This movie is about any human being out there, the conflict that he faces inside him. All of us many personalities in us but we never show them out because we want to gel into the society with no hassle. And very few of them break out from the 'ego' phase of our personality.And that is the theme here. I never was a fan of Abhishek, but with this one he has blown me away. Brilliant and perfect. Very few directors rely on eye and facial expressions for conveying their message forward and Mani belongs to that category. Abhishek here fits the bill perfectly. Aishwarya looks beautiful and Vikram has done justice to his role. What needs to be seen is how he fares in the Tamil version where he portrays the title character. Govinda returns after a long time and it is good to see that he has got something substantial to do here. Mani's direction in some sequences really gave me goosebumps especially the scene where the camera goes round Abhishek for a few minutes showcasing his confused mind. Next up is...Santosh Sivan..he is a major star in this movie. Without his touch this movie would not have been on the average range. Even a normal location has been brought to life through his lens. Though there were a few glitches his work here is amazing. ARR...the man, his songs rocked. And special mention goes to the opening credit sequence. All in all, watch this for Mani, Abhi, Santosh and ARR.
