YENNAI ARINTHAAL - My Take...
First of all, I was not expecting an all-in-all action packed story with mass quotient. I have always maintained that I LOVE Ajith than 'Thala'. YA did give me that feel to a certain extent.
Really can't put this movie in any genre as it is a mix of action, romance and sentiment. Overall, YA has it's 'WOW' moments here and there. Nothing new story wise but the screenplay is applaud able and has made up for it..
'Thala' Ajith
- A run off the mill character and Ajith does it with ease. The role demands no extra effort, so no complain over Ajith's acting. He did what the role demands.
- Hated his hair-cut through out the movie excluding the pre-climax on-wards (with check shirt). Best look in the whole movie.
- Having said all these, his sheer screen presence has swallowed whatever negative aspects we see in him (salt & pepper look, weight, short hair-cut).
- Good to see GVM has written the story keeping Ajith as a character in it instead of a story for Ajith. As expected awesome dialogue delivery especially those English dialouges.
- No others in the present generation could speak half of how Ajith delivers English dialouges (perhaps, Madhavan can).
kOttukku Intha Pakkam (Negatives)
- A gang of honest cops helping protagonist in hunting the villain
kOttukku Antha Pakkam (Positives)- Typical GVM style of story telling:
- A gang of honest cops helping protagonist in hunting the villain
- Dialogues, very filmy and written in typical GVM style
- Intense scenes (read: lot's of talking, which may not go well with C centre)
- Background Score, very noisy at most of the places. HJ should really consider outsourcing BGM in future
- Neat narration. Intense scenes that build crux of the story.
- Arun Vijay, will be remembered for his power-packed performance just like Jeevan (in Kaakka Kaakka) and Baalaji (in VV). His mannerisms as antagonist are awesome, he will go places after this.
- Trisha, as beatiful as ever. Anoushka, cute and bubbly. Both did their parts well. Vivek needs special mention, no unwarranted comedies, just nice and apt.
- Awesome DOP, looks like Dan MacArthur has used natural lighting at most of the places and the way he captured each scene add values to the story narration
- Protagonist's characterization. The character is made to make mistakes just like anybody else, unlike typical Thamil movies where heroes are always right and make the correct moves all the time against villains
As for me, this is what I think. I am not sure if I should like this flick or not.
kOttukku intham pakkamum illai, antha pakkamum illai. Let me be neutral as of now. Perhaps, I may need more watches which will happen in coming days.
Best Moment - The Transformation...
Yennai Arinthaal will do well and it has all the potential to draw more family crowd in coming days, ladies especially. GVM has pinned down the story for all type of audiences and for all section of people. Definitely not for typical Thalafans who expect 'gethu' scenes a lot but for those Ajithfans who would want to see a different shade of Ajith, YA is for you.
In short\, Yennai Arinthaal is where class meets mass... GO FOR IT...
Praying for the success __/\__
