Though "Vamanan " is Jai first movie as solo hero ,the makers have gone overboard in presenting him as all prevailing mass action hero which seems a little preposterous on the part of them as well the person in question. Also it is not only quiet irritating but also outrageous on the part of some young heros to ridicule established senior actors in the name of comedy . Jai must see to it that he also don't go the same way of some others like him who vanished from the industry by making their tongue do all the talking without giving it a thought.
Coming to "Vamanan " it is all style without any substance .The script by I.Ahmed is totally illogical & frivolous ,unable to keep the viewers interested with innumerable holes in the plot & many loose ends untied. The basic plot is same as that of "Muthirai " another disappointment which released few weeks back & the treatment is nothing better.
Jai tries to ascend to the heights of some top heroes of Tamil cinema but ends up with eggs on his face .One advise to him .Sir, try to concentrate on the job at hand which is acting rather than unnecessarily indulging in over-zealous ,over-smart rumblings.
Priya Anand has nothing much to do & have a very limited screen space while Laxmi Rai not only flaunts her assets a great deal but also done a neat job emoting.
Santhanam is the only redeeming factor of the movie & it is he who keeps the first half going with some support from Urvashi but even he can't salvage the inane second half.
Rest in the cast Rahman , Sampath , "Thalaivasal" Vijay & the rest are cliched to the core.
Yuvan Sankar Raja's re-recording is disappointing (the number of movies he is currently doing is taking the toll )while couple of songs are worthy a listen.
Arvind Krishna's cinematography especially his lighting is excellent .
I.Ahmed's debut as director & writer is not the one he will remember .There are fleeting moments of amateurishness in between some pretty ordinary scenes .
Week after week we are subjected to some pretty poor scripts in Tamil cinema.This paucity of decent script writers in Tamil is quiet baffling tp say the least. One may wish to freak out loud "Tamil cinemava kapatha yarume illaya" after seeing such pathetic attempts week after week.
On the whole , those who have already watched "Muthirai" beware of another tryst with destiny if you dare to venture into this movie .Rest of you save your money & peace of mind.
Bottomline: "Muthirai " & "Thoranai" are classics when compared to this.
1.5/5
