Performances
Siddharth as Kumar
delivers his best, and he has selected the right script that works well
for the comedy. He has done his part extremely well.
Hansika has a good
role, she looked glamorous and as always doesn’t fail to impress with
her expressions. Her body language, comedy and showing innocence in her
role works big time. Her dance moves in Miss Missla song are quite good
Brahmanandam is an
asset for the film. The scenes featuring him are quite hilarious. He is
the real hero of the flick and had got full-length role. Samantha, Rana
cameos need a mention. Other cast Ganesh Venkatraman, Venu Madhav are
good in their roles, Nalini is loud at times. Others were adequate.
Technical Analysis
Satya’s songs are peppy and they have
been shot well. However, the songs were speed breakers haltering the
film’s pace. Cinematography is fine, while Praveen and Srikanth’s
editing is crisp. Sundar C’s story isn’t unique but the screenplay is
smartly penned though predictable in the latter half at times. Dialogues
are entertaining. Production values are standard.
Analysis
Something Something sticks to its comedy
genre and is sure to entertain you and provide ample laughs. The story
is simple and looks like the main idea inspired from classic comedy Basu
Chatterjee's Chhoti Si Baat (1975) in which Ashok Kumar plays love
guru.
Sundar C’s smart screenplay makes the
film fresh, funny and entertaining. Something Something works for its
screenplay and perfect casting. Siddharth, Hansika’s chemistry,
Brahmanandam’s fun-filled role as love guru are assets of the film.
Also, the movie is neatly packaged with no double-entendre dialogues and
humor has been built into the story with good twists and twirls. The
dubbing quality could’ve been better.
The first half of the film is racy and
entertaining, while the second half is lengthy and turns predictable.
Nevertheless, the proceedings don’t fail to bring smiles.
