Movie Review : Vanakkam Thalaivaa

Producer: Anandan A C, Palanivel V
Director: Sakthi Parameshwar
Cast: Sathiyaraj, Vivek, Pranathi, Susan
Music: Deva

 
Debutante director Sakthi Paramesh has failed to give proper treatment to the film in spite of having good storyline. Hero of the film Sathyaraj’s double meaning dialogues and weak screenplay are a let down, as they failed to provide any logic. He has gone overboard at times in doing the character and spoiled the spirit of the film with lengthy dialogues.

Sathyaraj is seen with different costumes in this film too. He dresses as a police officer, like Michael Jackson and many more but they don’t match at all. Vivek along with Venniradai Murthy and Shakeela speaks lots of double meaning dialogues. In fact, Vivek should have chosen a better role.

In the film, Manickam (Sathyaraj) dresses like a sardar and kidnaps Mano's (Abbas) girl friend Divya (Susan). Mano tries to find out his lover’s whereabouts but Manickam escapes every time by putting on confusing dresses. Aruchamy (Vivek), a suspended police inspector from Pondicherry comes to the rescue of his friend Mano in tracing his lover. He works as a Manickam’s lorry cleaner and spot Divya’s hiding place.

But when Aruchamy and Mano enter the house with the police, Divya confesses that she doesn’t know Mano and has married Manickam. This shocks Aruchamy and Mano’s world. But Aruchamy later comes to know the truth behind all these incidents. Manickam's wife Ramya (Pranathi) was run down by drunken Mano’s car. But Mano concealed the incident by using wealth and money. So, Manickam and his sister-in-law Divya are doing their bit to teach Mano a lesson of his life.
 
Hero Sathyaraj looks weak and tired in the film. All his actions and behaviors are predictable. On the other hand, Abbas has a good role in the film. Susan and Pranathi are also fine. Vivek often goes overboard with double meaning dialogues but still he is the only saving grace of the film. There is nothing special in the technical aspects too. On the whole, the film is a failure. The director should have put more time on the script.
