The director even was the one to spot the talent of A R Rahman and introduce him to the world of cinema as a composer through his movie Roja. The director has introduced many supreme talents to the country, the director introduced actors like Aravind Swami and R Madhavan through his films. The last release of the director was in 2018 titled Chekka Chevantha vaanam. Still, unwittingly, he adds to the comic element - and that should suffice as far as this film is concerned.Ratnam has won six National Film Awards, four Filmfare Awards, six Filmfare Awards South, and numerous awards at various film festivals across the world. Some of Mani Ratnam must-see films include Mouna Ragam, Geethanjali, Thalapathi, Anjali, Iruvar, Dil Se, Roja, Bombay, Kannathil Muthamittal, Guru and O Kadhal Kanmani to name a few.

Of course, it would have meant chopping off Ritheesh completely - and that would have been unacceptable to the producers. In the end, they've ended up butchering memories of a good name for their own purposes but you can't deny that with some tightening of the script and chopping off several extraneous scenes, this one could have made a mark. Vijaykumar Reddy's story and screenplay do give you a reasonable ride, despite the obvious gimmicks employed. Maria Manohar's music is predictable - the background score seems messy and a tad loud at times. While we don't see the need for two Anandrajs, the veteran villain does a neat job here as well. There's another young lady who dances a song as Ritheesh's love interest - but in typical filmi fashion, her fate is unknown.

Though Keerthi Chawla has nothing much to do, she does make a mark as the bubbly second lead. Sangeetha does a good job as a terrified doctor - even if the pat way in which she assembles the phone to work is puzzling the scenes where she cleverly escapes and rushes to the authorities, playing into the villain's hands are well done. With his looks and body language, he produces a personable hero who is catapulted into a plot unawares, and the movie belongs as much to him as Ritheesh. At any rate, he has no illusions about himself.īut it's Ramana who's the surprise package. Here is an actor who is fully aware that he's nowhere in the big league, and is still fun to watch. Ritheesh himself looks like he's enjoying playing the wannabee-superstar a lot, with his grins, wigs and gun-toting stunts.

The story hovers in between Guru, his histrionics, bad wigs and songs and special effects that make him split into 10 Gurus - and to Shakthi, his quest for the missing Sandhya, her son and the mystery of how her husband Viswanath (Sriman) is connected with the plot.Įventually, it does fall into place - and the various twists and turns Shakthi goes through to get at the end are interesting.Ĭonsidering the posters splashed all over the city and the lead hero's own reputation, you're not prepared to expect anything from J K Ritheesh - and you don't. Then it's straight to Hollywood's Cellular, (already made in Tamil as Vegam) - but interestingly, the screenplay holds you enough that you sit through it.

Exit Shakthi and Divya from the marriage hall - to a really cute scene where Divya reveals that it is Shakthi she really loves.Īnd then its back to Dr Sandhya (Sangeetha), who is kidnapped by Anandraj for some inexplicable region, tries to piece the shattered phone in her room - and wham, she connects to Shakthi, who's driving away with Divya. And just as you think this is going to be another sob-story with a softy second hero, the story does a U-turn: the bride Divya (Keerthi Chawla) tries to commit suicide, is promptly stopped by the hero, and reveals that she's in love with someone else.
