Consistency
is an asset. And if you want
to choose a consistent actor
amongst the prodigious pack
of the Kollywood heroes, Vijay
is sure the best pick amidst
the younger slew of the heroes.
Be it with regard to blockbusters
or bombers, Vijay has never
made it complete without a hat-trick
streak. That is, consistency.
Now what makes him click amongst
the audience?? Certainly, his
boy next-door image! Thankfully,
he is blessed with a good rhythm
sense that eases out of his
legs to do the rest of the work
for the peppy pieces. It is
usually said that those who
dance well aren’t all
that proficient in singing.
He has excelled himself in that
particular fact. Chartbusters
are aplenty through his voice.
Right from his first movie,
he has been trying to develop
humor as one of his fortes.
Though initially it never paid
off, there are a lot of people
now out there to understand
and laugh out for his humor
on-screen. Be it with regard
to his fiery eyes or his super-man
stunts, he has always been making
good attempts to improvise his
stunts and display some entertaining
action sequences to the audience.
Having the tag of an action
hero, he has made reasonable
attempts to show some variety
here and there with regard to
his choice of movies. Followed
by a chain of movies that contain
nothing but kicks, punches and
punned dialogues; there has
always been a Vaseegara or Sachin
to ease out the tone of his
movies and further his appeal
in a pervasive way. Above all,
he has been giving utmost importance
to the C centers that has made
certain people who are down
there at the slums to feel that
he is their household property.
But… there are still various
avenues upon which Vijay should
work upon to become a complete
hero. Mark my

word…
HERO. An actor is always different from
a hero. A hero is illogical and provides
wholesome entertainment and nothing else.
And being a hero isn’t a crime at
all. But Vijay hasn’t developed all
the aesthetics in the best way that concerns
a hero. One amongst the prime aesthetics
is an aggressive dialogue delivery. He is
just able to give us a tight lipped one.
All that we are able to see on-screen is
his teeth and not his tongue. Occasionally
it spoils the season of his songs as well.
One another drawback is his elliptic face.
He can never show much of variances with
his face from one movie to another. Lack
of variation heaps up because of this in
his movies. “Too much of something
is too bad”. His punch dialogues are
the best examples of this. He is yet to
understand that he has just crossed the
embryonic stage and at this stage, too much
of such dialogues fatigues even his hardcore
fanatics. He is resistant to getting himself
associated with dexterous directors. He
doesn’t understand that such directors
can provide a sizzling script that could
just ascend his image and not abort it.
He must have a composed screenplay. He overplays
by performing larger than life stunts that
make people burst out laughing rather than
bring down the house for this matinee idol.
Off late, certain scenes in his movies take
the shape of vulgarity and obscenity, The
Villu scene, for instance where Nayanthara
rescues Vadivelu along with him from the
well. All these drawbacks maybe an advantage
for his appeal over the C centers, but…
there are a lot left to be explored other
than the C centers that he should do by
making good use of his opportunities and
strengthening his talent purse. It is just
that he is vehement in his way of attaining
victory. Some flexibility for his own good
would surely make Vijay scale the greatest
heights in Kollywood.
All the best Thalabathy! Expecting a cracker
of a movie from Vettaikaaran
