The script does not have any complicated ideas like time travel etc and it’s a simple revenge story told with lots of fantasy elements. Lead characters with super natural powers etc would definitely satisfy the lovers of this genre and would also appeal to children.

But a weak flashback, poor placement of songs, convenient turns in the story and a dragging climax dampen the overall impact. The second does retains the momentum to a large extent and the fantasy element retained throughout offers many surprising moments. Towards the interval the film picks up momentum and we put on our seat belts expecting a racy and entertaining second half. But there are interesting moments here and there thanks to the presence of Vijay and fantasy based ideas like dwarf people, talking bird, a giant tortoise, black panther fight etc. But what follows are usual elements like romance, comedy etc loyally following the commercial agenda and they offer nothing new except that the film is set in a different place and characters wear different costumes.
