With some
foot tapping music by D. Imman, this 25th
outing of Amma Creations, the banner that has churned out memorable films as
‘Saroja’, Aravaan’ etc, is an enjoyable romcom scripted and directed by a
debutante, Odam Ilavarasu.
The film’s
screenplay has been set around the romantic misadventures of a youth when four
young girls cross his path, at times, simultaneously! Soori plays the principal
comedian of the piece and with a new makeover steals the show at most places.
It is only correct to say that he is on a climbing spree as far as his career
graph is concerned!
Atharvaa who
has so far been donning roles with intensity has taken up a character that is
lighthearted and has gone about enacting it in a very casual manner. His
mannerisms are good and the manner in which he goes about dealing with each of
the four girls is certainly enviable! The film is a pleasant departure for him
with regard to the kind of characters that he has been donning so far and he can
be happy that he did this film!
Soori is a
perfect choice for that parallel character in the film that has equal space and
scope and the actor has put the opportunity to best use!
Of the four
girls, Regina Cassandra heads the list with her effortless performance and
comfortably and conveniently pulls the rug under each of the other two, minus
one, that is Aiswarya Rajesh who is of a different class and caliber. Her essay
of the character is quite different and she does it all in her own inimitable
style! Pranitha is adequate but newcomer Aaditi is found wanting! Maybe a
couple of more appearances in a couple of more films would prepare her to
perform better!
Naan Kadavul
Rajendran as Soori’s uncle is effective as the cab owner and creates an impact
time and again! Mayilsamy is in his usual elements in his brief appearance.
The initial
portions when Atharvaa narrates his love escapades with the girls one after the
other is very enjoyable and interesting without making the audience to flinch
their faces as there is no vulgarity involved!
Vairabalan,
the art director has done a neat job; the same could be said of Sree Saravanan,
the cinematographer. The song and dance sequences appear colorful with the lead
artistes sizzling in some chic costumes!
The twist in
the tale is the fact that the film’s protagonist unfolds his love episodes one
after the other in a disciplined fashion that the audience could only manage a
grin on their faces but not a note of displeasure or indifference!
T. Siva who
has made cameo appearances in a couple
of films has taken up a full-fledged character in his-that of the hero’s father
with the son and dad not in talking terms but always ready to pull each other’s
legs!
The
lighthearted script and its commendable execution by the first time filmmaker,
Odam Ilavarasu is thoroughly enjoyable for most part!
The youth of
the times is certain to lap up this flick with both the hands as it stands out
as a thoroughly enjoyable comedy fare!
