Azhagiya Tamil Magan

Vijay, Shriya, Vadivelu, Santhanam

First thing first, Vijay, newly christened “Iniya, Idhaya, Illaya Thalapathy”, is magical. He is power packed, style personified and ruthlessly elegant. The ease and grace with which he carries himself is something that needs to be seen on the silver screen. Read More

Director Bharhathan (say, what's with that peculiar spelling?) falls short of not just logic, but technique as well.
