hunt,go play!!

this weekend yours truly had a brainwave...and we the family decided to watch a
movie.it is extremely diffcult to convince pa to go for a movie as the only genre
of movie he will watch is comedy and that too in tamil!.
the last hindi movie he watched was mbbs and that too on our way to goa in the
volvo. in theatre it must have been chahchi420 (yes that antique tamil
remake..starring kamal).
so i finally convinced them all and we went to the movie vettaiyadu vilaiyadu
( hunt, play...word to word) ..as it was running in the nearby multiplex and we
had nothing else to do.

the movie starring padmashri kamala haasan, jothika,prakash raaj..and a host of

new faces...including heroine#2 and the antagonists begins with a local goon who
bears an uncanny resemblance to my cousin vasanth commanding his henchmen to bring
dcp raghaavan's eyes to him ( omg not another gulti action thriller
please....where people inevitably end up killing their arch foes to avenge the
rape of their sister..( thangachhi paasam types i mean))!
surprise surprise ..immediately comes the hero and then some histrionics
follow...with the hero bashing up the goons with nonchalant ease..bringing up the
credits for the movie...and in the background booms harris jeyaraj's song...with
lotsa rap...(ughh!!...blaaze..u're gonna be bashed up for introducing this trend
in indian movies...)
'another day in the life of a police officer'..thus starts the movie...
the entire movie is about two psychopaths who believe they are the best doctors in
the world but who cannot stand anybody who doesn't give a fu*k**g hoot to
them..and so kill them (how so very simple..nai..if you don't like the current
boyfriend of your ex-..just slit his throat...amen!!)....and how namma ooru police
mama vanquishes them. the chase hots up when the daughter of dcp of madurai
prakashraaj's severed finger is found hanging outside their residence...the chase
takes raghavan to newyork and in the process meets jothika...with a healthy
friendship taking roots.
the movie is stylish in most parts and the actors carry out their parts with
ease.thankfully there is no overacting. kamal haasan gives another finely etched
out performance and makes you wonder at the level of commitment that shows through
the character. the srks and company only need to watch this one to understand how
one can win over the audience with subtle acting minus all the hamming and hee-
hawing. jothika also acts ( actually..). as a mother of a child and an abused
wife whose husband leaves her for another woman...( the name of the other woman is
same as yours honey....if u happen to read this!!)...she actually makes u feel
sorry for her.there is a certain amount of grace in their friendship and romance
which is heartwarrming.
special mention is to be made of the two villains who are beliavable in their
roles as demented geniuses.
the way kamal proposes marriage...both the times...is funny though effective...(
wishful thinking dude!!).. there are thankfully no dandanakka danakkunakka
dappangutthu songs and the cinematography is attractive..
on the flipside, the background music is too loud...( sometimes it grates on your
ears) and the movie could definitely do with some crisp editing as the movie sags
especially close to the intermission.there are too many songs...and especially the
item song..with the fuckall watever khan...is not very pleasing..(et tu gautham..i
mean ramya krishnan was passable and the song thoodu varuma rocked ). also the
details of the murders are gory and gross...specially the mutilated bodies...the
rape scenes..the severed finger are not for the faint hearted!!
and harris jeyaraj refuses to bring in new tunes..from minnale to vv the tunes
don't show much variety dude!!
i wonder why everyone except the lead actors wear hair colour...i mean from the
sidekick of the side thug to jothika's sister...why this horrendous attraction???
and the product placements start getting on your nerve..especially the hello moto
ringtone!!

all in all i would say, in these joharesque times vv is definitely worth a

watch..and the director carries the story of the honest and upright police officer
from his second film kakka kakka with considerable ease.except for the occassional
snafu..the movie works on you and so does the music..especially 'nilave velli
velli nilave'..
go watch!!
