Just what you wanted - to kick off your weekend watching a poetry-spouting psychopath
with delusions of grandeur. Touted to be his magnum opus, Abhay runs on the pure
steam of Kamal Hasan's megalomaniacal tendencies. The posters get you all hopeful,
and at several points, the script indeed begins to look, sneakily enough, like
Hannibal,
Psycho, and even Cats; but then all your suspicions are put to rest when what
emerges is the usual mindless violence - which in Indian movies is like a security
blanket; you just can't do without it.
