Watched Vaayai Moodi
Pesavum on Saturday night at AVM Rajeshwari. Watching a movie in this theatre
after a long time, it is the same lousy theatre. Not sure why they cannot
renovate this? They have such a huge space available. The ticket cost Rs 40,
which was a huge surprise also.
Anyhow, coming to the movie
this is the second directorial venture of Balaji Mohan after his successful
debut - Kadhalil Sothapuvadhu Eppadi.
Like his first movie this is
also a light hearted rom-com.
Cast includes Dulquer Salman,
Nazriya Nazeem, Madhubala (Surprised to see her in mother's role already -
still looks beautiful).
Dulquer is an orphan and happy
go lucky guy who works as a sales representative and his only aim is to become
a RJ. He meets Nazriya who is a doctor and is in love with another person (this
guy comes once in a while, we don't even know what he does for a living). Madhubala
plays Nazriya's mother and Abhishek her father. Both look very young to play
parents.
The entire movie happens in a
hill station. The people of the hill station suddenly get affected by
"dumb flu". Things move along when government bans people from
speaking as the flu spreads only when speaking. The entire second half of the
movie is like a silent movie with no dialogues.
Things flow along till the
heroine dumps the other guy and falls for the hero and there is vaccine for the
flu.
Others in the cast include -
Vinu Chakravarthy, John Vijay, Ramesh Tilak, Arjunan(seems to be a regular in
Balaji Mohan's films), Robot Shankar and Pandiarajan. Balaji Mohan himself
plays a TV news reader.
Dulquer does a decent job in
his first job. Nazriya has a sad look all through
the movie and fits her role well. All support cast have done a decent job.
Vaayai Moodi Pesavum and Kadhal
arai onnu songs are really good.
Overall it is a decent movie to
watch. Good time pass.
