My review: Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru
In spite of patchy screenplay, trying hard to impress hero and below par performing heroine, what keeps the movie going is the comedy that will work well with the youngsters.Not only Shanthanam, RJ Balaji keeps the audience in leash with his well timed hilarious one-liners. Delhi Ganesh shows his class in the very brief period he is on screen. Shanthanam is the real hero of the movie with whole movie riding on his shoulders. He manages to keep the audience in splits whenever he is on screen.
Siddarth's portrayal of Kumar is not that convincing. He looks clearly uncomfortable portraying a loser.He tries to be cutesy at many places which irritates more than anything else. It is surprising that Hansika even after having spend enough time in acting profession is yet to get it right when it comes to emoting. She looks evidently uncomfortable in dance sequences too. Ganesh Venkatraman doesn't have much scope to perform and he disappears completely in the second half.
Except "Azhago azhagu" none of the other songs strike a chord. Background score is below par. Sathya is the music director. Gopi Amarnath is the cinematographer who done a decent job in capturing the lifestyle of software professionals.
On the whole, when one comes out of the theater watching TVSK one can't but help the feeling that " ya, I enjoyed the movie but something seem to be missing". What could have been a non-stop entertainer ends up just about managing to entertain the audience.
Bottomline: Sunder.C could have worked a bit more harder. (Sunder.C innum konjam theeya vela seji irukalam)
3/5
After his sabbatical from direction Sunder.C's comeback movie "Kalakalappu" turned out to be a surprise hit last year which led to slew of comedy movies in Tamil. Sunder.C this time comes out with an urbane romantic-comedy with his "Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru" (TVSK) trying to venture out of his comfort zone which is rural based action-comedies. He has done justice to what he intended to do, that is to entertain the audience for two hours and twenty minutes.Shanthanam has a major role in that regard with more than ample support from bevy of comedians.
Like most of his previous movies, storyline is not that novel or complicated. Sunder.C has taken a very simple thread adorning it with string of comical bits and pieces that form a tangible assortment.
TVSK starts of in an interesting manner but fails to sustain the intensity throughout. Movie's screenplay is a mixed bag with stretches of interesting sequences followed by very ordinary and mundane scenes again followed by another string of interesting scenes. Movie gains steam in the second half and just about manage to sustain it till the end.
