I is as magnificent as it was promoted to be. PC Sreeram’s camera work is excellent. The editing is very sharp as well. Shankar is one director who gives adequate importance to the songs and in I he has created a different theme for each song. However, the songs do not add strength to the film. Musician AR Rahman and Shankar have always churned out several hits in one album but in I they could not achieve it.
A very different story, completely different make up, Vikram’s superb acting, deep love, the way it has been filmed., etc., coupled with a bit of dramatisation is all I is about.
