SINDHANAI SEI - TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW

If a movie or a song gains ample publicity thro' TV or print or online medium, naturally they become a hit .. On similar grounds, due to hyper telecasting of "Uchi meethu" song from Sidhanai Sei, I got impressed with it n decided to watch the movie ..

About the movie, its a thriller, its about 5 friends, how they plan for a bank robbery, how they succeed in it and what happens when they plan to share among them ..

The movie starts with Hero Yuvan who is shown as a poor jobless youth dumped by his newly married wife since he could satisfy her with money .. Soon after that, accidently he meets two of old school mates with similar state as his .. Since they dont hv a job, they start with small scale thefts and ends up with planning a bank robbery .. They seek help of their two other school mates who are co-incidently local petty theives ..

They stage a bank robbery and successfully execute it, thereby looting 5 crores .. But the movie doesnt end their .. The 5 friends decided to share among them, but since police started investigation, they plann to hide in different places individually while one among them has been assigned to take care of the entire loot for time being albeit every one has the intention to betray each other and romp away with the entire loot ..


Thereafter the movie goes what happens to the 5 people .. It is an interesting tale with lots of twists and suspense ..

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Strong and racy screenplay with no unnecessary comic interludes.
  • Thaman S of Boys fame is the music composer .. BGM is particularly impressive and songs are equally good .. Ellamey Ellamey and Thappum illai are potentially super hit songs .. Has sung "Achamillai Achamillai" song .. Already songs of his other movies EERAM and MOSCOWIN KAVERI are picking popularity.
  • Editing is another major plus.
  • Telling Performance by all the lead characters, special mention to Bala (Azhagiya Theeye, Pattiyal), Nithish Kumar (Pudhupettai, Vennila Kabadi Kulu and Onbathu Roopai Noottu), Sabhi (Bheema).
  • Twists and turns are plenty which holds viewer's attention.

MINUS:

  • A sense of unnecesary crudeness adheres with througout the movie . It is evident in many scenes in the first half and also in "Naa Kaakinaada" song ..
  • The movie doesnt have a rich look and the photography looks average ..
  • First ten to fifteen mins of the movie is confusing ..
  • No logic behind why the wife dumps the hero and the latter taking revenge.
  • Second half predictable.


Yuvan not only acts but also takes care of story, screenplay, direction, chreography, lyrics ..
Overall a different attempt and impresses a lot ..

VERDICT: A must watch for movie lovers ..
