INTRODUCTION:
7 Aum Arivu is a sci-fi thriller in which Suriya plays a double role: a circus artist and Buddhist monk. Interestingly, Shruti Haasan will play the role of Subha Srinivasan, a scientist. The story is said to revolve around a time machine brought to India by a scientist (Shruti Haasan). The film is also being dubbed in Hindi and Telugu. Suriya will sport the look of a Buddhist monk for only 20 minutes in the film. He will appear as a Tamil prince from Kancheepuram who travels to China and becomes a well-respected monk there. Director Murugadoss has done a lot of research on the role and sources who have seen the raw version of the film are amazed with Suriya's performance.




Review:  
Director A.R. Murugadoss has been boasting of the fact that the film will make every Tamilian proud and it gradually raised everyone’s expectations upon the film. "SUNPICTURES" brings you the first exclusive movie review of the much awaited movie 7 AUM ARIVU.



STORY OF 7TH SENSE:
Set in backdrops of 1600 years ago, the film takes us straight to the history of Boddhidharman (Suriya), a legend from Kanchipuram, who spread the philosophy of Zen, became the guru of ‘Shaolin Temple’, a medical scientist and commenced the art of martial arts in China. What happens is that such a great history is hidden that in turn trivialized so many arts that took birth from Boddhidharman. Cut to present generation, a group of scientists including Subha (Shruthi Haasan) are into the project of recreating ‘Boddhidharman’ by the technology of ‘RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY’ that is a method that includes the combination of DNAs from the lineage of warriors and versatile artist. Well, a circus artist Aravind (again played by Suriya), from the lineage of Boddhidharman becomes the source of evoking the legend. But soon we have an agent from China Dong Lee (Johny Tri Nguyen) arriving to start ‘Operation Red’ that will become a major disaster to India.

Everyone here becomes puzzled about ‘Operation Red’, but they’re sure it’s gonna be a terrible disaster for everyone. But much before they would find what it is all about, the antagonist has already successfully completed ‘Operation Red’

Will the young team able to break down the operation or succumb to the culmination?




PLUS OF THE MOVIE:
To start off with the basic concept of 7 Aum Arivu, it’s a very well known concept that every individual on this globe possesses the traits of his ancestors and there is nothing new about it.
 But what makes the film so special and quite unique is our hero ‘Boddhidharman’. The factual reports about him exhibited during the opening sequences of the film are colossal. 




MINUS OF THE MOVIE:
But what doesn’t interest the audiences is the screenplay that becomes dull at places and almost all the proceeding become predictable. To be precise, first half of the film has a moderate tempo and the conflict begins only during post-intermission.



We bring you some sequences from the film that deserves special appreciation…

1. The point where Johny tries to hypnotize Suriya and fails.
2. The dialogue pertaining to the death of a Tamil Liberation Leader and his culmination due to betrayal.
3. The action sequences on the highway road, where the entire public crowd starts attacking Suriya and Shruthi Haasan.


Suriya has done a tremendous hard work over his physique and his action sequences are very much perfect. But it’s Johny Tri Nguyen stealing the show with his marvelous stunts. In fact, the foreign actor wins applause with his introduction scene. Shruthi Haasan looks little nervous during most of the sequences, but delivers an impressive spell in songs, especially in ‘Yella Lama’, which carries a amazing cinematography. The onscreen chemistry between Suriya and Shruthi Haasan is completely missing.

Most of the songs are nowhere closer to the film 7aum Arivu. A.R. Murugadoss has purposely added the songs to add up length. Harris Jayaraj is losing his graph over the background score in his past few films and this one doesn’t become an exception. Most of the sequences have loud and noisy background score. Anthony’s editing is crisp, especially during the action sequences…
The initial sequences shot across Indo-Chinese regions are astounding – courtesy to Ravi K Chandran.

Except the fact that A.R. Murugadoss has attempted to upgrade the status of Tamilians, there is nothing special in screenplay and overall it’s an average show.





PUBLIC OPINION:
Movie starts off in China with introductory scenes about martial arts set in 16th century...Good graphics work.


Young Bodhidharman (suriya) entrance...terrific response in the theater and good BGM.


Suriya looks macho in the title sequence.


Bodhidharman story thread continues show problems in a chinese village.


Chinese song starts off after Bodhidharman cures a mysterious disease.


Another problem in the village and a fight to solve it.


Very poor quality graphics in the fight make people laugh.Very loud BGM.


Villains killing their own people...Reason being Drushti Vaseekaranam smile


End of Bodhidharman episode.Movie moves into present times.


Introduction of villain and operation red.Villain assigned with an important task and a show reel of villain's talents smile


Now back to India but 93 days ago.A movie full of time lines smile


Ringa Ringa Song.


Good picturization of the song but the situation of the song is very silly.Circus Surya introduced.


So far the movie is a bit confusing as it still needs to enter the main story line...All characters being introduced.


Heroine introduced in a very simple manner.


Aravinda is the name of Suriya in his circus artist character.


Hero falls in love with the heroine in first look...Director trying to evoke some comedy...So far a futile effort at that :(


Hero trying to impress the heroine...Movie going on at a so so pace.


Hero gives a lift to the heroine on an elephant...hmmmm...hero trying nonstop to evoke some comedy.


Munnaji song...Beach song...Shruthi Hassan looks gorgeous in this song.


About 15-20 people walked out...signs of impatience ??


Oka 15mandi varaku walked out #mutyala dharani song


Mosapoina hero heroine ni niladeesadu, fcuk off na dash andi, sad song, endi ra saami idi. Yamma yamma song


Countless walkouts for this song...Good song wasted...


So far the movies gives an impression that something is there in store but no clue about when all that will be revealed :(


Day 85...now heroine starts chasing the hero...hmmmmm


Hero dragged to a museum by the heroine to tell him about his family heritage...


Heroine explaining an absurd theory about how hero can be strengthened by colluding the DNA of bodhidharman with the hero's...Enter the villain...


Operation Red starts...Interval...Surya performance is the only saving grace so far...Heroine is absolutely emotionless...Zero entertainment...Only a strong second half can save this film.


Power cut facilitates a lengthy interval for us to recuperate and prepare ourselves for the second half smile


Some scenes praising tamil language muster good response from the crowds smile


Though he is a martial arts expert,villain uses Drushti Vaseekaran against his opponents who start killing themselves...truly funny stuff though comedy is not intended here


Twist...Villain being helped by people close to the heroine...Hero and heroine trying to chase the mystery behind a chinese villain following them...


A boring scene followed by yelamma song...movie moving at the same pace as the first half.


Nothing to rave about in this song...People generously treating it as a second interval...



Finally some interesting scenes...Operation Red being explained in detail.


Whole concept explained in detail with interesting scenes but overall it seems a bit silly to me personally...


Now it is the turn of Shruthi hassan to hog the limelight...


Villain searching for the hero and heroine in a separate track...nothing short of a buffoon...


Story demands the hero to underplay right now and he is underplaying dutifully :)


Great scene...absolutely stunning...spell bound...Oh God....villain tries to control the hero seeing him directly into his eyes and the hero retaliates with his eyes...Oh God


Villain calls his boss and asks him why he was not able to control the hero...very very amateurish picturization...hmmmmm


One silly scene...followed by another silly scene...making the previous look like a masterpiece...


This is a test of patience...some very very very silly scenes...


Hilarious response to a ferocious fight :)


You cant help but appreciate the director for dishing out this costly fight turned comedy sequence :)


Some simhalese dialogue musters good response from the audience :)


Innum enna thoda song...gwaaaddddd....


Efforts are on to change suriya into bodhidharman :)


Unfathomable drushti vaseekaran :X


Shruthi Hassan dares the villain to come and fight the Indian Army if he has a problem with India...20 or so lucky chaps are off the the battle scene and far away from the theater :(


Climax fight time...
Hero being punched out of our atmosphere by the villain :(

Now the hero gains some strength...hand to hand fight...

Graphics graphics...best comedy scenes of the movie right now...graphics graphics...

Never ending fight...graphics...graphics...

End of fight...Interview with the hero...Murugadoss on screen


End of the film...7th sense is not a movie for people with common sense..

Stay tuned!....
