Priya's family comes to Chennai. Priya's father, a CBI officer, comes to know about the love relationship between Ajith and Priya and opposes it. He decides to fix her wedding with a Londoner Renjith and carries out the engagement.

Being inspired from an award winning movie is not new to Kollywood, but doing justice to the story is tantamount to tightrope walking and debutant AL Vijay passes this litmus test with flying colors. A straightforward story with unpretentious characters, captured on celluloid in a most simplistic fashion.

The movie set in Trichy, is all about an honest police constable Rajkiran, who dreams of making his son, Ajith a sub-inspector of police. Being an honest policeman always comes along with its taglines, and when Rajkiran 's dream was about to come true, he is shifted to one of the most treacherous areas, Kodiyakkarai, a place ruled by a local dada Ajay who dislikes his honesty.

One thing leads to another and Ajith ends up thrashing the villain and now the wounded villain is keen to take revenge. And the rest of the movie is all about how Ajith faces the problem and whether he becomes the inspector or not.

The movie is shot very well but is not without its share of minuses as the director fails to sustain the momentum in the second half that was generated in the first half. Kreedom's post interval session seems to delve deep on melodrama which will undoubtedly bring the fairer sex to the theatres. One such scene is where Ajith is sent out by his father due to a tussle which makes him loaf around the town and enter his house late in the night. On his re-entry, Ajith’s Mother, Saranya, beckons him to have food and at that instant, all the members of the household come out with their eating plates, not having eaten a morsel of food without him the entire day. This sequence is sure to open the floodgates and make the audience wish that they were also part of this affectionate family unit.

It's very hard to pick who impresses more, Ajith or Rajkiran. Ajith has performed his part with consummate ease and looks dashing. His screen presence and dialogue delivery justifies his huge fan base and is likely to fetch him more fans. Rajkiran as Ajith's father has given an immaculate performance. His acting skills have been continuously honed to perfection and Kreedom is certain to be amongst his best.

Trisha's role is not a miniscule one but has a prominent part in the proceedings and she excels in it. Saranya's performance as Ajith's mother is very natural. Vivek makes a fleeting appearance but it is Santhanam who steals the limelight. VMC Haneefa, does a brilliant cameo in the movie. Ravi Kale as the inspecter was a revelation. Ajay as the villain thinks being a baddie is just about talking loudly and screaming at a high pitched decibel

The emotional and sentimental dialogues by AL.Vijay and Na.Muthukumar will definitely go well with family audiences. AL.Vijay has done a perfect job in selecting the right artists, and has extracted the best from each one of them like an experienced director. He sure does have a bright future in the tinsel world.

Music by G.V. Prakash needs a special mention and especially the Akkam Pakkam number which lingers on long after we walk out of the theatres. Camerawork by Thiru is nothing short of exceptional. Seamless editing by Anthony adds to the credit of Kreedom.

It's a good realistic attempt towards meaningful cinema. But if the sluggish pace in the second half is taken care of, the movie would have been much crisper.

Kreedom will categorically be Ajith's prized trophy in his filmi career.

Want to unwind yourself from your hectic schedule? Head on straight to Arya. Madhavan's latest release is a perfect film to relax and enjoy. It is a candy floss love story with right mix of action, romance and humour, Arya is the right destination for those, who love lighthearted cinema.

Unlike his earlier films like Thulli Thirintha Kalam and Love Today, director Balasekharan has laced Arya with commercial ingredients at right proportion which is sure to entertain all class of audience.

It is neither a mass movie nor a love story. But a mix of both that will keep the audience glued to their seats.

Featuring Madhavan, Bhavana and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles, Arya has enough thrills and spills to appease movie-buffs. Deepika (Bhavana) is an arrogant rich girl. A medical college student, she dictates terms at the college. Sister of local don Kasi (Prakash Raj), she is feared by students, professors and even the Dean of the College.

Enter Arya (Madhavan), a final year student who comes to Chennai Medical College from Coimbatore. A soft-spoken Arya runs into Deepika. They develop cold shoulders. In a fit of rage, she kidnaps Arya's sister. But Arya faces her challenges daringly. However, she soon falls in love with him.

But he is not ready to marry the sister of a ruffian. The remaining story tells us how the brother and sister put pressure on Arya to become a rowdy. After Run, Arya portrays Madhavan as a 'cool' action hero, who flexes his muscles well. Bhavana, the beautiful and talented actress performance in a convincing way. Prakash Raj fits to the bill well and his performance as Kasi evokes instant applause from the audience.

There is nothing new in Vadivelu's comedy except one or two hilarious scenes. Mani Sharma has come out with catchy songs. If Balasekharan's aim is to render a commercial entertainer without any logic, then Arya is certainly a feather in his cap.

A crispy narration and logical sequences would have done a difference to the end product.
