Vijay Sethupathi, who is released from prison, goes to Malaysia to live a new life. He stays at Yogi Babu’s house, and through him Divya Pillai gets a job at a restaurant. At that time, he becomes friends with Rukmani Vasanth, who is in the area, which eventually turns into love.
Meanwhile, Rukmani needs money. So, he gambles at the place where he went to borrow money, and Vijay Sethupathi becomes a debtor of one crore rupees. In a situation where he will die if he does not repay the loan within a week, Vijay Sethupathi plans to rob a bank. Did his plan succeed? What kind of problems does he get into and how does he recover from them? ‘Ace’ is an attempt to tell the story in a commercial and mass way.
Vijay Sethupathi, as usual, has handled the character of Bolt Kannan with his natural acting to make the audience enjoy him. In addition, he is young and stylish, and he is also amazing in action and mass scenes.
Rukmani Vasanth, who plays the heroine, is amazing in both beauty and acting.
Yogi Babu’s comedy scenes guarantee laughter. Yogi Babu appears throughout the film, and although some of the scenes are a bit silly, most of the scenes have the audience laughing out loud.
Divya Pillai, Bablu Prithviraj, P.S. Avinash, and Rajkumar, who play the villains, have been suitable choices for the characters.
Cinematographer Karan P. Rawat has searched for and displayed Malaysian locations that have not been shown in films before. He has shot the scenes colorfully and commercially.
All the songs are sweet in Justin Prabhakar’s music. Sam.CS’s background music has traveled according to the scenes.
Although the film moves fast in the beginning with Fanny Oliver’s editing, the entire second half drags. The length of the scenes could have been reduced.
Arumugakumar, who has written and directed, has made a film for Vijay Sethupathi’s call sheet, not a film for him.
Although we have seen many bank robbery stories, this film does not stand out from them in any way. In an era full of technology, Vijay Sethupathi robbing a bank as a thali is like putting a banana flower in his ear. In particular, director Arumugam has stretched the film to a very long length, testing the audience by showing something to move the story forward, such as the money that falls in the lottery after robbing the bank and the problems that arise from it.
