Vettaikaran -Review

First of all what is mass? jus saying few punch lines, a couple of air borne fights ??? 'Mass' performance is something that keeps you entertained for most parts of length of the movie and you[general audience] are impressed by the sheer screen presence of the actor.Rajni is an exempla.But today's so called commercial or mass actors is doing the former.Thalapathy Vijay who started of well in this line is rapidly falling behind.

Now lets come to the review.I had gone with Zero expectations and came out not disappointed but disgusted.The story kicks of with Ravi aka 'police' Ravi(vijay) arriving in Chennai from his hometown with high hopes of becoming a police officer .But soon he develops a dispute with a dada in chennai.Then it is bang-bang between Vijay n the dada ,Dada kills Vijay's friend,Vijay hits back with killing dada's son , meanwhile love happens between Vijay n anoushka. How Vijay eliminates the baddies is the story(Phew! this happens to be a template in commercial movies nowadays).

Postives:

I am not a vijay hater , but i am sorry to say that there is simply nothing positive in this movie.Almost every scene is rehash from earlier Vijay movies which we have seen many times.


Negatives :
technically the movie is far from average.As usual the villain is introduced by the camera focussing the villain's feet ,then his sumo's tyre and then the door closing with a bang and finally the villain' s face!!!!! This is the formula to introduce a villain in almost every Present commercial movie.And there are two types of villains in Cinema nowadays : 1) a tall fella with 'virumandi' mush or beard with long hair,"aeiii -aeiii" type of villain, 2)one with dhoti,with vibuthi or santhanam pottu in his forehead who talks less.Unlike the hero a villain can have only one punch line "Nee yaaru kitte pesitirukke theriyumala", then challenge the hero in first half and get kicked in the climax.well, you can find both of these in Vettaikaran and whose job is to follow the instructions as above.Vijay has tried his level his best to do comedy stuff but hardly tickles your funny bone.Now to Anoushka, will u believe if i say that Anoushka has given a decent performance(come on, after all she is just another heroine in Vijay movie whose job is to romance and dance with vijay and join him in the climax!!!!).Music may be a treat for vijay fans.The movie is heavily inspired from thirupaatchi,dhool,pokiri,sivaji,etc

The list goes on........



BottomLine: there are only 2 ways that vj fans gonna take this movie:
1)be disappinted as it turns out to be yet another dud from vijay
2)be contented with what the film is as they have got used to his crappy movies

the movie might do well in box office thanks to SUN PICS, but it is hightime that Vijay comes out of the shell and does entertaining films if not different

BY targetting only his fans vijay is considerably shrinking his fan base


STARS : 0/5
( i have been generous , for previous flick 'Villu' i had given -3)
