    • Trivia
      In addition to the new opening credits score, original composer Deva had rescored & inserted additional music for some scenes (namely scenes with Rajnikanth heading to the auto stand & Janakaraj's comedy scene where he failed to entice Nagma as a passenger.)
    • Goofs
      One of the promises that Manikam makes to his dying father is to get a Medical College seat for his younger sister without letting anyone know about Manikam's secret identity. However Manikkam does reveal his secret identity to the college principal to scare him so that he gives a seat to Manikkam's sister. Hence when Manikkam says "Dad, I have fulfilled your dying wishes", it is not true.

    One of the best movie

    This movie was one of the best movie of my life as I have seen it many times and I never got bored. The people who are expecting MASS and COMMERCIAL movies then please don't waste time reading these reviews just go and watch it. The people who are expecting a typical gangster movie like THALAPATHI and NAYAKAN, I would not recommend this film. But for sure you will not get bored watching this film. This film is a gem of TAMIL cinema and a proper COMMERCIAL entertainer.
