Paiya (Movie Review)

Hmmm....the agony of sitting alone in an almost empty audi at PVR, Gurgaon...on a hot Thursday noon wasn't felt today...maybe coz of the movie's edge of the seat narration....or maybe coz....there...were..afterall...a few people watching the movie...other than the Hindi speaking Nepali ushers...
To be frank...I was very much excited about the movie...coz of its music and Karthi's presence...
Music plays a huge role in luring the viewer to the theatre...and this movie is a classic example...Yuvan Shankar Raja's scores played a pivotal part in dragging me to the cinema hall (I had to cut my college today...)...as well as plying me to the seats even between passing moments of boredom and draggery!
The best one being Thuli Thuli Mazhayai.....followed by poongatre Poongatre and Adada Mazhaida...
Now the story.....well..again its a typical Tamil action flick! The Hero is nothing less than a superhero who can get the hell outta bunch of big fat hooligans...all for the selfless sake of a girl....who in this particular movie is a very ugly looking TAMMANA BHATIA!!....It starts with the Hero falling in LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! and his underrated over-reactions to get another glance of her....a song....then coincidentally meeting her....stuck in a loop of unwanted events....a few solo-fights with a group of gundas....the hero beating everyone up!...single handedly..not to forget...awesome fight sequences....and in the end...the Hero stands tall....and his friends reveal his heart to the girl....HAPPY ENDING!

Karthi plays the HERO here...tammana his lady love....a few friends...and 2 villains....one being Tammana's to-be in-laws...and other being Milind Soman n his men ...with whom Karthi had met out mercilessly in Mumbai...a few yeas ago....
They set out on a car journey from Bangalore...to Mumbai....where Tammana believes to find shelter at her grandmother's home....and on the way....the BADDIES come face to face with the two....(errr...its karthi who does the fighting!) while Tammana keeps weeping in the backseat.....looking ugly...n tainted! God! what has happened to her...how beautiful did she look in AYAN with Karthi's bro Suriya!....
With a few expected twists and turns....finally the two groups of villains unite...and finally find the duo....and the climax is shot on a street in Mumbai....and as hoped...Karthi gets the hell outta everyone!....
and finally...within a minute of the climax...the movie ends with Karthi's friends revealing to tammana about his feelings for her...blah blah blah....
That's the story in a nutshell....
Technically ....a treat....Visually....even a better treat....performance wise Karthi does well as the angry young romantic action figure....the villain frm andhra is ok...while Milind Soman struggles....Tammana seems to b dragged out of a hospital through out the movie....even the high energy ADADA MAZHAIDA felt piteous..colz of Tammana's presence...The music was AWESOME.......the chemistry sucked!...the action sequences were over the top...yet excellently pulled off....Karthi does well as the hearty heartless angry action figure....editing is quite remarkable....
Overall the movie is worth watching....entertaining... The only thing I couldn't understand is that...y do the films end so abruptly? Its a question for Mr.Lingusamy (the director) to answer....
My Rating - 3 out of 5.......hmm.....+for Karthi's charms n action....-1 for Tammana's laundering presence

Mere Bina (Lyrics, English Translation)

मेरे बिना (Mere Bina) CROOK OST Music - Pritam Singer - Nikhil D'Souza Lyrics - Kumaar MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections A very romantic western number by new comer Nikhil D'Souza. Pritam has crooned Pop hits by Darius and Enrqiue alike to create a magical ballad that hooks you to its smoothness the moment the song starts. Nikhil sounds like Atif at times, but nevertheless is a promsing find!   Lyrics (English Translation) Mere Bina Rehne laga hun Teri hawaon me Behne laga hun I have started living without you... I have started floating in the breeze that you are jaane main kaise tera hua hu mujhe to lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hu Haan Tujhko jo paaya ahan To jeena aaya Ab ye lamha theher jaye tham jaye bas jaye hum Dono ke darmiyaaaaan I don't know how I have become yours I think I am the boon from your heart Yea! Now that I found you...I have learnt to live Now this moment may stop here at this very moment when the two of us are together...
