Then, things begin to happen. Chandru lands up in a foreign country and gets into trouble. Chandran seems to be going for harrowing Midnight Express-style drama, but the infusions of Tamil-masalaelements just don’t work. Imagine this: instead of scrambling to safety and returning to India when he gets the chance, Chandru sets out on a personal vendetta, exposing himself to the very people who want him dead. Maryan told a similar story with far more feeling. Here, there’s no one to root for — except, maybe, the technical team. The action choreography is pretty good for a Tamil movie, not just the usual gravity-defying fisticuffs but also a nicely choreographed hide-and-seek in the alleys of Morocco. At least for this we have to thank the big budget. Otherwise there’d be nothing.
