Starting off
from the previous film, ‘Vellaiyilla Pattadhari’ ended this sequel showcases a
fresh tale but against the same backdrop and characters as well, the crux of
which revolves around the clash between a self made, self-styled, powerful
business tycoon who runs the biggest construction company in the South and an
engineer who would never ever compromise on principles and ethics even when it
means losing business!
After Rajiv
Menon’s ‘Minsara Kanavu’, Kajol makes an appearance in a Tamil film again
through this venture and her character has been sketched and presented very
meticulously, giving much prominence most of the time! It would only be fair to
say that she has done a neat job right through, standing out as an embodiment
of arrogance and authoritativeness! Her costume styling too deserves special
mention, due credit need to the given to the director as well as the costume
designer! Even towards the climax when she almost loses to the protagonist, the
director has ensured that Kajol’s character is not brought down in humiliation!
The closing scene may lack the much needed fizz that usually such sequences
showcase but given the fact that Kajol is playing that character, it has been
mounted in such a manner that her dignity and pride are not at loss and both
the clashing titans acknowledge each other’s capability and capacity and that’s
exactly where the proceedings are made to draw o a close! In the customary
cinematic parlance, it is a happy ending, out and out but certainly lacks in
logic at places!
It is mostly
a Dhanush film all the way excepting those few sequences where Kajol carries
the scenes on her shoulders and the Nation award winning actor has come up
triumphs in his portrayal as an engineer with a lot of dreams but also as a
person who is a stickler to business ethics and discipline! Of course, there
are too many scenes that project him as a character that is larger than life,
maybe with a view to please his fan base! He looks vibrant and has put up a
vibrant show.
The
characters from the previous film, Amala Paul, Samudrakani, Vivekh etc find
space in this sequel but it just happens to be an exercise in fill up the
blanks with a view to complete a comprehensive family portrait!
Even the
antics of Vivekh fail to generate the much needed impact!
Dhanush’s
ability as a dialogue writer faces yet another face lift here! Sample this-A
mother’s upbringing of her son is reflected through the manner he treats his
wife! Yet another-Without enemies in life, it becomes an exercise in boredom;
enemies come and go and it is a part of the process of growing up! You can
steal away my business and clients; but you cannot steal the happiness with
which I lead my life-one more to taste! Kudos to Dhanush!
Dhanush is
Raghuvaran an engineer by profession who holds the precedence of having
utilized the services of hundreds of other unemployed engineers successfully on
a construction projects gets noticed by Vasundra (Kajol), a bigwig in the
construction industry who tries to lure him to her side but in vain. The clash
starts right then as Raghu is not for it! She tries her best to reduce him to a
pulp professionally and emotionally. How he weathers all the tough storms and
hold on to his fortress is the rest narrated in an entertaining manner!
SameerThahir’s
cinematography is noteworthy. Sean Roldan’s tunes pass muster but it is the
signature tune of Anirudh Ravichander that stands out tall!
An engaging
commercial potboiler that entertains you most of the time!
