Gajhini Review
summary
surya has short term memory loss, cant remember anything for more than 15 minutes, and uses a complex method to remember things. this happens because Asin is chased by some dadas, and when they kill her surya gets caught in the crossfire.
simple a sonna
take a mental illness,
add a dada angle
kill the heroine
hero takes revenge.
idu ellam mix panna Gajhini
My Views
1) opening scene for surya fight, sets tone tat its an action movie, aduku apporam, oru scene la the guy surya attacks namba Anniyan madri mudi ellam moonjiku moonadi vidaran, and camera captures it from anniyan angle, symbolica murudoss is saying that anniyan a thooka porathu inda padam!!
2)ryaz khan finally oru nalla police karana role pannirukkan, ella padathulum avan police a adipan, ingai he is the police karan
3)thotti jaya villian dhaan ingai main villian, angai katthina madri dhaan ingayum, annal enna, konjam english mix oda, plus wears suit and coat
4)asin intro song visualisation straight lift of jenifer lopez video
5)secondly the romantic angle seems like its got the KAKHA KAKHA hangover, ada style, but one of the best since that movie
6)vazakhama namba ooruu padathula the hero is involved in 420 velai, but here its asin
7)surya mental a act pannaratha partha, it seems a mix of aalavandan kamal and pithamagan vikram, mix panni oru pudhu kalaivai
8)ella scene la either surya is too stiff or kai nadangarathu, so i think he has loaded a half bottle of alcohol b4 stepping in front of the camera
9) the romantic interlude of surya not revelaing his identity is actually well shot, its one of the best since kakha kakha,
10)asinikku enough focus illai
11)X machi song is scary, nayanthara vara vara she stays only in 5 star hotels wen in madras, and producers foot the bill, free food nu she hogs, tat is visible around her waistline, she seems to give mumtaz competiton for waist line size
12)inda padathula oru BIG difference, ususally items numbers hang in the air, seperate from the main plot, ingai its been integrated into the plot
13)oru question, if surya has memory for only 15 minutes and his mind goes blank after that, how can he retain his driving skills, speech, and know what is a camera?
14)in the romantic interlude suttum vizhi song sets ellam partha it seems straight out of shankers boys (dating song) Salem A Chandrashekar is said to have encountred financial troubles, so left overs ella use pannengala?
15)murugadoss is shanker fan, climax fight la shanker anniyan la use panna panning camera techinque is used,
16) murugoss earlier film was wit vijaykanth, namba capi manna thottu pottu vecchi, thembuaaitu fight panuvar, ingai surya climax la shoulders ellam oru fancy rangela aatiduran, apporam thembu vandu fight panneran, innom capi hangover polai pola irukku murugadoss
17)second half the movie becomes a usual hero being chased by villain affair, kojam boring
18) oru maalai song is nice the visualisation i mean
19) Asin ku enough focus illai, adu dhaan konjam disappointing
20) the background score is good, the songs questionable, the background score and rerecoding were supposed to have taken time, and the effort is visible
Risk rating: Blue, Very watchable film (the first filmive given a blue rating for)
bottomline
konjam different effort nicely indianisd movie, memento a ulta panna gajnini, adu dhaan matter, but do go and watch its, it actually a nice movie compared to the usual stuff running now, and this movie marks the entry of surya into the big league
