  Billa 2007

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  You “can can” locate Billa (2007) somewhere in between To’s The Mission and Tony Scott/Mann aesthetics, Ajith moving through the expected 4D chess cop and criminal ego power plays is wholly satisfying but filter those aforementioned sorts of movies through the mass hero and you get Billa tramp stamps and Billa light up staircase shootouts, training montages to become Billa, horny item songs dedicated to Billa, celebration songs declaring I am Billa. The third act of this is Ajith pleading to everyone around him that he is not Billa but it is hard to buy into that when Everything is Billa.

  Watching this in 70mm imax was absolutely breathtaking and easily my greatest cinema experience

  Full review eventually?
