It is Dulquer and Vinayakan all the way. It is violence all through in the name of
revenges and avenges for the cause of protecting the naivety of the village
Kammatipaadam from the realtors and business goons.
Dulquer and every actor on screen portray 3 phases of
life. The first phase (15-20 years old boys) is a set of different actors
altogether. The second phase has a handsome and charming Dulquer. The third
phase is post 40s with streaks of grey. One needs courage to show up as 40 year
old during his prime time in his movie career. Very few (like Kamal) have that
guts. Hats off, Dulquer! He has done abundant justice to the role. His body
language is impeccable. Really loved the way he switches between a furious face
when hitting his opponent and immediately bringing a sporty smile after he
thrashes every time. In a ten minute fight sequence his expressions keep
changing from ferocity to a naughty smile! Enjoyable.
Vinayakan and Manikandan have lived their roles. Wait! Is
this Manikandan's debut? Wow,man! These are such perfect choices for the roles.
Vinayakan kalaki!
The movie was very slow and long drawn. 3 hours!!!! Had
they made it more racy it would have been more interesting.
I don't know how Mallu movie makers get this art of
making it all so natural. The village, the houses, the clothes that people
wear, the looks, the ambience.... It's as though you are transported and transfixed
transparently right in the centre of the movie watching as it unfolds! A
special kudos to that!
No big romance. Just one song! Thankfully. Else it would
add another 30 minutes to the already stretched story telling.
Overall, very slow. Very violent. Mixed
emotions!
