Those long hours in a flight
beside a handsome man – every girl’s dream. But sadly it is reserved for
cinemas and novels. Ajith and Anushka starring Yennai Arindhal was not any
different.
Ajith as Sathyadev was handsome as ever with his salt pepper hair. Surprisingly
Arun Vijaykumar was the main villain showing off his newly obtained six-pack
abs every chance he got. (I’m not complaining). Trisha though comes for a
very short time, looked her best and did her best in that short time. Trisha
seems to me is G.V.M’s new muse.
There was nothing unusual about the story. Between good police and bad guys,
love becomes a collateral damage. But what might have set the movie apart was
the different faces of Ajith we got to see in the movie. As a son becomes an IPS
officer so that he can avenge his father; as a police man he collars the
gangsters; as a man who falls in love with a dancer and her daughter; as an
unexpected father who nurtures and gives up his career for that daughter who
had suddenly become his; as a friend; as a protector.
Ajith becomes every one
of them without breaking a sweat.
Even with the cliched ending the movie managed bring in all the drama
without being cheesy. So I guess it is a good watch. These police stories
are fail-safe, not without reason.
