Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Aayirathil_Oruvan. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.

Removed a racist review from wikipedia for implying dark skinned people as zombies. The Review looks like it was written by unqualified racist personnel and has no credit to be cited as a valid source. The link can be considered offensive by tamilans.

With Aayirathil Oruvan, Selvaraghavan has inadvertently opened the Pandora box of a new genre as yet unknown to Tamil movies – Zombies. It is the case of Pirates of the Carribean meets Dawn of the Death where the ancient Cholas, albeit with whatsoever no connection to the real Cholas as the disclaimer maintains, are reduced to dark-as-charcoal skinned tribesmen living in an unknown island in Vietnam, who are ready to gorge at raw flesh at the mere sight of it since they are starved.

So the dark-skinned subjects largely set the tone of the movie and the darkness remains dominant throughout. There is blood and gore, but of a different kind: not the one that makes you squirm, but something that makes you gawk at.

Andrea's dad and archeologist Prathap Pothen vanishes into thin air in his attempt to unravel the mystery. In comes the archeologist-cum-gun-wielding-designer-sunglasses-sporting ultra modern chick Reema, employed by the Indian government to trace Pothen. Andrea, his daughter, obviously joins in and they employ Karthi and a gang of burly men as helps. Karthi looks as if he's stepped out of his Paruthiveeran sets to join Reema and Andrea in their quest.

Their expedition unfurls nasty surprises after surprises - body-painted weirdos with strange weapons, quicksand, snakes. Lest we forget, there is also a cat fight between Reema and Andrea on the topic 'Karthi'. They finally reach the zombie land where Parthiban is the ruler whose raw-flesh-eating subjects take them into custody. Reema reveals her real self and exposes the self-centric purpose of her quest.

 * The referened part of the review talks only about the weaknesss of the script and criticizes the lead actors for their performance. Behindwoods is a notable review source for Tamil movies and since the referenced part does not include any racist comments, it cannot be removed. IMHO as per WP:NPOV even if it included a racist comment it has a space.Please discuss more on this at article talk page.The caution given to you was for removing references  Srikanth (Logic)  07:59, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
