The long wait is finally over as Vikram Kumar`s fantasy thriller 24` with the triple power of Suriya`s performances has hit the screens to a tremendous response from audiences and critics all over the globe. Though there are many reasons this entertainer is a must watch with family here we give ten you ten major highlights.

1) Suriya brilliantly underplays the timid scientist Sethuraman. He is all energy and color as the youngster Mani, who adores his mother and uses every trick on Samantha to make her fall head over heels in love with him.

2) A.R.Rahman's songs are pleasing to listen and a treat to watch. The trendy 'Kalam En Kadhaliyo' number follows a different concept and shot in sets. Suriya's dancing skills comes to the fore in this song. 'Mei Nigaro' song follows a different and interesting romantic episode in the film. It is an absolute eye candy to watch 'Naan un Azhaginiley' shot in exotic foreign locations. The Oscar Nayagan's pulsating re-recording strengthens the intensity of the scenes involving time concept and Athreya's dreaded mannerisms.
