Poi Solla Porom

My Review: Poi Solla Porom

Here it is . At last we have a full lenght comedy in tamil after a long wait . Vijay ,inspired from JAideep Shahni's " Koshla ka Ghosla" , has managed to give us a clean comedy movie which is totally natural - both in acting as well as the settings.

Plot : A middle class family is all out to get back their property from a dreaded real estate shark who has illegally encroched upon it .

Karthikkumar : It is the best from him so far . He is so natural & effortless as a techie who is detatched from his family as well as his love who later tries his heart out to get back his family land. (But how long will directors show him as one who has to do someting with US ).

Piya : the new comer heroine , whom we are familiar in umpteen adds that we see on TV, has done a OK job but should have taken care as far as the lip sink is concerned . Suchithra's dubbing portrays more emotions than the face of her !

Mouli : among other supporting actors he stands tall. It is yet another knock-out performance from the veteran. It is hard to imagine any other in that role.

Nasser: Another one who impresses with his looks as well as body language . Special mention the scenes when he confronts the village girls in the land - whole theatre was laughing aloud .

Nedumudy Venu : Ably portrays myriad of emotion right from buying the land , loosing it , going through lot of hardships & finally achieving his dream.

Laksmi as the house-wife/mom makes us take notice of her right in the opening scenes itself in which she talks about missing the serial right in front of his husband's dead body.

Balaji's a impressive debut esp. the scene in which he confronts the fisheries dept. officers is a laugh riot.

Bosky & others support aptly.

Sree Kumar's songs & Gopi Sunder's re-recording adds spice to the proceedings.

Arvind Krishna scores & proves that he can make the visuals rich even if the movies is a comedy caper.

Vijay - who has written & directed the movie has done a very good job in making us laugh , which is not that easy. Also the movie is technically sound & never looses on the reality aspects also . Since the plot is also a topical issue thw movie is bound to get good responses from all .

Bottomlone: A sweet lie .

4/5
