BILLA - One of the most important films in Tamil cinema.....Such a stylish film in Cinematography, Making & Costume designing.Film's a trend-setter.....Ajith's most stylish film....Crispier script of all languages versions of DON & BILLA. (Amitabh, Rajini, Sharukh, Ajith, Prabhas) Yuvan has just rocked in the BGM.And, Vishnuvardhan's best......On the flip side, Songs are just average.Totality is missing in the film......Climax could have been better with any other twist.

The movie has too many flaws and just too much style for style's sake. The director focus on presentation aspects seems to have had its effect on the story and plot.Ajith looks good but thats hardly enough for a good action movie. Nayanthara attempts a macho look which does suit her at times but Namitha is an embarrassment. There are a few positives though, a few daring stunts were well done and the costumes have been carefully chosen. But the movie fails to build on its solid base. This could have been a modern version of a compelling classic but for Billa's fans this was a disappointment.

I saw this movie for Vishnu Vardan without any expectations. And, I honestly couldn't believe it saying myself. It's a good movie, though could have made better. I am still trying to figure out if it is really Ajith's movie. Usually, his movies sucks. This movie is by far his best works. The director had tried to make this movie in Hollywood style, I guess. This movie has no romance and no comedy. A complete action packed thriller, it is. I feel there are three unnecessary songs. They could have been avoided though. Then it might have been better.For others who couldn't accept this movie, don't compare it with the old Billa. I haven't seen the old one and honestly, I don't plan to as Rajini Kanth is the worst actor. He's all about style. You guys accept whatever Rajini Kanth does, but you can't this remake ? Honestly, if you can accept Rajini Kanth to come back alive from his death then, this movie is 10 times far better.The costume of Nayantara is the costume of Tom Rider. Some of the stunts are copied from here and there. The theme song is really good. The director succeeded in keeping the suspense till the end. The movie was gripping but not up to Hollywood standard.Maybe in the future good movies might come. I still couldn't believe that this is really Ajith's movie.My vote, 6.4/10

I'm a huge fan of the original movie starring Rajini... Rajini's charisma and style worked two decades ago. But in this remake While trying to be stylish, the actors look like clowns and make you laugh. The movie gives us an idea of how good the original was and how bad the present commercial movies have become. I don't know how long will the directors make movies like this that are an absolute waste of time and money. They gotta understand that dressing in black suits and wearing sunglasses does not say 'cool' anymore. There is hardly a scene that is somewhat believable. Ajith, who is hugely talented, should look for roles that brings out his talent rather than the heroic image that he is trying to portray.
