I (ஐ, Tamil; 2015)
Many recommended that I should watch this Kollywood outing which they say is different from the usual fare. I disagree.
Throughout the film, I had the recurrent déjà vu that I had seen this and that. This 49 year old hero (Vikram aka John Kennedy Victor aka Chiyaan), is saying that he is no push over and appears with body toned and muscle contours chiselled out to perfection and have no qualms of exhibiting it. Nevertheless, his age shows in the form of crow feet and peri-orbital wrinkles. Just like his previous outing (Anniyan comes to mind), he acts as a deformed hunched back (ala Notre Dam) with neurofibromatosis-like papules.
And the plot of vengeance involving calculated and varied manner of getting is so overdone.
Perhaps the youngsters who throng cinemas again and again and burn the ticket collections must be mesmerised with the gaudy display of props, display of the female and male anatomy, the elaborate preparation of set dances with various motifs, the picturesque poster colour sceneries of China and the songs with alien lyrics and incomprehensible meanings.
A lowly fanatical fan gets all excited when he gets the chance to meet and work with his idol advertisement model. Even both are different poles of social strata, they click. With her usual pair, pulling out from her team after she declined her sexual advances, the socially awkward fan, Lingesan @ Lee (Vikram) is roped to fill the gap. Along the way, he makes many enemies. And Vikram has a hideous metamorphosis. The rest of the story tells us in a non-linear fashion his transformation and reason for revenge.
A lovey-dovey romantic thriller for the young fans and the young at heart. One liner wise cracks from Lingesan's side-kick (Sandanam) tickles the ribs moderately. A totally Tamil language challenged pretty faced glamour actor Amy Jackson gets along the show dancing along to the tunes of AR Rahman's forgettable tunes and lip-synced dialogues.
Kudos to the make-up artists and the prosthetic team who did a good job at giving hideous faces and body parts to the hero and the villains after his calculated payback.
