Vijay
Anthony who tried out a dual role in his earlier outing, ‘Annadurai’ has moved
on to the level trying out multiple characters this time in this action packed
film the title of which has been borrowed from the Rajnikanth’s film of 1980!
As the three roles that he dons are all rural based, the main character that
gets transformed into the other ones as the narration unfolds is primarily
projected as a person settled in the U.S. who takes a trip to his motherland to
get into the roots of a specific yet bizarre dream that he experiences once too
very often! Like his foster dad who is a doctor there, he too is a medical
practitioner on whose name (Bharath), a multi-speciality hospital functions!
How he moves forward in his mission to track the roots of his real parents (by
now he is aware of the fact that his present parents had adopted him!) as the
screenplay moves forward is the unexpected rest leading to the lifting of the
curtains and the truth being revealed!
Bharath
loses no time to track the identity of his mother who had died while saving him
as a child from the horns of a raging bull! He learns that his mother’s name
was Parvathy & Kaali, his own! But the same cannot be said regarding his
efforts to trace his father who is believed to have deserted her!
Kiruthiga
Udhayanidhi who debuted as a filmmaker through ‘Vanakkam Chennai’ (2013) that
had Jai & Priya Anand in the lead roles scores well as far as the screenplay
is concerned! Each time a ‘suspect’ surfaces qualifying for scrutiny (of being
his biological dad!) while Bharath & his friend, Gopi (Yogi Babu) are on
the rounds with that ‘objective’ on hand, Bharath turns into that person and
there are three such occasions and three persons in question! A bit confusing
to begin with but the audience get used to that with start of the 2nd
episode!
Anjali plays
a village quack whose ‘practice’ takes a hit the moment lands up and opens up a
medical centre! But as the narration unfolds, that character named Punithavalli
vanishes as the other episodes open up!
In the 1st
episode the duo come across Periyasamy (Madhusudhanan) a village biggie, the 1st
suspect who unfolds his flashback that takes the viewers to a college narrating
the tale of a Romeo & Juliet (Vijay Anthony & Amritha), both of whom
die at the end of this episode thereby clearing off Periyasamy!
The next
‘candidate’ is Maari (Nasser), a thief who is confronted by a young housewife,
Parvathi, (Shilpa Manjunath, a sizzling debut!)), suffering at the hands of her
aged husband (Vela Ramamurthy), a marriage out of compulsion!
Bharath
becomes Maari who develops a relationship with Parvathi but she gets killed
accidently while saving him! This one too ruled out, the next one comes in!
John
(Jayaprakash), a clergy man does a lot to that neighbourhood which is split by
caste differences! At the time of his arrival there, a delicate moment had forced
him to make advances to Poomayilu (Sunaina), a village belle who had
coordinated with him while serving a pregnant woman! Unassumingly, these portions
tend to take a slant towards a particular religion!
Having
accomplished his mission, Bharath decides it best to leave things as it is and
let his biological father continue his services as the Father of a Church!
Vijay
Anthony looks good in the action scenes too. His music is soothing &
satisfactory and as his characteristic feature, he presents a theme tune too!
Richard
M.Nathan’s cinematography deserves mention.
