Uliyin Osai

My review : Uliyin Osai




After some lackluster movies in the recent past , the Grand Old Man of TC is back with an engrossing tale and razor sharp dialogues added with some soulful melodies of the Maestro .

PLOT : Chola king wants to complete his long cherished dream of constructing the Big temple at Tanjore adorned with sculptures of 108 abhinayas . He imports a world renowned sculptor for this .Whether he succeeds in fulfilling his dreams ?

ACTORS :
Vinith dances like a dream . He shows us how he has mastered Bharatham and its abinayas .Of the two heroines Akshaya has more screen space and scope to perform while Kirthi Chawla has very little to do. But the real surprise is both have done more than a decent job in Bharatanatyam. Manorama - Kovai Sarala - Kanja Karupu comedy track falls flat. Other cast include Sharathbabu , Thalaivasal vijay have done well.

Technically movie is shoddy .

Ilavenil's direction is amatuerish at certain places. But on the whole not a bad job.


The real attraction of this movie is 1- Karunanithi  2- Ilayaraja.

ILAYARAJA : His music is not aimed at DTS but DHS (deathless human soul) . All songs are good . Treat for classical music lovers . Can watch the movie just for his music.

KALIGNER : Take a bow to this man , who seems to have all the time in the world to do everything possible. Screenplay is lucid , flows merrily with some interesting twists and turns.

Coming to dialogues , he has shown age has nothing to do with talen. Be it punches like " PARAKA THERIYUM ENBATHARKAGA SURIYANUKUL PARAKOODADHU " or mischievous ones like "IRANDU KILIGALIL YAAR VENDUM" ... "IRANDUM KIDAITHAL SANTHOSAMEY" or thaughtful ones like "PROKALATHIL ADAIYUM VETRIGALAI SARITHRAM KOLAI PATTIYALIL SERTHUVIDUM.." . He is god of dialogues in chaste Tamil.

BOTTOMLINE : Give it a try if you love Bharatham , Tamil language and Tamil music. 

Genre: Historical

Director: Ilavenil

Cast: Vineeth, Keerthi Chawla, Akshaya, Manorama, Sarath Babu, Kovai Sarala, Ganja Karuppu, Thalaivasal Vijay, Sriranjani, Balasingh and Udaya.


3/5
