Suriya's Bodhidharma look and history behind this Tamil prince who is being workshiped in many Shaolin temples is already a talk of the town. Moreover 7 Aum Arivu will also mark the Tamil debut of Shruti Haasan, daughter of veteran Kamal Haasan. Apart from all these, the film also brings back the super hit trio, Suriya-Murugadoss-Harris, after the blockbuster Ghajini. Considering all these facts, its no wonder that the film has received tremendous pre booking response; infact almost all the theatres are fully booked for the next five days.
What is it about?
7 Aum Arivu is the story of Bodhidharma (Suriya), a young prince from Kancheepuram who traveled to China and preached martial arts which led to the creation of Shaolinquan.
It's about a young Genetic Engineering research student Subha Srinivasan (Shruti Haasan) who comes with a sensitive research topic which leads to many troubles.
Then there is Aravind (Suriya), a talented circus artist who falls in love with Subha.
And finally we have Dong Lee (Johny Tri Nguyen) a loyal Chinese servant and an expert in martial arts. He is on a secret mission to India.
THE PLOT
The film begins with Bodhidharma's story; being an expert in martial arts and medicine, he travels to China on his mother's order, leaving his wife (Abhinaya) and two children. In China, he saves a whole village from a dreadful disease and in turn the people rechristen him as Damo. Being an expert in Kalari and Nooku Marmam he also fights for the village against the enemies.
Note: Bodhidharma is an important personality in Buddhist history. Even today, his statutes are worshiped in many Shaolin temples across the globe. According to Chinese history, he was the first person to begin the physical training of Shaolin monks that led to the creation of Shaolinquan.
Fast Forward to present era; Aravind, a talent Tamil circus artist is the main lead at 'Great Bombay Circus'. He hails from Kancheepuram and obviously falls in love (at first sight) with a young research student, Subha who is very ambitious on her studies. She has high plans on doing a detailed research on DNA and heredity, a first-of-its-kind in the world.
On the other hand a loyal Chinese army servant Dong Lee, an expert in martial arts and Nooku Marmam, who comes to India on a secretive mission which is called as 'Operation Red'. A series of events reveal that Dong Lee is on a mission to kill Subha. So why should he kill Subha? How is Bodhidharma connected to all these? What will Aravind do to save Subha? Will Dong Lee succeed in his mission? To know answers to all these questions, rush to the nearest theatre to watch 7 Aum Arivu!
