Arasangam – A big ticket indeed
Alas! This is not something we expected from Vijayakanth and Director Madhesh you prove of your fantabulous magic. Wondering what we are centering on? As you all know, clichés of a Vijayakanth’s films would be comprised of enormous annoying punch dialogues, polishing off hundred baddies at a time. Moreover, transforming bad scenarios or trapping terrorists would be our Captain’s tasks. But flicks sans these elements do push us to the pit of great shock.
Yeah! What can we say when none of these attributes are present in Arasangam? Can you term it as a hit? Obviously, a totally unexpected movie from Captain Vijayakanth has enthralled not just his fans, but others too. Director Madhesh with powerfully carefully crafted screenplay and characterizations has it all as a grand fiesta of suspense-thriller for you.
If you wanna know the most exciting part of the movie, yes we have it. You don’t have Vijayakanth’s intro neither with an unbelievable stunt or title song with grandeur.
As mentioned precisely, Arasangam has nothing to do with politics. Its about an officer Arivarasu (Vijayakanth) at Canadian Police Training Academy. Bounded with no complexities, his life goes smooth until his close friend who is also his brother-in-law Manoj (Arivarasu) goes missing followed by assassinations of scientists.
Arivarasu has to set on his foot of loosening the mysterious knot where the assassin (Rahul Dev) is brought into scene of mystery. But, this is not the end since there are lots of big shots involved.
Vijayakanth rather than getting depicted as a strong man hitting many gundas at a time, sending the bullets back to villain’s gun and unsuitable aspects is seen as a brilliant man who can emote well to the situations. Be it his body language, dialogue utterance, everything has been done in perfection.
Biju Menon has performed equally to that of Vijaykanth and credit goes to Madhesh for crafting powerful characters for them.
Navneeth Kaur as Aarthi has performed up to the expectations as Vijayakanth’s wife and so does Seril Brindo. Seril plays the role of Lara, an officer in Canadian Interpol Department where with her stunning looks and outfits brings out the best of emoting.
When it comes to music, Srikanth Deva dashes our hopes and most annoying part on him is that copying the exact signature tune of James Bond over here. Rocky Rajesh’s stunts are something that adds more to the positive aspects.
Valuating the film on whole, it’s a great surprise for all from Vijaykanth and hats off to Madhesh for making an excellent movie. Of course, the film has bit of traces of yesteryear Hollywood flick Hunted, but that’s not a big deal when you watch and enjoy this one.
If our Captain continues take up same sort of flicks and good themes, he is sure to make it big in Kollywood.

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
Well.. I should say hats off to Vijaykanth!! for all the political drama and punch dialogues he leaves about inefficiency of politicians..!!
by making a movie during his political career isnt he the first one breaching what he preaches all the time?? does he consider his job as an MLA as something he does for freelance or charity? Isn’t his acting which is 100% a conmmercial venture (unless he is donating the proceeds to UNESCO) fully equivalent to a govenment servant running his private company during his official tenure?
we get angry when we go to a government office and see a government employee busy with his private chores or running his own venture, not attending to our duties. We cite tax payers money etc.. then what about Vijaykanth, who is elected by the people, who has pledged his 5 year tenure for the people (leave the cost of running the parliament, expenses for MLA’s paid by tax payer’s money)? Unless our great actor cites he is available even during his film shoots.. Well then our poor man has to travel all the way to Canada to reach his MLA (ofcourse the Arasangam preached by Mr. Vijayganth will fund all that)!! And above all irony he is vocal about citing inflation.. waste of expenditure and so on!!!
Oh.. i just forgot.. he needs to fund his political campaign after 5 years.. no wonder he needs to work hard in his movies so that he can continue to serve his beloved people!!!
