Status : Balcony 50%, FC 20-25%


After a long gap, director T.S.SureshBabu is back in tinseltown with his new movie KANYAKUMARI EXPRESS. This time he tries the new method of filmmaking which Prashanth Mambully introduced in malayalam with his debut film BHAGAWAN starring Mohanlal, shoot only limited scenes & make movie a lengthy one by showing it repeatedly.



Story
MohanShankar IPS(SureshGopi) is on leave after the failure of a mission. He leaves to Kanyakumari where his enemies got killed one by one. If someone who saw the movie, please post the story as comment. I didn't find anything like that.

Performances
SureshGopi as MohanShankar was usual. Babu Antony improved in voice modulation but his acting was wooden only. Jagathy was good. Bheeman Raghu was DGP was funny & good. Rest of the cast Shanavas, Baiju, Urmila Unni, Sarayu, KiranRaj, Krishna.......had nothing much to do. Heroine debutant Gowri was horrible.

Songs
Music by Sharath was horrible. SureshGopi sang the only song, so no comments. The song reminded me the end credits song of movie Bhagawan.

Technical
Everything was bad. Editing was very very bad. Donmax, we agree that u know a set of effects to edit the films. But make sure that  you are using the techniques at the right movie & at the right scenes.

Script & Direction
Dennis Joseph was a promising name in yesteryears. His recent scripts proves one thing. The twists in his screenplay can be effectively presented onscreen by him only, remember Thudarkkadha & Appu. Direction NO COMMENTS. If you are planning to direct any more movies, please understand the script first.

Verdict : ESCAPE
BO Verdict : Super Flop


Whenever SureshGopi appeared as COP onscreen, the movie had a minimum entertainment guaranteed, atleast in some scenes.
But ithorumaathiri COP-le padamaayipoyi

BheemanRaghu acts as a la henchman police officer to Babu Antony's character. Don't know how Bheeman Raghu fans will tolerate this & how Babu Antony fans will celebrate this. But Bheeman Raghu was superb with his gestures & style.


SureshGopi was given a usual intro scene & Babu Antony was given an intro in which he gets down from a computer generated helicopter. But the best intro scene in the movie was for Bheeman Raghu as DGP opening the door of his car. 

Movie started with title SUPERSTAR SURESHGOPI in&as ACTION KING BABU ANTONY & team in KANYAKUMARI EXPRESS
