for Taapsee, a journalist. Arrambam story takes twists and turns here
with an intriguing mass interval and reveals the main plot with a
flashback in the second half. Will AK succeeds in his assignment? Forms
the Aarambam crux…
Watch Ajith’s Arrambam for the flashback and stick to the seats twists and turns…
Performances:
Ajith looks dashing
with his salt and pepper look in V shaped T-shirts and pulls his role as
Ashok Kumar with ease. As ever, Ajith has hold Arrambam on his
shoulders with skyrocketing stunts, dances, acting and what not.
Nayantara carried out her role by means of get-up-and-go with style, though she maintains fiery façade here and there.
Arya’s presence as a
techie hacker with a new hairstyle is quite fond of. Arya has done his
parts well and pulls off audience chord in few of his scenes.
Rana has excelled with his screen presence even if it is only for little time. As a girly journo, Taapsee is sure to make few hearts melt but has nothing to perform much.
Mahesh Manjrekar, Kishore, Atul Kulkarni and others are good.
Techincal Analysis:
Vishnuvardhan’s
direction is stylish and kudos to his choice of cast and crew for
Arrambam. Even though there are some sneak peeks here and there,
Arrambam team has handled it to the fullest.
Suba, writer duo Suresh
and Balakrishnan have penned an engaging script for Arrambam and hooked
audiences to their seats with more engaging screenplay.
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s
background scores couldn’t make the impact as the Ajith’s Arrambam audio
did. Nonetheless he has added enough seriousness to the action
sequences with his score. ‘Adada Arrambame’, ‘Melala Vedikkudhu’ and 'En
Fuse Pochu' songs are good onscreen in support of camera works.
Om Prakash, the
debutant cinematographer has proved his mettle to be here in Kollywood
with his eye pleasurable visuals in fight scenes and songs.
Stunt choreographers Jegan, Kecha and
Lee Whittaker need a tap for numerous action parts, especially the
climax and the boat chase are appealing.
Analysis:
Ajith and Vishnuvardhan on board with
their trusted team of Arrambam, which belts a sneak connection with
films like Sword Fish, A Wednesday and Indian, well they remained only
shades. Movie has a kick start with never thought fashionable entry of
Thala Ajith followed by racy first half.
Arrambam Second half has more
interesting parts compared to first, as actual plot is revealed here.
Arya, Nayantara, Tapsee and Rana’s characters leave an impact on
viewers. As said before Arya as tech savvy reminds you of ‘A Wednesday’,
Arrambam climax similar to Kamal Haasan’s Indian movie and the actual
plot alike as Sword Fish.
Totally Arrambam is a tailor-made action
packed bouncy entertainer, but one shouldn’t think of logics as it is
commercial best-spoken for fans.
