Rating:
2.5/5
Urumeen
starring
Bobby
Simha
and
Kalaiyarasan
in
important
roles
has
released
today.
Touted
as
a
fantasy-thriller,
Urumeen
had
created
a
decent
buzz
prior
to
its
release.
Does
the
film
has
enough
in
it
to
fascinate
movie
buffs?

Urumeen
Plot:
Set
across
three
different
time
periods,
Urumeen
houses
a
revenge
story
that
spans
across
generations.
While
the
connection
between
two
characters,
played
by
Bobby
Simha
and
Kalaiyarasan,
forms
the
basic
plot,
rest
of
the
film
revolves
around
why
they
badly
want
to
see
each
other
dead.
Performances:
It
shouldn't
come
across
as
a
surprise
if
Bobby
Simha
bags
many
more
action
flicks
as
a
solo
hero
in
the
near
future,
for
he
looks
natural,
playing
a
raw
character,
who
seeks
revenge.
Kalaiyarasan,
who's
been
awarded
a
meaty
role,
does
complete
justice
to
his
character.
The
villainous
look
and
laugh
he's
managed
to
bring
out
deserves
a
mention
and
praise.
Reshmi
Menon
looks
impressive,
with
her
cute
expressions
working
in
favour
of
the
movie.
While
actors
like
Charlie
and
Sivabalan
have
performed
their
respective
roles
well,
Kaali
Venkat
and
Manobala
fail
to
evoke
laughter
at
regular
intervals.
Technicalities:
Technically,
Urumeen
is
quite
impressive.
Background
score,
cinematography
and
dialogues
are
some
of
the
technical
aspects
that
stand
out
throughout.
Music
director
Achu
Rajamani
comes
up
with
one
of
his
best
background
scores
so
far
and
cinematographer
Ravindranath
Guru
has
provided
some
surprisingly
slick
visuals
and
together
they've
elevated
insipid
scenes.
Though
editor
San
Lokesh
has
done
a
decent
job
in
keeping
the
audience
hooked
for
the
most
part
of
first
half,
he
could've
made
Urumeen
a
better
'thriller'
by
making
more
use
of
his
scissors,
especially
in
the
second
half.
Screenplay
throughout
the
first
half
is
racy
enough
to
keep
you
interested.
But
it's
the
second
half
that
spoils
the
fun,
for
it
gets
way
too
slow
for
a
thriller.
Debutant
director
Sakthivel
Perumalsamy's
brave
attempt
of
selecting
a
complex
script
has
to
be
appreciated.
But,
it's
his
lacklustre
execution
that
lets
Urumeen
down.
Overall
View:
With
an
interesting
plot,
Urumeen
looks
promising
on
paper
but
a
topsy-turvy
narration
aided
by
an
ordinary
screenplay
could
leave
you
in
a
state
of
chaos,
which
might
in
turn
evoke
discontent.
