Silambattam is yet another typical Silambarasan movie. The movies created a huge expectation after the songs were released. The songs were tremendous, especially Where is the party and Vechikava-remix. The songs have been shot well but the movie is not all that great. Simbu portrays two roles, one as a calm temple priest and the other as a teenager who goes against the baddies. Simbu has carried out both the roles with care and has done pretty well. The heroines are Sneha and Sana Khan. Both of them have done their parts well. The supporting cast includes Santhanam , Prabhu, Nisrosha and others. The cast has definitely helped the movie. Overall, the movie is just an old story in a new form. If you like action movies and if you are an ardent fan of Simbu, you will like it.

Well I just watched the movie yesterday and it is a good action movie. And I simply adore simbu's dance in the movie. The music is awesome and this was what I expected from Simbu's film. It has a remix of Rajinikanth's song and that impressed me a lot the movie. It was a bit confusing when Prabhu appeared in jail, looked as though Prabhu is against Simbu but actually the villan is Kishore and the fight is between Prabhu's family and the villan Kishore's family and Simbu is the Brother of Prabhu. There are two simbu's appearing in the movie one as Prabhu's Brother and gets killed by the villan and Sneha gives birth to Simbu(Vicchu) who is the grand son of temple priest Nedumudi Venu. Simbu as a grand son(Vicchu) who acts as a inocent boy which I dint like and when he comes to know about his father and he turns to take revange on the villan. Thats where I like Simbu in the movie. He acts like a Billa Ajith, awesome atitude. Overall its a good movie and worth watching.

The self-styled "little superstar" Silambarasan apes the mannerisms and diction of Tamil superstar Rajnikanth in "Silambattam". Silambarasan attempts to keep catcalling frontbenchers happy with a generous dose of vulgar jokes and scenes. Then a local rowdy, Dorai (Prabhu), emerges on the scene from a long incarceration, introducing a tepid mystery element to the storyline as Vichchu is a look-alike of the jailbird's sibling, who was murdered earlier. Director Saravanan has acquitted himself slightly better while wielding the camera.

The narration of Silambattam switches between two periods. The opening scene shows Vichu (Simbu) as a quiet youngster brought up by his maternal grandfather and guardian, the village priest (Nedumudi Venu). Owing to certain reasons, the caring elder has purposefully toned down the young boy's emotional quotient and has taught him a peculiar art of living. (Simbu uses his eyes to convey the inner quietude of Vichu.) As a result, Vichu is soft-spoken, passive and groomed to tolerate all sorts of malicious misdemeanours aimed at him. Vichu assists his grandfather in carrying out the religious rituals as well as being the caretaker of the temple. Vichu's only consolation comes in the company of his sweetheart Janu (Sana Khan). Janu's childish pranks and teasing remarks make up for all the precious and youthful moments he has missed in his growing years. Though Simbu abides by is gradfather's advice, an unpleasant incident in the temple premises reveals his real persona. Vichu sees a big band of ruffians bashing a seemingly meek individual. Becoming furious at the sight, Vichu gets into the tussle and saves the victim. But, as the man takes a hard look at Vichu's face, he is stunned! What is the secret in Vichu's past? Why does it intimidate the stranger? A flashback shows a huge clash between the two village groups headed by Muthuvel (Prabhu) and Veeraiyan (Ponvannan). The reason for the clash? Veeriayan claims back every bit of land he has donated to the landless and poor villagers whereas Muthuvel and his brother Tamizh (Simbu again!) oppose his order. In the violent power-struggle, too many people die. It includes the fervent activist Tamizh, his dear wife Gayathri (Sneha) and Veeraiyan himself. Only Veeraiyan's last son Duraisingham (Kishore of Polladhavan fame) and Muthuvel survive. The burning intensity of the mishap stays alive in Duraisingham's heart and Muthuvel is the only surviving witness to the dastardly incident. What happens next? What is the connection between Vichu and Tamizh? What part does Vichu play in settling the long-standing dispute? How does he explain the knotty situation to his grandfather who has scrupulously disciplined him all these years? Silambattam has a riveting tale to tell! Simbu has offered a commendable performance in both the roles. Though there are evident variations in attire and make-up between the lookalikes, Simbhu's acting and body language establish the difference emphatically. Vichu's body language shows a forced calm and compromise, whereas for Tamizh, who has grown up in the shadow of his big brother, his fervour and ideals have a definite purpose. So here we glimpse the core of responsibility and maturity in the young Tamizh. When he synergizes both the characters in the latter part of the film, we get to see Simbu, simply unplugged! Sana Khan, with had a bubbly romantic part to play, is the youthful element in the film. Sneha as Gayathri is the soul-stealer, particularly in the scene when she boldly presents an alibi for Tamizh at the cost of her reputation, her predicament moves everyone. In fact, Sneha's role is pivotal to the story; the character's influence is felt till the end. In addition, it has also added remarkable depth to the narration. 'Machan Machan' the duet by Sneha-Simbu is superb! Karunas appears as Tamizh's aide and Santhanam is Vichu's ally. Both offer some light-hearted moments. Considering his mind-blowing performances in many earlier blockbusters, the role is but a cakewalk for Prabhu. However, the veteran embellishes the emotional character with a measured and mature performance. Ponvannan's clarity in dialogue deliveries makes a mark. Kishore's forbidding stance in the very first scene provides a prelude to the film's mood. All in all, debut director Saravanan has succeeded in creating a double-role extravaganza with Simbu. The story is indeed formulaic in places, yet we can also see the director's imprint all through. Cameraman Mathi's smart cuts and close-ups present two radically different Simbus. Kanal Kannan's stunts are simply amazing. Yuvan's music has already become a sensation among the youth. With all the collective and worthy efforts, Silambattam impresses as a thoroughly endearing production,n satisfying both classes and masses.
