Production

Casting

Initially Suriya was reported to play three characters; a circus artist,[10] a scientist and a Buddhist monk Bodhidharma,[11] set in China in the 5-6th century.[12] However, it was clarified that the scientist's role would be performed by the female lead,[13] while Vietnamese actor Johnny Tri Nguyen was signed to play the antagonist,[3] and Kannada actor Avinash was chosen for the role of Suriya's father.[14] Abhinaya of Nadodigal fame was reported to play a major role in the film.[15][16]

Filming

A group of 1000 junior artists were alloted for a song which claimed to be the highlight of the film.[17] A stunt sequence which involved shooting at Binny Mills at Perambur, Chennai forced Suriya to take a 3 day rest due to an ankle injury.[18] The first schedule of the film was completed in China,[19] which was followed by shoots in the Ampa Skywalk Mall,[20] and in Besant Nagar, Chennai.[21] The martial art of Nokku Maramam was depicted in the film.[22] Suriya trained to get a Six pack abs for a Kung Fu sequence within 16 days, following cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran's request.[23] Shabina Khan designed the costumes for Suriya and Shruti. She had to stay with the team throughout the filming process in Bangkok and Hong Kong.[24] The song "Mun Andhi" was shot in Thailand.[25]

Influences

Sources claimed that the film drew inspirations from Christopher Nolan's Inception. However, the director dismissed the news, reasoning that he had begun shooting much before the release of Inception. Murugadoss further denied reports that the film was a remake of the Bollywood flick Chandni Chowk to China, as both were supposed to be set in China, and that the film's concept was similar to that of the Hollywood film Perfume, confirming the script as original.[26] After completing the film, he emphasized that he had not been inspired or remade any film, stating that Hollywood filmmakers can "feel free to remake 7aum Arivu".[27]

The soundtrack, composed by Harris Jayaraj, consists of six songs including a Chinese track, sung by Chinese singer Hau.[30] It marks the second collaboration of Jayaraj and Murugadoss after the success of Ghajini. Lyrics were penned by Madhan Karky. The audio rights of the album were bagged by Sony Music reportedly for a whopping amount.[31] The composition of the soundtrack took place in Singapore.[32] The audio was released on September 22, 2011 in Chennai Trade Centre in a grand manner.[33] The event was hosted by Jai and Anjali, lead pair of Murugadoss' production Engeyum Eppodhum, while Bollywood actress Isha Sharvani, Lakshmi Rai and several international artists performed on stage,[34] which were choreographed by Shobi.[25] Actors Dhanush, Karthi, Jiiva, Jayam Ravi, Vishal Krishna and Ram Charan Teja attended the function,[34] with Dhanush releasing the trailer.[25] Though initial reports said that Shahrukh Khan would appear in the launch, it was later dismissed.[35] Shruti's father Kamal Hassan, did not attend the launch due to his commitment in the film Vishwaroopam.[36]

Critical Response

The soundtrack received mixed response. P.G. Devi from Behindwoods gave 3.5/5 and commented: "The album promises a couple of big chart-busting hits like the peppy 'Ringa Ringa', the melodious 'Mun Andhi' and the pathos-ridden 'Yamma Yamma'. Though there is a déjà vu feel all around the album, its a sure shot commercial success".[28] Indiaglitz stated that "the unique stamp of Harris can be felt throughout the disc, and that makes songs [...] a treat to senses, recommending it for "those who love and appreciate good music".[37] Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff.com provided 2.5/5, mentioning that "it looks like Harris Jeyaraj has run out of steam. While Yemma Yemma and The Rise of Damo are appealing, the rest sound like he remixed some of his own older numbers, or chose to be inspired by other classics [...] 7aum Arivu's music does have its moments, but these are few and far between."[29] Prakash Upadhyaya from Oneindia.in said that the album had "variety of songs. The soundtracks will have larger appeal when it is watched."[38]

Release

The Telugu dubbed version 7th Sense

The movie was earlier scheduled for a Diwali Release on 26th October, but with the prints getting ready on time and the huge demand for tickets, producer Udhayanidhi Stalin had managed to release the film in the afternoon of 25th October.[39] The satellite and promotional rights were sold to Sun Pictures.[40] Divya Pictures acquired the Kerala theatrical rights for ₹2.4 crore for release in more than 100 theaters,[41] while Bharat Creations bought the North American rights.[42] The film was given a U certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification.[43] The film is the biggest release in Suriya's career and will release with 1000 prints worldwide, with 400 prints in Tamil Nadu alone. The Telugu dubbed version, 7th sense will have the second largest release in Andhra Pradesh for a dubbed film by opening up in 400 screens across the state.[44].

Reception

This film garnered mostly positive reviews. Rediff gave 3 out of 5 stating that the film is "worth a watch" [45]. Indiaglitz wrote that "Murugadoss has made a bold attempt and has succeeded in it with the help of Suriya and Udhayanidhi Stalin. The director should be lauded for conveying a bitter truth- that we are not aware of the greatness of our ancestors- in a sugar coating. This 'Ghajini' seems to be a winner in all his invasions" [46].
