- Who'll love it
- One for people who like their stories at full throttle and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. Same wavelength as Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 2 hr 4 min.
- What might put you off

- It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
