First day first show i watched Ajith starer BILLA at Albert... Actually i am not a typical ajith fan... But after watching the movie i cannot sit idle without writing a review on Billa in my blog... After Alavandan i should say vishnuvardan's Billa has all its ingredients to take tamil audience to the hollywood style... The first half was really super cool...Though i have seen Rajnikanth's Billa so many times in TV, i found Ajith's Billa is little different... the story line remains more or less same but the way it was pictured and it's screenplay was awesome...
STORY :

"A big time smuggler and ruthless criminal, David Billa(Ajith) meets his nemesis in the Deputy Superintendent of Police Jayaprakash (prabhu) and is killed. To nab the entire gang, the DSP devises a masterplan. He does not disclose Billa's death. Instead, he hires a pickpocket and Billa look-alike Velu(Ajith) to impersonate Billa and infiltrate the criminal gang. In return, he offers to take care of a young kid that velu has been looking after.To Billa's horror, the police officer is soon killed by the criminals.Velu and the gang are captured by the police, who refuse to believe his persistent statements that he is just an impostor of the dead Billa and trying to help the cops. However, the criminals quickly realize Velu's an impostor and not the real Billa.Velu is now caught between the Scylla of the disbelieving police and the Charybdis of the vicious hoodlums. Is there a way out for him?Nayantara plays the role of sasha, who joins Billa's gang to avenge her brother Rajesh's death at the hands of Billa." This is how the storyline goes... those who have watched Rajnikanth's Billa it is not a new one but the only change one can notice here was role of thangai srinivasan is not portrayed which makes the film more crisp and fast moving.
Pluses(++++)
The Biggest plus in the movie is camera work .Nirav has magic in his camera and the way he has played with angles and lighting quite on par with a Hollywood biggie – resembles international standards, very cool. Everyone knows the kind of output he gives in a Vishnu Vardhan movie, but the clean colours, the cold cruelty and the minimalistic backdrops are brought to complete clarity by him.However the location chosen was so cool that its a real treat to eyes for tamil audience...
Nayantara is the one out to tame the beast, consumed by the need for revenge. She is an electric mix of sexy and tough, beauty and fighting skill. The intro scene for nayantara is super cool that one cannot imagine for a heroine in tamil movie. She has did an awesome job in this movie. credit should goes to anu vardhan who is the costume designer for this movie.. Nayantara in this movie is too hot!!! man :-) [in one scene she comes in bikini wear and her tight outfit and new slim look really hot].
Yuvan’s music is brilliant! Theme music is awesome and Every single song along with visuals sounds great. The background music gives the visuals so much attitude, so much mystery and arrogance that it is a superb blend.
Rose dawn as rhia, rahman as police officer cum gangster and also all other character artist has played their part well.
Last but not least Billa2007 would not be there without its majestic director Vishnu vardhan and its hero Ajith. After watching the movie i think no one else in the kollywood can fit in that stylish Billa role other than our ultimate star. Ajith's hard work is noticed in the film... without dups he did most of the fight sequence and also the car chases. Hats off to ajith !!! screenplay is too good all credits should go to its director.
Minuses(--)
It is difficult to have film without minuses...Though the film was so racy and exciting in the first half but it was not carried with the same pace in the second half... the climax was too short that many expected it with more excitements and actions... In song sequence like 'seval kodi' and in 'vethaliya potendi' ajith should have danced little bit better- it looks like movements and the song sequence mismatch a little..
Namitha's role could have been better a bit more stronger... though she looks ravishingly hot and sexy in few of the scenes, in the song 'nan mattum' one can see she looks fatty and it is a sheer agony to watch and endure..
searching for Pen drive may do little bit damage to logic as one can easily copy a file from it and can give that back anyway its very common in tamil industry...
Though there are very few minuses its pluses has won over it... The film is a real entertainmenr for two hour fifteen minutes... i am sure that it will make ajith fans spell bound till interval... its worthy to watch... After anniyan this is the second film i am going to watch it twice in theater... Overall BILLA rocks !!!!
As many readers requested for the rating i would give 8/10 !!!

I referred your review for blogkut.com.
You can rate the movie here:Billa Ratings. The reviews for the movie are to the extremes (they either say the movie is excellent or they say that movie is bad). Whatever it is, I will see the movie.
As above, the movie has its pluses and minuses, but i guess the minuses were more so. The sheer lack of logic was incredulous. i've always had the opinion that the tamil movie industry always takes 1 step forward and 2 steps back, this was one of those which went back. This movie was trying to be too many things at the same time, this was what the original Billa with rajni did well and this movie after 20 years sucked at, sorry to all ajith fans. On the upside, the movie had great tunes, stunt choreography, camera work and the minuses were lack of logic in many situations (having a 'thani party' with santhanam minutes after being chased by the cops), bad editing, no continuance on the storyline.
Conclusively this movie was just a bigass commercial for tourism malaysia, especially useful in light of the recent bad publicity garnered by malaysia for its treatment of indians, and i almost forgot, kudos to nayantara on slimming down and stuff, too bad ajith got fat again, what is with this guy, he's like the nicole richie of kollywood.
Hi everyone...The movie came very well as we expected....as mayo said minuses are more than pluses....But this is very big treat to ajith fans alone..others cant tolerate the logic n minuses....Billa2007 = 30%glamour +30%mass +40%no logic
thankyou for a detailed review...
Nice one...
Nice review. But I see you have "borrowed" exact lines from various other reviews. As a semi-pro blogger, I am not against "borrowing", but please give some credit. Else it would amount to plagiarism. Otherwise this is a nice review.
Hi dudes
I really got confused with the Billa reviews found through google search.But i did watch the movie and my review for billa will be:
"THALA" always rules Kollywood
