Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
sribornagain-394-460163 Many times hand cooked dinner made of ready-made recipe with minimal effort would taste better than carefully made exotic feast. Lingusamy has just managed to do the former with his latest offering "Vettai". With minimal fuss & ready-made formula , he has given a engaging & fast- paced movie which is enjoyable.Instead of breaking his head in searching for inspirations from European or Asian movies, he has made a script based on Bhagyaraj's successful movie if the yore "Avasara police 100". Taking the basic premise from that movie he has woven over it a racy script with flashes of intelligence here & there. He has managed to keep the viewer engaged for the whole length of the movie leaving no scope to complain.Aarya has nothing much to do as far as acting is concerned , all he has to do is flex his muscles in numerous action sequences & shake his legs in the dance sequences. Madhavan has more scope to perform as a gullible elder brother who becomes a police inspector & who gets name and fame due to the actions of his younger brother. However it is rather shocking to see this once charming chocolate boy hero who has become so flabby that it looks quite uncomfortable when he tries to dance or perform action sequences.Both the heroines don't have much in terms of screen space. Amala Paul is cutie pie while Sameera Reddy is chilly Bajji.Ashutosh Rana comes in a routine villain character ably aided by "Thalaivasal " Vijay's dubbing. Nasser's is a confusing character , what is the relevance of his character to the main story & his mannerisms leaves a lot to be desired.Yuvan Shankar Raja's Music is below average , only "Papparapa" song managed to get the attention of the viewers.Nirav Shah does a okay job. Wonder what happened to the once talented cinematographer.Brinda Sarathy's dialogs are sharp & witty , able to bring out a comical vein throughout the narration.Lingusamy is back to his best on the lines of "Run" & "Sandakozhi" after slip-ups in his previous couple of movies.On the whole, "Vettai" is a racy masala entertainer without much logic or novelty.Bottomline : Tasty
rockmack1991 A another Masala movie. The film beginning was good;but the middle half of the film is too awful. Ordinary acting by the veteran Actors Arya and Madhavan, but the story and the dialogues seems much ordinary. There is no any support by the main two actress to the leading role, and at the same time Director was unable to suck the best from the Actors. Arya and Madhavan collaboration is a high and a very worth full one. But they doesn't suite for a script like this. Film released with lots of expectations but again, Linguswamy proved that he is good for just Masala kind movies. The music seems very awful and at the mean time Yuvan Shankar Raja proving again and again that he got couple of jingles to credit a film. At all a very ordinary movie for the Masala film lovers, but with a big collaboration.
vazhavandan Vettai film is all about two brothers Madhavan as Thirumurthy and Arya as Gurumurthy.Like Jekyll and Hyde and two sides of a coin Guru and Thiru have diametrically opposite personalities. Thiru happens to be dull headed and is a bit of scaredy cat,whereas Guru is a Ruf & Tuf and smart.The movie is about how the brothers fare in their life after the death of their father who happens to be a police officer . There is also a running gag that both of them being sons of a policemen have policemen's blood running in them.Pluses of the movie ==>Madhavan and Arya's screen presence is amazing. ==>As usual Lingusamy has paced the movie well. ==>Sameera Reddy looked natural even though she is not a local. Amala paul played the role of eye candy to perfection. ==>The script writers / dialogue writers have done a commendable job to keep the audiences interested even though the movie's story lacked substance. ==>The baddie sports a smart clean shaven look and performed well, and is a promising talent. ==>Did not feature any fart jokes unlike nanbanMinuses of the movie ==>The songs were terrible.The less said about the lyrics the better.This has been a typical trend in recent tamil movie.Only movie that came close to breaking this unsavoury streak was vaagai Sooda Vaa ==>Typical Kollywood,run of the mill movie. ==>This is the gazillionth film to portray an American fiancée as a dufus and complete moron.StoryThe movie starts with the Madhavan flying a kite along with other boys when another boy intentionally cuts his line When Madhavan confronts the aggressor he gets beaten and shooed away. Madhavan high-tails from the spot . He returns to the spot with his younger brother Arya who picks up a fight with the aggressor.The protagonist's father happens to catch Arya with another boy rolling in the sand and he takes both home and flogs Arya . Though Arya remains unperturbed , Madhavan weeps and feels guilty that he is the reason why Arya got flogged by their father.This scene sets the premise to rest of the film.Arya's father dies when the boys reach the age of twenty something and Madhavan gets coaxed by Arya to join the police force . Whenever Madhavan gets into a tight situation with the baddies he calls up Arya and he takes care of them.This drama continues for sometime and Madhavan gains a reputation of being a no nonsense ,bad ass but kicking police officer.Unfortunately the bad guys find out the truth about Madhavan that he is actually a sheep in wolves clothing.The rowdie elements waste no time and make short work of Madhavan.When Madhavan starts recovering from the serious injuries ,Arya reveals the real reason as to why he made Madhavan join the force. He wanted Madhavan to stop being a scaredy cat and stand up to the challenges he faces in the life . He further goes on to say that he cannot continue giving a long rope to Madhavan and asks him shed his fears and become a responsible police officer.The rest of the movie is about how Madhavan KO's the bad guys.End of storyConclusion Watch the film if you want to have a few laughs or you happen to be a Madhavan (or) Arya's fan. You can also watch the movie if you want to catch a glimpse of Amala Paul who offers plenty of fan service and seems to determined to change her demure image from Myna.
Hari V I got to watch this movie in the fdfs. Went with no expectations whatsoever. But i was not disappointed. What i thought would be a regular mindless masala movie, turned out to be pretty good in the end.The movie starts with the introduction of both the heroes and heroines with a song for each. unusually we can see Arya, the younger one, standing up and saving the elder one Madhavan. Madhavan gets his dad's police job and takes it up with too much hesitation after Arya's encouragement. As the movie starts, Madhavan literally shivers in his police uniform in the harbor city of Thutukudi which is filled with gangs of rowdys. When Madhavan is given a duty, the fighting part was done by Arya and the pride and the villain's wrath goes to Madhavan. In between these stuff the heroes meet and fall in love with the heroines.When the villains come to know about this double game played by the brothers, they bash up Madhavan. Madhavan, after a series of operations and encouragement from Arya, rejoins the police force with a rejuvenated energy. What happens here after forms the rest of the story.If first half shows Madhavan's cowardice and second half his developed bravery, Arya's fearlessness stands out. Sameera and Amala Paul have done their "heroine" duties nicely and they are good to look on screen. Ashutosh Rana has given a neat performance in his first Tamil movie. Music is above average.On the whole, its an awesome entertainer and can be thoroughly enjoyed by one and all. :)
