Film: 3 Starring: Dhanush,Shruti Hassan, Siva Karthikeyan Director: Aishwarya Dhanush Producer: Kasthuri Raja Banner: R.K.productions Pvt Ltd Music: Anirudh Finally the Wait is over…..The KOLAVERI movie is here….. '3' hits the Screen,made by the '3' great artists who are the predecessors of '3' masters of Tamil Industry – Dhanush (son of Director KasthuriRaja who is also the producer of this movie),Shruti Hassan(Daughter of Kamalhassan), Aishwarya (Daughter of Rajnikanth as well as wife of Dhanush). Infact I didn't find any other relation with this name and the movie…. The movie…its all about Ram (Dhanush) and Janani(Shruti) moving through all the feelings from their teenage +2 days till the tragedy after their marriage…and that is the suspense of the movie. The intro scene itself will give you a shock ,which is the funeral of Dhanush….ooohh ..I am sorry…I am not supposed this to say this… The entire story runs in the Flashback….which is the real beauty and life of the movie. I am sure that everybody will resemble themselves to the teenage Ram who is driving a Yamaha RX100 bike,waiting under the tree for a passing look from the girl,joining the Tuition class with the best friend only to be with her for some time,and avoiding the best friend to have a ride in his bike with Girl friend…etc..etc.. These are the things to be highlighted about the 1st half,which made the movie…i should say THE BEST… The 2nd half completely turns the mood and take you to another genre, which is the masterpiece of National Award Winner Dhanush – A Psychological Thriller. I really doubt about this phase which can entertain all the type of Audience because of a big transition,which is providing a Hot and Cold treatment with romance and bipolar disorder. Dhanush lived in the character Ram,which resembles him to his 'Thulluvatho Ilamai' looks and 'Kathal Kondein' attitude. Shruti Hassan proved her acting skills specially in her teenage girl phase. Aishwarya surprised with her direction ability in the debut movie which is really appreciable. The main personality to be mentioned in Anirudh, the music Director. The boy made the world to dance with his Kolaveri Steps, pushed this movie to the next level with amazing background Scores. The BGM is a spicy add on to all the best scenes in this movie. There is a special applause goes to the parental characters did by Prabhu,Bhanupriya and Rohini. Altogether this is something changed the conventional patterns of tamil movie.Really Fresh Verdict : Yo Soup Boys…it is SWEET and SOUR….. and TASTY Review 2 3 takes us deep into the life and love of Ram (Dhanush) & Janani (Shruti Haasan), whom we are introduced to as 12th standard students. A casual help of offering to fix the cycle chain makes Ram fall for Janani. he follows her everywhere and as Physics, chemistry and biology has taught us both of them fall in love. Janani warns Ram before accepting his love that she will leave to the USA since it's her mother's dream for their family to settle there. We are then showed the college days where Janani comes and tells Ram they her parents are taking her to USA. She is forced to tell her parents that she loves Ram. Ram & Janani get married and lead a good life. Perfect story, innit??? It does not end there. We are told a totally different story in the events that follow. And what exactly happens forms the climax. The first half is a joyride. Dhanush & Shruti's love scenes are cute and realistic. They seem to have hit the right equations in chemistry. Prabhu as Ram's father is adorable in his father avatar. A perfect dad. But it is Siva Karthikeyan (of Vijay TV fame) steals the show with his witty one liners and well times mocks in the entire first half. The second half tells a different story altogether. The fun disappears, there is almost a dark feel to the film. The climax will leave you with a lump in the throat. Coming to the performances, Dhanush as usual is on a streak. Film after film, the efficiency if his performances are on the rise. He emotes well, provides the laughs and reaches a great level of intensity in fight scenes. A show stealer. Sruti Haasan provides ample support to Dhanush. Acting is in her genes and she showcases her talent in the first half of the movie. She is merely reduced to a crying machine in the second half where that is what she was asked to do. Sundar who comes as Dhanush's friend makes you yearn for a friend like him. Apart from them all characters do their roles to perfection. The music by Anirudh Ravichander is brilliant for someone who is making his debut. His background music is soulful support to the movie. He excels in the background during the fight scene. Brilliant use that! The songs are already a rage and are sure to catch on since the movie is released now. The widely acclaimes Kolaveri Di is decently picturised. Do not expect too much as songs blend along with the film. The film overall gives a feeling that we were watching 2 different movies at the same time. A tale of two halves. At times it seems dragging post interval. Dhanush's Characterterisation gives a strong whiff of the recently released Mayakkam Enna. Overall a decent effort from debutante director Aishwaria R. Dhanush. A pat on the back for trying something different. An extra star for the brilliant casting and performances. |
