Vilayattu

My review : Vilayattu

"Vilayattu" by a new comer Ezhilventhan is watchable.

I went in to the theater to enjoy A/C and escape from this Chennai heat but i was pleasantly surprised by this movie. There is no great story or screenplay or technical novelty yet movie moves at a brisk pace and light-heartedly .

Story: Plot is how a wastrel hero becomes a refined and dignified person by his love.

Ezhilventhan ,who is also written and directed the movie ,is also the hero. In the first half with his ragged looks he look ok but in the second half he doesn't look a hero material.

Saranya , who was Sandhya's friend in "Kadhal", is the heroine . She acts ok and looks pleasant. Much publizised 'Hollywood actor' Andrew just comes and goes.

Kanja Karuppu has done a good job in making us laugh esp. the scene in which he writes his 8th std. exams is laugh riot.

Music by Jassie Gift is ok as is the cinematography.

Ezhilvendhan has done a neat job as the writer and director. Kudos for avoiding melodrama and keeping a lighter vein throughout the movie.

Verdict: Watchable

3/5
