Modhi Vilaiyadu - Review
Modhi Vilayadu doesn"t have a rare script, but has a gripping screenplay with more engrossing ingredients. Well, Director Saran who was drenched in desolate scenarios of continuous flops, Idhaya Thirudan and Vattaram, rebounds with a resplendent flick. Of course, the storyline seems to be partially similar to Prashanth"s Star, but an unparalleled narration makes the difference. Hats off to Vinay! The guy makes the bold attempt of dubbing for himself.
Udhay (Vinay) and Madhan (Yuva) are best friends, living life, enjoying the riches of Udhaya"s father Rajan Vasudev (Kalabavan Mani), who is one of the top 50 rich men in the world. Madhan lived with Udhay and Udhaya"s father took care of all of Madhan"s expenses.
Both
the
friends
meet
L
R
Eshwari
(Kajal
Agarwal),
a
pretty
college
student
and
both
of
them
fall
in
love
with
her.
Udhaya"s
father
surprisingly
supports
of
Madhan"s
love
with
L
R
Eeswari,
when
strange
things
begins
to
happen-
Madhan
gets
killed,
Udhay
losses
all
his
wealth
and
Udhay
is
on
the
run
to
save
his
life.
How
does
Udhaya
find
out
the
hidden
secrets
in
his
life?
And
does
he
sort
things
out?
As in most of Saran"s films, the first half gets around with excellent moments with lighter ambience. In direct contrast, the latter part paces with unexpected twists and turns with sharpness. Vinay with his cute looks, delivers an enchanting performance, emoting to every situation. His dialogues with Kalabavan Mani during penultimate sequences are impressive. Kajol Agarwal seems to have improved a lot from her previous films Bommalaatam and Pazhani.
Kalabavan Mani as a cliched baddie does justice to his role. Santhanam outperforms with amazing comedy tracks. Especially don"t miss his spoofs on Aarya"s Naan Kadavul, Jai"s Subramaniapuram, and Vijayakanth"s Ramana. Haneefa and Mayilsamy do come up with rib-tickling factor that is quite commendable. Also actor to be mentioned is debutant Tattoo Ram, who is characterized as Alse. This actor looks elegantly perfect, fitting the space of his role. Mark our words! He"s sure to make it big in tinsel town more like Prakash Raj and Pasupathy (great performers in South Indian film industry).
Musical score by Hariharan-Leslie (Colonial Brothers) isn"t much appealing and doesn"t withstand in your memories post-the-show. Cinematography is stylishly done with eye-capturing visuals.
Modhi Vilayadu is sure to make it big in box office for the riveting screenplay and good characterizations.
Verdict-
Worth
Watching…
Don"t
miss
it.
