In a
nutshell, the plot is about the extraordinary steps taken by an NRI whose vote
had already been cast by another person!
With all the
commercial ingredients that usually form part of such mass entertainers falling
in perfect place the director has spared no effort to lift up the image of the
hero to further heights! From Vijay’s side, he has made his future plans
clear-that he wants to enter public life & champion the cause of those who
are denied & deprived of even their basic rights, especially the right to
vote! The 1st half looks very good reflecting the amount of research
the director has put in & his eye for even the minute details but the 2nd
half strictly follows the commercial format leading to a dramatic climax!
Vijay’s looks have undergone a sea of change here & he fits the bill like a
T! As usual, he fights dances & romances to his heart’s content while the
proceedings follow a formulaic content! Yogi Babu’s cameo doesn’t create a big
flutter! Keerthy Suresh’s characterisation looks shallow like her performance
that lacks depth! So does Thulasi’s role as a mom who points an accusing finger
at her daughter Varalaxmi Sarathkumar (who enters the fray later in the day to
not much of an impact!) which looks a bit contrived!
A.R.Rahman’s
score just passes muster while the dialogue of Jeyamohan carries a lot of fizz!
Girish Gangadharan’s cinematography deserves mention.
Vijay who
holds a lucrative position abroad in a global conglomerate returns to his
motherland to cast his vote that has been already cast by someone else! He
takes up the issue legally & the Court grants him permission to vote yet
again! Many others follow suit & the ruling party’s plans of action are
disturbed! They rub him on the wrong side & he decides to contest the
elections! He mobilizes candidates all of whom are socially conscious citizens
& they all contest & win as independent candidates! The climax reveals
what Vijay’s plans are!
The
execution of the screenplay could have been more effective which would have
made the film more effective in an overall manner!
