After
Arai
En
305-il
Kadavul
and
Vallavanukku
Pullum
Aayudham,
Santhanam
is
back
as
a
hero
through
Inimey
Ippadithan.
Does
the
film
has
enough
in
it
to
sustain
him
as
a
hero
as
its
title
suggests?
Find
it
out
in
our
review
below.
Inimey
Ippadithan
Plot:
Santhanam's
situation
is
to
marry
within
3
months,
according
to
a
astrologer.
His
family
is
put
under
pressure
in
finding
the
right
girl.
They
(his
family)
even
think
that
Santhanam
has
gone
overboard
with
his
persistence
of
finding
a
beautiful
girl.
When
Santhanam
tries
his
hand
in
finding
a
beautiful
girl
himself,
he
meets
Ashna
and
decides
that
the
girl
fits
the
bill
and
begins
to
follow
her.
In
a
cinematic
twist,
Santhanam's
uncle,
played
by
Thambi
Ramaiah,
forces
him
into
an
engagement
with
Akhila,
saying
that
he
has
indeed
found
a
beautiful
girl
for
him
after
all.
After
having
made
Ashna
fall
for
him,
Santhanam
gets
engaged
to
Akhila.
Will
he
go
on
to
marry
Akhila
or
find
a
way
to
bring
Ashna
into
his
life?
These
questions
are
answered
with
an
unexpected
twist
in
the
climax.
Performances:
Santhanam
shines(literally,
as
the
crew's
efforts
to
make
him
look
like
a
hero
becomes
obvious).
Coming
back
to
his
performance,
yes,
he
shines
with
his
dialogue
deliveries
and
body
language.
He
sure
knows
how
to
leave
your
sides
split.
The
leading
ladies
have
done
what
is
required,
but
the
real
stand
out
performance
comes
from
the
veteran
Thambi
Ramaiah,
who
pulls
off
his
role
as
a
responsible
uncle
with
ease.
His
ability
to
make
you
laugh
with
his
subtlety
adds
value
to
the
entire
movie.
Technicalities:
Directors
Murugan
and
Anand,
simply
referred
to
as
Muruganand
have
presented
the
movie
neatly
without
much
of
a
lag
in
either
first
or
the
second
half.
Having
said
that,
wrong
placement
of
songs
hinders
the
pace,
even
though
all
the
songs
have
been
picturized
well.
BGM
by
Santhosh
Kumar
is
good
enough
for
a
debutant
music
composer.
Cinematographer
Gopi
Jagadesswaran
has
used
the
colours
brilliantly,
portraying
richness
in
each
and
every
scene.
The
film's
main
drawback
is
its
editing
as
Anthony
L.
Ruben
could've
used
his
pair
of
scissors
in
a
much
smarter
way.
Overall
View:
Santhanam's
Inimey
Ippadithan
aims
at
making
its
audience
laugh
and
achieves
it
convincingly,
watch
out
for
the
climax
sequence.

Santhanam's
New
Avatar?
As
the
movie
name
suggests,
Santhanam
might
play
more
and
more
central
roles
going
forward.
Santhanam
And
Ashna
Ashna
played
Santhanam's
heroine
in
her
first
Tamil
movie,
Vallavanukku
Pullum
Aayudham.
This
is
her
second
collaboration
with
the
comedian
turned
hero.
Santhanam
And
Akhila
Akhila
Kishore
who
was
seen
in
Parthiban's
Kathai
Thiraikathai
Vasanam
Iyakkam
was
critically
acclaimed
for
her
role.
She
doesn't
have
much
of
a
screen
space
though
in
this
film.
Rise
Of
An
Old
Genre?
Two
movies
which
released
today(12th
June)
shares
the
same
genre,
romantic-comedy.
Amidst
bunch
of
horror-comedies,
these
two
movies
might
work
wonders
at
the
box
office.
Cycling
His
Way
Towards
Love
The
on-screen
chemistry
between
Santhanam
and
Ashna
have
worked
out
well,
better
than
Ashna's
debut
movie.
Old
Wine
In
New
Bottle?
While,
many
are
raving
about
the
film,
some
say
that
it
could
be
an
adaption
from
an
old
Tamil
movie.
Box
Office
Success?
With
a
heavy
competition
in
Romeo
Juliet,
it
is
to
be
seen
if
this
movie
can
make
an
impact
at
the
box
office.
