Adiradikaaran song was e-x-p-l-o-s-i-v-e !! Great picturization which fits the Rhythm to the "r" - it was adiraadi!

Obviously Superhero movies don’t need logic - anything can be added/subtracted as the hero’s image warrants. Add that to Shankar’s coerced exaggerated logics - you get a movie which is pure fun and time pass. I missed 2 mins after interval - so the second half was even more logic-less (how in the world did he land up the villains black money loot - that is awfully supremely lucky).

I enjoyed:

• Tongue in cheek dialogs/comedy (Mottai boss, M.G.R, Sivaji Mimicry)
• Rajini’s undeniable star presence and smart style.
• He doesn’t look like a 57 year old! Was it graphics?!
• Rahman’s BGM and punch music was infectious.
• Editor Anthony did a great job injecting dynamism whenever and wherever needed.
• Vivek’s and Rajni’s one liners and comic timing was spot-on.
• Stunts were well done. It had traces of Matrix, but still it was well shot.
• Songs as usual with any Shankar movie, was well picturized (50% credit shd go to AR Rahman).

Things that didn’t sit well:

• I hated the "getting to know the family" scenes and all the related "romantic" scenes.
• Rajini’s English or lack thereof. Its funny when he used to say "Stupid of the nonsense of the idiot" and not when he says "Richh get richer, and Poor get poorer or I was cornered your honor…"
• Hate the idea that a hero can literally bully his way into getting the heroine to love him (with a different BGM & hero - the same scene could be construed as ‘villain’s sidekicks’ threatening heroines family) 
• The climax was superbly shot - but I hated its placement (that it became a 2nd/3rd climax, instead of the only climax)
• Even simple logics were missing¹
• Poor Screenplay - that too from veteran Sujatha (But he made up for it in the dialog dept.)
• Why was a "Ballelakka Ballelakka" song which is speaking about Tamil values, culture and LAND - shot abroad, where you can see yachts sailing in the background)
• Sets - The was so much talk about it that I was underwhelmed - Sure, it was grand and all - but some sets screamed fake-fake-TRajendar-fake

It was 3 hours well spent, the fun - the energy - the rush was all there, along with a reborn Rajini - Cool!

[ ¹ * Instead of electrocuting himself, hero could have just destroyed the laptop - how? shankar doesn’t need any help in this - even if he put a mini keyboard bomb inside the laptop, no one would have objected
* A simple fingerprint could have given the hero (MGR) away.
* A free Medical/Engineering college + Free Hospital for Rs200c? What after this money runs out? However philanthropic hero is, its idiotic to build a system which cannot self sustain its existence - what will happen after 1-2 years after Rs200c runs out? Sell AdSense on blackboards and patient charts?
* Whatever happened to the poor alternate hero-look-alike body - and why was he placed in the first place? Shankar could have easily blown up the Jeep in ‘Shankar-Style’ - ie., Jeep traveling like a rocket up the sky, with no trace of anything;]
