7G - Rainbow Colony - A colorful view !

Recently, I watched 7G - Rainbow Colony directed by Selvaraghavan, music by Yuvan shankar raja, starring Ravi krishna, Sonia agarwal , Suman shetty & Co. The movie is all about an hero who is a road-side romeo enjoying his college days with his friends & how he turns into a person who identifies the talent in him & becomes commited in his life. As the movie's caption "A boy turning into man" is the baseline of the story. The hero comes up in life because of the strong motivation & influence of the heroine whom he loves so much. The director had screen-played this story in a youthful way as he had done before. What happens to them is the final climax of the movie.

The hero Ravi krishna is a new face. He is the younger son of A.M.Ratnam [Sri Surya Movies] who is a famous producer & producer of this film too. He has done the job for what he is for. Yes, though he is a fresh entrant he had tried to fit into the character. Also, no styles with hsh..hsh.. sounds though his father is the producer. In future, if he cares for good stories & does the job then there is lot of hopes for him. The smile/blush that he gives looks cute.

Sonia agarwal is the heroine & should be said as the character around which the entire story revolves. She had performed well & has proved that she is not an ordinary heroine who comes for 2 dance numbers & just peeps into the screen. In many places of the movies she had made us to say aDa.. One major set back for her is she keeps her face always very sad as if she is in search of something. But we must credit her as a part of the movie success.

One more character who has done well is Vijayan who comes as the father of the hero. He has acted very close to a true middle class father who has high hopes on their sons & hopes for his success. One scene which I liked the most is the pre & post reaction's that he gives when the hero shows the appointment letter to him. The reason he gives to his wife why he scolds his son very badly & after wards when his wife tells him to sleep he says "Podi! En payan Hero Hondale velai pakaran" resembles a perfect match with all the middle class father's in reality.

Selvaraghavan as a director has already established himself as a different & interesting narrator from his previous ones [Thulluvadho Illamai, Kadhal kondein]. This is the third one & was watched with high expectations. He has not let down neither him nor us. The movie is a third consecutive hit for him & has become an inevitable person in the tamil cinema arena. Though, there are lot of scenes which he could have ignored like the ones where the hero scolds his father with bad words & smokes/drinks continously, he has done the job well. In an interview, he said that this is his own true story that happened. As in the movie, our hero selvaraghavan has also come up in life & wish him to reach great heights in future.

The music has to get a special mention. Yuvan shankar has played excellent numbers in the movie. The background scores & songs had come up very well. Specially, Kana kanum kalangal.. & Ninaithu Ninaithu.. are the top melody ones. The movie gets a new dimension from his music. kudos to Yuvan!

Suman shetty who acts as a friend to the hero in the movie also gets a pat on his back. He has not done any separate comedy track. He has done comedy along the movie flow & also turns into character artist on demand in the movie. The alarm clock scene & the dance that he does over the stage outburst the audience with laughter.

7G - Rainbow colony is a colorful one with tiny black patches in it !
