Billa Movies first part realese in 1980 hero Superstar Rajinikanth
now Billa 2007 Release in Dec 14 hero Ajith

The worst piece of Billa was Ajith's pathetic performance. Prancing about like a Korangu than a seasoned actor, Ajith looks wooden in most scenes. There's absolutely no range in his emotions or his dialogue delivery.

One of the crucial scenes in the old Billa is when the Deputy Superintendent of Police (Balaji) convinces a street performer Rajappa (Rajnikanth) to impersonate the don after Billa's death. That memorable scene was handled with great finesse by Rajnikanth but completely messed up by Ajith in the new Billa.

While the story of the new Billa - filmed mostly in Malaysia - broadly follows that of the old Billa, the remake's story is disjointed with a careless screenplay that is frequently jarring. To put it succinctly, Billa is the eponymous story of a ruthless criminal and the efforts of the police to capture him and his gang.

Although a movie belonging to the action genre, much of what passes for action in Billa, whether the car chases, the killings or the fight scenes, are downright pedestrian and have been beaten to death in other movies. Hardly anything to write home about let alone savor.

Even the opening scene in Billa in the airport hangar was nothing extraordinary.

Adding to viewers' agony in Ajith's Billa are the two so-called actresses Nayantara and Namitha

In the Seval Kodi song, Ajith looked ridiculous prancing about in jeans while everyone around him is dressed in religious garb. Is there no limit to nonsense
