Movie Review : DURAI

A small comparison between the Movie Durai (2008) and Gladiator (2000).

Gladiator : Maximus (Russell Crowe) is an army general and true servant of the king Marcus Arelius
Durai : Durai (Arjun) is a true servant/follower of a political leader
Gladiator : Dying Marcus Arelius, appoints Maximus as the temprory king of the Rome and eventually to return the power to the Roman senate.
Durai :The political leader want to appoint Arjun as the next chief of his party.
Gladiator : Marcus's son kills his father and ascends to the throne. He tries to execute Maximus and his family. Maximus escapes the execution attempt and race to his house, where he finds both his wife and child were hanged to death.
Durai: The politcal leaders son kills his father and tries to kill Durai. Durai escapes but his wife and child were hanged to death.
Gladiator : Injured Maximus was found by a salve trader and he was sold to a gladiator training school.
Durai: Injured Durai was affected by selective amnesia and he forgets his past. He joins as waiter/supplier in a mess/catering company.
Galdiator: Maximus was taken Rome to fight in the Arena in front of the King (Marcus Arelius Son). When the King finds Maximus he tries to kill him. The Kings sister (Marcus daughter) helps Maximus. Maximus kills the king and he too dies. The power was transferred to the senate as expected by Marcus Arelius.
Durai : Villan (political party leader's son) finds Durai and tries to kill him. As expected Durai get back his memory. He comes to Chennai to find who killed his leader. Villan's sister(politcal party leader's daughter) helps Durai. Atlast Durai find the killer and takes his revenge. He then settle with the other heroine (Keerat) and hand over the party leadership to some one else.

Music was tooo poor. The Remix song (Raja Rajathi Rajan intha Raja) was toooo horrible. This movie should have been named as Galdiatior Ver 2.0.
