When R.Parthiban’s “Vithagan” was in the cans for a long time many of us might have been saddened by it. After seeing the movie one wish the movie as well might have slept in the cans forever & saved us from all the torture everyone endured for 2 hours & 15 minutes. When Parthiban made that forgettable “Pachakuthirai” 5 years ago many of us might have thought it must be the lowest point of his career but “Vithagan” proves it wrong.
Heart pains when one see such a talent going waste in pursuit of commercial success without giving a damn to their talent. What has befallen the maker of such classics like “Puthiya Padai” , “Housefull” & “Kudaikul Mazhai”. Atleast “Ulle Veliye” in spite of it crassness had a bankable script. “Vithagan ” is such a pathetic piece of crap one wonders what might have gone through the minds of the director & the producer of the movie when they thought of making it in the first place.
There are couple of very brief flashes of Pathiban’s intelligence but it would be very hard for anyone to take notice in the backdrop of the tiring larger picture. First half was bad but tolerable but the second half was worse. One can’t describe about the script , dialogues & direction of this movie without using expletives . So it is better not to talk about it.
Coming to acting Poorna has done a good job , sad that her talent is getting wasted in such an absurd project. Parthiban tries his level best impersonate “Pokiri” , “Kakka kakka” , “Samy” , “Singam” .....but to no avail. Milind Soman in the most ridiculous villan role of the year makes you squirm in your seat .
Joushua Sridhaar’s songs are not hummable while re-recording is pain on the ears. M.S Prabhu & Ramnath Shetty are the cinematographers of the movie.
On the whole , “Vithagan” – with a gun , will be gunning for your hard earned money & peace of mind if you ever try to think of seeing it.
Bottomline : Endless torture...
1.5/5
