Review : Kumar (The 70 mm Team)
Suseenthiran, who has a achieved stardom with his earlier flicks joins with Chiyaan Vikram for the first time. They duo has tried to deliver commercial cinema with a different vision.Deeksha Seth makes her debut with Rajapattai.Suseenthiran has tried to give commercial treatment to Seenu Vasan's story about land grabbing and its impacts.
Story
Vikram enacts the role of Anal Murugan,who is side kick and a wannabe villain. Viswanath dons the role of Dakshinamurthy, he runs a home for orphanage in the memory of his late wife .A gang of baddies try to get hold of Daksinamurthy where Anal Murugan shows his masculine strength and becomes savior for the old man. Later, Daksinamurthy narrates the situation which keeps him on the run that unveils the evil plan of his son, who hopes to fulfill his politcal ambition by selling orphanage home to political giant Mayakka.Kaavalan fame Mithra Kurian fits the role of the corrupted politician as Akka who tries to grab lands from people. Akka has shades that reminds us of the undisputed villain Soorna Akka (Dhool) . The tussle between Anal Murugan and Mayaakka forms the crux of second half and leads to usual the climax of Good winning over the Evil.
Performances
The story provided ample scope for Vikram to perform action sequences.Yes, he scores them and it seems like a cake for a versatile actor like Vikram . Viswanath evokes laughter with his love guru sort of advices,he makes use of his experience which brings the roof down with the laughter.Thambi Ramaiah shares the screen space only for few minutes but he has done the justice for his role .The leading lady Deeksha Seth fails to showcase her performance, She has a long way to go. Though the leading lady disappoints, Mithra Kurian has excelled in her performance and her evil looks does bring fear among audience.
Technicalities
The first to be mentioned on the list must be Stunt Choreographer Anal Arasu , his action choreography is mind blowing and leaves audience stunned. Madhie's cinematography has accompanied Anal Arasu's stunts that becomes a visual treat for everyone. Editor Kasi Viswanath has done a clean job with right cuts .
Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs usually has soul to the tunes but Rajapattai is not under that list . Podi paiyan and Villathi Villain are exceptionally good.The Background sounds pretty ordinary same as the songs . Suseenthiran who has a variety of blockbusters under in his carrier from his debut movie Vennilla Kabadi Kuzhu to his earlier flick Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai has failed to cater the mass audience with the ingredients,the song placements is awful and the screenplay drags in the second half and falls sharply before the climax.
Wow Factors
- Versatile act by Vikram
- Anal Arasu's Stunt
- Viswanath's timing comedy
Oops Factors
- Suseenthiran's screenplay failed miserably
- Seenu Vasan's story lacks the power
- Yuvan Shankar Raja's Songs are ordinary
Bottomline
Vikram , Viswanath,Mithra Kurian and Anal Arasu win people's heart while the rest of the cast and crew disappoints.
