Aadhi, Poorna, Suresh, Prabhu
Direction:
Vijay Prakash

Sundar C Babu
Production:
Michael Rayappan of Global Infotainment
From
the production stable of Michael Rayappan,
who has produced Nadodigal, Goripalayam
and Themerku Paruvakatru, comes Aadu Puli.
Director Vijai Prakash has managed to
bring together a huge star cast comprising
of Aadhi, Poorna, Prabhu, Suresh, Ravichandran,
K.R.Vijaya, ‘Nizhalgal’ Ravi
and Yuvarani. The title refers to the
very popular rural sport which is known
for its fierce nature and so you understand
what to |

expect.
The movie is of the kind that has occurred and recurred
in Tamil Cinema- a complete masala film. But does
it manage to keep you engaged?
Idhayakanni
(Aadhi) is a carefree youth with a huge and happy
family consisting of his Father (Prabhu), Grandfather
(Ravichandran), Mother, Grandmother (K.R.Vijaya) and
a sister. He falls in love with Anjali (Poorna) and
yes, you guessed it right, her father is the villain
(Suresh). After that, it is the fight between the
protagonist and the antagonist and needless to say
who emerges victorious.
The film manages to mildly engage due to the difference
in the way the plot unravels. Aadhi looks good, acts,
fights and dances with considerable ease. He gets
the usual superhero introduction and a man with brain
and brawn with loads of love for his family but he
definitely requires good scripts to get noticed. Poorna
is adequate and she is lucky to have got a little
more importance and footage for her character when
compared to other masala flicks where heroines have
nothing to do but dance and look pretty. Prabhu, Ravichandran
and K.R.Vijaya do the needful but it is yesteryear
lover boy Suresh who takes the cake. As an ambitious
politician and a hypocrite who changes according to
the situation, Suresh underplays the villain role.
It is his characterization and acting that stands
as the only unique factor in this film.
The director lifts the mood by showcasing the happy
family having uninhibited fun and we get to see fully
grown men and women playing and riding on the wooden
toy horse (yes, everyone does) and an entire song
where they all keep twitching their shoulders to the
rhythm of the song.
Cinematography is usual and nothing to write home
about. Songs by Sundar C Babu is surprisingly plain
and loud. The back ground music does its job and it
passes muster. The director has made a bad move by
characterizing one of the villain’s thugs as
an unpleasant transgender and it seriously undermines
and degrades the community who are already trying
to win the mercy of the society.
On the whole, this film that is salvaged by Suresh
and Aadhi’s performance, might work for extremely
patient people who like clichéd masala flicks.
Verdict: Clichéd Masala.
