SAMAR

SAMAR

Theatre : Aluva Matha
Showtime & Date : 3.00pm, 19-01-2012
Status : About 20%


Director Thiru once again joins with Vishal after his debut hit THEERATHA VILAIYAATTU PILLAI, a mass entertainer. This time he takes a deviation from routine tamil formula. The result is SAMAR.




Story
Shakthi(Vishal) goes to Bangkok after his lover(Sunaina) sents him air tickets three months after love breakup with him. At airport, he meets Maya(Trisha). At Bangkok, he faces strange things & rest is what is happening to him & how he resolves that.

Performances
Vishal gives a controlled performance, something different from his routine formula films(leave AVAN IVAN). Trisha gives an impressive performance, not a routine just for songs heroine this time -  a well written role which she did with 100% perfection. Sunaina in her cameo was ok. Rest of the cast - Chakravarthy, Manoj Bajpai, Jayaprakash.. did their part well.

Songs & BGM
Music by Yuvan Sankar Raja disappoints. Except Samaran & Azhago Azhagu, no other song impresses. Azhago Azhagu was the only well picturised song. BGM by Thaman disappoints.

Technical
Nothing great to rave about. Editing could have been a lot better.

Script & Direction
Both departments were handled by Thiru. Basic thread was inspired from hollywood flick THE GAME. Script was a haf baked one. First half created the expectation only after protaganist starts to Bangkok. The initial scenes & song were just part of commercialisation. Till interval though enjoyable, lacks thrill & speed to a great extent. Second half lacked the thrill & climax was predictable. Still Watchable because of actors. Direction could have been a lot lot better. Song were speedbreakers.

On the whole a somewhat different attempt & one time watchable
Not everyone's cup of tea


Verdict : One time Watchable
BO Verdict : Average
