Ok you may have seen numerous rip-offs of Hollywood & other foreign action movies in Tamil Cinema.But could you have imagined watching a desi version of Fast & the Furious?Well for that aspect alone I would say Bravo to the husband-wife directorial team of Pushkar & Girija.Replace foreign locales & fast cars with Chennai and auto rickshaws & voila- you have the long delayed release-Oram Po.
Aarya plays an autodriver who competes in the illegal autorickshaw racing circuit of Chennai & is a champion for the same.His friend is Lal who plays Bigle, a big auto rickshaw service specialist.Aarya & Lal usually compete with another rickshaw service specialist-John Vijay who plays an enormously funny character called Son of Gun.
Aarya's rickshaw is mortgaged to a sethji& in order to repay the loan he & lal decide to compete against Son of Gun in a race.Aarya has an affair with Pooja ,a biriyani seller who is also Lal's fiancee.The night before the big race Aarya & Pooja have a major tiff regarding their wedding & so during the race Aarya loses his concentration & thus loses.
Following this Aarya & Lal also drift apart as news of Aarya's affair with Pooja ( thanks to Son of Gun) reaches Lal.Running parallel to this is the story of some missing precious stones of a smuggler.So what happens next?Do Aarya & Lal unite?What happens to Son of Gun is all told in the rest of the tale.
Overall its a decent attempt, quite fast paced & lively.Performances of all the cast members are good particularly John Vijay.G.V.Prakash Kumar's music is quite suiting the requirement of the movie.Take a bow- Pushkar & Giri- quite a decent debut movie.
Rating-2.5/5
