Analysis :
Kamal has done extraordinary job as the maverick psychopath Abhay. His scary expressions are simply superb. His role of Major Vijay is a dummy one. He is the saving grace of the film. Raveena Tandon's role is an ordinary one. Mani Koirala donned a role of Diva that lasts for 20 minutes in the film. Kitu Gidwani played the role of Kamal's step mom, who comes in the flashback. She is sexy and brilliant even at this age. Anu Hassan (a BITS alumni, who played the lead role in Suhasini directed 'Indira') played the role of Kamal's mother. Milind Gunaji played the hapless father of Kamal Hassan.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The film is brilliant in a few scenes. But these scenes too are so quickly executed that it's difficult for a common man to understand. The remaining scenes are routine and predictable. If you are a Kamal's fan, you can't afford to miss the Abhay's role in this film. Others can avoid it.
