Venghai movie review

The Plot
It is set in a village Pandiapuram where Veerapandian is the most respected and feared person. Sort of don of dons. Rajalingam is elected as the Sivagangai district MLA through Veerapandian's goodwill. Selvam is his son who is sent away to Trichy to lead a calm life. Selvam respects his dad like a God.

He falls in love with Radhika, his school days flame and a demure woman. Their love has the fair share of misunderstandings and family related problems. As expected Rajalingam is corrupt and he is against Veerapandian's domineering ways which are always for the good of the village.

They both are after each other's heads. Which party wins, is the story. As expected the hero finishes off the corrupt guys in the climax almost singlehandedly after some interesting but predictable ideas, dialogues and sentiments.

There is the usual buffoon comedian who gets bashed up by all and sundry & the rural film constants like Rajkiran and Prakashraj as the village chief-ton and villain respectively. There are also some good moments typical of Hari's films like some fast fights and twists at the appropriate moments.

                                                                           
Hits

  • Devi Sri Prasad has given some good songs. 3 of them are hum worthy. But his BGM is loud most of the times
  • Dhanush puts up a good show as usual. A full range from him. His fighting is much more convincing now.
Misses
  • Too much importance to the sickle and lots of bloodshed. A throwback to olden days.
  • Tamanna is a big dud. She looks pale and sad most of the times. Her midriff exposure in the songs is a poor compensation too. 
VERDICT
Just an average Hari movie with lots of typical elements that you would find in his films.
