Kollywood and commercialism always go hand in hand. After getting noticed for his good performances in Thottal Poo Malarum and Magesh, Saranya, Matrum Palar – both total love stories – Shakthi thought it the right time to select a film with an exciting screenplay; hence he is back with Aattanayagaan; Ramya Nambeesan plays the female lead.
Realizing that a feel-good film would create fireworks in the box-office, especially it is released in vacation period, director Krishnaraam and Shakthi have teamed up to present a commercial entertainer which is pleasant and entertaining. At a time when big budget flicks and multi-starrers rule the roost in Kollywood, film maker Krishnaraam has opted to go elsewhere. Aattanayagaan from the prestigious Lakshmi Movie Makers banner is a full-fledged commercial entertainer.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
As like any other mass masala, it begins in a village and ends up in a city with bloodbath.
Shakthi has Santhanam giving him company and as usual, the comedian comes up with rib-tickling one-liners. Remya Nambeesan plays Shakthi’s lady love. Then there is a host of baddies Shakthi has to settle scores with.
The film is about Lingam (Shakthi), an engineering graduate whose only aim is to work in the United States, the energetic Radhika (Remya Nambeesan) who is very much concerned about her sister’s (Meera Vasudev) marriage and Chandran (Aadhitya), Lingam’s elder brother.
THE PLOT
Lingam (Shakthi), an engineering graduate, is the youngest son of the family and he does nothing but spending all his time with his friends. He is chided by his father (Nasser) for that. Lingam has only one aim in life: To work in the United States! His elder brother Chandran (Aadhitya) owns a big software company in Hyderabad and Lingam is often compared to him by the family. Meanwhile Lingam meets
Radhika (Remya Nambeesan) and after few initial encounters, love blossoms between them. After a series of incidents, Chandran marries Radhika’s elder sister Indira (Meera Vasudev). When Lingam and Radhika go to Hyderabad to meet Chandra, they find that his brother is not a software engineer but a local don! Lingam decides to change his brother but will society and his enemies allow it? Watch out in Aattanayagaan!
THE PERFORMANCE
The Characters
Aattanayagaan has a perfect star cast; all the actors have performed well! Shakthi (director P. Vasu’s son) has given his career’s best performance. Interestingly, P. Vasu’s Telugu film Nagavaali and Aattanayagaan have graced theatres on the same day. In the film, he has tried his hands at comedy, romance, action and sentiments. The only thing he has to improve is emotions; the audiences sometime get a feel that he is trying hard to emote. Also in the song sequences, his body language reminds us of Vijay, Rajni and many other top actors, which should be avoided. Malayalam actress Remya Nambeesan has also given a neat performance. However her modern avatar during the song sequences doesn’t suit her. Santhanam and Lollu Sabha Jeeva provide the comedy factor and they succeed. Meera Vasudev has done her job well while Aadhitya stands out.
The Story
Aattanayagaan is a complete family entertainer for people of all ages. In short, it is a simple story made larger than life and told with a strong message of family values. Newcomer Krishnaraam has penned the story, screenplay and dialogues apart from direction. The film has a racy screenplay, realistic dialogues and an interesting story line. But in the second half, there are too many heroic sequences and the item song is an unnecessary addition. That the movie is directed by a debutant and there are no big stars in it is hardly evident, as you would be so glued to the film right from scene one. Aattanayagaan surely emerges as a surprise winner this vacation.
The Techniques
Music by Srikant Deva is perfect while cameraman Vijay Milton has taken special efforts to show the movie stylishly. In fact, he has used two different tones for the first and second halves of the film. Editing by Harshar is good and sleek while stunt choreographer Sundar has done a neat job.
THE VERDICT
If you are ready to forget some loopholes and game for a action-filled ride, Aattanayagaan (Man of the match) could be a wise choice to spend some quality time.
