But Anjana doesn't accept his love and gets him a condition to meet his father has she got great respect to him. Unfortunately his father to doesn't like him..in the conversation his father dies in gunfights between the dons...after few days..she accepts his love but with conditions that he needs to get the killer who killed his dad..makes him to surrender to the police. Ramana fond of lovers( his previous love affair) ask who killed her dad.Siva points him and asks to surrender to Mumbai Police...there starts the challenge.

Siva challenges to Ramana that he will dethrone your don rule and make him stand alone..Few incidents here and there...Ramana comes to know that siva is none other ..but his own brother..his frustration increases..AT the same new police commissoner wants the city clean.marks Ramana for Encounter...Did Ramana escaped from encounter..meet his brother..what happened to jiiva and his love is told with never said climax in the history of indian Cinema ..that is stupendous one...

Strengths

Jiiva did his job best..and his scenes with santhanam is great relief for the audeince..he sails better in this meaningful movie..Nandha the scene stealer..with his knock out performance..slightly a lengthy role than jiiva is dynamite..he looks smart and energetic in the don role..good show..Tapsee character is new to the movie..she equally has the space...bright and bold ..Santhanam is the man who doesn't disappoint his fans..his timing one liners are treat...worked well with Jiiva combo..

Techincal side..PG Muttahiaha.DOP has done a good work showcasing never seen place in mumbai through his eye catching visuals..songs are the pick-of-photography..Music by Thaman is sure a added advantage as his songs "kanchana Mala" and " anajana" already chartbusters which had some touch with opening of the movie..Stunts looked real..Direction by kannan has to be lauded ..no vulgarity. no violence, no skin show..his previous movies to carried this trade mark.

Weakness

The script lets the brilliant climax down..the pace lacks coherence.most of the time it drags..Tapsee-Jiiva chemistry lacks...no feel in their love...lot of loopholes in the script even..every one in theater shouts that Jiiva is the brother before the suspense released...too much of songs spoil the movie pace..Tapsee need to work out on lip sync and expressions...though some scenes makes you wake..makes you yawn immediately..that is the problem of the movie...Dull narration....

As of jiiva's performance..Rowthiram was even better which showcased his talent

Verdict: 3/10( 1 for Performance, 1 for music and .5 for photography & .5 for climax)

Movie canvas Punch: Vandhan Vendran..only vandhan..not vendran..
