VENNILA KABBADI KUZHU

My Review: VENNILA KABBADI KUZHU

Powered by: Chakpak.com Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu 


Another Young team...Another movie set in the rural Madhurai-Dindugal area....Another movie with a novel theme...& it looks like yet Another movie with low expectation that is going to be a hit...

Plot: Story revolves around a fumbling kabbadi team which finally achieves glory & the price it has to pay for it...

Vishnu :Emotions & expressions comes naturally to him & his sombre face suits well to his characterisation.

Both the heroines Saranya Mohan & Shruthika are cute & cheerful though neither of them don't have much to do. Atleast Saranya has couple of songs to show while Shruthika is very native yet beautiful.

Kishore is first class & looks every inch a coach but His tamil pronounciation is an aural torture.

This is one of those movies in which the supporting cast rocks.Ayyapan , Appu , team captain , team member with voracious hunger , town bus driver , Hero's mother ....the list is long..

Technically the movie is rich & grand.

Laxman joins the list of promising young cinematographers . HIs work is praise-worthy.

Mu.Kasivishwanathan has chiseled the movie with great care.

Music director Selvaganesh is a worthy addition to tamil cinema. All songs are soft yet humworthy while BGM ably supports the narration.

Suseendran comes across as a director with a lots of potential in him to make it big .He has shown flashes of brilliance in this movie & will learn a lot from this experience .

Few brilliant scenes are the one in which Mari explains to Ayyapan why he ate very little which shows his affection towards his mom, the friendship between Mari & the Bus driver & the race scenes involving the two , the pep talk coach gives to the team during their first game , the Parotta shop scene....

Few negatives are there too. The sentiment in the end seems to forced into the script & looks contrived.The friendship between Mari & the epileptic opposite team member as well as the character of Shruthika were not used properly .Also the kind of impact that one gets when the underdogs win finally seems to be missing here.

Setting aside the few negatives , the movie has lots of positives to look up to & savour. On the whole movie is good .

Bottomline: Will have a favorable outing in the BO.

3.5/5
