Suda Suda Bajji

You would be wondering for the title. Bajji after cooking, immediately when you have with chutney with the hot smoke moving around it, that too in this type of climate in Chicago. Hmm..Sorgam inga thaan. Similarly, just now I watched Ponniyin Selvan & writing this post. Just to add masala, hooked up this title.

The movie Ponniyin Selvan has the ingredients of Ravi Krishna, Gopika, Praksh Raj, Revathy, music by Vidhyasagar and directed by Radha Mohan. The movie is a soft drama, which I personally enjoyed. The movie is bit slow at times but the director has managed to play well & make the audience to feel "what next?” There are 2 fights & one song, which completely do not fit in the movie. But the director is not to be blamed. Truly you can see it was the pressure on him to add the commercial items. Except these, the movie is natural & very soft. It’s a movie which you can watch once at leisure.

Radha Mohan after an appreciable debut knock in Azhagiya Theeyae has once again proved his way of story telling. There are certain places where you tend to be reckless. But still the movie makes the audience to sit & watch for the next sequence. Radha Mohan can fasten up his screen play with more interesting sequences in his upcoming projects & would definitely have a clear way ahead.

Ravi Krishna has done his role quite well. But still he has to improve a lot in his body movements. He seems to be very stiff when walking & dancing. The scope for him in the movie is huge & could have utilized even better. But still one cannot completely ignore his contributions. Lot of home work is to be done when given such a character. Since, the movie completely revolves on him.

Gopika, what should I say about her? Just I was watching her with eyes wide-wide open. She is pretty & looks cute in the movie. For the given character she has performed well & clearly understood her boundaries. She is improving day by day. Do you think, I was mentioning here about her acting? After watching her in “Kana Kanden”, I am watching her in this movie. I did not have much idea when she acted in “Biograph sorry Autograph”. Then in “4 Students”, I noticed that she dances well in the famous Jassie Gifts' "Lajja vathiye". In “Kana kanden” she improved in her way of acting. Here she has improved her face value. Like Bharathiraja says in his intro speech of his movies, I can say "En keralathu payingeeleye!" I can understand dudes what you think. Only 4 lines are written about the hero but for heroine this many lines :-) Kanna "What you think is not what you get !!"

Prakash Raj, I think due to personal relationship with the director, he has accepted to do the role. I should say he had a better performing role in “Azhagiya Theeyae”.
Revathy & other crew have performed well as per their characterization. Music by Vidhayasagar, I am not very sure that he has given the same amount of his work in this movie as he did in Chandramukhi. I can hear some of the songs as heard some where before. Still not a bad piece from him.

A movie you can enjoy with your family. A soft, sweet & bit slow moving drama. Another good one from Radha Mohan.
