He is known more for slick and stylish films. Gautham Vasudev Menon is back with his next. Yennai Arindhaal
has the typical stamp and touch of Gautham which is the third of the
cop story movie coming from him after Kaakha Kaakha and Vettayadu
Vilayadu which were runaway hits. This is not a different movie with
surprising twists in store for the viewers. A fast paced screenplay
helped by the screen presence of Ajith makes the film a passable and
watchable one.
Sathyadev who is very close to his father ( Nazer in a cameo) aspires to become a doctor but fate has something else in store for him. The film follow the life of Sathyadev from his young age to his present state. Beginning from a flight journey where Satya meets Thenmozhi (Anushka) and follow him from where an undercover cop story is developed with all those cat and mouse game that are common in Gautham Menon films.
The first half is executed very well but the latter half seems to be an extended one. Lengthy at two hours and fifty minutes, a better second half could have made the film in a better shape. Even though action is the predominant factor here, romantic track between Ajith and Trisha is one of the major highlight of this film but there is also another romantic angle between the hero and Anushka's character that lacked charisma and looked unconvincing on screen.
Direction from Gautham Menon is not bad as he follow the pattern he is familiar with. Cinematography definitely comes to the forefront in giving the film a rich and vibrant feel. Background score and music from Harris Jayaraj is a huge factor here contributing immensely. Editing had its problems with many scenes getting chopped off giving an incomplete feel to many scenes.
Coming to the acting, its an Ajith show all the way. Though the director has tried his best in reducing the mass elements for a superstar, Ajith is able to make his presence felt through his classy looks and dialogue delivery. Among the heroines, though Anushka had more screen presence, it was Trisha who came out as the ultimate winner. Hardcore fans of the actress would have definitely wanted to see more of her in the movie. Vivek in a different avatar as cop Richard did his part. His one liners didn't fare badly and delivered the results expected. Arun Vijay as Victor portrayed the antagonist role brilliantly. Baby Anikha, Nasser, Suman are also part of the cast.
Though the film is not upto the expected level, Ajith and Gautham factor and a sweet but a light romantic track works positively for the film to a great extent saving it from sinking. It is definitely a watchable paisa vasool flick and I go with three out of five for Yennai Arindhaal.
Rating - 3 / 5
