| MUST WATCH! IT WILL BE A CRIME TO MISS THIS! |
Its been quite some time since we last got to see equally refreshing rom coms in BOSS engira Bhaskaran and Siva Manasula Sakthi. The energy in the theatre hall, the environment that the film creates, say it all. The longer version does full justice to its successful shorter version that came under the same title. Having seen and enjoyed the short film sometime back, I had my doubts if it was possible to give out an equally, good full feature film. Watching the film, you come out a convinced man. The entire cast save the lead actors from the short film have been retained with a few additions wherever required.
The film has Arun (Siddharth) telling us about his love life, the events that eventually lead to his break-up with Paarvathi (Amala paul) and simultaneously giving us lessons as to where all people generally mess up or make mistakes when in love as the main plot. I can vouch that they aint wrong when it comes to boys, but you’ll have to ask one and find out yourself, when it comes to girls. The sub plots involving the parents of the lead pair and that with their friend in Pondicherry is all very very nicely done.
The team has cashed in well on the short film staying true to it till the very end. Humour is sprinkled in heavy doses, having you in splits more often than not. Needless to say, music has a say throughout the film. The songs are placed good ensuring that they don’t hamper ther pace of the film. The romantic-cum teasing score in those scenes involving the parents, music by S Thaman, man, wow! The lyrics, by Madhan Karky & director Balaji Mohan, of the opening song ‘Paarvati Paarvati’ play true to the times we live in. Azhaipaaya, the melody number, stands out. We’ll have to wait and see as to how director Balaji Mohan, whose done an excellent job here, manages expectations next time around, which will expectedly be ultra-high.
The chemistry between the lead pair is riveting, to say the least, from the first scene to the last. Siddharth excels, his expressions coming to the fore, though such roles aint the first time for him. (konjam ishtam konjam kashtam in telugu). Amala paul is no less, both in looks and acting. The cartoons on the background during the credits at the beginning of the film begs to be mentioned. The lead actor talking directly to the camera (read audience/us) is another impressive point.
KSY has its flaws too. There are scenes which are very obvious. And then there’s the lessons the hero gives you but fails to show the connections between those lessons and his love life, supposedly from where he learnt those lessons. But who cares? Go have fun. I’ll be damned if you’ll not want to watch it a second time or third for that matter. 85/100
