Though
Vishal has been in the industry for close to a decade now, this is the first time
I went to the screens to watch his movie. I know that Vishal isn’t a great
actor but he has quite some potential (Avan Ivan). This movie didn’t bring it out,
rather it stuck with the oldest storyline known to Tamil Cinema.
Hero comes
to a new city; falls in love in heroine at first sight; fate makes them get
along; villain vows to marry her; hero protects her and during a action
sequence he comes up with a flashback and u can easily fill in the rest.
While the
movie defies logic the action sequences defy gravity. Looks like Henry Cavill
(Man of Steel) has some serious competition. If the Indian directors could add
some logical sense into the action movies, then we can beat Hollywood in no time.
But that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
Santhanam
was the only major relief to an otherwise somber movie. This wasn’t his best
performance, but he comes up with very few double meaning one liners, making it
enjoyable by all classes. In certain cases he demands more sympathy than humor.
The
debutante (Aishwarya Arjun) has very limited scope for acting which wasn’t
surprising. The songs were not only speed breakers but also irritants as none
of them pleased my ear drums. Even Gana Bala’s number could not do the trick.
If you go in
expecting anything other than Santhanam’s humor, then you are bound to hate
this movie.
My rating:
5/10
