Billa the Don

Yesterday I went out to the movie with my family in Forum Mall. We rarely go out for movies, since we heard that they ve made the film equal to hollywood movies, my husband wanted to see in PVR cinemas.

It is a remake of old Rajini movie Billa. The director was so careful that he should meet the expectation. So he changed the location to Malaysia and rich environment. Though some characters from old billa are missing, it doesnt ve any impact to the speed. The red diary has been changed into pen drive. I feel whether a layman understands what a pen drive is. I guess they might ve had some contract with a goggle company. All the characters in the movie wears goggles almost the whole movie. It looks odd especially when the billa and criminals wear the goggles when they are shifted to jail.

Ajith also worked hard but he is missing the style of Rajini :) He has taken risk in the arrow bridge fight scene. He has some punch dialouges like 'avan aruthala nan ore thala'. Some timing jokes also there like 'It looks odd to stand here with full suit but i am not talking about you'. I think the director could ve used this dialouge for wearing goggles also :)

Two heroines Namitha and Nayanthara are waste. Not much importance. They are just used to expose their figures. Since they are trying to reach hollywood standards, their costumes are also like that. I wondered how did Nayandara walk with such a pointed heels.

Prabhu and another police officer ve done their job well. Rahman's character doesnt have much impact since everybody who has seen billa knows his character very well.

Cinematography is good.

Totally Billa has come out as a hitech person :)

I would like to visit malaysia especially to see that pathumalai murugan temple and arrow bridge :)
