24 Movie Review

Surya is one hero who have tons of guts to experiment and this director Vikram Kumar, a creative genius who has given awesome movies like “13B” “Ishq” and “Manam” in different genres. So this combination has caused super curiosity from the inception of “24” . Surya himself produced this magnanimous venture..

Plot: Sivakumar a scientist invents a watch that can help in time travel. His greedy brother Athreya kills him for that watch.. but misses the watch and Sivakumar’s baby boy Mani.. It all shifts to 26 years and what wonders that watch will do later on.. Should be watched definitely on Big screen..

Surya..Surya..Surya..

Yes Surya has done triple roles and brings perfection to each role.. Though Sivakumar is limited and Mani is regular stuff Surya did many a times.. It is Athreya that stuns everyone.. We believe in that there are really 3 different actors on screen and such is the dedication this actor has put into those characters.. “Athreya” is his best after “Ghajini”. Director Vikram made sure that best of scenes are created for Athreya.

Vikram has brought heroines of two past hit films to play in this film.. Nithya menon has small role.. but she is best choice for it. Samantha is gorgeous like every time.. and we are going to see her almost every weekend in the May..Surya ..Samantha share superb chemistry on-screen.

Saranya is at ease for the role of mother who raises Surya.. Girish Karnad is also present. Ajay gets meaty role as “Mithra” .. this combination too is good after “Ishq”

Time Travel.. Back and Forth..

If someone sees the story on paper.. it might seem not believable.. But it is Vikram who can serve the toughest of screenplays into very neat and perfect screenplay.. He takes care and shows minutest of things from how the Hero gets the key to open the Watch and how he cleverly uses it for his love track..

Interval scene is one of the extremely brilliant ones in cinema.. Though there is little fun missing in later part .. Film is tightly gripped and brings to time travelled Climax that ends in good way..

So once again we have to salute Vikram for presenting us different movie experiences..

AR Rehman’s background score artfully sinks into the films soul . He should have given more memorable and catchy numbers. Tirru has given eye catching cinematography.. Prawin Pudi editing is unmatchable for this kind of concept.. Only slight drawback is few prolonged scenes because back and forth.. and that doesn’t harm much if are already in love with what you see on the screen..

Final Say..

The combination of this genius Vikram Kumar and gutsy Surya lives up to more than the expectations and delivers a must watchable movie..

75/100
