Enakku Innoru Per Irukku

My review: Enakku Innoru Per Irukku

The hit team of "Darling" is back with their second movie "Enakku Innoru Per Irukku" (EIPI). Sam Anton who showed glimpse of his comical prowess in his debut seems to have perfected it in his second venture, EIPI. On the outset if you are the one who looks out for logic, political correctness and morality in cinema, then you can just avoid this movie because it has none. It is a comical-gangster story in which showcases how a haemophobic wastrel becomes the next don aka naina aka godfather of Royapuram. 

First half is non-stop laughathon. Sam has taken recourse to every genre of comedy possible be it, slapstick, farce, parody, satire, blue, word play or even dark comedy to keep the audience in splits. The sequence which satires the "super singer" audition, the spoof of many gangster movies, the intelligent use of famous punchlines in comical of situations, the whole bride seeking sequence are few examples of wonderfully written and staged stretches that evokes laughter to the extent that it hurts your tummy.

On the other hand, the second half fails to emulate its predecessor as the movie takes a dichotomous route with the serious portions taking over and the comical portions not that impressive. As the mood is set so light in the first half and the continues in that  vein in the second too, the serious portions fails to create any impact, Even the what could have been wonderful mass transformation moments in the second half towards the climax seem less impactful and play out like episodes from "Lollu Sabha". But in the end, you don't come of the theatre unsatisfied. Movie entertains and people who crave for it would be satisfied. 

There is a tremendous improvement in the overall development of G.V. Prakashkumar as an actor. He emotes well, dialogue delivery has improved by leaps and bounds and tries his hand at dancing too well. Ananthi is good in the limited portions that she gets to perform. Yogi Babu is the show stealer among the support cast which has lots of promising names in it. His physique, dialogue delivery and timing harmoniously lends a stupendous hand to the effectiveness of his effort in evoking laughter, which he does in tonnes. This movie is sure going to be a game changer in Babu's career. Another promising actor who evokes notice is Vijay Varadharaj, a youtube sensation with "Temple monkeys". His effortless miming comedy is another asset to the movie. Saravanan, V.T.V. Ganesh, Rajendran (who is fast emerging as one of the most sought  after comedian at least in terms of the theatre response ), Nirosha, Karunas, Charlie, among others have given admirable support. 

The remix dependent songs and back ground score gels well with the mood of the movie and having the lead protagonist compose music for the movie helps. Technically movie looks top class with good cinematography by Krishnan Vasant, especially the special mention to the fact the most of the movie happens in the night or poorly lit atmosphere and his visuals are flawless. 

On the whole, "Enakku Innoru Per Irukku" is a light weight movie that will surely hurt your tummy laughing. 

Bottomline: Unpretentious laughathon
