Touted to be a real life story & tribute of Pa.Vijay for his friend's love , movie ends up exasperating the viewers with it's snail paced & old fashioned presentation . Though the story may move the viewer in the end (especially considering it that it has atually happened in real life) one need extra bit of patience & time to sit through upto that point . "Gnabagangal" is not in sinc with the times & may not get the response it envisaged to .
Pa.Vijay's acting is totally inspired from Cheran's & though he has put in his best efforts possible that is not enough to save the day.He ends up making some unintended comedy in terms of dancing as well as in some romantic & emotional scenes also. Also the amke up plays traunt in almost all the sequences .
Sridevika looks glamourous in this movie & acts well & has a meaty role too. She aslo seems to have dubbed herself which is competent . But same cannot be said of her dressing sense & make-up.
Rest of the cast put up some amatuerish attempt .Director Jeevan comes up in a small role .
The makers may well have avoided the dig at one of the most famous lyricist though it reflects a personal anguish tinted in it .
James Vic's music is nothing to rave about.
Jevvan handles the camera as well as direction.
Pa.Vijay has written the story , screenplay , dialogues & songs as well as produced the movie. The "kavidhai"'s that appear in between the narration (ala Kadhir's movies) are good though they stick out odd .Dialogues are full of literary connotation which try to give the movie a lyrical quality but they look forced into the narration.
Screenplay is very slow & has nothing novel to offer .Since the end is known in the first reel itself , the suspence element is also not there. Also the screenplay is distorted with scenes appearing in & out without any link.
On the whole , wait for Kalinger T.V to telecast it on a friday night any sooner .
Bottomline : Gnabagangal - marakapada vendiyavai.....
2/5
