cannot
relate to. It will make you cry, laugh,
smile, get angry, blush. And when I watched
the movie I realized he was right.
To say the least, Tamil cinema has truly
arrived at the top level in terms of realistic
stories. This is a movie which seems to
be challenging Bollywood and even Hollywood
as I feel Tamil cinema is improving in terms
of content and style. Here comes a
Rajini style of movie, with the Good prevailing
over evil which is entertaining and gripping
and at the same time the movie has nothing
which is not possible like gravity defying
stunts or an unbelievable story/sequence.
The movie is slick, commercial and at the
same time carries a strong message for everyone
who is after money in wrong ways. From start
till finish, there is no deviation from
the story.
I would not like to divulge much about the
storyline but it is a very original story
which I hope is not copied from any Hollywood
movie. It deals with the journey of people
who indulge in so called adventures for
the sake of earning money and where fate
leads them. A decision which an individual
takes not only affects him but also those
who are dependant on him.
Deva is a young man who does not want to
work and hence embarks on a different platform
which promises thrills and luxuries. What
are the risks and problems awaiting him?
Where does the path lead him to? What are
the losses he incurs? Is he able to recover?
The movie is an answer to all these questions
and it is gripping and holds on your attention
throughout. What is highly appreciable is
that there are no loose ends in the story.
Suriya rocks the screen and continues from
where he left in VA. As the boy next door,
his pranks and his romance is lovable and
his acting is perfect in situations where
he is caught in a web. He is simply amazing.
We love you Suriya.
Tamanna is cute and though her role is short,
she performs and emotes well. Prabhu, Ponvannan
and Suriya's mother have shown their experience.
Jagan has got a great role and has done
full justice to it. Akashdeep as the villain
is menacing and you feel like kicking him.
Such is his role and also is involvement
in the character. All the characters are
well etched out and perform to their potential.
The songs are not a major hindrance here
(unlike in some movies where even a gripping
tale is robbed off its charm because of
songs) but are pleasant to the ears. The
cinematography and editing is top notch
and eye catching. BGM rocks and the stunts
are truly amazing. Though I would say that
the winner is K V Anand for directing such
a captivating blockbuster and also for bringing
together such a dream team.
Subha and Anand have done a great and fabulous
job to realize this wonderful screenplay.
All the technicians deserve a huge round
of applause. Hats off to AVM for producing
another clean entertainer! And finally critics
of SUN Pictures, who criticize them for
marketing masala movies, can finally get
to appreciate them for backing such a huge
quality product.
Having said all this Anand told that Suriya
has done comedy in this movie much like
the one he did in Pithamagan and I got to
see only glimpses of it. And hence I ended
up asking for more... Such is Suriya's capability
to steal hearts not only in romantic scenes
but also in comedy. Versatility and Charm-
thy name in TAMIL is Suriyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
