Tamil Movie Ezham Arivu Review

      

                 Due to the huge commercial success of last combination of A.R.Murugadoss and Suriya, 7am Arivu has raised great expectations among the fans and Tamilians. Besides this great promotions and trailers of the film is also a major factor for raising this expectations. So, what is this movie about?

                    Yes, Yes, as everyone knows it involves Bodhidharman and China. Whole tamil movie fans would have googled 'Bodhidharman' atleast one time over the past month. Director A.R.Murugadoss had revealed that 10 Crore Rupees was spent only for the first 10 minutes of the movie. This fact also is a great reason for watching this movie.

                                  Movie stars, ofcourse, Suriya, and charismatic lady, and daughter of 'Ulaga Nayagan' Kamal Hassan, none other than Shruthi Hassan. It also features hollywood martial artist Johny Tri Nguyen, who was under the mask as Spiderman, in the movie Spiderman.

                  Film starts up with the fictional history of 'Bodhidharman'(Suriya) who was a Pallava Prince, who goes to China for helping the people there. He helps them out in viral danger as well as from human danger. He teached them martial arts and medicinal skilland also 'Nokkuvarmam' a skill of controlling others' mind. And he decides to come back to India. But Chinese people tries to kill him believing that if Bodhidharman is buried there, their place will be free of diseases. Bodhidharman accepts it and kills himself by drinking the poison.
                           Film then switches into modern China where Dong Lee (Johny Tri Nguyen) is given a mission to start a bio-war between India and China, by spreading a viral disease in India. Meanwhile in India, Arvind(Suriya) a joyful Circus Artist is attracted towards Subha(Shruthi), a genetic engineering student. Arvind thinks Subha really loves her, but later discovers that she is cheating him for some reason. Then in the movie, it is revealed by Subha that she had discovered that Bodhidharman the same Indian Monk's skills can be brought back to life by activating some genes in Arvind's body. But the experiment is threatened by Dong Lee, who knows 'Nokkuvarmam' the very same skill which was introduced to China through Bodhidharman. By the time, the disease was transmitted to a stray dog and was being spread all over madras. Then Subha and Arvind discovers that Subha's professor was helping Dong Lee for money. Through him, it is revealed that if the disease raises the death rate critically, China will release the remedy for this disease, which also was taught to Chinese by Bodhidharman. He also reveals that  if Subha succeeds in her experiment, Bodhidharman will easily find the medicine for the disease and the mission will be failed. That's why Dong Lee is searching for Subha and Arvind to kill them. For stopping the spreading of the disease and escaping from Dong Lee, Subha, Arvind and Subha's friends decides to  start the experiment from a secret place in Madras. The experiment was prograssing successfully, until Dong Lee traces the venue of experiment. Subha and friends aborts the experiment and tries to flee with Arvind. But Dong Lee blocks the way and tries to kill Arvind. But Bodhidharman's skills comes in to Arvind, at this point of the movie. Arvind, with skills of Bodhidharman kills Dong Lee. He successfully stops the spreading of disease and the movie ends with the speech of Arvind, that we need to remember our history and teach all our practices in the name of science and not God.

                   The film is a good family entertainer, but did not hit the expectations. It was recieved mixed reviews from viewers. The music was done by Harris Jayaraj which recieved mostly positive reviews from listeners.

       This movie is definitely a good family entertainer.
