Ajith, Trisha, Raj Kiran, Vivek, Saranya, Hanifa, Santhanam, Ajaykumar, Ravi Kale, K P A C Lalitha, Devadharshini, M S Bhaskar, Meena

It's Ajith's striking good looks, than his performance, that stands out here. The actor, who handles his lighter scenes with casual ease, flounders in the crucial, emotional ones, his voice letting him down yet again. Read More

Vijay Jesudas's Kanneerthuliye follows next. The thumping of the drum in the prelude of Kanneerthuliye creates a sense of tragic foreboding in tune with the lyrics. Vijay with his mellow, soul-touching rendition successfully brings out the pain, grief, loss and longing of a beaten soul. Read More

The driving force behind the film is undoubtedly the two central performances. Ajith is nothing short of phenomenal as a dutiful and beloved son. His demeanor, attitude and vocal style perfectly match the role. The interludes between him and Raj Kiran are soul stirring. Read More

Trisha sits (and stands, prances and dances) prettily, like a breath of fresh air among all the heroism and male electricity of Rajarajan, Shakthivel and Varadhan. Between the pair, hers is the more humorous role and she carries it off well. Read More

Music by G.V. Prakash needs a special mention and especially the Akkam Pakkam number which lingers on long after we walk out of the theatres. Camerawork by Thiru is nothing short of exceptional. Seamless editing by Anthony adds to the credit of Kreedom. Read More
