AnirudhвЂ™s music fits well into the style of the film, especially with the wonderfully upbeat Aaha Kalyanam and SP Balasubrahmanyam appearing on the track Marana Mass.

The different areas of the hostel, a street market and a warehouse full of chairs allow him to create some novel situations and moves while a sequence with Petta practising with nunchucks in front of a fire is brilliant.

Peter HeinвЂ™s action sequences work well and the various locations too. ThirunavukarasuвЂ™s (Thiru) lighting and cinematography is beautifully done to maximise the different settings, particularly when the action moves north and the characters are surrounded by a festival in the streets. Rajinikanth looks amazing in this film and he moves more freely here in the dance and fight sequences than in his other recent films. His son Jithu (Vijay Sethupathi) is well placed to take on the task as heвЂ™s the chief rowdy in charge of SingaraamвЂ™s various dubious enterprises and has no issues at all with either murder or mayhem. Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays Singaaram, a long time enemy of Petta who is out for blood and determined to get rid of Petta once and for all. Here the plot starts to thicken and Karthik Subbaraj remembers to add his signature twists to the storyline. Petta has a mysterious past and eventually it catches up to him in the second half necessitating a move to Uttar Pradesh. Petta is front and centre of every frame вЂ“ beating up bad guys, making the perfect dinner and setting the world to rights вЂ“ just as we want him to do, but the lack of a build-up or real motivation for Petta makes some of these scenes just a bit too predictable. Karthik Subbaraj has written the character to recreate the perfect storm that is SuperStar Rajinikanth, but this means that the other characters have little back story and even less time in front of the camera. Many of his poses recall his earlier blockbuster films while the dialogue is sharp and on point, raising plenty of cheers from the audience in Melbourne.

Along the way he plays old Tamil movie songs on an ancient radio and indulges in trademark Rajni antics with cigarettes, sunglasses and various other props. Classic Tamil hero stuff and Rajni plays the tough hero persona with his usual flair. The first half of the film sets up the character of Petta as a righteous man who is willing to do what it takes to win, but who is ultimately on the side of good.
