Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at fans of mob stories and anyone after some adrenaline. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. If you loved The Public Enemy or The Departed, start here.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Grand in scale, at 2 hr 37 min.
What might put you off: It's long: 2 hr 37 min.
It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

A local gangster and his adopted brother rule over a town together. However, their relationship turns sour after the man's sister dies due to the gangster's mistake.
