Review from andhracafe.com
'Billa', the third remake of Hindi hit 'Don', fails to boost Ajith's sagging career despite all the tricks in the director's bag. Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Don' (1978) and its Tamil remake 'Billa', featuring Ranjnikanth in 1980, were major events, thanks to the screen presence of the two superstars. Director Vishnuvardhan, of course, has given Ajith top billing and the corniest lines like 'I am the original Thala (the star's popular nickname that triggers wolf whistles)', reducing other senior stars like Prabhu to caricatures, packing enough car chases to overtake motor sport channels, William Wong's great action sequences, Nirav Shah's excellent...more

Review from apunkachoice.com
Comparisons are odious. But comparisons are inevitable especially when the film in focus is the remake of a Rajnikant starrer. This critic has seen the original �Billa� in which Rajnikant plays the don. remake, the Vishnuvardhan-directed Billa with Ajith in the lead role, is, no doubt, a quality product in terms of technological excellence, top order cinematography, slick editing and lilting songs. And Ajith has done an excellent job both as Billa and Velu. But then, you can�t beat Rajnikant, the �Sultan of Style� when it comes to screen presence! Be that as it may, full credit to Ajith and...more

Review from ./thenisai.com
Rajni's 1980 blockbuster Billa seemed like a prime candidate for an update. The combination of its strong story and racy screenplay, coupled with today's production values, seemed ideal for a present-day remake that had both style and substance. But this remake doesn't quite get it right. Its production values are top-notch but they can't inject enough energy to make up for the watered-down story and weak narrative. Billa(Ajith) is a criminal who does it all - murder, drug trafficking, arms smuggling. He kills his enemies without batting an eyelid and doesn't think twice about giving his friends the same treatment...more
