Performances:
Vikram Prabhu has
delivered a descent performance that is totally in contrast to his debut
Kumki. Though his act as a passionate helpful common man is appealing,
he has to concentrate on his dancing.
Surabhi was given
enough space to perform and the debutant actress has perfectly emoted in
both her romantic and emotional scenes. She is pretty on screen and has
long way in Kollywood.
Vamsi Krishna has delivered a mature performance yet again. As a villain, Vamsi is a tough competitor to the protogonists in the tinsel town.
Though he was given limited scenes,
Ganesh Venkatram bloomed his charishma as a stylish police officer and
leaves an impact in the audiences mind.
Technical Analysis:
Director Saravanan has proved his skills
in blending an action thriller with right mix of comedy and love
portions. But his screenplay takes a dip in the second half, even when
there are few scenes that grab viewers attention.
C.Sathya's music is worth mentioning, as
bacground plays key role in action thrillers. While only two of his
songs are outstanding on sceen.
Newguy Shakthi's cinematography is
impressive, especially in the first half. Editing by A. Sreekar Prasad
is ok, but could have done better as there are few dragging scenes in
the second half.
Analysis:
Ivan Veramathiri, as tthe title suggests
our hero is totally different, but not in negative sense. Vikram plays a
gutsy guy, where a common man takes on evil powers and try to punish
the criminal. In such cases usually people just blame Police and
Government instead of taking immediate measures.
M. Saravanan has almost taken the film
to perfection, but un-noticingly leaves few nuances in the seconf half.
First half of Ivan Veeramathiri is racy with enough romance, comedy and
action sequences compared to the second half, which is equally surpassed
with some drawn out scenes that grabs viewers attention. Interval shot,
pre-climax and climax scenes are the assets of the film.
Final Verdict: Classical and entertaining action thriller...
