Pandi – Old middling theme
Churning the best of bests with a remake titled ‘Naan Avanillai’ and an astounding Anjathey, here comes Hitesh Jabak that hasn’t got anything to do with his success like these prior flicks. Nothing has been done by director to showcase of his appealing outperformance nor does his storyline. A mix of clichés on emotions and sentiments would be perhaps the best term of reviewing Pandi in a line. Do you have any good reasons to watch Pandi? Probably ‘No’ would be our prompt and we have good reasons for it.
Get-going with review first, we will later pinpoint the best plus and attributes that draws back this flick. An establishing shot of Pandi (Raghava Lawrence) performing nickel-and-dime jobs in Dubai and none of pennies earned does make any sense for him, since he sends all his remuneration to his family residing in a village of Tamil Nadu. A convincing flashback reveals that Pandi was nobody but a carefree youth bawled out his father. Despite his irresponsibility in most of his family issues, his mother (Saranya) has her love bestowed on him to the peak. However, its Sriman Pandi’s elder brother happening to be the apple of his father’s eyes. Parallel tracks of this flick have something special for who feel Sneha as matinee idol for she has a grand fiesta of glamorous treat. A cop’s daughter is the role she dons and followed by couple of encounter these nippers do fall in love. Reverting with lots of oppositions, Sneha walks out from her house.
Meanwhile, things are complicated when Sriman elopes with large sum of money two days prior to his sister’s marriage. And it’s a great time for protagonist to bring down spotlights on him when he arranges for a loan for his dad and has the marriage performed. For paying off the debts, he fleets to Dubai where the film begins. With elated moods, getting back to his hometown Pandi that his mother is dead. It’s not just an emotional quotient, but indeed a mysterious ride when he gets to know it wasn’t a natural death, but a murder. Set on the foot of trapping the manslayer and seeking vengeance forms crux of the story.
Raghava Lawrence can better continue with his career as an actor, if he vows not to imitate the gestures of Superstar Rajnikanth. Well, as of his choreography, it’s a great treat of delight and excitement that he delivers. “Sneha! Please don’t try with something you can’t do” and she makes you feel this when you see her on glamorous aspects. Not so appealing are looks and better she can get stuck to homely roles or something on powerful characters.
Each of the performers breathing lives on their characters have their decent job done and Director Madhucharan would have felt simply cool directing this film. Because, there aren’t any scenes that are really new for the audiences and storyline itself takes us back to mid 80s, where similar sort of flicks were churned out.
Sri Kanth Deva a master of Kuthu songs failed to deliver an enamoring musical score especially with melodies. But he holds the credit of spoiling the best evergreen romantic tune of ‘Maasi Masam’ in the name of remix.
As a whole, Pandi carries nothing in special and Madhucharan next time you make a movie, spend time to fixing a story that hasn’t been already made. The film is a great fiesta for frontbenchers and disaster for elite groups.
