Synopsis

After a smuggler kills his beloved sister, a mentally impaired man vows to seek justice and joins a martial arts school to become a master fighter.

Our take

Another gem from superstar Rajinikanth and his unique brand of masala movies, this Tamil martial-arts film is out-and-out entertaining. A revenge drama that is loosely inspired by The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and powered by catchy musical numbers from the reclusive master Ilaiyaraja.
