Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu - A Kamal Movie ????????

Now that the TV channels have played all the key scenes and the songs of the movie, I dont find myself guilty to write review because, I am going to reveal story and suspense of the movie - vettaiyadu vilaiyadu. The movie's main attractions are the lead male actor Kamal hassan and the music which were chartbusters already. Kamal,as a cop nabbing psycho killers, has a "stupidest" mass hero punch dialogue entry which he has not done in the past 10 years or so but, the song showing a typical 'Gautham Menon's stylish cop' relieves the fans. Probably, this is the kamal film that has commercially super duper hit songs in the last 10 years or so. So, one could expect kamal songs on TV more often this year.

Kamal goes on, hunting for the psycho killers, with too feeble evidences and soon, director realises it is better to show off the killers in an unexpected bumpy scene just before Intermission. Soon after the interval, the cops reach to the killers and director felt he has to run the movie for one more hour. So, he lets the guys escape and intrude into India from Newyork, to save on few production cost too! Can't the NYPD freeze suspects' bank accounts or atleast trace it ? When NYPD could get immigration details of Indians, they could have atleast asked to watch for passports and that way, could have stopped suspects to leave a nation !

Screenplay of the movie is so pathetic that songs come to irritate on a supposed to be a thriller movie. Kamal's flashback sequences could have been placed somewhere when he narrates to Jyothika instead of where it is now. Investigation of a murder in NY is just same as what in Indian Village Keernoor and fails to get any interest for me. Kamal talks of confidential investigation details from a payphone on street. NYPD cops enter house without search warrant and one cop get killed and there seems to be no investigation on it at all to spare our Indian police hero back home ! That Kamal-jyothika episodes in second half drags so much to test viewer's patience. I was expecting a song when the duo hold hand and walk just befor climax. That lousy song 'Uyirilae' and a beach song (think, it was outsourced to Hindi Film Industry !) could have just been on audio. Jyothika is (emotionally) sick in this movie and doesnt fail to impart it on viewers whenever she appears !

Director again realises that the police finding out killers again would take another episode and makes the killer just hit with police to end the film. The cast, character names, crew all are almost same from Gautham's previous movie and it could have been avoided. Slick photography on NY landscapes and the music (though it reminds one of Backstreet Boys, Fat Boy Slim and his own ) receives accolades.
