Reactions to Surya's latest film Aaru are mixed. Fans who are used to seeing Surya in a decent or serious roles are appalled by the dialogue Surya mouths in Aaru. Playing the hatchet man to a dada, Surya speaks the slang that Chennai dadas speak. It's typical formula film with blood and gore but Surya has carried his role off with aplomb.

In fact, it is the dialogue that brings a distinct character to that role. For people who have seen the film with a open mindset, it has been an amusing film, the language reminding them of creative elements even in a gutter dialect. The collections at the box-office has been reasonably good and it will be wrong to write this off as a flop. Never mind Surya!
