Billa (2007)

i must have seen a different film!!

Beautiful, moving film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This film is perhaps a fast paced remake of the Hindi Don, but it's not that good. They have borrowed ideas from both films- the Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh flicks. But still after a while it takes a unique turn and proceeds differently.Story is basically similar to the Hindi flicks - an innocent conman is appointed by the police to impersonate an international criminal (who has been killed by police)because he is a look-alike, in order to infiltrate the gang and reach the top leader.Ajith's and Prabhu's acting is cool, music is good, some stunts are good but nothing like the Hindi flicks.The songs are all dumb really,the females are just dancing around. Not much of logic in the film.Watch it for fun only.

First of all, I've got to say Ajith Kumar's acting was top-notch. Frankly, among other's from Amitabh, Rajni, SRK, Prabhas, Ajith has given the best version of Don.The cool, suave, yet menacing as well as electrifying personality which was carried practically by Ajith throughout the film.His definition of style made Sharukh looks like a joke. Ajith's good looks, style, restrained acting, easily makes SRK pale in comparison.Most peoples that bad-mouth the film are SRK fans that simply felt threatened over Ajith's astounding acting performance.Yeah, truly. What does Bollywood guys do? They attempt to act, called it as acting, trash.Here, in Kollywood, pure talents are ruling the roost. Ajith Kumar is one. A gem.

Billa was superb and most stylish ever made in tamil film industry.So guess how much impact it created among all over the world.Its really a fantastic movie i ever seen .Most stylish film ever in the history of south Indian films.Its almost like Hollywood movie.The way music performed by Yuvan Shankar Raja was superb.The theme music was excellent .It even catched many peoles mind. Just imagine that the movie is the third remake of Don after King Khan.Even though story was known to everybody , the way film was directed made people to see the movie with more eagerness.Also repeated audience made the film a grand success

It's been awhile since I've gone to a movie and gotten such a terrible headache.Since Faran Akthar remade Don with success, Vishnu Vardhan thought that he could remake Billa and have just as much success. Wrong! Even without comparing the 2 movies, (Billa and Billa 07) I still say Billa 07 was terrible. It was terrible not only as a remake, but a movie.Vishnu Vardhan was confused on how to direct this movie. The scenes were choppy, and sometimes it felt like it didn't fit together. What was supposed to remain a secret for suspense was told in the beginning, and what needed to be told to help with the audience's understanding wasn't.Ajith Kumar didn't act. He was just there. You couldn't tell the difference between him as Velu and him as Don. He also looked like a skeleton in this movie.None of the ladies could act (though none had a role big enough to show great acting ability in) and honestly, they all looked fat. The costume designer was terrible! I didn't like the songs. They had too much of that nauseous drumbeat.Overall, it's a movie to skip. Everything about the movie just yells "terrible." Don't waste your money.
