Uthamaputhiran : The Great one
The duo had created a similar impact in ‘Yaradi Nee Mohini before’. Though their chemistry failed to click in the second outing ‘Kutti’, the director-actor combo seems to have taken off from where they left in ‘Yaradi Ne Mohini’.
A cool and a casual Dhanush, Genelia with her girl-next-door-looks, an expressive Vivekh and a bunch of apt star cast make the film a memorable watch.
Though the movie has several sequences that are cliched and too predictable, a creditable show by the characters and presentation makes it engrossing. Dhanush knows the knack of picking right scripts and it is evident from his recent films that are quite different from each other. Genelia is tailor-made as Pooja. She is as usual funny, witty and brings innocence to the character. A bubbly Genelia gives her best getting under the skin of the role easily.
Vivek is funny as emotional Ekambaram. He speaks less and makes us laugh more. Bhagyaraj, Ashish Vidyarthi, Jayaprakash Reddy and Mayilsami chip in with their best while the likes of Rajalakshmi, Ambika and Rekha do give a decent performance.
The movie has catchy tunes by Vijay Antony especially the song ‘Ussumu Larsay…’. The re-recording is quite apt for the theme. On the whole, ‘Uthamaputhiran’ is a movie that it entertaining and feel-good from frame one. Though little lengthy, it is a film that’s worth a watch this Deepavali.
