  1. I think you guys had a few fight scenes censored. Right before Nithya’s death, there was a rather bloody and realistic c-section shown which it sounds like was cut too? Which is a shame because there was a really sweet convo between Vijay and his son where he was telling the story of falling in love with Nithya as the c-section was happening. It was a really effective scene.


    • 😦 I wonder why? We did get some of the conversation between Vijay and his son, and one or two flashes of Ice’s face – but definitely no C-section. And it was so odd that they completely skipped the fight scene. I wonder if it was because I saw a day-time show rather than in the evening. I might have to go again and check that out!


      • Are a lot of fight scenes usually censored in Australia? I watched it in the US and we typically get everything. I do have friends in the UK and they complain because I guess most fight scenes get cut out there.

        Now that I think about it, the fight after Nithya’s death was probably the bloodiest of all of the fights in the movie. It was well done but lots of blood. It was much darker tone than the other fight sequences in the movie. Actually, I’m not sure if this was cut too but young Maaran gets hurt and his dad puts him in a truck to protect him while he fights. I just assumed that’s how he wound up with Kovai Sarala and separated from Vadivu and Vetri.


      • Aha! That does explain some of it – there was a set of the baby in the truck but that was all.
        Re censorship – I don’t think we do usually. I haven’t noticed any obvious jumps in the storyline for anything else at any rate. I can’t imagine that they would censor a fight scene given how violent many of our own home-grown films can be. It may have been censored due to length? It was shown at a major multiplex but they just didn’t give us an interval break. I need to go to an evening show and compare 🙂
