Inikku, I saw AARU, it’s a low risk movie, considering the bad movies ive seen, I technically shouldn’t have problems sitting through this one.

Expectations

After watching the trailers and being told that it’s a gangster flick, my expectations dropped, too many gangster flicks in tamil cinema, its almost like the only backdrop is the gangster.

Hari is the director, so padam bore adikathu nu oru chinna aasai


Result

Padam is just another gangster flick,

Fast screenplay, doesn’t drag at any point, so its entertaining.
Story And Screenplay

(imagining what the director must have thought and done )

a)hero is a rowdy

b)second half is the fight between the villain and his boss

c) need to find a reason for this fight, options are

kaadhal - ada thotti jaya and gilli madri

kasu – hero ku appo 48 karat manasu nu solal mudiyathu,

pannera velai pudikama? - ada, idu old style appa

edavathu pudhusa venumae, enna pannelam (ippo thalai sooringings, in RED style)

eureka - avanoda aala kolai pannara madri kaatalam, avanukku droham pannara madri, appo sentiment a ladies pappangal. (me: ada paavingala, evloav sandai pakka mudiyama ladies ellam vara mattangal, inda oru minute sentiment pakka mottum varuvangala??)

So that’s what happens, Surya fights his boss in the 2nd half because his boss betrays him, in between he falls in love with Trisha.

The story is non existent, but the movie entirely depends on the fast screenplay, which doesn’t disappoint.

Hari and Dharani seem to have worked out a success formula based on fast screenplays, and no stories, they are ideally suited to make the masala movies.

Acting

Surya has acted well, suited the role, annal appo appo nandha madri act pannirukkar,


‘All actresses are models, but not all models are actresses’

I hope for the good of viewers like me, that Trisha understands that and stops acting.
She has the talent for screwing up an already non existent role. idu eppidi irukkuna, oru padathula, chumma oru scene ku vara extra, role-a nalla panama irukkarathu, anda madri irukku Trisha oda acting.

Asish vidyarthi as the villan has done his usual role, ella padathu-la pannera madri dhaan acting inda padathula-um

Music

Devi Sri Prasam, if u don’t stop composing music, I will lodge a complaint against you with the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board. Wondering why? Where else can I complain against noise pollution?

6) tamil cinema la everytime one educated girl will fall for rowdy, I don’t understand why

Conclusion

Whats good bout the movie : fast paced, good screenplay

Whats bad bout the movie : too much cheri language and violence (for some) and TRISHA, ava romba kodumai, I wud rather prefer Chinese torture to watching her act.

Watch the movie if ur in the mood for entertainment and enjoy masala padams.
