For the cliches and its its success


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.
