Performances:

Jiiva has done well in this role that has lots of scope for emotions. He excelled in his action episodes. Pooja Hegde is okay in her character. She is not so impressive in her close-up shots. Narain is good as baddie villain. Nasser is fine as commissioner. Girish Karnad is good as scientist.

Technicalities:

Mysskin came up with an interesting story idea. But he could not support it with engaging screenplay. Screenplay of the film is inadequate. Direction is not up to the mark. Narration of the film is saggy. Cinematography by Sathya is First rate. Dialogues are pretty fiddling. Dubbing is not perfect. Editing by Gaugin is alright. The songs picturization of the film fall short of what we expect after listening to Audio. Tony Leungs must be appreciated for his engaging Action Choreography. Jiiva and Narain went through special training under the supervision of experts from Shaolin Temple, China. The main Martial Arts team being trained at Chennai for 6 months. Even Gabriella Wilkins must be appreciated for Super Hero Outfit. Production values are grand.

Survi Review:

Mysskin inspires a lot from HOLLYWOOD; he probably went through successful Super Hero flicks and zeroed Nolan’s Batman Series for base of this Super Hero movie, Besides Action choreography, Cinematography and Mediocre Music. MASK failed in every aspect. The last half an hour of the film is very filmic and improbable. You can watch this film at your free time on DVD. It’s not worth your ticket.

Survi Review: 1.5/5
