This is definitely a new concept for featuring two different lives under the same name. The Tamil version of David casts two main leads meanwhile the Hindi version captures three main leads. Unfortunately, since this script is more highlighted for Hindi audience, Vikram who cast in both version, has his path in Tamil in out of place dubbing version. As his story were dubbed in Tamil, it has made Vikram's side of the story less enjoyable. Besides that, the director has missed out a timeline in Vikram side of story. There will be a part where Vikram's friend will sing 'Cute Pondatti' song from Osthi to his girlfriend. Well, Vikram side of story has been set in the year of 2010 and Osthi songs were only composed in 2011. Bejoy Nambiar narrates the two story perfectly without composing confusions for the viewer.

CINEMATOGRAPHY
R RATHNAVELU and P S VINOD are in charge of the camera. R Rathnavelu who has work in mega blockbuster movies such as Vaaranam Aayiram and Enthiran definitely needs no more introduction for his capability meanwhile P S Vinod has worked in several Hindi, Tamil n Telugu projects who also has been roped for Ajith-Vishnuvarthan untitled project. R Rathnavelu been roped to cinematograph Vikram's portion meanwhile P S Vinod been in charge of Jiiva's portion. Both of the camerawork totally undisputed. They have delivered the story through their camera perfectly. Since Vikram's story acquires a beach side environment, his portion were beautifully captured. While P S Vinod strongly captures the enthusiasm in Jiiva's role.

MUSIC
David has sign in six music directors to composed their own song which seems a new effort been charge of by director Bejoy Nambiar. Bejoy Nambiar himself earlier has composed two songs but he did not find it suitable and would rather concentrates in his directing. Therefore he has bring in six talented music director to accompany him in his venture. Each songs has been favorites but Anirudh's Kanave Kanave is a trend-setting even before the movie is out. A remarkable music by the young music director which has hiked up the expectation for the film. Unfortunately the song has been trimmed and been used as a background song and again being played during the credits. This definitely blows away the expectation and interest for the viewers who look forward to this song.
Music Rating : 3 / 5
DAVID - A new idea, brilliant concept. Two different stories brilliantly narrated by director Bejoy Nambiar without confusing the viewers. Vikram and Jiiva leads their role remarkably.
