24 Story

24 (Suriya's 24 Tamil Movie)  is a Tamil family entertainer film written and directed by Vikram Kumar. The film features Suriya and Samantha in the lead roles. 24 Story In Detail ‘24’ is the story of a watch, with which the owner can travel to the past and future and control the time. Sethuraman (Suriya) is a brilliant scientist who creates a watch that could manipulate time. He calls it Project 24. However, his twin brother Athreya (Suriya, again), a dreaded don, wants the watch for himself, and therefore attacks his brother, killing his wife in the process.  Sethuraman escapes with his infant baby, with the villain close on his heels. Knowing that he has no escape, Sethu leaves his baby and his watch in a protective cover with a lady he meets on a train. Athreya catches up with his brother and kills him, but gets incapacitated in the process and goes into a coma for 26 years.  Click Here To View The Interesting Photos From The Movie '24' Meanwhile that infant boy grows up to be a strapping young watch mechanic Mani (again Suriya), who, one fine day and a series of coincidences later, open that box containing the watch. Having his father’s intellect in his genes, Mani soon understands the magic of the watch.  He begins to manipulate time to his advantage, especially in hatching a romantic plot with pretty girl, Sathya (Samantha). However, Athreya wakes up from his coma and comes looking for the watch that could help him regain his lost youth. Thus begins a brilliant game of chess between the similar looking protagonist and antagonist with time travel as their chessboard.   Critics Reviews From All Leading Channels

24 Critics Review

Filmibeat.com
The plot of 24 is pretty straight forward. Centered around a watch, invented by Sethuraman (Suriya), the film is a cat-and-mouse game between two characters. As expected, it is Suriya all the way. Watch out for his terrific performance as he pulls off the roles of Sethuraman and Athreya with elan. Even as Mani, who repairs watches for a living, he is outstanding. But it is the characterization of the other two characters that makes his performance a jaw-dropper. Athreya fulfils all your expectations to the fullest. Writing and screenplay by Vikram Kumar is formidable. 24, barring a few romantic scenes and an unnecessary song, is a roller-coaster ride. Though the second half is a tad slow, the film manages to keep you hooked throughout. Overall View: 24 might just be one of the best sci-fi thrillers ever made in our country. Yes, it has its flaws, but they are ignorable, making this Suriya-starrer a brilliant watch!

As the bespectacled father attempting to crack the concept of ‘time’, Suriya gives a cool, intellectual twist to his now-popular ‘good guy’ demeanour. And no, it isn’t as bad as it sounds. In fact, we warm up beautifully to it this time. Vikram goes on to ace the second and third acts by conjuring up enough bombshells in the character arcs of his leads. Whenever Athreya changes colours within the blink of an eyelid, we expect the time travel clichés to take centre stage. 24 is a damn-good, entertaining piece of that. The fact that a talented film-maker had felt the need to tick off the romance box in a well-written thriller is kind of annoying.

With Suriya in three roles, it’s obvious that he owns this film from start to finish. The scientist character with a sense of intelligence and innocence fits him like a glove and the clean shaven look along with a pair of nerdy glasses does the trick perfectly. Athreya on the other hand, is a ruthless antagonist who’d do anything to reach his goals. Samantha shines at her usual bubbly best and her scenes with Suriya, especially in the first half, are a pleasure to watch. She looks dazzling in the song sequences too. Nithya Menen doesn’t get much screen space but she has given her best with whatever little she had. 24 is one of those few rare flicks that doesn’t test the intelligence of the audience but at the same time captures our attention with some gripping screenplay.

Great acting by all the cast. Though it is a Suriya show, there’s not much of a suffocation in the story. Aathreya the top notch performance. Nithya Menen has displayed elegance as a wife and a mother. There’s maturity in her acting and kudos to her development. Though it’s just a small role, Saranya Ponnvannan has delivered her usual best! Will everyone understand the concept fully? That’s a question! It’s easy for a regular movie lover and Hollywood movie fan to grab all jargons. We have to wait for more response to know how all sorts of audience conceptualize 24.
Behindwoods
There might be a common argument criticizing the romance sequence and the decision to have chosen this episode to tell the power of an important gadget in the film. But what one shouldn’t forget is, a storyteller is given the tag ‘smart’ only when he understands his whole wide range of audience and designs the elements of his story accordingly. 24 is all about Suriya. Every emotion is portrayed in his point of view; from love to comedy to pain to revenge, it all comes under his coverage as he plays three important roles in the film. Verdict: 24 with all its qualities is a step in the right direction for Tamil cinema.
