 Vikram
had strained himself a lot over the years picking up exceptional
films with the aim of scoring awards. Well, ‘Kandhasamy’ wasn’t
a major hit while Manirathnam’s ‘Raavanan’ and Vijay’s ‘Deiva
Thirumagal’ have and are going to win him awards. But his ardent
buffs naturally wanted to see their star in roles he essayed in
‘Dhool’ and ‘Saamy’.
If at all, you were one amongst those buffs hankering to see
your Chiyaan Vikram back in form as a mass hero in commercial
movie, here comes ‘Rajapattai’ that will serve to your tastes.
And this one is not just for his fans, but for the family
audiences as it will easily win the hearts of 8-80s age groups.
Anal Murugan (Vikram) is an aspiring villain, who works as a gym
boy in the film. He comes across an old man (director Viswanath),
whose situation is at stake for his son forces him to sign on
documents to handover the land property that accommodates orphan
children so as to hand it over to a leading politician AKKA.
What unfolds next is a combat between Murugan and the politician
and her network of baddies, who are part of Land Grabbing Mafia.
To start off with, it’s
Susintheeran who surprises with a new lease of film as his
previous movies were patently based on offbeat themes. He has
chosen a serious issue as the main theme, but has added more
commercial elements. It has fun, romance, sentiments, action and
more than all, Chiyaan Vikram’s grand show as he appears in
different get up in just one film. You’ll be awestricken by his
physique, especially during the action sequences.
The first half has some light moments and the narration gains a
greater momentum during second half. In fact all these three
sequences that are special highlights happen during second half.
Deeksha Seth has nothing greater to perform while director K.
Viswanath comes up with an impressive performance. He plays a
main role during first half. Pradeep Rawat of ‘Ghajini’ fame
does his role perfectly.
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background score is awesome while songs are
nowhere close to the film. Cinematography by Mathi is
top-notching. ‘Rajapattai’ is a commercial treat for audiences
of all centers. It’s sure to strike gold in A,B and C centers. |
