Mani Ratnam again ventured into the territory unknown to the Indian directors; this time his success is just limited to good cinematography that is all which is good about the movie. Abhishek Bachchan(Beera) is a big let down. The whole movie was expected to be depending on his performance but they way he portrayed the lead character leaves a bitter taste it mouth.At time you wonder where there is something wrong with his acting or it his best work :-(.Role demanded him to show intensity, moment of craziness and hidden softer side.When he is supposed to smile in moment of madness , those moments look cheesy rather then terrorizing. Aishwarya(Tara) does nothing more than screaming in cacophony.Maybe that was as per the script ;-).Vikram (Dev) plays the bad guy badly as got nothing more to do. Story is some old revenge driven.1st half is damn boring and annoying.In 2nd half by the time story somehow picks up ; its too late to repair the damage. Brave attempt to do the thing differently but they ended up too indifferent for audience.
