Basking in the success and popularity of his dialogue in 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa', 'VTV' Ganesh has almost single-handedly "created" this film, right from the production to scripting and acting. The cameos of Silambarasan and Santhanam added more commercial assets to the film, but was this film worth the wait and watch ?
Make no mistakes about it, the whole film is about 'VTV' Ganesh and more importantly, it is only about 'VTV' Ganesh ! He does what can be expected from him but a tiny surprise in the film, is his tackling of a serious role and some emotional sequences. How much impact his acting had on the film, though ? Zero ! And its just insane to think that a very talented actress of Meera Jasmine's caliber was just wasted for no reason at all ! Silambarasan and Santhanam had extended cameo roles in the film. The former played the cool dude role with a touch of arrogance whereas the latter failed in a big way to make any sort of impact on the film ! Besides them Andrea, editor Anthony, art director Rajeevan, singer Ujjaini, Mayilsamy, K.S Ravikumar, R.Pandiarajan and Swarnamalya had meaningless cameos and roles, in the film.
The biggest shock of the film, is the inclusion of some of the best technicians of the industry. Rafiq and Nithya handled the costume department and sufficed the need of the film. Rajeevan's art direction was simple and neat. Nothing extraordinary or significant enough to hold our attention. Anthony has tried his best in making the film racy, but alas, the screenplay is so poor, his editing seems to be non-existent ! Cinematographer R.D Rajashekar has tried his best to score in his department wherever he can, but the insipid direction did not inspire him in anyways and most of his shots are just pretty lukewarm for his high standards.
Dharan Kumar's scores are quite average, to be honest. "Appa Tucker" was shot on 'VTV' Ganesh and Santhanam, in a music video style, with plenty of lighting and a group of sexily-clad dancers. "Avan Ivan" is a bit song of 'VTV' Ganesh working as a bartender in a swanky pub. "Cute Aana" is a montage song shot on 'VTV' Ganesh and Swarnamalya, which was picturized in Singapore. "Kutty Payale" was sung by Silambarasan and was shot on him, 'VTV' Ganesh and Meera Jasmine in London, which had locations of brown color palette. "Shuklam Baratham" is a situational bit song shot on Meera Jasmine. "Pattampoochi" sung by 'VTV' Ganesh himself, was shot on him and is a pathos song. Dharan's background score was a little better than his songs, and if it was to be a better film, his score would have been more appreciated.
'VTV' Ganesh takes the credits for story, screenplay and dialogues whereas Vincent Selva dons the role of director. What Vincent Selva did, is truly a puzzling question because, apparently there seems to be no need of a director for such a script ! It's astonishing to note of 'VTV' Ganesh's bravery to invest money, by producing a film on his own, without even the basic knowledge of scripting and writing ! In the opening credits, he gives a note saying the film is a partial inspiration of his own life, but nothing seems to be interesting at all ! There's no cohesion in screenplay, no synergy among the artistes, there's no continuity in the flow of proceedings, nor any logic/sense in the script !
'Inga Enna Solludhu' - Ludicrousness, "movified" !
