Story:

A corrupt cop Osthi Velan (Simbu) a totally fearless but corrupt police officer with unorthodox working methods. But even the most fearless at times face a tough fight with their innermost demons. Osthi has had a bitter childhood. His father passed away when he was very young after which his mother (Revathy), married another person. Osthi has love & hate relationship with his half brother Balan (Jithan Ramesh). He decides to take control of his destiny and detaches himself from his stepfather and half brother.

One day Osthi fall in love with Neduvali (Richa Gangopadhyaya), daughter of a drunkard (VTV Ganesh). They get attracted to each other and love each other. There is an enemy to Osthi Velan in the form of Boxer Daniel (Sonu Sood). The rest of the story revolves around, how Osthi win over Daniel and get's Neduvali.



In a single word, Its Simbu's show. As a funny corrected cop he delivered energetic and entertaining performances. His fights and dances are highlights in the movie. However, one can’t compare Simbu’s performance with Salman Khan’s performance. STR has his own style of body language.

Sonu Sood does what he did in the original. He got good screen presence in the movie. Next to STR, Sonu Sood’s character is main and important character in the movie.

Richa Gangopadhyaya, who was supposed to make her debut in Kollywood with this movie has done good job. However, this is her second released movie, the first was Mayakkam Enna. As Neduvalli, who is in love with Osthi Velan, she is homely yet glamorous. Her expressions and emotions are apt and director extracts the best from Richa.

Jithan Ramesh acted as step-brother of Osthi. He has a done a meaty role which has good screen presence. He played a energetic role in which he loves Saranya Mohan and tries hard to marry her.

Santhanam acted as funny cap. He is at his best and scenes involving him and Simbu brings lot of laugh.

The other important cast VTV Ganesh, Thambi Ramiah, Nasser, and Revathy done their job well.

One of the highlight of the movie is item song, in which Bollywood sexy-siren Mallika Sherawat steals the show.


The story and taking of the movie is almost equal to original version, Dabangg. However, director Dharani managed to bring Tamil flavor to the movie with minor changes in characterizations and script.

Thaman's music and background score is excellent. The title song of the movie sung by Baba Sehgal is best in audio.

This is a full fledged commercial movie by Dharani with all the elements and flavors included. The dialogues and cinematography are good.

Finally:

Watch the movie for fun, action and romance. Full entertainment guarantee!

Rating-3.5/5
