My Thoughts
Thaana Serndha
Koottam is Vignesh Shivn’s second directorial venture after the much
loved and appreciated Naanum Rowdy Thaan.
Apart from this, there are multiple other reasons why there were lots of expectations
and hype around the film:
·
The full-of-life sodakku
mela song
·
Interesting trailer which was sprinkled with clap-worthy dialogs
·
Suriya’s different avatar (read not as the angry and mostly shouting
Duraisingam from the Singam brand
wagon)
·
Senthil’s re-entry into the movies after a long break
·
Star value – Remya Krishnan and Karthik among many others
·
Storyline inspired by the Akshay Kumar starrer Hindi movie named Special
26 which was also much appreciated. In fact, Special 26 was inspired by the
1987 Opera House heist in Mumbai.
And the list just goes on…
However, what makes Thaana
Serndha Koottam a blockbuster is the way in which the director has narrated
the story and how he has reached out to the audiences with the simple/funny yet
impactful as well as relevant dialogs. The characters’ graph and the back
stories, ROFL moments as well as dialogs that evokes claps, crisp editing,
picture perfect cinematography, brilliant and energetic background music further
add to the all-round entertainer.
It was a delight to watch Suriya onscreen as Iniyan. As the name means, he was sweet and brilliant. He owns the
screen inch by inch and carries the weight of the film without a tinge of
hesitation. Remya Krishnan as the double faced angry-young woman named Azhagu Meena aka Jansi Rani was extraordinary.
It was also a pleasure to watch veteran actors like Karthik and Senthil. Suresh
Menon as the greedy officer Uttaman was
apt. However, since his dubbing was done by director Gautham Vasudev Menon, it
was impossible to reminisce the villains of kakka
Kakka, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu and so on.
The movie would have been worth 5/5 rating if the following two clichés
were avoided:
·
The hero is the only physically fit man in the gang. All others
are comedians or weak. I mean didn’t Thani
Oruvan have a strong battalion? Isn’t that possible? Or do the heroes still
fear that the supporting actors could overshadow them? Or should the screenplay
writer should be blamed?
·
Is it mandatory that the hero (who is in a mission) has to fall in
love within few minutes from the start of the movie? Should the heroin be used
only for songs and some random out of context scenes?
But, these are minor hiccups which could be overlooked. After all, Thaana Serndha Koottam is a mass
entertainer.
So, this festive season, take your family along and go for Thaana Serndha Koottam.
Because it is a feel good film with a social relevant storyline
which also offers tons of rib tickling moments.
Rating
4/5
