Saroja

My review: Saroja

At the outset a hearty congratulations & thanks to Venkat Prabhu for reviving a very interesting genre which is very rare in Tamil Cinema - " the comical thriller ". He showed us what he is made up of in " Chennai 600028 " & now he proves that it what not a flash in the pan.

Plot: How 4 ordinary men react when confronted with an extra-ordinary situation & come up triumphant.

Venkat Prabhu: the hero of the movie , has managed to bring out laughter even in the most serious of situations naturally & his success lies in this aspect.Also supported by an intelligent screenplay , it is field day for the director Venkat Prabhu .Also technically he has given a very advanced movie.

Yuvan Sankar Raja: He is the next hero , who has elevated the movie with his stupendous BGM. All songs are chartbusters already-which adds up to the success.

Sakthi Saravanan: Last but certainy not the least of the 3 real heroes of the movie is a revealation. Binny mills never looked so differnt before (kudos for art director also ) & darkness was never portrayed in such a poetic manner before.His use of colours further enhances the visual majesty.

Praveen and Srikanth: the editor duo attracts our attention even during the titles , makes us take notice during the "cheeky cheeky " song , captivates us during the "Dosth bada dosth " song & leave us enthralled during the rest of the movie with their innovative cuttings.

Among actors Prakashraj takes the top honours with a very matured, underplayed role of a father in trauma . Special mention to the scene in which he breaks down.

Next comes Premji , his best performance till date .Esp. the love scenes centred around him are a laugh riot.

Shiva - another scene stealer in the movie esp.with his unique dialougue delivery bordering melodrama keeping in mind that he is a TV serial actor .

S.P.Charan is the actual master brain of the gang has done his role with maturity.

Sampath in another sound role but should take care to come out his typecast as rowdy/dada.

Jayaram - role very similar to that in Dham Dhoom and acting also seem to be ditto .

Vaibav- has a goos future as a action hero esp. with his eyes which portrays anger very effortlessly.

Nikitha- the scene stealer among the females in the movie .She sizzles in "Kodana kodi" .Wonder why very few opportunities for this beauty.

Vedha and Kajal Agarwal - look pretty on screen and that's about them.

Bottomline : Sure shot

4/5
