Got to watch this movie a second time recently- just hated it the first time (I was about 10 years younger then). What a classic! This is the closest any Tamil movie has gotten to a Hollywood standard action thriller, at least among the ones I have seen. Just got to know that this was a remake of the Hindi movie 'Drohkal'-want to see the original sometime.
Needless to say, Kamal's performance stands out as an honest, brave police officer, torn between his duty and vulnerabilities as the protector of his family. Surprisingly, the performance of Nassar beats even that of Kamal, except for a few dramatic sequences. The dialogues hit home most of the time, and the cinematography is fantastic (it definitely shows that it is PC Sreeram on the driver's seat). Maybe this movie was way ahead of it's time, kudos to Kamal for bringing such bold stories to Tamil-and for doing it time and again.
Verdict: This one is for the collection.
