I - movie review...


Watched I, it is a very good movie. Way better than Lingaa. Shankar picks good themes and weaves a good mix of technology and emotions around that, plus good songs great heroines and he usually has a winning formula. This movie is also based on an obscure science fact and he has built his story well. 

The move could have been much shorter, I would have shaved easily an hour off and made it much faster paced that would leave the audience breathless in the end. But that shouldn't take away much from this movie.

I really don't want to write too much into the story line, as I want folks experiencing its unfolding in the first half. An unfair deal to a hero and a very clever revenge form the thrust of it.
Amy Jackson, is good looking and definitely not a heart tugging beauty like trisha etc. She is adequate for the part of a model, as our ad world is obsessed with white skin anyways, in that you can agree that shankar has picked a perfect choice.

Santhanam is there from beginning to end, with very intelligent comedy, probably from shankar, as on his own he finds it very hard to do anything other than "Akkaavum, Kakkavum" kinda third rate humor.

Hats off to Vikram for the dedication and even the physical deformities he probably went through to play the roles to perfection.

Special effects should be used to bring out the ugly truth or wow the audience by being apt, I can't help but feel that the pre-determined need for special effects in Shankar's mind have led to unnecessary sequences and songs.

ARR's music is way below average and is a non-factor.

That minor flaw apart, it is a very good clean movie, enjoy with the family.
