Arai en 305l Kadavul

My Review:Arai en 305l Kadavul

To start with we should congratulate Shankar and Simbudevan for choosing an off-beat subject once again.

Plot: What if  "Kadavul" comes to Chennai to help two unemployed youth but ends up loosing all his powers to them.

The blood and soul of the movie is Prakashraj [as he usually is to any of his movies]who plays Kadavul to conviction. What an actor.

Same cannot be said of Shanthanam and; Kanja Karuppu. Better they stick to comedy roles rather than trying to do emotional roles.

Jyothirmayee has more scope to emote than Madhumitha but both have done their job competently.

Another strength of the movie is the support cast. Rajesh, Ilavarasu, M.S.Baskar , Sampathraj - all have done an excellent job.

Vidhyasagar has come out with pleasant songs .Music on the whole is good.

The real hero of the show is Simbudevan-the dialog writer. Movie is replete with some wonderfully & thoughtfully written lines. Special mention to the dialogs between Prakashraj and parents of Santhanam and Kanja karuppu as well the exchanges between Rajesh , who plays an atheist and prakashraj , the Kadavul.

But the culprit of the show is Simbudevan-the script writer who has messed up it all,failing to keep us interested . Thus he has robbed the director and dialog writer a good chance. Movie has numerous instances of a beautifully written thought provoking scenes followed by an utterly childish scene.

I really wonder what grudge directors have on IT field and IT professionals. Here simbu takes a dig at 'Infosys' & fast rising life styles of IT professionals.

In the box-office it will take a miracle to salvage it going by the FDFS audience response .
