Analysis: Director Suseendran made a successful debut in Tamil cinema with Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu, which was later remade in Telugu as Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu.But this time he dealt with romantic action movie mixed with middle calss family emotions
First half of the film races along at a brisk pace with lots of good comedy. Karthi is the source for all the fun in the first half. However, the movie takes an unexpected turn in the second hour and slowly turns out to be a crime thriller. There is so much edge of the seat stuff in the second hour despite few slow patches here and there.
The protagonist character too takes a huge turn towards the finale. Last twenty minutes in the film has a high dose of action. It is difficult for anybody to handle such script which runs along various genres and shifts from one to another at a rapid pace. Director handled the film very well until the penultimate scenes. However, the conclusion leaves you wondering with a ‘how could that happen?’ face!
Director should have ended the film with hero seeking the revenge. Adding that one last scene is absolutely unnecessary. Also the antagonists that are supposed to be teenagers looked like they were in their mid twenties. Choosing an apt star cast who perfectly resembles the age might have left more impact on the audience.
But kids should be kept away from this movie because their minds may spoil due to some scenes in the usage of drugs etc.,
Performances ::
Karthi is extraordinary as Shiva. Indeed he has shown two different shades in his character.His action shows some comedy in first half and he showed terific action at the climax which is simply superb. His brother Suriya who is a terrific actor needs to work out to look perfect for each role but Karthi is gifted with a flexible body with which he could easily switch genres.
Kajal Agarwal is cute. She has very little to do in this film. She is hardly seen in the second half. Two among five villains will leave an impact. Jayaprakash, Raviprakash, Soori and others did well within their limitations.
Villans are extraordinary. They proved that its not necessary for the negative roles to have big personalities and muscles. They just made us horrible feel with their thin bodies. The credit should be given to the director for his picturization.
Final Word ::: Good movie with weak climax.
