 Sura, the 50th film of Vijay is surely a disaster in his 19 years old career. The story is as old as hills and the sequences are stale and repeated. Vadivelu is the only plus point in this two and half hour horrible experience. Another important point is, S P Rajkumar, who always made some B grade films, wasted an excellent opportunity to establish himself as a front line entertainment filmmaker.
The story goes like this... Sura is a good-hearted young man in a Fishery Village called Yaazh Nagar (Yaazh is the name of Srilankan city Jaffna!). He does good things to the villagers. He fights for the rights of the villagers. Every one loves his mischievous, humour-sensed activities. Simply, he is the 'Chella Pillai' of the village!
He wishes to marry a girl only after solving all the problems of fishermen in the village. One day Tamanna try to kill herself near the village's seaside, due to loss of her pet dog! As usual, Vijay comes to her rescue and instead of jumping into the sea, in the very next scene, Tammu jumps to his heart and goes for a duet in some beautiful locations.
In the mean time, Dev Gil, a local minister tries to vacate the village and occupy the entire land. Knowing this Vijay starts his fight with him. At a stage, Minister plans to destroy Vijay. How Vijay escapes from the plot and save the people and join with Tamanna is the predictable, boring climax!
Nothing special to mention in Vijay's action, stunts and even his comical scenes irritate a lot. The only change from his earlier flicks is...his bubbly face! As usual, he delivers half a dozen meaningless punch dialogues, in the climax some peppy dance numbers with Tamanna.
Vijay’s punch dialogues directly and indirectly convey his ambitions to enter politics. For Tamanna, it is one more film in heracting career... Thats all!
Vadivelu tries to save the film until the interval. However, the post interval sequences (Except the one with Vennira Aadai Moorthy track) totally kill the interest of the viewers. Manisharma gives the Tamil coating for all his 5 songs, which took place earlier in some Telugu films like Billa!
S P Rajkumar totally failed to cover even some of the die-hard Vijay fans with his unimpressive narration, expected twists and amateur direction.
Sura - May be Golden (jubilee) in number, but fails to earn the same for its quality!

The 600 prints of Sura have been sold out for 34 crores. During the climax, Vijay himself has jumped from one boat to another at a 40ft distance. During the shots at the slum area, Vijay had taken Fish Kuzhambu three times a day.
Tamannah had the habit of forgetting her dialogues during the shots. This was all because she was acting with Vijay for the first time. But our hero was kind enough to go for as many takes without getting irritated.
Villain Devgil was seen in 'Magdeera' Telugu movie. His performance in that movie grabbed him the Sura opportunity.
