After some smashing box office failures of the recent movies of Jeeva and Vinay, Initially 'Endrendrum Punnagai' had no expectations at all. After the songs got released, the expectation slowly started to grow. The songs went on to be a massive hit. Once the distribution rights got acquired by 'Red Giant Movies' the movie's expectation got up little more. Lets see what this movie is upto.
Cast: Jiiva, Vinay, Santhanam, Nasser, Trisha Krishnan, Andrea Jeremiah
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Cinematography: Madhie
Written and Directed by: I.Mueenuddin Ahmed
CAST:
'Endrendrum Punnagai' is all about the story of three friends. Jiiva , Santhanam and Vinay are some perfect choose for it. Jiiva as 'Gowtham' stands tall among the three [Performance - Based]. This is definetely one different Jiiva we would see in screen. The audience would have noticed Jiiva as a Romantic hero alone in his previous movies. In this movie, he takes up a role of a guy who hates women, which is pretty much opposite to his initial roles. He shows all the mixed feelings pretty perfectly with his expression- Happiness, Possessiveness, Frustration, Love etc., Such a matured role this is, for Jiiva.
Vinay as 'Sri' and Santhanam as 'baby' comes alongside as Jiiva's friends from childhood. Vinay perfectly fits into the role of a lover boy, who always has a passion of mesmerising women. His acting skill has got better in this movie. Santhanam is yet another strength to this film. His timing comedies makes the audience to burst into laughter. His magical comic dialogues takes the audiece through the first half of the film. In this film, santhanam has got a neat role as a friend apart from his comedies. These three men are rightly chosen.
Trisha Krishnan as 'Priya' plays the Lady-in-Lead role. She looks pretty much beautiful even after 10 years of her film career. She has got a silent romantic role in this film. In the first half, she has not got much to do with. The second half of the movie is all trisha's beauty and performance. She is not simply used for songs alone. She has got a great role to play in this film. Andrea Jeremiah comes in as a model for quite a few scenes alone. She has not got much to do in the film. Nasser plays the role of Jiiva's father. Initially, while we think nasser's role has got no importance at all, the veteran actor shows his importance in the second half towards the end of the film with his awesome acting skills. On the whole, the entire cast and crew has done a amazing work with what the director has expected from them.
CINEMATOGRAPHY AND MUSIC:
Cinematography is being done by R.Madhie of 'Veyil','Paiyaa' and 'Naan Mahaan Alla' fame. His camera adds a lot of freshness into the movie. Right from the initial title sequence, Madhie gets the attraction of audience with his brilliant camera work. Especially the sequences shot in switzerland provides a visual treat for people watching it. The road, snow rain and colourful locales of switzerland is definetely a treat to watch. Music by Harris Jayaraj is the biggest asset of the movie, though the tunes resemble his previous films like 'Unnale Unnale' and 'Irandaam Ulagam', songs are so awesome to hear. 'Vaan engum nee minna' is definetely the pick of the album. With Madhie's awesome cinematography and Harris Jeyaraj's romantic tune, this song definetely makes you to forget yourself.
STORY, SCREENPLAY AND DIRECTION:
'Endrendrum Punnagai' is written and directed by I.Mueenuddin Ahmed of 'Vaamanan' fame. Taking a story of three friends with some love and sentiment is what we see often in many tamil films. Still, the way of depiction of this movie makes it look different. The director should have been lauded for giving in such a wonderful feel good movie, that never makes you feel the length of it, though it runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Though the movie looks pretty much fresh. There are places where the director takes the old path of a tamil film. Whenever a heroine gets misunderstanding with her boyfriend, there comes a guy from U.S to marry her and atlast the hero again marries her leaving that U.S guy helpless. The same old fashion is followed in this movie also. The screenplay makes you to guess the rest of scenes which is the big letdown in the movie. Still we wont feel bored while watching this flick as rest other elements like comedy, music, cinematography hold the nerve of the movie till the end.
VERDICT:
Positives - Entire cast and crew, Music, Cinematography
Negative - Predictable Screenplay
On the whole, this movie is definetely a neat mild hearted flick to watch-out for in theaters.
RATING - 7.25/10
