As in the lyrics in the song “MARANA MASS” mentions for creating pure mass on screen no one can ever create the atmosphere superstar can create on silver screen. That”s why he remain as the only superstar of tamil cinema.
Thiru who handles the cinematography of the movie has done a fantastic job creating the mood for a mass entertainer which is executed with some warm color tones and capturing thalaivar gorgeously without creating much gimmicks on screen. The most positive note that the cinematography has is the quality that has been maintained for a mass entertainer on its visual aspects. Lighting and toning were top notch for its atmosphere that it created not only for a mass entertainer but stays high for a proper gangster-drama that has an international quality. Properly trimmed and edited by Vivek Harshan especially the climax sequences.
Anirudh has done a fantastic job creating the terrific background score for the mass avatar for thalaivar and songs that thumbs up the adrenaline of the audience. All the songs especially “Ilamai Thirumbuthe” will enter the hitchart and win the audience hearts for sure. Thiru”s visuals has been strongly backed up by anirudh”s roaring bgm that surely creates a celebration inside a theatre and stays inside the ears of the audience that leaves the theatre. Another positive aspect is the choreography of stunt sequences by Peter Hein that”s superbly executed according to the body language of the superstar and done more realistically compared to the other movies of rajinikanth, but it works very well on the screen as well.
