Gang is the Telugu version of heist film Thaanaa Serndha Koottam which is an official remake of Akshay Kumar's hit Bollywood film Special 26. Gnanavel Raja, who bought the remake rights of the Hindi film, has produced it under his banner Studio Green. It has awarded U/A certificate. The runtime is 2.18 hour.

Gang movie story: The story is inspired by a real-life incident in 1987 when a group posing as CBI officers raided a jewellery showroom in Mumbai and got away with Rs 35 lakh. Suriya has played the gang leader of con-men rob, which was essayed by Akshay Kumar in the original movie.

Analysis: Vignesh Shivan perfectly adapted Special 26 with a few changes to suit the sensibilities of South audience. The director enhanced the entertainment quotient of the movie and made it even more immersive and thrilling than the original version, say the audiences.

Performances: Suriya has delivered a wonderful performance, which is the highlight of Gang. Keerthy Suresh has done justice to her role and her chemistry with the hero is good. Karthik, Ramya Krishnan, Kalaiyarasan, Nandha, RJ Balaji, Senthil and Thambi Ramaiah have done also good jobs, say the viewers.

Technical: Gang has decent production values and Anirudh Ravichander's music, Dinesh Krishnan's cinematography, punch dialogues and art direction are attractions on the technical front, say the filmgoers.

#gang not a complete remake..just a adaption from the original. Perfect Screenplay, Suriya Anna, ramyakrishna,music, runtime People who have seen the original will not enjoy the suspense element Overall a blockbuster start for @Suriya_offl anna and @VigneshShivN

SocialSaint‏ @isocialsaint

A movie you can go with your #Gang and enjoy the festival season. It's a mixture of class and mass elements, while the visuals appear to be classy in Trivikram style, Suriya's getup and his acts are completely massy. UV Creations' festival sentiment going to work yet again

aHf‏ @adhyayam

Suriya excells in this lame adaptation of #Special26. Scenes lifted from original are poorly executed. Though changes made to original are effective to some extent, they doesn't blend well with the story. Those who haven't watched the original can try it for Suriya. #Gang

MEGA FAN‏ @megaloyalfans

2nd Half kuda arachakame Overall BLOCKBUSTER Movie Congrats @Suriya_offl anna n @VigneshShivN Sir #Gang #ThaanaaSerndhaKoottam
