He travels to China to find out that he has been sent there to help eradicate a deadly disease outbreak. The basic storyline goes like this: Bodhidharma, a Pallava prince, is sent to China on a mission by his guru. From a technical standpoint, Surya and Ravi K Chandran's work are the only highlights whatsoever whereas AR Murugadoss and Harris Jeyaraj are not felt anywhere throughout the movie. In between, the movie tries to be too many things and ends up being completely irrelevant, illogical and not even remotely sensible (Science and history have been handled rather immaturely). It delivers that message in the first 20 minutes and last 2 minutes of the movie. A well intentioned message that needs to be said but there in lies 7am arivu's failure. The movie tries to point out how we have lost touch with our roots, rather how we have been distracted by invading forces from the west to lose confidence in ourselves. Yet 7am arivu falls flat in executing the greatest ever strategy. You have an experienced and exciting team to back it. You have a great storyline, rooted in facts and history and a deeply significant message. We went to see the movie despite the mixed reviews and ended up with a feeling of half-full. What a great film 7 am arivu could have been.
