However, Tamil film audiences - most of whom were unlikely to have seen the Hindi movie Don or the English movie Godfather, which inspired this genre of films in India - lapped up Billa and it went on to become a super hit.

What distinguishes Billa from Don is the pitiful and downright crude performances by most of the actors - with Sripriya and Thengaai Srinivasan being particularly egregious. Unlike Amitabh Bachchan in Don, Rajnikanth threw in a so-so performance in dual roles as the bad guy and the good guy.

All the earlier versions of Billa proved to be successful with Amitabh starrer Don and Sharukh starrer Don-the chase begins becoming superhits. Rajinikanth starrer Billa(1980) proved to be a lucky charm for Rajini and upgraded him to a Super star status. But in cinema two plus two does not necessarily make four, but ‘Thala’ Ajith has gone ahead and proves that two plus two is indeed four.

The dance scenes that accompany most of the songs in Billa are absolutely hilarious. It''s safe to say that both Sripriya and Rajnikanth in Billa have no concept of the dance form. Sripriya as the heroine is sheer agony to watch and endure. Far worse is to see her doing some of the most bizarre stunt scenes we''ve ever had the misfortune to watch on the big screen.

Billa (Ajith) is the leader of an underworld gang. A police officer is tracking down Billa and in one of their confrontation the police officer wounds Billa, resulting in his death of the Don. The officer then remembers a person who looks like Billa and then tracks that person down. The police officer requests Velu, the look-alike to pretend to be Billa so that the police officer can take down the rest of Billa’s gang, Velu requests that the police officer promises him that he will give a proper education to the children that he is looking after. But in an unexpected turn of events the police officer dies. How Velu goes on and proves that he is not Billa forms the rest of the story. On the other track we have Sasha (Nayantara), who wants to kill Billa to avenge her brother’s death. Then you have Jagdhish, the super boss of the gang (Raguman), and CJ (Namitha), the girl friend of Billa, to add shades to the crime thriller.

Sripriya plays the role of Radha, who joins Billa''s gang to avenge her brother Rajesh''s death at the hands of Billa.
