Vishnuvardhan is one of the very few directors who knows how to extract the best from Ajith and what exactly people like in him. He has written the screenplay accordingly and given plenty of scope for Ajith to impress the audience. All the little mannerisms, the 'Ducati' bike ride, racy boat chase sequence and the climax dialogue are few examples. Dialogue writers Subha have kept the dialogues really simple and catchy. Kudos to Vishnuvardhan for touching up on the Mumbai terrorist attacks and it looks like a little tribute for the fighters who lost their lives during that attack.

On the flip side, the flashback sequence in the second half drags a little. But, once the flashback ends, the movie moves at an intense pace and ends on a high.
