It was surprisingly a very decent movie and yet again Danush seemed to show that he could handle heavy roles,requiring a seasoned actor-like image,with simple schoolboyish looks and not so hyped up antics!It was a very good performance from both Danush and Priya Mani.Balu Mahendra had brought the best out of them and as expected of him,had provided a documentary type setting and a slow pace to the movie!Delhi Ganesh acted very casually and effectively portrayed the role of a responsible father.
This was a movie,which most of my friends couldn't keep up with the pace and started abusing me for sitting through it till the end!I had been listening to the songs since a long time and hence seemed to appreciate them better in the movie!Ilayaraja's 'Kaatuvazhi Kaalnadayaa poara thambi' was just awesome,bringing me memories of similar songs - Elam Kaatru Veeesudhu from Pithaamagan and 'Thenpaandi cheemayilae' from Naayagan!'Andha Naal nyaabgam' sung by Shreya Ghosal was also a memorable number from the movie!
One of the songs,although blending with the story,seemed to have been unnecessarily thrust into the movie just to take care of the front benchers looking forward to any kind of sleazy act!The absense of a separate comedy track was very well compensated by the funny scenes involving the hero's friends' curiosity in knowing about their friend's affair!One thing which was very hard to believe was the body build of Danush which seemed to show a highly impoverished and diseased guy!It made us all onder again and again -'Is this guy the son-in-law of Rajnikanth!!!???'
Nothing else seems to stand out from this movie.Apart from the typical tamil filmic ending,which was hard to believe,everything else looked normal in the movie.It is indeed worth a watch,especially for people like me who like watching believable real life happenings in a movie than the typical masala flick with 50 yr olds romancing 20 year olds and doing unbelievable stunts!
