Kandasamy - Purely an Entertainer ( If you dont expect anything else)

Ahem...

On Sunday morning, I started getting SMSs saying Kandasamy is not up to the mark or a total waste of time. Then I thought I should watch it on the same day, cos people start saying a lot about the movie and things that they did not like. That makes me to learn more about the story. I did not want that to happen. Luckily I did get tickets to watch that movie.

You all know what? It is not an easy task to write about a movie for which a lot of people have already criticized against it. Probably I may not even know whether I liked this movie. There are many reasons that I liked this movie:

1. A lot of bad comments about the movie. This made me to watch the movie with the least expectations.

2. I like all kinds of movies. I mean all genres. Let it be drama, comedy, horror, action, entertainer (we can call it pure masala). etc etc.

3. Concept of the story was really good.

4. I always have this faith in few good directors. Susi Ganesan is one of them.

5. There were not lengthy lectures (particularly in the climax) by the lead role justifying all his mistakes since the story began.

6. Justification of flying stunts.

The last 2 reasons would be accepted only if you guys watch the movie.
I am not marketing, This movie can definitely be watched once.

I would definitely not say this movie is a must watch or flawless or has best screen play.

Following could be the flaws from the movie:

1. Unwanted Vadivelu scenes.

2. If vadivelu's were not good, Charlie's was even worse.

3. Few erotic scenes of Vikram and Shreya.

4. Extra songs like Meow Meow, that pizza selling song ( These extra songs makes us to feel that the current directors are still coward or they still think that the present audience likes those masala stuffs. This goes for having an idea of including Vadivelu scenes)

5. Screen play could have been little better than this. I wont say it is totally bad.

These mistakes are quite common in this Genre of movies. Yeah, When it is said entertainer, there are possibilities of having such negative points.

The director reveals a lot of secrets at the first half of the movie itself. This shows his confidence in carrying the screen play forward. However, I was disappointed with his confidence level by having few extra songs and including a separate comedy track. Extra songs are somewhat understandable. Yeah, these songs are included for business purpose. The music album should be equally profitable. But having a comedy track that do not gel with the movie is totally weird. After all, I did not expect from the standards of Susi Ganesan.

My final one line comment would be, If Anniyan was too good, Kandasamy deserves at least a GOOD.
