Uff!finally here is the much touted Rajnikanth's tamil/telugu ( in telugu its called Kathanayakadu) version of Kadha Parayumbol. Well why do I say Rajnikanth's version?Well thats what director P.Vasu is trying to convey through this movie.After actually comitting harakiri with Chandramukhi ( rip off Manichitrathazhu- a modern classic) , he returns here to commit an even bigger crime with Kuselan.
For those who dont know the tale by now, Pasupathy is a poor barber in a village living with his wife Meena & 3 kids. He is a man of principle and due to this is living in hard conditions.His rival is Vadivelu who is street smart.One day life changes for everyone in the village when a film crew arrives for shooting with none other than Rajnikant as part of the cast.Word somehow spreads out that Pasupathy is an old friend of Rajni & so all of a sudden people start getting close to him with the hope of being able to reach out to Rajni.
When Pasupathy fails to reach out to Rajni, people start ridiculing him.Thats when the best part of the movie i.e the climax arrives. Delivering the key note address at the local school's function, Rajni speaks emotionally about his long lost friend & later there is a happy ending.The positives of the movie are only Pasupathy & the climax. Rajni in an extended special appearance gets to do some regular stuff, but this time most people would only remember him for the climax.
Comedy by Vadivelu, M.S.Bhasker, Livingston etc appears crude.There are a lot of people like Nayanthara ( P.Vasu focusing purely on her anatomy), Mamta Mohan Das,Vijayakumar, Nasser,Prabhu etc who have all been wasted. Music by G.V.Prakash Kumar is nothing praiseworthy. All in all its worth a watch for only those who havent watched the original.And for those who are going based on the hype the movie has generated on account of Rajnikant- you are in for a disappointment.
Rating-2/5
