Story:
A commercial treat, the story begins with Fire Shankar (vikram) who works as a fighter in films but his dream is to become a villain onscreen. His life takes a turn when he meets the senior citizen Dakshinamoorthy (vishwanath) who is unable to bear the torture from his son Chidambaram (avinash) for a property he owns. While Dakshinamoorthy wants to donate the land to orphanage, Chidambaram wants to give that land to minister Ranganayaki (sana) and enter politics. In comes another bad man Mustafa (pradeep rawath) to complicate things. How does Shankar deal with all this forms the rest of the story.

Presentation: 
The director has come up with a predictable storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was fast paced. The dialogues were charged up, the script was written with commercial value and screenplay was apt. Background score was good and songs were not upto the mark. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was regular. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was suiting the moods. Vikram steals the show right from start to finish, he looks handsome. Deeksha was a visual feast and does her bit. The real showstealer was K Vishwanath who gives a riveting performance. Sana was good and sensuous, Pradeep Rawat was regular, Thambi Ramaiah was neat, Avinash was average.

Conclusion: 
As such, the film doesn't have anything novel or creative but it is the way the film has been packaged and the performances that add great strength. While the first half goes about on a lighter mode with elements of comedy, romance and action, it is the second half that gets serious with various twists. Overall, this is a film which is meant for time pass entertainment and masala for two and half hours. At the box office, the film would require strong publicity to pull the crowds to the theatres.
