Sura (Tamil: சுறா, English: Shark) is a 2010 Tamil-language action comedy film written and directed by S. P. Rajkumar, starring Joseph Vijay and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles. Sura was produced by Sangili Murugan distributed by Sun Pictures and released worldwide on 30 April 2010.
Plot
Sura is a story that is set in Yaazh Nagar, a fishermen hamlet in coastal Tamil Nadu. The name of the place has a lot of political significance with the recent political turmoil over the ethnic strife in the neighbouring Sri Lanka. Sura (Vijay) is born and brought up here in the company of his friend,Umbrella (Vadivelu). Meanwhile, he comes across young bubbly Poornima (Tamannah) who chooses to end her life unable to cope with the death of her pet dog.
Slowly, she becomes attracted towards Sura thanks his good deeds. They start romancing. When things seem to go well, trouble enters in the form of a greedy and corrupt Minister Samuthira Raja (Dev Gill). He wants to usurp the land where these fishermen live. His attempts to take away the wealth is resisted by Sura. They cross swords with each other. The Minister hatches a conspiracy to bump off Sura with the help of his Ministerial post and authority and unleashes cops against him. Sura takes on them single-handedly.
Reception
Critical response
The film received negative reviews. Behindwoods gave it one and a half stars, declaring it "the usual Vijay fare" and that it "will cater to his die-hard fans" although there are several scenes where "even the Vijay fans [will] squirm in their seats with dissatisfaction."[1] The entertainment site Sify agreed that "the story is wafer thin and as old as the Kodai hills", but stated that Sura proved that "conviction can bring any formula to life".[2] Rediff gave two on five stars & praised Vijay's style, screen presence and "flair for comedy" and stated that the movie was a "sturdy platform for Vijay's political aspirations." [3]
Reception
However, though this movie was welcomed with large expectations, this became one of Vijay's worst failures,due to lack of proper script and screenplay,forcing theater owners in Tamil Nadu to impose a ban on his future films and demand compensation.[4]
