‘Yengalai’ Arindhal

I mean the Audience. If you knew, you would not do this GVM.

Fine, Trilogy excuse accepted, post Kaakha Kaakha and Vetttaiyadu Vilayadu.

But there were glaring mistakes,  IMHO;

·         Simbu was the best and probably only actor who could do justice to the role in VTV. But GVM, In Yennai Arindhaal anyone except Ajith could hv been good. Aasai, Vaali and even stylish Billa was ok for Ajith.  He just cannot play intense characters.  Dot.

·         Anushka as choice of heroine was worse. She was supposed to be the little sweet thing who needs to be protected. Here we have Anushka at 5 ft 10” ,  towering over everyone with what my wife tells me is called “out of bed hair style”.  She does best in mature roles as in Theiva Thirumagal.  Not as someone who will drool at Ajith at first sight.

·         Story was a series of short videos – poorly put together. A voiceover in  the background will not substitute  for Screenplay.  Again  ‘Dot’!!

·         Stylish cops are welcome. But not absolute idiots who send cops without guns with the daughter to school. In fact in most scenes , we are left wondering why policemen never carry guns.

·         None of the villains or their hoodlums evoke a feeling of fear. Most were trying to imitate Senthil or Vadivel.

·         The stunts were poorly made and hence had to be heavily edited I think. All we saw was some movement followed by broken glass, furniture or blood. Whatever ensued in between had to be assumed.

·         Lighting was too bright  to give a filmy feeling. Looked like a TV serial.

Dear GVM – Subramaniapuram  has long back taken  the Tamil audience to a different level. Followed by Aadukalam, Yudhham sei, Naduvula KPK etc.

Pl  Grow up !!  This also applies to my dear  Lingaa and Anjaan makers. Less said about these films the better. Even thinking about Anjaan gives me Nausea.....
