Featured review
Good movie in Kollywood in recent times.
This is a movie about Sokkan a loyal friend of Karuna who brought Sokkan into his family and Sokkan would do anything for Karuna. After Karuna gets his hands dirty, Sokkan is pushed to decide whether to stay loyal or to stand by justice.
This movie states that there are only three reasons for every problem, Land, Woman, and Gold (Greed). But when the story covers the woman's portion of the problem, it is not the woman to blame. It happens due to their religious beliefs and discrimination against other religions.
The story is well written even though it is cliched. As the screenplay was engaging, didn't deviate mostly but there was drag after intermission. Every character was well developed in how they evolved as the movie progresses further. The protagonist Sokkan has a good arc where questions himself if he should be loyal or just at a certain point in the movie. Some serious scenes were let down by the following comedy scenes. It feels unwanted as it has the seriousness still in the following comedy scene. The interval was satisfiable and definitely created expectations for the second half of the movie. The climax was well-set but felt like it was written conveniently to end the movie. Mostly I didn't notice any potholes or logical mistakes in the movie, they justified every aspect and action of the characters convincingly.
The actors did their part well but Unni Mukundan was not convincing in is character. The cinematography was good, especially in the climax, the composition, and color tone of the shots, were great. The fight and stunt sequences were great too as tried to be realistic as possible for a movie. Last but not least, Yuvan Shankar Raja did a great Background score for every emotion in the movie. Some songs were good with the flow of the movie but some didn't work for me.
When this movie was announced, Director Vetrimaaran was credited for the story. But I don't know why they didn't give credit to him for the story in the movie.
This movie proves that even with a cliched story still, you can make a good, engaging, and intense movie. I really like this movie and I definitely recommend it to watch (with your family).
