Synopsis
Vishnu Vardhan's much awaited flick 'Billa 2007' is a remake of the Rajinikanth-Sripriya starrer 'Billa'
from the eighties. The latest version is packed with more style, effects and contemporary modifications in
the theme. It casts Ajith, Nayantara and Namitha in the lead.
Billa (Ajith) heads a narcotic gang that smuggles and ships drugs keeping Malaysia as their forwarding
point. His gang has Narang (Santhanam) and Anitha (Namitha). The DCP (Prakash Raj) sets a trap to pin down
the whole gang that is increasingly threatening the Intelligence and Anti-Narcotic Department. Roma
(Nayantara), is a lady-in-distress, orphaned by one of Billa's killing sprees. She too joins the gang, but
inwardly, she keeps making plans to take revenge on the gangster.
During a fruitful chase, another DSP (Prabhu) tracks down Billa and takes him into his custody. But to the
cop's disappointment, Billa's underlings scattered during the encounter and escape. In an attempt to put a
stop to the tug-of-war, the DSP decides not to reveal the capture. Working on an alternative plan, he
stumbles upon Jeeva (Ajith), a look-alike of Billa. Unexpectedly, the don dies. The DSP transforms Jeeva
into Billa, educating him about the looks, mannerisms and ways perfectly resembling the original, then
plants him in the gang. Soon the DSP gets killed in a blast. And now the cops are at the back of Jeeva.
This is how the story goes.
Special effects play a predominant role in 'Billa 2007'. William Ang, who choreographed stunts for Jackie
Chan movies, has worked on some exclusive pieces for the movie. Besides, the movie has brought together
the best of talents in the industry. The music is scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Nirav Shah handles the
camera. Script, screenplay, dialogues and direction are by Vishnu Vardhan. |  |
