If there is a 3rd world war, Its not going to be with Atom bombs or Guns. It will be Bio war either Cyber War. At this point many counties not ready for Cyber War; maybe except few countries. But many countries already created bio-weapons and they started testing in small countries (Eg: Zika Virus, Ebola virus ). There is a 2006 Tamil movie "E" clearly explains the Bio-war and how they using small countries for testing. It will sound funny to many people but it's true! if u do a deep research about it you will understand the dark side of the upcoming world.

Story: Movie starts with a terrorist attack on Indian Embassy in Malaysia. 70 year old man use his inhaler and he became super human for 5 minutes, killed twenty people in the embassy and after five minutes he also dies. Now Indian government must investigate the attack and they getting a lead with symbol of Love in the old man's head which is pointing the terrorist called "LOVE". Ex-RAW agent Akilan who killed love 4 years ago in Kashmir, now they need to bring him back to investigate this attack. He starts the investigation with help of Nithiya Menon (RAW case officer) and Malaysian Police. Rest of the story how he is finding out "Love", How he escaped from India, What happened to Vikram's wife Nayantara, who's is the mastermind behind love's untraceable activities, How he going to stop love's plans... You watch it on Screen!!

Acting: What can we say about Vikram? He gives his life and soul to any character that he play and in Iru Mugan too, it is his show all the way. As a RAW Agent Akilan he is stylish cold-hearted intelligent officer & Effeminate Character "Love" brings out the manliness and feminine side. He nailed it as Love. he made audience to though like they are two different actors with his perfect acting. Nayanthara (Ethical Hacker) and Nithya Menen (RAW case officer) have their roles clearly to further development of story and bring in the color to the movie. Thambi Ramaiya made us to laugh in few scenes as Malaysian Police Officer.

Technical: Kudos to Director Anand Shankar for fresh elements without stereotype story. There are lot of chemical formulas used by the characters with references. Specially the "Speed" drug (Crystal methamphetamine) used by Hitler in 2nd World war to increase his soldiers speed. I love the way he explain each detail to make us understand. He done a lot of research in small details too. Specially in the title card they showing the Evolution of weapons used in Wars. Harrish Jeyaraj did decent work with BGM and songs. R. D. Rajasekhar cinematography is colorful well captured Malaysia but what is important to movie only.

Plus+: Vikram, Nayantara, Love Character, Interval Block, Technical details in small things, Harrish Jeyaraj BGM, Cinematography & director brought new elements to Tamil audience.

Minus-: Event though shot in high quality & eye catching costumes, unnecessary placements of songs slowing down the movie. There are a few logical questions which look unanswered like why the love character is like that? why the police didn't try to enter the room in hospital when they lost the surveillance?

But still Iru Mugan has its pluses in the form of technical skill and performances. I usually don't write long reviews for movies except i'm impressed.I'm impressed with the concept here. My rating for this movie would be 3.5/5

P.S: Above review was written in my point of view and everyone got different taste!

Behind the Movie 7th Sense: Combo of AR Murugadoss and Suriya makes this film most awaited. Amidst sky high expectations, here comes the day of release. Let us see, how strong and how sensible is this 7th Sense? In the Movie 7th Sense: Boddhi Dharma (Suriya) is a Buddhist monk belonging to 5th Century AD living in Kancheepuram of Pallava Kingdom. He transferred the rich Martial Art and Ancient Medical Science of India to China. When he reaches a small village of China, villagers treat Boddhi Dharma as inferior and keep him away. Later when he cures an unknown deadly disease prevailed in the village and fought with enemies, people respect and treat him as a god. Boddhi Dharma ends his life eating the poisoned food offered by Chinese people.

Coming to present, Chinese Government starts 'Operation Red' using Dong Lee (Johny Tri Nguyen), a Martial Art expert. This Operation is to initiate bio-war against India using a viral disease for which medicine is alone known to Boddhi Dharma. Around the same time, Genetics Engineering student Subha Srinivas (Shruthi Hasan) cracks the DNA of Boddhi Dharma only to find that Aravind (Suriya), working in Bombay Circus belonging to the same lineage of Boddhi Dharma's clan matches in 80% of DNA. To tackle the menace of Dong Lee and Operation Red, Subha manipulates the DNA of Aravind with Boddhi Dharma. Was she successful? Was she able to preserve the ancient knowledge of Boddhi Dharma in Aravind forms the climax.

Values of the Movie 7th Sense: The impeccable and untouched story line of AR Murugadoss can be awarded 110 out of 100 marks. The way Murugadoss mixed Ancient History with Modern Science and the kind of racy scripting he followed will leave you spellbound. Direction wise, trade mark of Murugadoss is seen more in second half. Camera of Ravi K Chandran, sharp editing of Anthony and Art Work of Rajeevan stood highlighted helping the director to come out with enhanced output. Music by Harris Jayaraj is vibrating in background score but songs seem to have reduced the tempo of film. Martial Art compositions by Peter Heins are extraordinary. Production values of Lakshmi Ganapathi, Red Giant are all time high.

Performance wise, Suriya is most effective and his perfectionist attitude is seen in each frame. Both as Boddhi Dharma and Aravind, he tears the screen apart. Finally Shruthi Hasan has got a lengthy and meaty role to perform. In fact she hogged a screen time more than Suriya and she is exactly Heart for entire flick. Vietnamese actor Johny Tri Nguyen is terrific. He has a unique body language with sharp eyes that can hypnotize you. Remaining others are just okay.

Out of the Movie 7th Sense: Recreation of History visually on the screen and saying the same with conviction is a daunting task. Murugadoss added more of the burden to himself by bringing a connect between Ancient History and its applicability in Current times. Nevertheless, this gem of a director has caught a perfect balance and result is the exquisite, praiseworthy output. In conjunction, Murugadoss is more adorable for adding of moral values to his storytelling. It is our duty to respect and follow our Ancestral Traditions which are more valuable than present day Science. India has a great heritage and one should feel proud of. The biggest drawback and the reason why we Indians in spite of inherited with rich history are standing back in contemporary world is because of lack of focus and various difficulties built with in our system to conduct researches.

First half is deliberately narrated slowly with boring episodes so as to give a kicking feel in second half. Too many cinematic liberties, high level Science are spoken about in the film yet Murugadoss keeps everything simple and understood easily for front benchers too. That is the real quality of director where Murugadoss is brilliant and different from others.

We regularly speak of Six Senses in normal life. This 7th Sense elaborates about the Ancient Science and Traditional Heritage that is more sensible and is to be preserved for coming generations. Best examples are Charaka Samhita that dealt on Genetical Diseases, Arya Bhatta who gave an idea of Astronomy and many more which are above the present day research findings.

Commercial success of the film is to be wait and seen but for audience who ask for novelty in plot and narration are to be fully satisfied by Murugadoss in this Lesser Entertainment and More Enlightening show of 7th Sense.

'Siruthai' is about two contradicting characters, different values in the society. But destiny brings them together resulting in unexpected chain of events.

Rocket Raja (Karthi) is a cunning thief in the art of cut purse who never leaves anything during his acts. He and his side kick Pattu Poochi (Santhanam) follow this rituals wholeheartedly. Suddenly Rocket Raja's life is turned upside down when a little girl (Baby Rakshana) approaches claiming him to be her father.

Stunned by the blow Rocket Raja slowly finds out the truth. The little girl turns out to be the daughter of an honest police officer Ratnavel Pandian IPS (Karthi) who was after the deadly dons in the city. During one his courageous acts he gets killed in action in front of Rocket Raja.

Rocket Raja and his past revisits changing the faces of present for a paradisaical future. Rocket Raja now decides to take on the dons on behalf of the dead cop Ratnavel Pandian. The good takes on the evil.

'Siruthai' is the fifth film of Karthi and his second film with Tamannah after 'Paiyaa'. The films is said to have the right mix of fun, action, glamor, romance, comedy and sentiments. According to Karthi, 'Siruthai' is 70% of comedy and 30% action.

Karthi has said that he did a lot of homework to make the two different characters look as original as possible. For the police officer role the actor said he got a lot of tips from his brother Suriya who did the immortal Anbu Selvan IPS in 'Kaakha Kaakha' and also watched a lot of old films like 'Moondru Mugam' to get that perfect style of a police like the Alex Pandian.

One of the Great entertaining film in Kollywood. Karthi, Tamannaaa and Rakshana gave a great acting for the audience.Siruthai will be remembered as one of the most entertaining movies in Kollywood and is Karthi's confirmation as an A grade actor, a worthy competitor to Suriya; Karthi has risen. ;) Siruthai Rockzzz..!!
