I saw this movie with little high expectations thinking that its Director Ameer won't disappoint me and I should say that I got more than what I bargained for. Though the movie was very villager theme and had no real city values attached to it, I liked it. I personally did not like the rude story, rogue hero or heartless heroine. But when you consider that the amount of effort that the director has put in to each of the scene and each and every character of the movie then you cannot do anything but bow your head to this breathtaking director.
Ameer is supposed to be assitant to another great Director Bala and I personally feel he has become touch better than Bala in this movie। People talk of selva ragavan as next Mani Ratnam, I think now they should think Ameer as next Mani Ratnam. The reason is not that his direction is great but rather unique. His parallel clips (showing two different shots in same clip) show he is not afraid experimenting. Riducling fan clubs (rasigar mandram) of famous and top actors shows he is not afraid of anyone. His audacity to pick newcomers and make them act in his movie shows that he wants himself to play the hero and his story and movie to be the selling point and doesn't want to rest on hero's laurels.
Talking about the hero of the movie Karthi, he has done wonderful job. Infact Superstar Rajinikanth was surprised to hear it was his first movie and his brother Surya said that in his first movie he did no acting and this performance from his brother was impeccable. The scene where Karthi impresses the most is when he shows love for heroine. He looks so natural and his wit (nakkal) scenes with his uncle is very comical and hilarious. Heroine of the movie has proved that when given a proper character the heroines can also influence the movies. She was so good and true to her character that it seemed as if she living the character and not acting. Same goes for other actors too. The credit for that should go to the Director Ameer to bring out so much from newcomers is remarkable achievement. This is where Ameer impresses me the most and promises a lot for Tamil Cinema.
Coming back to the movie it is a must go for all village people and the city dwellers might not quite like movie and would certainly hate the climax. This means movie might be hit but will not have huge collections. It is a every critique's hit movie but am not sure how good will it be in box office. The comedy scenes are great with subtle dialogues from hero and his uncle is wonderful to watch. For first time atleast for me I saw a tamil heroine in a tamil movie having equal character as her counterpart. She was simply breathtaking with her dialogue delivery and performance. The comedian deserves a special mention for his simple yet wonderful scenes in the movie. I would love to see Ameer take a city subject with bigger moolahs and that would probably set the ball rolling for making Ameer the next Mani Ratnam.
