Celebrities heap laurels on 180

Director Mani Ratnam, who watched 180, said, 'it is a wholesome film. Entertaining for the first part and emotional later. The visuals and music are brilliant and the performances are very good. Both heroines have done a good job and Siddharth is extremely good in the last part. The climax is fantastic.'

Actor Vijay said, 'Siddharth has always played the role of a lover boy perfectly. In this film, he has once again proven his command over this genre but has also combined it with the maturity required to play such a sophisticated character. This is a movie that I’m sure will be enjoyed by all age groups.'

Madarassapatinam fame Vijay said, 'Congratulations to Jayendra on the film, casting, performance, RR and photography. It’s all fantastic.'.

On her part, Suhasini Maniratnam, said, 'It is a very young film from a mature film maker. It is a welcome change to see educated well spoken and qualified people as protagonist as against the thieves, Hench
men , hookers and way wards whom we have been seeing as heroes in our Tamil films. Music is outstanding and cinematography is world class. Both heroines s peak their own lines which is a miracle in south Indian cinema. Wonderful to see Siddharth playing a character and not being a hero. Jayendra is a winner in his first film itself.'
