An enraged Subbu comes home and shouts at his son. In a fit of rage, he slaps his son, who swoons down and gets injured in his head only to slip into coma.

The rest of the movie is all but how Subbu wages a war to make the authorities concerned understand that education has become a bane on children. Does his son come back alive kicking and pursue his amibition.

Performance

Prakash Raj walks away with aplomb. he is amazing and tailor-,made for the role. He brings out the agony of a father well. His emotional encounters after his son fell in coma deserves applause. He has proved that he is worthy of doing such tricky characters well.

Akash, son of director Puri Jagannadh delivers his best. The young lad promises aplenty with his performance. Radhika Apte as Prakash Raj's neighbour plays a meaty role. Nasser, Brahmanandham and Thalaivasal Vijay live their characters. Prabhudeva appears in a cameo.

Analysis

It is a Prakash Raj special. He enacts, directs besides produces a movie that has a lofty message. Though at places it go little preachy, the purpose of the film deserves special mention.

Ilayaraja's background score give enough fil;ip to the emotional encounters. He has proved that he still the raja.

K V Guhan's cinematography is bright and catchy.

All said, Dhoni is a movie that are rarely made. It should be welcomed for it promises that all hopes are not lost in Kollywood.
