Story: A sensitive tale, the story begins with Krishna (Vikram) who is mentally challenged and he is seen roaming on the streets asking for one Vennela. Apparently, Vennela (Baby Sara) is his daughter and a twist of fate gets him to Anuradha Raghunathan (Anushka) a lawyer who is trying hard to bag a case. She is assisted by Vinod (Santhanam) and Priya (Priya) in this. However, Krishna's case looks a bit weird given his mental condition and Anuradha tries to get rid of him. Eventually she realizes through his flashback about Vennela and decides to unite the father and daughter. She files a case against Rajendra (Sachin) and Shweta (Amala Paul), grandfather and aunt of Vennela who take her away. They hire the most powerful lawyer Bashyam (Nasser) for this. What happens from there forms the rest of the story. Artist Performances: Vikram has come up with a sensitive performance and he shoulders the role very well. Anushka looks naturally stunning but this time it was all about her act and not her glamour, she was effective. Amala Paul is stunningly sensuous and she has done her bit gracefully. Nasser was powerful. Baby Sara was the best among the lot with her innocence and expressive face. Sachin Khedekar was elegant, Santhanam brought few smiles, M S Bhaskar was okay, Surekha Vani was natural, Y G Mahendran was brief. Plus Points: * Storyline * Vikram and Baby Sara's performances * Cinematography * Song of Anushka and Vikram * Second half Minus Points: * High dose of seriousness and sentiment * Predictable in few places * Ending might get mixed reactions * Not enough comedy or entertainment Analysis: The film is the dubbed version of the Tamil flick 'Deiva Thirumagal' which is releasing today. More than that, the film scores on its powerful narrative and the way each character has been handled. As such, this cannot be called a mainstream cinema given the content but then there is a lot to be learnt about human values, relations and feelings. While the first half runs on a flashback mode, it is the second half that gets into the courtroom drama and whistles were heard even from front bench audience for few sequences. The film will work at the box office but the makers must ensure to promote it aggressively. |
