Review : Kandasamy (2009)

MOKKASAMY!

Rating : 1/5
Genre : Action/Thriller


The year's most awaited flick is finally in the box office, but how good a movie is it? , seems to be the buzz all around.So , let me clear the air for those buffs out there waiting to know the review before watching the movie

Here is my succinct take on the movie because everything is running in fast-forward pace and 20-20 seems to be the latest adaptation.

Kandasamy is Susi Ganesan's saivitish product of 'Anniyan'.Right from the start , the viewer is taken through a spindle of clichés and one's interest in the movie is taken aback.
In such a high-budget and high-hyped film , poor casting was the last thing anyone would have expected.It contains a strikingly enough number of non-tamil speaking characters whose amateurish dubbing adds up to the slowly growing tumour.

Susi Ganesan's previous flick "Thiruttu Payale" was more than watchable but his latest one is rather a passer.This movie lacks innovation which is very much needed to clear up the drought in tamil cinema at present.

Vadivelu's comedy tracks could have easily been deleted by the editor as it had no link with the story and was rather sleazy.

Shriya is totally useless and her presence in the movie is of 'ZERO' value.

The only thing watchable in the movie is Vikram , who has got both style and substance.But there again , the director hasn't exploited his talents to the full and the protagonist is often seen with the same kind of expressions.

The Director has tried to make an intelligent movie but then he fails because he isn't aware of the fact that the viewers are more intelligent and they can foresee the twists and turns the director has in store.It is because the only sort of diligence in the script comes in the form of treachery and much expected plot twists.

There is no basic storyline , Kandasamy sticks to , and the wretched screen play is just a welcome disgust to the viewer.

So , poor graphics ,doggerel dialogues , lackadaisical choreography and stunt sequences , abysmal comedy track , anniyan nostalgia , unwanted and superfluous runtime and above all a 'suave' agonist make Susi Ganesan's "Kandasamy" a cacophony in the realm of Vikram's existence.
Everyone should rather hope that Vikram chooses a better script and a more proficient team of technicians in the future.

So, please stop watching tamil movies and step into hollywood because there is where the 'real cinema' is although certain marvels keep coming up in tamil cinema which i would bring to your notice now and then.Till then choose hollywood as your destination.

Thank You for reading through my review , i would be highly obliged if each one of you could drop in a comment as everytime someone does it, i get more interested to write the next one.

It seems that your usage of words have elevated one step more. I was about to watch it, thanks for the warning. And keep writing, as you know I depend a lot upon reviews given by "certain" people.
