Director Ajay Gnanamuthu’s ‘Cobra’ is an intense but lengthy action entertainer that manages to impress you in parts.
The first half of the film is more of an action entertainer while the next half has equal doses of action, drama and family sentiment to offer.
The story begins with Rishi (Roshan Mathew) a ruthless business tycoon who fears no one, having a stand off with the Chief Minister of a state. Drunk on the power his business empire provides him, he orders the assassination of the Chief Minister who was looking to thwart his plans of business expansion.
Rishi’s most potent weapon is a person nicknamed the Cobra (Vikram), a brilliant mathematician whose identity even Rishi does not know.
Rishi’s instructions are communicated to the Cobra, whose real name we get to know is Mathi, through a journalist (K. S. Ravikumar) and they are carried out with precision every single time.

ReviewThe movie’s plot is all about a billionaire scientist called Saravanan on a mission to find a cure for diabetes. But the cliches overtake the plot in every scene.Bharathy SingaravelEvery Kollywood cliche to ever exist is on offer, at each turn. There are not one, but two “loosu ponnu” heroines (Geethika Tiwari and Urvashi Rautela). Neither of them can act very well, but no matter, they’re pale-skinned and that’s all the industry demands. All the character-building required is to refer admiringly to one of the heroines as a “suthamaana Tamil ponnu” (a ‘pure Tamil woman’). And have her chase after a baby goat to sentimental music, while the foreign-return hero avidly watches on. The film is a hero vehicle for Saravanan Arul who’s making his debut on the big screen. Saravanan belongs to the business family that founded the famous Saravana Stores chain. The son of Saravanan Selvarathinam,...

In Iravin Nizhal, he oversees a host of characters, a story shifting back and forth over several years and claustrophobic sets while also starring in the film. Pulling all this together could have been no easy task, even without Parthiban telling you so. But he does. Repeatedly. The first half hour of the film’s run time is taken up by an increasingly dizzying making-of sequence, to the point I was worried I’d accidentally walked in at the end. This is the first single-take non-linear film in the world, we are told. Over and over again. When this sequence is finally over, the film cuts...
