This is totally, a Karthi Movie. Romance, fight, comedy, family sentiments - என்ன பண்ணல ...... Storywise, what you see in the trailer is nothing related to what the movie is... Dont even assume anything.
Starting with songs, I didnt feel the need for the first song (வா வா நிலவ) and the song when his father is murdered. But I guess you need atleast three songs in a movie to get it going. My fav one was always இறகை போலே ... Lyrics is awesome for that song :) .. என்னமா பீல் பண்ணி எழுதுறாங்க பா ..
Every character is nicely etched. Dialogues are a great plus...be it in a comedy scene or a serious scene (when they meet each other's parents), or when he goes to meet the dada... It is 75% romance + comedy and 25% action (கொஞ்சமா இருந்தாலும் நச்சுன்னு இருக்கு ). Kajal has nothing much or rather nothing new to do..but what she does , she does it very cutely. Their chemistry is too cute :) (some scenes are so fresh.. nalla thaan yosikaraanga...) Karthi's dad's character is very nice.. All would want a dad like him :) ரொம்ப நல்ல அப்பா
Karthi has a natural penchant for comedy... that too with the guy (who does the parota scene in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu)... their pair was very funny. Particularly the "essusme sir... coming from icbi bank...". 'Paiya' nalla varuvaan..
In the trailers you never get to see the villains. அந்த பசங்கள எங்க பா பிடிச்சாங்க .. particularly the சுருட்ட முடி paiyan and the முட்ட கண்ணன் .. நல்ல மிரட்றாங்க .. My favorite scene was the climax (I guess this would be the same with everyone).. I was like " கார்த்தி .. இப்போ நீ அவனுங்கள அடிக்கரியா இல்ல நான் அடிக்கவா ". It was so intense and the rerecording was very good. The climax is the only place where Karthi gets to do some stunts and he does with style. I liked his body language when he fights the kid in the railway track.. sema confidence paa..And the kids ... what can I say.. they should have a special mention.. they behaved like experienced actors. முக்கியமா அந்த முட்ட கண்ணன் .. பிடிச்சு நாலு சாத்து சாத்தனும் போல இருந்தது ..nice acting.
Camera is good.. Screenplay is very racy.. All in all it is a good movie.. It doesnt make you feel bored anywhere.... The places where these two story lines (a happy go lucky middle class good for nothing karthi's life and the troubled unrepentant teenagers lives) collide and mess with each other was told very well... Especially the scene where Karthi and his friends are going a bike and they are about to hit these villain guys in another bike and the camera just takes a U turn and follows them.. I was very impressed.
Just dont take your kids.. not because it is too gory or anything (Trust me, you dont see blood anywhere in the movie...everything is left to your imagination...but they made sure that you cannot imagine anything subtle ;) ) ..just that they need not be exposed to this kind of violence so early... But definitely a must watch movie.. CatchIt.
