Kuruvi – A fans Review

I have been a vijay fan since my 10th class… i have never missed any film of his.. and from kushi onwards i have always been watching the first show of his movies. I was there for the first show of the movie in Bangalore.. i am writing my opinion on the movie.

Dharani has disappointed me with a very fragile screenplay and unnecessary dialogues and larger than life stunts. I sincerely thought ATM was a superb film.. it was very good display of acting from an actor of Vijay’s stature.. we must really appreciate the way the negative character was pictured.. Look at kuruvi, the intro was larger than life.. (ok agreed it will go well with the fans)… and the race scene was very dramatic and predictable.. and the scene after the race reminded me of exactly the same scene from ghilli where the director’s name is shown..

The intro song is power packed and 20/10 for the dance in it. The scene in which he steals the diamond in a few seconds (reminded of Entrapment).. the director could have left the box blank rather than replacing with a kalkandu.. Jeeva (lollusabha fame) was an unnecessary character just to get beaten.. I can accept the larger than life stunts and things.. but why to back it all with an unnecessary lengthy dialogues. I just asked to myself what difference do i see in Perarasu and Dharani in this regard..

And music, i knew none of the songs were very good during the audio launch but i was expecting them to be good on screen.. disappointment there too.. the songs were positioned so predictably and trisha was used only for the songs.
Too many scenes were taken from Sivaji.. like when vijay asks vivek to touch one of the two fingers… there are more scenes which u will realize while watching..

Coming on to the positives.. Vijay’s acting and dance was good.. He has delivered as expected from the director. Vijay has always been a director’s hero. Here dharani had made him look very bad.. not that he has under performed.

Its time Vijay rethinks his strategy and come up with a nice movie next time. He is definitely capable of giving a better movie. Get away from this fragile mass oriented scripts. It doesn’t help his stature neways.
