Mayakkam Enna - First half wonder

மயக்கம் என்ன  - Ever since I heard the song 'காதல் என் காதல்' (which I hated first and liked it eventually) I wanted to see this movie. Then came the trailer which had very beautiful cinematography and some shots were so breathtaking in them. So I decided that I will see this in theater as soon as it releases. So here I am , after the movie, sitting @ home , waiting for my lunch to come (didn't feel like cooking...Selvaraghavan's movie's tend to have that effect on you.. they are bit heavy weight) wanting to pen down what I felt about this movie.

You would have already known what I thought of this movie from the title. Yes. The first half was simply amazing. What should I say. It had so much of energy, spirit, adrenaline , one-liners, fun, humor...what not..and the electrifying chemistry between Dhanush and Richa... I never really thought that Dhanush will grow up to this level in his career. Man, he is awesome with some expressions. Especially when he wants to feel the love for the girl but doesnt want to because of his friend... He is too too good. He uses the body language very well in many places. And since this is Selvaraghavan's movie, you get to see scenes where there is less talk and more expressions. I love that. In certain situation, words create so much noise, isnt ? Richa... one hell of a performance from her for her first movie in Tamil. Why does she remind me of Sonia Agarwal so much, be it her eyes or her expressions ? Whatever, she was very good and thanks Richa for the proper lip sync. Kudos to the dubbing artist who did justice to her voice.

The Second part is very dragging in many places. I am so tempted to tell you the happenings in the second part. After one point, I felt that the story became unrealistic. Well it is a fiction, so they can have unrealistic twists to it , but for the movie that was in first half, it was sort of  (what to say here)...it didnt fit well.. that is it. Songs, thankfully, werent a speed breaker (may be except voda voda ..but that was cute..) And Dhanush - your long hairdo did not suit you at all.. Please dont try that again. There are loop holes in the movie, no doubt.. but you do not think of those when you watch them. But during second half , the screenplay gives you enough time to think about it...

Coming to cinematography,.....this guy has to get an award....to see some scenes in theater...God...it was so heavenly.. Some photo shots were so so so nice. When will I take such photos!!! may be never..coz I dont aspire to be a professional photographer.. its my hobby and I know only very little of it. But whatever it is , those wildlife shots were so damn beautiful. kannula thottu oththikanum poala irundhadhu...

Background score .. was very nice.. particularly in scenes where there were only emotions or no words..GV did a good job..

I would forgive Selvaraghavan just because he did a great job in the first half. I think that itself is worth my money and this is definitely another feather in Dhanush's cap and a good launch vehicle for Richa..

Note: you get to see the trailer of '3' and 'Nanban'. '3' took me by surprise...Dhanush..ennaiya nadakudhu...kalakara poa.. chance illa.. the lead pair..looked very cute together... sukiran unnaku uchchathula irukaan poala.. Nanban didnt impress me that much..
