All I Think About Billa 2007

This is a movie that needs no introduction about the story, the cast, etc. The story spread from Amitabh Bachan’s Don to Rajinikanth’s Billa and Sharukh’s Don with some different twists and turns in each creation of it. But Ajith’s Billa is just a mix of all the three, a hopeless mix. And moreover, the climax is a replica of that of Al Pacino’s The Recruit. All that comes to my mind after watching this movie are only advices to personnel involved in film making now a days. And since that is too large in number, I will give only what is of most importance in the context of this movie.

First, for all you Rajinikanth fans out there, I am sure this movie will disappoint you. Even if you say that the movie is “ok”, please watch the old Billa again. I am sure your views will change.

Now, to the crowd wandering around propagating that the movie is “Hollywood range”, for heaven’s sake, please go and watch the movie Don (the new one), which is far better than Billa 2007 and you’ll realize that no big efforts have been taken to make this film since it’s a replica of Don.

In my opinion, the director’s biggest mistake was to situate the events in Malaysia. It would have been much better if the movie had been localized and taken in India. I would prefer Ajith’s silly punch dialogues to Billa’s forlorn styles. Here is a list of all the stupidity in the movie.

1. Ajith will NEVER get Superstar Rajinikanth’s styles, acting and “gethu”.

2. Ajith actually tries to imitate Sharukh in Don. That is a minus.

3. The movie is totally slow paced and Ajith’s dialogue delivery makes it even slower.

4. The movie is all about Ajith, Ajith and only Ajith. The background music, the screenplay, the actions and songs are all heavy only when this man is on screen and other details are given lesser grandness.
5. Namitha Doesn’t know to act.

And added to it is foolishness. Here are they.

1. The information about criminals is copied in a pen drive by Ajith which he gives to the DSP (Prabhu). The last half an hour is about finding the pen drive and giving it back to the criminal gang. The director uses advanced technology here. Yeah, in the current world, all info is maintained in PCs and pen drives are of course the most preferred way of copying files. It is so foolish that when the information is given in a pen drive to the police, the don’t make a copy of it. Logic is badly used here. (Very well, it’s a tamil movie after all.)

2. And before Raguman joins Prabhu, Billa’s gang do get information from about police’s moves. There is no reference to who actually gives that information, at any point in the movie.
And beyond all it’s absurdity, if there is one reason why a man should watch this movie, it is because Nayantara is in it. Throughout the movie she is hot and that’s what your ticket is worth.

I give this movie 1 star out of 5 and that’s only because of Nayantara. Long live the young lady. And I really think Ajith,being such a handsome man, should start playing roles that presents his acting skills than those that are merely made for magnificence and greatness of the Hero.

And for all Ajith and Vijay fans, stop fighting about who will be enthroned superstar among these two. The superstar Rajini himself is still out there marking all his movies and stands Rock Solid.

Verdict: Not the way to remake a film of such high greatness.

These are my personal views. Feel free to post your comments. Accepting and opposing comments are welcome. However abusive comments will only reflect bad on Ajith's fans and Ajith himself.
