After
taking
a
three-year
gap,
popular
comedian
Vadivelu
is
back
with
bang.
The
actor,
who
had
entertained
audience
as
a
hero
in
Imsai
Arasan
23am
Pulikesi,
has
turned
hero
again
for
his
come-back
movie
Thenaliraman
(Tenaliraman).
Expectations:
Expectations
are
sky
high
for
Thenaliraman,
as
Vadivelu
was
missing
out
of
action
from
last
few
years.
His
fans
had
badly
missed
him
and
they
have
been
desperately
waiting
to
watch
him
on-screen.
The
comedian-turned-hero
had
taken
a
break
from
films
due
to
his
involvement
in
politics.
Well,
his
support
to
the
DMK
went
in
vain,
as
the
party
lost
the
power
last
general
elections.
Post
elections,
there
was
reportedly
pressure
on
films
not
to
cast
him
in
films.
It
comes
as
a
no
surprise,
as
politcs
and
cinema
go
hand
in
hand
in
Tamil
Nadu.
Well,
Vadivelu's
comeback
was
not
smooth,
as
Thenaliraman
faced
a
lot
of
issues.

Story:
Vadivelu
plays
the
dual
roles
of
a
king
(Maamannar)
and
his
minister
Thenaliraman.
The
kingdom's
future
is
in
trouble
with
the
council
of
ministers
planning
a
conspiracy
against
the
king.
Eight
of
his
ministers
want
to
have
a
deal
with
Chinese
traders.
So,
this
becomes
the
root
cause
of
all
issues.
A
sincere
minister
gets
killed
and
the
jester
enters
the
court
of
the
king
as
his
replacement.

Review
The
ordinary
man
Thenaliraman,
who
is
sent
to
kill
the
king,
understands
the
situation,
which
is
creating
chaos
in
the
kingdom.
He
wins
the
trust
of
the
king,
who
has
36
wives
and
52
children.
Through
his
intelligence
he
makes
his
ruler
to
see
his
shortcomings,
the
secret
plans,
etc.
In
the
meantime,
he
falls
in
love
with
Maamannar's
daughter
played
by
Meenakshi
Dixit.
How
do
the
Vadivelus'
tackle
the
situation?
You

Characterisation
Of
Vadivelu
Both
the
characters
of
Vadivelu
are
different
from
each
other.
Unlike
his
earlier
films,
he
is
not
doing
the
role
of
a
scapegoat
rather
we
will
see
a
differnet
kind
of
role
alltogether
in
Thenaliraman.
Story
Analysis
The
first
half
of
Thenaliraman
is
filled
with
loads
of
fun
elements.
His
fans
will
blow
whistles
every
now
and
then.
The
second
half
keeps
you
engaged
and
we
could
see
Vadivelu
performing
both
the
roles
at
his
best.
But
there
are
some
boring
moments
in
this
half.
Drawback
The
screenplay
loses
the
grip
in
the
second
half.
The
wrong
placement
of
the
songs
is
the
biggest
minus
of
Thenaliraman.
Performances
Vadivelu
does
a
one-man
show
in
Thenaliraman.
His
body
language
and
sense
of
humour
are
treat
to
watch.
Whereas
Meenakshi
Dixit
doesn't
have
much
to
do
in
the
film.
She
looks
good
in
songs.
Rest
other
characters
like
Mansoor
Ali
Khan,
Manobala
and
others
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Tech
Departments
D
Imman's
music
is
not
up
to
the
mark.
People
definetly
miss
his
tracks
and
the
songs
appear
like
speedbreakers
in
the
film.
His
background
score
is
okay.
Ramnath
Shetty's
cinematography
is
perfect.
However,
CG
and
art
departments
stand
out
from
all
other
technical
departments,
as
it
gives
the
feel
of
period
films.
Verdict:
Verdict:
Thenaliraman
is
a
complete
family
entertainer.
It
is
a
paisa-vasool
film.
