Cast: Karthi, Anushka, Santhanam, Milind Soman, Suman, Visu, Prathap PothenDirection: SuraajGenre: ActionDuration: 2 hours 44 minutes.
Synopsis: After the Chief Minister ( Visu) turns down their request to sanction the sale of banned medicines, Allwyn Martin (Milind) and GKM ( Suman) hire Alex Pandian ( Karthi), a small-time criminal to kidnap the CM's daughter (Anushka). Alex, who is only after money, succeeds in the task but when he comes to know the truth, takes matters in his own hands...
Movie Review: Right in the opening scene, director Suraaj makes his intentions clear as to what to expect from Alex Pandian. We dive midway into a chase scene — the heroine, who is fleeing from goons, gets on to a moving train but just before she (and we) can breathe a sigh of relief, she is caught by a thug who has somehow managed to board the train. So, what happens next? The answer is quite obvious to anyone who has seen a handful of "commercial" films. Yes, the hero pops up miraculously to fight for her. Here, Alex Pandian actually materializes out of thin air — one second you are seeing an empty railway track and the next, lo, you have this hero is running halfway along it. If you are the kind of viewer who doesn't care much for such bothersome aspects, you'll find Alex Pandian mildly entertaining.
It is actually a pretty good opening sequence if you can ignore logic and the over-the-top stunts.
