Jeyam Kondan

My Review : Jeyam kondan

At the outset the debutant director Kannan seemed to have decided to pay tributes to "Agni Natchatram", "Illam", "Sanda Koli" and "Run" in making this movie . He has not even left the Washing powder add in which two kids fight with the slushy mud .

Plot : Hero accidentally provokes a Dada ,who makes it a mission to repay the hero of his losses come what may . Love and sibling rivalry forming the backdrop.

Vinay : Looks smart with his mush and beard . He does what is expected from him by the director.Must take care as far the lip sync to the dialogues are concerned .

Bhavana : Has nothing much to do , but whatever she does is impressive and she looks very beautiful . Has dubbed for the first time and her voice reminds us of Priyamani (Paruthuveran) and Kushboo (Vigneshwar).

Lekha : Has more scope to perform which she does adequately . Special mention to the scene in which she cries her heart out after the death of her mother .

Kishore : His role is extension of that he did in "Polladhavan". Does the routine Dada act .

Comedy : Santhanam score more over Vivek though both evoke some laughter. Vivek's character is very similar to what he did in "Parthiban Kanavu."

Music : Vidhyasagar leaves his stamp in two songs .As far as the BGM is concerned it is mixed bag .

Cinematography : Balasubramanyam's capture of the foreign locales and Madurai's rural areas are soothing to the eyes . He has stood by the director throughout.

R.Kannan: Story , Screenplay & Direction are by R.Kannan. The movie begins very interestingly with both the siblings playing one-upmanship game for selling the property of their father to fund their ambitions . But later after the entry of Dada into their lives the movie goes downhill . Screenplay goes haywire in the second half with the most biggest comedy of the movie reserved for the climax .

Movie is interesting in parts but on the whole it fails to impress

Bottomline : Jeyam Kondan Jeyam kolvadhu Kadinam .

3/5
