halder-sandeep I was in awe of this movie.if i am not wrong this movie translates as hunt and play in English( I am not a Tamil). if so then it ...true to it's meaning.over the past 50 yrs bollywood cannot claim to have come up with something like this.kamal hassan performance is outstanding,but the real hero of this film is director gautham menon.the only glitch i thing were the psycho...though they acted well but u need a seasoned actor to stand infront of someone like kamal hassanthe movie is a cat and mouse chase of two psycho and a police officer.the murder sequences are gruesome and perhaps the first time in Indian screen has depicted in such a manner.i wish some bollywood learns the art of filmaking from the south filmmakers and stop churning junks like tashan.This movie certainly takes Tamil cinema to ger8 heightsgr8 going for kollywood

madhu-5 For director Gautam fans, ever since his Kaakha Kaakha movie, this film aroused great expectations. Despite the fact that the songs were a superb hit, the storyline was weak. The movie prompted me to think that this was a ill-made commerical venture film possessing neither of Kamal Hassan's ingenuity or entirety to make it an entertaining venture. Both the heroines' roles were not needed in the story plot, and bringing the movie to America was another nail in the coffin. At least, I would've been satisfied if the movie had some creativity like CSI or medical detectives but alas, all this effort to portray schizopernia was sheer waste.

archoo16 Hats off to the crew!! Great movie, Nice story line! Nice songs!!! Kamal plays a tough cop, a widower, and comes across a gory murder by psychopath serial killer,Daniel Balaji who plays a medico.(Never knew he looked so good). Kamal as DCP goes to Newyork to investigate the case where he meets Aradhana who's facing a broken marriage and has got a baby. Jothika as Aradhana is so cute! Kamal comes back and gets the baddie and his buddy.And marries Jo and they live happily ever after!!! Cool, the idea of a heroine who's got a baby marrying the hero!!!tamil movie industry is at-last breaking all those dumb rules( even if heroine is widowed it would be before the first night!) and walking the path of better thinking!! Great Job people!! Plus -* Kamal * Goutham * Songs * Dialogues, especially when he says " neenga enna homosexuals'a?" Minus - * Much similarities to "Kakka kakka"!

Rajesh Da Scorp First of all, lemme say a few words abt the director.. Gautham 's first film is 'Minnale' , a nice romantic flick, which's been a trend setter for many films, since today ! ! He directed the same movie in Hindi also ('RHTDM').. Then, he did 'Kaakka Kaakka', again a real mind blaster and one of the superb cop movies in Tamil, ever made! ! He again, did it in Telugu and then has directed this movie.I personally think Kamal Hassan's 'Kurudhippunal' is the greatest cop film ever made in Tamil ! ! Now, He joins hands with Gautham for this flick, and this raised expectations all through the Tamil film Industry..This movie's been released after facing a truckload of problems .. . A highly expected movie too in Tamil nadu... Has some 'firsts' associated with it..Combines the skills of Gautham for the first time with Kamal Hassan. . . Harris Jeyaraj too joins Kamal for the first time....Now, to be frank , I really loved it just for it's technical brilliance alone. . Combine with it the apt screenplay and some good acting... U get 'Vettaiyadu Vilayadu' ! ! The camera work is stunning, to say the least ! ! ! No Tamil film 's captured the beauty of America like this one, before. . . Also, the editing ! ! It's clean and crisp . . . Kamal too has done a nice piece of acting. The only point to say is that He spoils some scenes with his overacting, a factor we see regularly in his films , of late. Also, I would like to say something about his freaky English accent ! ! As far as I know, He thinks he 's a real English pundit in his mind, and uses a totally freakish accent which I think only he speaks in the entire universe ! ! God ! He 's doing this regularly in his films where there comes a situation when he has to say a few words in English.. Remember the train sequence in 'Guru' where he talks to a foreign lady ? I felt like laughing thru' my ass when I saw that. Since then , he uses the same kinda language in all his films ! ! Here too he does that in perfect style (???!!!!) and tickles the audience.. I think this really makes up for the fact that there is no comedy in this movie ! ! Jyothika has done a decent piece,as like kaakka kaakka. Prakash raj comes for some scenes, and captures our mind where he cries for his daughter's death .The huge negative point in this movie, as far as I'm concerned, is the music and the songs ! ! This flick's been a nice movie sans songs.. They really tamper the speed of the movie. Especially, the 'sikki mukki neruppe' song's a needless one. Also, the flashback song 'paartha mudhal naale' and the duet with jyothika are definitely slowing down the pace, I think. The background music's been horrendous, to say the least ! ! I dunno why Gautham 's sticking with Harris Jeyaraj !! He has spoiled many movies with his background score . . He does it with style here also (!!!!) . .Those jarring noises are really a pain , to hear.. It's high time to keep him out of the recording room and let someone else do the background score ! ! Also, there are some small holes in the screenplay . . Like , how can kamal forget the fact to guard his fiancé's home when the killer's are on the loose , and how can the villains escape the police and roam freely in chennai ?? Except these, it's a good flick . .I've heard some friends say to me that this is a slow movie. .I think it's been purposefully taken like that. This is what happens in real life too. U can't expect the chase to be very crisp in real life. . When a cop chases psychopaths, it's a slow one.. Nothing wrong with it.My final say : Well, see it , Njoy and feel good for Gautham for making yet another stylish cop movie ! ! Don't compare it with 'Kakka kaakka' or ' Kurudhippunal'. They are the two best ever cop films in Tamil and this can be(remember, it's a 'can be' . . Not 'will be') the third one !!
