Jigarthada.. Cool customer!!!
It is indeed difficult to write a review without a spoiler and if I do it, it will take away the interest in the movie so I refrain from it, deliberately and hence, the review itself is short.
It has to be mentioned at the beginning that the first few minutes of this movie does not make good for what comes later. What comes later is just loveable.
It is old news that Bobby Simha has done a great job. He is a revelation in the movie. Be it the aggressive scenes, the lighter ones. He excels.
A wannabe director, Siddarth, is asked to make a gory gangster movie and he hits on the idea of making a movie of someone alive and not someone who has been. Digs out Assault Sethu as the candidate and goes in search of Sethu and his story to Madurai. What he does next to get his story makes for interesting watch.
He chooses 3 sources, one a drunkard, one a x-rated movie fan and one a shop owner who dishes out boring stories. How he gets his story forms part of the movie and what he ends up doing with the story, makes for even more interesting watching.
The twist, if we can call it that, comes from the lady lead in the movie. What could have been made sloppy is handled very well by the director. His ingenuity in making even the smallest of roles make a big impact is laudable. Acting teacher Moorthy makes a mark. The sequences are a laugh riot.
The movie in itself, which the wannabe director, makes and how it comes out should be watched on screen. Any spoilers will lessen the interest in the movie.
Change of heart of Sethu, which is not a spoiler, as you will understand when you watch the
movie, is notable and how he uses "gibberish" is fantastic. Hats off to Karthik. And "Anbe Sivam", again in gibberish in the back ground? Or is it us the viewer, who is hallucinating there? Such is the impact of the movie.
Watch it to understand the last few lines.
