Ayan : my-view
It was loooooooong looooooooong ago, so looooooooong ago since I made a post here so thought why not with another my-view of a movie. Also it just happened couple of days back to read my very own post about RDB [avlo vettiya irundhu irukaen.. ;o)], and thought that paravaala namma kooda yedho yeludhurom nu, sorry kirukurom will be apt. Sari, let me stop boasting about my earlier crap and get into my yet another crap.
Well, indha time namma paaka poradhu A'y'an. Wondering y the y is within quotes? kettu thaan sollanum, title la appdi thaan highlight panni podraanunga. I had no expectation as the promos were'nt not so impressive [alteast to me] and it looked like a typical masala movie. And definitely it is a masala but served interestingly with right amount of spice n flavour. The movie moves on without any lag because of its impressive n interesting screenplay. The director, KV Anand has sure done a bit of research about the thiruttu VCD stuffs, burma bazaar, smuggling et al. I was able to relate to these sequences, yaen na burma bazaar pakkam thaan namma voodu. The director looks to be fond of chemistry, no! no! am not talking about the onscreen chemistry between Surya n Tamanna [well, it demands a special mention too]. Ungala solli kuthamilla, chemistry-nra subject-a school pasangalae marandhu pora alavuku these reality shows have made us think that way. Here, I am referring to the Director's fondness for the real chemistry. Director cleverly uses his chemical knowledge ;~) to build up a scene in which Cocaine is smuggled as sculpted pillaiyar, which are odourless. This scene wasn't a surprise to me as I had anticipated such interesting scenes from the Director's earlier venture, Kanaa Kandaen in which the director made use of the property of White Phosphorous [FYI White Phosphorous catches fire at room temperature] cleverly in his screenplay to make it interesting. Another hi-point which I noted in the screenplay is that there were numerous scenes with a short flashback or rather I would say a recap revealing how things were cracked in the earlier scene. So indha maadri pala samaacharangal comes in as a surprise and makes the movie unpredictable.
The movie moves on a steady pace or atleast without a lag not jus cos of the screenplay alone but because of the stunning stunt sequences and also cinematography. The stunt and chase sequences are composed and executed elegantly. But one cannot deny that the sequence in Africa does remind us of the opening sequence of the 007 flick, Quantum of Solace. Camera work is very good throughout the movie and the stunt sequences would not have been highlighted minus the commendable work by the cinematographer.
Ennada Surya n Tamanna pathi onnume sollala indha paiyyan nu dudettes n dudes koopaadu podradhu kekudhu. Actors pathi perusaa solla onnumilla as the movie doesnt demand a great performance but as I had mentioned earlier in my post their onscreen chemistry deserves a special mention. They look comfortable with each other and give out a cool performance. Prabhu, Renuka [TV series fame], Karunas and Jagan [kadavul paadhi mirugam paadhi fame], who evokes humour n pathos when required gives a good performance. Hey, hold on Villain-a pathi sollaama vittutaene. Adheppdi thaan namma aalunga thedi pudikiraangalo indha maadri villainsa. Ghajini villain ku aprom ivaru thaan andha yedatha pudichirukaaru. Idhuku mela solradhuku onnumilla.
Harris Jayaraj's songs are as usual hummable but gives a Deja Vu feeling also as always. He does a fairly good job with the background score.
So kadaisiya enna solraen na, Ayan-a dhaaralama oru dhabaa paakalam.
