According to the advertisement promos and as the media sites stated “ Aggressive marketing strategy of the produces udhayanidhi stalin ” , everything created a huge hype around 7aum Arivu. The film goers expected alot when the director stated that “ neenga evlo evlo evlo edhir pathalum adhukku mele mela mela padam irukkum....” . I personally think this is where the 7aum arivu team lost themselves. This hype created by 7aum arivu made velayudham and RA.one( with a cameo from thalaivar) looked a bit under rated film. Before the release it looked like 7aum arivu is the sure winner of DD. But what happened was absolute stunning.
This film itself was made at a huge hype around because of the rejoining of the super hit team “ Ghajni” back again. I every press meet the crew said “ Harris jeyaraj’s first word as soon as we started planning for this project was that, if we are going to join together again then it should be bigger than Ghajni in all means” . If that was true then Harris have selective amnesia.. The songs of this films are a Deja vu, you would have heard these same tunes already , Harris you really need to stop hushing your songs again and again. Lets go to the film part.
The film starts off with a 20 mins documentary( could’ve been short for 5 mins or less). This little period should have set the tone for the movie, but ARM missed this opportunity. After that, the so called love scenes was just horrible, he tried to recreate the magic of ghajni. But lost his track this time around. I really missed the ARM of dheena, ramana and ghajni , its not up to his standards. Then come the most funniest part, THE CHINESE PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH , also the censor board has done some good work by muting the word government, when they say Chinese. From here the the script falls into mediocrity with inept and amateurish narration.
It's a catch-22 for Murugadoss, who wants to explore hitherto untouched areas of our history and also not give up the safe route of duets in exotic locales and jigs on crowded streets! Apparently confused, he has a screenplay that throws up quite a few loopholes. Listing them is redundant but when you have a Chinese casually roaming around town wreaking havoc at will, a Law and Order wing in deep slumber, a handful of young researchers taking on an entire enemy nation and making huge decisions that the Government seems unaware of … you begin to wonder whether such greenness is really from Murugadoss!
According to me Suriya has done his job well, i couldn’t find too much of over reacting in this movie, like singam or ratha charithiram. The villain Dong lee, the stunt double for SPIDER MAN was such a power full guy. He din even open his abs, but in some scenes the hero goes and hide out. This guy added a lot of spice to the movie. Then comes the shruthi hassan’s part, she should really go and get some training from his father and also need to learn the Tamil pronunciation. Why cant someone dub for her. Did they ever think they could get national award for this role?? Seriously???? You got to be kidding.

In a scene where shruthi tries to support Tamil , it was a scene wanted'ly created to get the audience on their side. The director has failed over here, he has lost his confidence over his script and used tamil as his saviour. If u really wanna use such hard language against others for ill traeting tamil, then you should first stop killing Tamil. Shruti was literally speaking Tanglish all through the film and in that particular scene she was speaking more English words than any other people in that meeting room. We could realize what is goin to happen until the climax even within the first 40 mins of the film, and everything happened as expected. Which is the main reason for disappointment of film goers. At last the scenes in forest are just the normal tamil commercial movie, hero bashing up the villain, nothing new. I don't know where suriya’s all kungfu and martial arts skill went in this film. I hardly manage to remember a 2 or three fight scenes with martial arts. Too much hypnotism by dong lee made the people restless. Also most irritating part is Dong lee with too much of hypnotism and Suriya getting 8 packs through DNA manipulation.
Final word:
With such a huge story, you cant mess up with love scenes, duet , love failure songs.. etc. The film would have been better if they have put the effort over the screenplay, instead of putting all the effort towards technical slickness. Also despite 80 crores budget the CG work seems to be horrible. Suriya opened his shirt again and agian, but the real bodhidharmar was with a belly. Harris jeyaraj has let down this film with both the songs and RR, Ghajni was a treat by him, which this film lacks a lot. Also Dong lee was shown a little less power full character, He could’ve had more power full scenes. Talent wasted in the form of abhinaya and Johnny.
