After some hectic schedule and a long break from posting reviews, here comes the review of SIGARAM THODU. I initially thought that my reviews have came to an end already. But, It has just begun again thanks to many people who have encouraged me in writing reviews again in this blog. Hope I would continue this as I start it again now.
Movies under the banner of 'UTV Productions' always have a set of expectations from audience. With the combination of Vikram Prabhu, who has just tasted his hat-trick success, this expectation got a little higher. Every hero has an ambition of wearing the most prestigious Police uniform and take up the role of a police officer in atleast one film in their entire career. When, It was heard like this opportunity has knocked Vikram Prabhu's doors, the Expectations raised up further higher. Has this movie lived upto its expectations?? Lets go ahead to know in this review:

Cast: Vikram Prabhu, Monal Gajjar, Sathyaraj, Gaurav, Sathish, 'Erode' Mahesh, Kovai Sarala
Music: D.Imman
Cinematography: Vijay Ulaganath
Editing: Praveen.K.L
Written and Directed by: Gaurav
'SIGARAM THODU' is all about a father's wish to make his son climb to the top of what he wished to see his son as. Mixed with some crime and thrill, Director Gaurav has packaged a product that sounds pretty interesting.
CAST:
Vikram Prabhu as Murali Pandiyan, plays the role of a typical youth. The initial scenes where in he strives for getting a bank job, the love scenes with Monal Gajjar, Transformation as a Police Sub-Inspector and the places wherein he emotes - Each and every places this man scores what is expected out of him. Infact, he has done morethan expected. He is showing a variety in each and every movies he takes up. Way to go Vikram Prabhu! Monal Gajjar as Ambujam looks pretty and bubbly in certain scenes and a bit dull in certain scenes. Make-up should have been taken care for her. Her expressions seem to be so artificial. She should have done more homework with the expressions. 'Miss Gujarat', you should do much better in your upcoming films.
Sathyaraj as Vikram Prabhu's father again proves the worth of him in this movie. He has shown how precious he is in each and every frame he comes in this film. The place where he fights with a single leg is the highlight of all. Vikram Prabhu and Sathyaraj can be rightly called as the two pillars of this film. Sathish and 'Erode' Mahesh provide the much needed comic content to the film. Kovai Sarala comes in as Monal Gajjar's grand mother. Such a veteran comic actress holds a very little non-important role for very few scenes alone. The antagonist role is being played by Director Gaurav himself and another person, who fit in very much perfectly for their respective roles.
CINEMATOGRAPHY, MUSIC AND EDITING:
Cinematography by Vijay Ulaganath is mind-blowing. Whatever the sequence may be, the love sequences in Haridwar, 'Pidichurukku' Song in Himalayas, Fight and chase sequences in chennai are all a treat to watch. He simply makes the audience to be a part of the film with many of his angles and frames. He will definitely be a man to watch out for in all his upcoming films.
Songs composed by D.Imman are so pleasant. 'Takkunu Takkunu' and 'Pidichurukku' songs are the pick of the Album. Background Music is pulsating. This man proves his ability in each and every movie he does. Editing by the 'National award' winning Editor Praveen.K.L is so crispier. The way he has edited the flashback sequences will be a new trend in cinemas hereafter. The place wherein he shows in the born baby with police suit is a nice creativity. Overall the technical team of Camera, Music and Editing has hit sixes and boundaries in all the balls they have faced. Kudos!!
STORY, SCREENPLAY AND DIRECTION:
Coming to the story front, Its a very ordinary story-line which we have seen in few movies like Kreedom. But the way Director Gaurav has sculptured the screenplay for this story-line is amazing. Bringing in the ATM scam, he teaches a lesson to audience how credit cards / Debit cards of others can be misused. He has really done a very good research about it and has applied it very effectively not exaggerating stuffs about it too much. Well Done Director Gaurav! Also, The way he has characterized the Antagonists is too good. Though there aren't much twists in the screenplay, Gaurav has still managed to keep the thrill maintained throughout the second half.
But to go through such exciting moments of this film, you should have to bare few love sequences that comes at the initial part of the film in the First Half. The love sequences are so bad that the audience were booing at it especially the reason for which Monal Gajjar confronts her love. I really don't know, For how many years still the heroine will love the hero so instantly. But a good thing what exists there is these love proportions are very little so it does not affect the film's flow.
Strength's - Vikram Prabhu, SathyaRaj, Music, Cinematography and Racy Screenplay
Negative - Monal Gajjar and The Love sequences
VERDICT:
On the whole, SIGARAM THODU is an engaging thriller, packaged with all necessary ingredients like Action, Crime, love and sentiment in right proportions. Had the first half been made still more interesting, the end product would have been still more engaging.
RATING - 7/10 [SIGARAM THODU - Will definitely touch the heights]
