No big banner , no big stars , not much publicity , no big names in the technical team , not an experienced director yet “Potta Potti 50/50” is enjoyable. It goes to show that if you have your heart in the right place & honest about it , the end result will take care of itself. Yuvaraaj & his team’s movie appear fresh though it has more than just shades of “Lagaan” .
The movie is humorous with no logic what so ever. Story as said before is inspired by “Lagaan” with south Indian flavour sprinkled generously throughout. Screenplay is lucid, linear & easy on your cognition while dialogues are damn funny & witty at the same time.
Sadagopan Ramesh has not done badly considering the “set-property” like role in “Santhosh Subramanyam” . In fact he seem to be at ease with his sarcastic dialogue delivery & even in certain comical sequences which warrants slapstick style of humour.
Harini is pleasant to the eyes. “Avatar” Ganesh overshadows everyone else with his typical dialogue delivery & timing comedy. Almost everyone in the cast have done well though none of them seem to be professionals. Mayilsami is funny as ever.
Among the songs by Aruldev “Iduvarai Iduvarai ” will linger in one’s minds for a long time. The background score however is average.
Gopi Amarnath’s cinematography is trendy where it must be & unobtrusive where it should be.
On the whole , “Potta Potti 50/50” is a simple yet enjoyable movie if one tries to view it keeping your mind simple .
Bottomline : Victory for the underdog..
3/5
