ENGEYUM EPPOTHUM

ENGAEYUM EPPOTHUM

Theatre : Theni Krishna
Status : 50%
Showtime & Date : 6.15pm, 22-09-2011

How road accident change the lives of many is the crux of ENGAEYUM EPPOTHUM produced by Fox Star Studiios & director A R Murugadoss.



Story
Story begins with an accident between two buses. And the story unfolds in a nonlinear manner through the four characters travelled in those two buses - Kathiresan(Jai), Manimeghalai(Anjali), Amutha(Ananya) & Goutham(debutant Sarva)

Performances
Its the female leads who shines more than male characters. Anjali as boyish dominating lover was excellent & Ananya with typical village girl characteristics was superb. Jai as a middleclass good boy was good & debutant Sarva was promising. Rest of the characters did their part well.

Songs & BGM
Songs were catchy ones and well picturised except the second song Aarumasam featuring Jai which was picturised in a typical masala song model which was not at all fitting to the movie's total making style. BGM was superb especially for Jai-Anjali sequences

Technical
Cinematography was good and did an awesome work in road sequences. Editing was apt except the opening bus readying sequence.

Script & Direction
M.Saravanan handled both departments. Script was a refreshing one in narration with superb witty dialogues & refreshing sequences especially in Jai-Anjali episodes. Dialogues are one of the big plus points of the movie. Director had handled the story in non linear manner in an entertaining manner. The scene which will make us cry the most will be the episode of NRI father longing to see her five year daughter for the first time. Director could have picturised the second song in an interesting manner rather than following a usual tamil cinema formula. Also some of the sequences in second half were left untold, especially in Jai-Anjali sequence & Sarva sequence & why Ananya there in Chennai then and all. Saravanan definitely needs a special mention for making such a movie.

Nothing more to say a good first half and above average second half.

Verdict : Good
B O Verdict : Hit

After watching this movie, you'll drive carefully on roads.

Like director Shankar, Murugadoss also started funding for good movies.
