Story:
Walter (Vishal) and Dandalu Saami (Arya) are thieves and also stepbrothers. They are so much attached to Highness (GM Kumar) who has no one to take care of except Walter and Saami. Highness is like the protector of that village. He lives life like a king. One day Highness confronts with a wrongdoer (RK), who comes to seek revenge. What happens next forms the climax of this film.
Analysis:
Bala who never tried his hand at comedy tried to make a comedy entertainer with some typical characters that are seen in rural Tamilnadu. The take off of the movie and the introduction of characters is good. The flow seems smooth until a point and suddenly we start feeling that this film is heading nowhere. The director never raises a conflict even at the interval point.
We feel that Bala is trying to make a time pass entertainer where the conflict will only be raised in the second half of the film. But even in the second half the story never moves from the starting point. Only towards the end there enters a negative character any person with head on shoulders would predict what happens next.
Performances:
Vishal steals the show with his wonderful performance. He has put in so much pain and efforts to play this character. His performance in the scene where he shows navarasas stands as a strong example for his talent. Arya was not given much importance. He did his part well. Janani Iyer is cute and Madhu Shalini doesn’t have much scope. GM Kumar’s performance is natural. Ambika and Prabha lived up to their characters. Rest of the star cast is fine with their job.
Tehnicalities:
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music is good. Although there aren’t any songs that can be remembered, his background score is brilliant. Aurthur A Wilson’s cinematography is topnotch. Suresh Urs editing is okay.
Bala penned the story and screenplay and he has utterly failed in this department. Although the director in him came to rescue the film at times, the writing has let the film down. Bala’s mark can be seen in few scenes but it will disappoint his fans on a whole due to soulless and pointless script.
Verdict
One of the best action dramas that released in the recent times. Endearing performances and sensible tale. Don't miss it.
