Thenavettu

My Review :Thenavettu

Jeeva has already found out that crass masala movies are not his forte with that forgettable "Pori" but sadly he seems not to have learned from it."Thenavetu" sadly will stick out like a sore thumb in his filmography along with "Pori" .

Plot: Hero loves a girl - Villan's son tries to molest her - hero beats him to death - villan tries to seek his revenge - Hero ends up triumphs against all odds - Hero-Heroine unite - a duet song in the end credits..........!so much for an innovative storyline...!!

Jeeva - Tries his hard to appear comfortable on screen but sadly he ends up unsuccessful as a village ruffian from Madurai coming to Chennai to work.Nowhere does he speak the Madurai dialect either. But he dances like a dream.

Poonam - reminds one of the angelical , goody-goody heroines of holy virtues & morals that we were accustomed to see on screen during the 70's and 80's . She turns up in glamorous outfits & shed her inhibitions in the songs though .(They are just dream sequences you see ..! )

Kanja Karupu tries his level best to elicit some laughter but sadly he fails in his endeavour.

RaviKale just hams his way through while Shafi as his psychotic son impresses but his punch dialogs get irritating after a while.

Saikumar , yesteryear hero , is wasted in a role of an inefficient police officer.

Songs by Srikanth Deva is nothing to write home about but choreography in that folk duet is quite interesting.

Technically the film is shoddy .

Kathir , who debuts with this movie ,treads the safe path of his guru but sadly the masala lacks in taste.

Bottomline : Stay Away.

2/5
