good justice to his role… But watching him with unbelievable stunts on aircraft is something we say, ‘ludicrous’, ‘Ridiculous’…. Does he assume himself to be James Bond or Die Hard fame Bruce Willis? Its a billion dollar question. The funniest annoying part is where our hero stands amidst of 10 cars getting blasted with bomb and yet not spotted with single cut. Do Vijay and Prabhu Deva think audiences to be fools watching the film? Even, filmmakers of Telugu film industry have transformed and started making good films. ‘Villu’ starts off well in the first half with fun, frolic, songs, action and romance. But none ever expected that Vijay would perform clumsy acts like throwing underwear on Nayan’s face and that’s something female audiences would hate it. Nayanthara can better quit acting and look for Malayalam offers or else continue here in Kollywood with item numbers. All throughout the film, she is involved in skin shows and doesn’t attempt for a better performance. Blame is on the part of Prabhu Deva who doesn’t give her enough scope to perform the role. Vijay’s double action is unnecessary and someone could have played his father’s role. Humble request to Prakash Raj - ‘Sir, Kindly don’t take up offers for money sake’. Devraj, Anand Raj, Sriman live up to expectations. Vadivelu’s humorous tracks are only relief especially, shaking his legs for ‘Kathala Kannale’ and ‘Naaka Mukka’ are over-the-top that’ll cause you stomachache. It’s a decent spell of bull fight though done on CG process and call it ‘good work’. Prakash Raj looks funny with colored wigs on his head (Remember Suman in ‘Kuruvi’ and ‘Aegan’).
Prabhu Deva was quite good on remaking each and every in ‘Pokkiri’ while he fails to pen a gripping screenplay for his own script. The First half moves about with commercial factors and everything’s fine till 10 cars burst during an action sequence with Vijay walking straight through them. Prabhu Deva must understand watching James Bond film is fine and good, but try not applying them for Vijay’s film.
Musical score by Devi Shri Prasad has whole lot of Tollywood traces and fails to impress with his background score. ‘Rama Rama’ picks up the interest of Vijay fans with Kushboo and Prabhu Deva dancing for the number. Well, rest of the songs doesn’t carry on with same credits. Pepsi Vijayan’s stunts are the highlighting factors in the film while rest disappoints us.
On the whole, ‘Villu’ doesn’t carry any specialties like ‘Ghilli’ or ‘Pokkiri’. Overdosed heroisms and loose screenplay fails to hold even Vijay fans in theatres. However, we may point out the exact features, anyway or so Vijay has tactics of getting his film run successfully for more than 200 days. Maybe, more too.
Fine! For ‘Kuruvi’ we had our verdict carrying ‘Refund Your Tickets’ while for this one – ‘Gift the tickets to your enemies’ would be the apt one.
Bottom - Line: Sequel to Kuruvi
Verdict: Ayoo Ramaa…..
dear prabhu deva and vijay…pokkiri was a good attempt so we

WORLDS BIGGEST FLOP OF ALL TIMES.
CANT SIT IN THEATRE FOR 5 MINUTES.
NOW AFTER SEEING VIJAY’S FILMS,HERE IS A NEW FORMULA FOR ALL HUSBANDS WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM THEIR WIVES.
IF ANYONE’S ANGRY WITH SOMEONE, THEN TAKE THEM TO VIJAY’S FILM,ONE THING IS SURELY GONNA HAPPEN.
1.THE PERSON WHO WATCHES HIS WILL SUFFER HEART ATTACK,HEADACHE OR SOME NEW DISEASES WHICH ARE YET TO BE IDENTIFIED.
HE SHOUTS MORE THAN WHAT AN ANIMAL DOES,NO STORY,FLOP COMEDY,EXCEPT RAMA RAMA SONG HIS DANCE IS LIKE A MONKEY,LOOKING HIM ON SCREEN IS JUST LIKE LOOKING A MAN WITH NO EXPRESSION OR WE CAN CALL HIM A DEADLY FACED MAN,VERY LAZY.
I JUST SAW THE BOTTOM-LINE & VERDICT OF THE PERSON WHO REVIEWED IT.I APPRECIATE YOU MAN,YOU KNOW WHY,BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW YOU SAW THE FULL FILM.
THE FILMS COLLECTION IN CHENNAI OVERALL IS 2 CRORES WHICH IS WORSE THAN A SIMBHU’S FILM.
YOU KNOW WHY IT COLLECTED 2 CRORES,BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DIDNT GET MUCH SLEEP WHILE SLEEPING @ HOME SO THEY THOUGHT WATCHING A PAKKA VIJAY FILM VILLU WILL PROVIDE THEM SOME SLEEP.
Hi, naan thaa aavi pesuren. Na sethathuku kaaranam villu tha. I cant bear this. I was so mad about vijay and his films, one day i went to his super fucking hit film villu and there my fate was waiting. I came forward and spent 300(including popcorn,pepsi and other eatables) and started watching the film. Wat a horror. This film should be classified as comedy horror. The starting entry itself is an (Aunty)hero. I am totally surprised and frustrated. I felt shameful and guilty after seeing that but still i pacified myself because like me many gentle men and gentle women were crying seeing that. Still some drunk vijay fans shouted and danced for that. They don’t even know it is vaduvelu( They thought it s vijay). One hour passed.
I finally decided to come out but my vijay mania made my ass to stick to that seat. Finally i am dead watching the whole film, as my soul depart, i saw many vijay fans and some innocent children dead. What a calamity.
My only wish is this.
Please……please stop abusing young minds. No one is born leaders, they are made. We have lot of resources in india and still we lag behind other countries. Just think why this is happening. We always like others to rule us and we do not want to become one. We are born and going to live for a maximum of 80 years and why should we waste our time. I warn vijay like mad people, Do not try to spoil our future. We are here to lift up our country and our society. Films like this spoil young minds and make them incapable of thinking by their own. Stupid prople, when you are going to realize that you are wasting your time, money, good thoughts and your potential. We can do anything. Just for an example, Korea(south) was just like tamilnadu five years before and they are now the largest emerging economy in the world, but Tamilnadu? Still sinking in this kind of shit movies and losing the capability to think. Please guys and girls, think…. twice….thrice if needed ask help from others, don’t go down my friends. I have all rights to this nation and i have the power to vote and choose my leader. My nation gives me all rights to prosperity. Please understand this and try something useful instead of wasting your time watching this kind of stuffs. Only if we encourage this, they will continue to make this sort of films. Stop seeing them. Let it run in loss. How long they can stand? Finally they have to give up and run away or try making good films. I too like to watch vijay acting in good films.
I am sorry for those who do not understand this and use filthy words. One more thing. If anyone uses abusive language against me, all those words applies to their own families including their mom. I don’t want to include your mom but i don’t have any other choice. This may stir up some minds and it may bring good things to my country. No vijay…No ajith…..YOU ARE THE REAL HERO LIVING TODAY AND PLAYING YOUR CHARACTER THAT NO ONE IN THIS WORLD CAN PLAY………..

India fan………
