What
makes
Bale
Pandiya
special
is
its
newfangled
thread
of
storyline.
The
film"s
protagonist
blames
himself
as
the
unluckiest
man
in
the
whole
world.
Instantly,
the
similarities
strike
with
Jean-Pierre
Leaud"s
characterization
in
Hollywood"s
I
Hired
a
Contract
Killer
and
Akshay
Kumar
in
Hindi
movie
Housefull.
Naturally,
these
character
share
commonalities
of
addressing
themselves
as
unlucky,
Loser
and
are
shown
with
their
misadventures.
With
his
entire
life
filled
with
anxieties
and
misfortunes,
Pandiya
(Vishnu)
decides
to
put
an
end
to
his
life.
Left
with
a
sum
of
Rs.
10,
000
on
hand,
he
offers
a
deal
to
city"s
topmost
contract
killer
AKP
(Amar)
to
kill
him.
Surprised
with
such
a
crazy
deal,
AKP
asks
on
his
explanations
that
urged
him
from
such
decisions.
There
begins
his
loads
of
reasons
that
starts
with
his
nanny
lasting
her
breath
while
calling
out
his
name
followed
by
his
first
love
failure
and
many
more
of
that
sort.
AKP
himself
experiences
his
bad
fortune
as
he
fails
over
a
kidnap
mission
of
a
girl
Vaishnavi
(Piaa
Bajpai).
Finally,
he
assigns
him
to
go
as
a
human
bomb
into
the
event
of
National
Police
Conference
to
be
held
on
10th
of
next
month.
To
make
sure,
Pandiya
spends
his
last
few
days
with
no
worries,
he
gifts
him
with
a
debit
card
worth
Rs.
25
Lakhs,
which
will
get
expired
on
the
same
date.
Sooner,
Pandiya
finds
a
new
lease
of
life
as
he
solves
out
his
family
problems
and
comes
across
a
beautiful
Vaishnavi
(the
same
girl,
who
is
to
be
kidnapped
by
AKP).
Apparently,
when
the
day
of
ending
his
life
arrives,
Pandiya
decides
to
cancel
the
deal
by
explaining
changes
in
his
life.
Soon
as
he
arrives
at
his
house
along
with
Vaishnavi,
they"re
shocked
to
see
AKP
and
his
men
brutally
murdered.
What
unfolds
next
is
a
series
of
events
that
leaves
Pandiya
perplexed
and
situations
gets
worsened
when
Vaishnavi
is
kidnapped
by
a
mysterious
group.
Director
Siddarth
comes
up
with
an
interesting
plot
that
proves
to
be
a
wholesome
entertainer.
The
first
half
proceeds
from
Pandiya"s
point
of
view
out
of
which
the
lengthy
illustrations
in
flashback
sequences
could
have
been
trimmed.
In
fact,
Siddarth
could
have
delineated
the
protagonist"s
misadventures
over
the
title
song
itself.
Rather,
he
tries
implementing
his
creative
quotients
in
cartoon
animation.
Vishnu
deserves
appreciations
for
his
commendable
performance
as
he
seems
to
have
put
more
efforts
in
emoting
well
to
situations.
Not
to
forget
his
astounding
stunts
and
dancing
abilities.
Piaa
looks
cute
and
bubbly.
Unfortunately,
the
film
misses
the
essence
of
romantic
feel
and
Siddarth
should
have
delivered
some
prominence
over
this
quotient.
Vivek"s
lengthy
role
throughout
the
film
is
fantastic.
Thanks
to
Siddarth
for
having
carried
his
character
along
with
story
and
not
in
parallel
tracks.
Vivek
appears
as
a
London
citizen
and
evokes
laughter
with
his
tracks
and
again
they"re
more
off
satirical
liners.
Amar
as
AKP
is
extraordinary
and
VJ
turned
actor
Gibran
as
baddie
takes
off
with
a
good
start.
Jayaprakash
is
disappointing
and
John
Vijay
sleepwalks
through
his
role.
Devan
Ekambaram"s
musical
score
is
mind-boggling
as
both
songs
and
background
score
are
colossal.
The
songs
'Sirikiran"
and
title
song
'Bale
Pandiya"
wins
the
applause
of
audiences
while
'Happy"
featuring
20
playback
singers
has
been
shot
fantastically.
'Kangaley
Kamalayam"
is
a
mellisonant
duet
pictured
with
finely
elegant
montages.
Cinematography
looks
sleek
and
stylish.
20mins
after
intermission
lags
with
sluggish
screenplay
and
the
pace
picks-up
with
the
kidnap
of
Piaa
and
Vishnu"s
attempt
to
save
her.
The
final
credits
with
newspaper
headlines
crediting
the
actors
and
technicians
of
this
film
are
top-notching.
Bale
Pandiya
has
good
chances
of
making
it
bigger
in
box
office
and
Siddarth
can
attempt
of
remaking
this
film
in
Bollywood.
