Ghibran’s mature efforts in songs and BGM are laudable. Ghibran engages the audience with his background score. Except for one song “Single Kisske” in commercial format, rest of the songs are musicals. Kamal uses the “Single Kisske” intro’song as an excuse to shake his legs with the pretty heroine in foreign localess. Kamal appears short and stout and goes over the top with his expressions and moves.
Shyam Dutt’s camera work in line with the story, especially the differences shown between the current life and period portions. Lalgudi Ilayaraja’s art direction mixed with computer graphics is extremely well done. Cinematographer has used his lighting intelligently to blend the real locations, large sets and background generated by computer graphics. These three departments have worked hand-in-hand. Kamal and Ramesh Aravind have kept the editor Vijay Shankar on a short leash. Many scenes go past the useful life just to showcase Kamal’s histrionics.
