ORU KAL ORU KANNADI (OKOK)

ORU KAL ORU KANNADI (OKOK)

Theatre : TVM Athulya
Showtime & Date : 6.10pm, 22-02-2012
Status : Housefull


Rajesh M, after the success of Siva Manasula Shakthi(SMS) & Boss Engira Bhaskaran(BEB) comes for a hatrick with Santhanam again in second lead & debutant Udayanithi Stalin in lead and Hansika Motwani as heroine. The genre of the movie is sane as that of director;s previous flicks - Mindless Comedy Flick



Story
Saravanan(Udayanithi Stalin), son of a yet to be a graduate mother(Saranya Ponvannan) and father who is a teacher. Saravanan falls in love with Meera(Hansika Motwani) at first sight itself. Though he proposes her, she refuse that. The rest is how he wins the love with terrific performance by his close friend Parthu(Santhanam)

Performances
Though a debutant, Udayanithi Stalin had a promising debut except in songs in first half, Akila song in second half solved that too in second half. Hansika Motwani was okay in looks, had some good moments in between, but the poor lipsync spoils the show at times. Saranya Ponvannan scores in her limited scenes.

Sneha in her cameo simply outshined Hansika in the flight episode. Arya & Andrea in their cameo couldn't make an impact as director's previous flick cameos by Jiiva in BEB.

Yes, its a Santhanam Show all the way. The witty oneliners, situational comedies, expressions, chemistry with Udayanithi everything made this movie a cool entertainer.

Songs
Music by Harris Jeyaraj was fine with Akila & Kadhal Butterfly being my picks. Picturisation of Akila was smart but the rest ones were boting & lengthy. Kadhal Butterfly song pictursation will remind us of SMS marriage song. BGM was fine at parts

Technical
Balasubramanian's camera was fine in Azhage song, rest were ok. Editing by Vivek Harshan needs to be a bit racy as the movie is about 3hr running time. Art direction had nothing much to mention

Script & Direction
Both departments were handled by Rajesh M itself. Rajesh this time too handled a wafer thin storyline to a comedy entertainer with lots to laugh. This time screenplay lags a bit in second half. Though nowhere near to SMS or BEB, the movie stills works because of packaging & Santhanam. At times, scenes looked similar to his previous movies. Direction was racy but could have been better when compared to his previous flicks.

On the whole a fast comedy entertainer.


Verdict : Timepass Fun Entertainer
BO Verdict : Hit
