There is a line in the movie "naan thunai illa nizhalaatam..." (I am like a lonely shadow...), that is how the main protagonist in the movie is. Somehow he is always mistaken and he ends up being alone and sometime lonely too. With very down to earth dialogues and slow and steady approach, it does enthrall you in a different way. It doesn't have any comedy track, doesn't have more than 3 songs (I wonder why the first song was there..but it was a good one), doesn't have any big stunts.. but still I felt something after seeing it, in a positive way though. When the hero says "oru dharava mental hospitalla irundhutu vandhaa ulagam eppadi paakumnu theriyumaa.. .. ... eppoda ivan kal edhuthu erivaane paapaanga".. I felt really very bad, because that is how the world works. If a person has done something wrong to someone and the mistake is well known, he is inevitably seen as a bad person by all, irrespective of the nature of the mistake or the gravity of it or the impact it has on others. This movie has its own set of twits and turns and how the knot gets untangled (or is this the right word?) is well scripted. It is a good movie and :) in the end a politically correct one too :) How so many issues (right from saving the face of a dept to a jealous co student's actions to not stirring up a interstate issue due to a foul play by a set of people) play a role in someone's life for no mistake of his, is very well portrayed and directed. There are quite a few very very good one-liners.
Arulnidhi has done his job very well, except that he could have a laughed / even smiled a bit in the single romantic song. He is sort of stiff even in that, except for one or two shots. I wonder why I didnt hear the Anamika song in the movie. The songs were not a speed breaker and adding one more romantic song would have been a spoilsport, but still I prefer seeing that song in the movie just for the sake of its lyrics and singer Karthik.
After a very prominent part in Vaagai sooda vaa, Iniya's role is not a great one here. But the movie is hero oriented so its ok. She does her part well enough.
It is definitely a very good effort (Kudos to the director and team) to see such a dramatic action movie, which ends well and at the end he becomes the real mouna guru (he is the guru of the people who are always silent aka deaf and dumb)

Managed to catch this movie yesterday,brilliant.Actually the key to the movie is the director definitely.. but what distinguishes this movie from the rest is that each and every supporting actor (the warden,principal,the cops,the crime investigator) are just sublime in their performance.It's probably the best thriller along with Yudham Sei in the recent past.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but even Muran was good in a way after Yudham Sei - KG
