Alibaba

My Review: Alibaba

After a slew of expected movies turning out to be damn-squibs , here comes a movie that is least talked about --ALIBABA-- turning out to be another surprise packet this year. The debut team can be proud of their product.

Plot: A petty thief finds out that his bank acoount gets deposited with lakhs of money. Who are behind it & Is he cornerned in a bigger conspiracy forms the rest of the plot.

Krishna: Debutant hero, who resembles S.J.Suryah in his looks, has made a good debut in a role which is central to the proceedings. He can emote well, Dance as well as do comedy.

Janani: another debutant is refreshing to the eyes & her role not only blends well withe narrative but also contributing to it , not there for provinding romantic relief alone.

Prakashraj: As the father of the hero he steals the show in the 1st half .Look out for his introduction screen in particular. Some of Tyagarajan's best dialogues are reserved for him.

Jeeva: His dialogue delivary & sarcastic comedy are similar to Santhanam.

Thilagan, Radharavi,Bijumaenon and Alagamperumal --all have a significant part in the movie & it is heartening to see the director has used all of them well in the culmiation of the plot.

Vidhyasagar comes back with some good numbers but the song picturisation would have been better. BGM is also very good contributing to the suspense.

Dineshkumar's camera has faithfully stood beside the director in fulfilling his vision.

Neelan K Sekar--credited with story,scrennplay & direction , has made a credible debut.He has taken a very intersting plot , spiced it up with a non-linear screenplay tto build up the suspence & keep us hooked onto the proceedings right through the 2:10mins , which is by no means an easy task to achieve.

The movie comes as a special surprise & another debut team had made a good beggining this year.

Bottomline: Don't worry about the 40 theifs (other flops this year) that we have seen this year, Alibaba is here to provide the worth for your money.

4/5
