Charlie Chaplin's mix of scandals, intrigue, investigations After watching the movie, I have mixed feelings. The first part I watched with difficulty, straining through the dull humor in the style of Chaplin: falls, beatings, broken values, accidental blows to the head with a hammer ... I never understood what was funny about it. In addition, the third friend in this company is clearly 20 years older than the other guys, so when he molests young girls along with the loving character Vijay, it looks miserable and ridiculous. In addition, the first part is focused exclusively on Aravind, performed by Vijay - he flirts, falls in love, dances, gets stuck in a situation, and the hero of Surya hangs out somewhere in the background, scaring with an incredible monobrow and some clumsy tendrils: before that I could not even assume that the handsome Surya can be so disfigured (in Peralagan it was done for an important purpose, and for what here, it is unclear). To be honest, I don’t like Vijay very much: he looked extremely ridiculous in fights, but the faces in romantic-comic scenes were not bad. The dancing was very simple: two slaps - three floods against the background of beautiful views, which for some reason looked like a montage. In general, the first hour and a half lasted endlessly, but then how twisted and wrapped up, as it happened: I froze in front of the screen. Events followed one after another: the breakdown of weddings, promises of revenge, frames and forged letters, arson and attempted murder, vilification and betrayal, the choice between a wife and a friend, the disclosure of secrets kept for more than 15 years! I stopped breathing. Especially since the emphasis shifted to Chandra, performed by Surya, dances and songs stopped, the heat grew, passions just boiled! Comic inserts, as well as musical ones, were only in the first part, the second part was already on the game of Surya and intrigues. The end, however, disappointed: they wanted to squeeze out a tear, but overdone it, it looks extremely implausible.
As for me, in this film is worth 1 hour of action: throw out all the unnecessary pseudo-humor at the beginning, polish the ending and replace the young old man from the friendly trinity, so it would be a worthy film. The girls are all South Indian: blood with milk, appetizing puffs with beautiful eyes and luxurious hair. Secondary actors (moms-dads-aunts-uncles) do not really try, but the picture does not spoil. Surya has fine facial expressions in the first part and excellent face work in the second (he still does not have as good a body as in subsequent films). Vijayu’s films are more suited than heroic, given his appearance (IMHO, as they say). If slip-and-fall humor doesn’t make you as repulsed as I do, you can look at it from the beginning. If not, you can start watching after 1 hour and 25 minutes.
