Review: Boss engira Baskaran (2010)


'Boss engira Baskaran', directed by M.Rajesh of 'Siva Manasula Sakthi' doesn't fail to disappoint this time although the storyline is nothing new. Arya, Nayantara and Comedy king Santhanam play lead roles in this comical entertainer.

The story is about Baskaran (Arya), a lousy wanderer, who isn't interested in studies or work. All in all he is totally jobless a.k.a. vetti. He meets Chandrika (Nayantara), who is a professor. What follows is total roll on the floor entertainment. Amazing performance by Santhanam. He literally carries the whole movie in his shoulders. His comical one-liners, as usual, rock and has the viewer in splits.


Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is just spellbinding. 'Yaar Andha Pendhaan' is already a chartbuster and the visuals too sing in unison with the tune's magic. The song may seem cliched, but come on, this is what one should expect from the future, the music directors and composers have run out of tunes. There is nothing new to offer. All other songs are good and Yuvan proves it once again that he is the lone leader of tamil cinema music, of course in ARR's absence.



Other technical aspects, like cinematography, stunts, editing, costumes, etc. need no mention as they are usual and nothing about them is strikingly different from the usual.

Acting wise, no one deserves a special mention except, Santhanam, who emerges out of nowhere to save this film. Because, storywise, screenplay wise, and even acting wise, there is nothing innovative in this movie, the only thing to watch out for is Santhanam's comedy.

Let me keep this review short. The only reason for that is, i have nothing else to praise about in this movie except Santhanam and nothing to criticize negatively about because everyone have put in their best and their best doesn't amuse us much.



On a closing note, Santhanam has proved his mettle. 'Nanbaen da' is sure to be the dialogue of the month, until Superstar's 'Endhiran' overshadows it soon.


Rating: 2.5/5
