My review: Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaran
"Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaran" by Ezhil stars Vishnu Vishal, Soori and Nikki Galrani. I am still mystified by the fact that this inane movie is a hit and more so it is credited to be a comedy. I didn't smile leave alone laugh for even a moment while watching this movie. It only goes to show that the threshold for laughs has come down drastically for the contemporary audience. As a result Ezhil marches on triumphantly with ordinary work.
There are only two running gags that could be justified in people laughing, one that involving Soori and his botched up marriage and the other one involving Robo Sankar's compulsive repetitive narration. Other than this there is nothing much in the movie. Story is redundant and the screenplay directionless. Even the dialogues which are intended to be comical are all trite with overuse of alliterations.
After an impressive lineup of his, one wonders what made Vishnu to take this movie. He is all at sea in the genre which he is clearly not comfortable with. Nikki Galrani on the other hand is energetic and does justice in a poorly written role, Soori and Robo Sankar does their job well.
Sathya's music is one of the very few positive aspects of this movie. "Kutheeti kannula" and "Pappara mittai" are ruling the FM channels. There is nothing much for him to do as far as background score is concerned.
On the whole, "Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaran" is yet another hackneyed so-called comedy from Ezhil.
Bottomline: Tiresome watch
1.5/5
