Story reminds of previous  movies, Gentlemen, Citizen and the latest Devan. But these are bound to be there when you project a hero who portrays himself to cleanse society. 

With his handsome carefully maintained physique and his sparkling eyes Vikram is all set to score again in “Samurai”, Thyagu (vikram) with four are behind kidnaps, be politicians, bureaucrat, where anarchy is on the rise this gang strikes. Though the characters are to be fictitious, one portrayed reminds of a fodder scam politician. A lengthy climax asking the supreme law to give its verdict against the offender gives a new leash to creative thinking. 

For a change the director has chosen medical student to do the cleansing work. (Society) Realizing the medicines supplied to the Hospital is spurious. Kavitha (Jaya Seel) Thyagu’s colleague takes it up with the Dean, finding 12 year old mechanic boy who died on medicine scandal. Finding her outcry futile. As she was not able even impress thyagu to rise against anarchy, she resort to lighting herself giving birth Samurai’s (valiant soldier). 

Kudos to the team Balaji Sakthivel (director) for keeping up the tempo, Sethu Sriram (Cinematographer) bringing pleasant nature, water falls, ravines, a real visual exponent & Thota yadhu dharani (art) gives additional fine-tuning to the movie. The same could not be told about Harris Jeyaraj (music) who fails to make any impression except for the last song. 

Vikram dream run continues with “Samurai” …Samurai…. a real soldier.
