    really interesting and well done movie

    This movie is like a mixture of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Silence of the Lambs, and Face Off. But its unique in it's own way and pretty unusual for a Hindi movie. The acting performances are good, and especially the drug trips are great to watch. This movie has cult potential.

    crazzyyy!!!

    I read reviews form a lot of people and places.. and most of them said this movie was pretty bad.. but i think most of the people are looking at this movie from too narrow of a mindset..

    this movie is about abhay and vijay.. abhay is suffering from schizophrenia which becomes even worse after he starts experimenting with all kinds of psychedelic drugs.. this movie takes you to journey through the delusioned and schizophrenic mind of abhay.. and tries to show you what is going on in there..

    all what i can say is.. this is one of those rare indian movies which might not be for everyone to see.

    BEST COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINER

    One of the best action movie ever...Nandhu wat AAA emerging & energetic performance each and every time Nandhu occupied in screen presence...and technically one of the brilliant film stunt scenes,top notch cinematography, music everything and special credit for CG ..it's a milestone of Asian cinema (first Asian movie used motion capture technology)..some scenes are vulgar and brutal, but it's worth watch.. one of all time favorite movie.

    ABHAY hindi dubbed Double role exploited with high tech visualsstunts

    What KH cannot do?

    Legend of South has one more to amaze us. I have seen hindi version where songs lyrics understandably cannot match the desired thrust.

    We have seen double roles good Bad theories justification of why bad all the Masala mixed well. Technically crafting the look of Abhay+mannerism.

    Míxing with Comics of children, Halusination its double interactive live shots treat to watch. Visuals so in imaginations done with VHS, vision mixing, editing superbly keeps the thrill in good KH and Ravina are chased by bad KH and the cat mouse game treat keeps one on edge. As we know all these is fantasy but wel-portayed. Manisha Koiral small role adds the treat.

    Wotch I. Stereophonic big screen will be better.

    • Trivia
      This movie prevailed as an inspiration for the animated sequence involving fight scenes and violence in the Quentin Tarantino movie - Kill Bill.
    • Goofs
      During the chase scene near the climax, there is a point where Nandhu/Abhay does a side-wheelie with his car while Vijay fires at it from his car. In some shots, either the back tire or the front tire of Nandhu's car is not moving at all, even though he is still driving.
