Sillunu Oru Sandhippu review

My Twitter handle - @LMK_LEO86 ... My FB page - LMK's movie reviews ...

1 / 5

Yet another movie which gives a false hope to young males that falling in love with a beautiful girl is child's play. In reality, if girls get attracted to a guy so easily, then I would have had thousands of girlfriends by now.

Sillunu Oru Sandhippu  (SOS) also throws light on some so-called issues like compatibility in love, the spark of first infatuation and the burgeoning number of divorces. We are actually shown an old pair in their 70s applying and getting divorce!

Vemal (earlier Vimal, this being version 2.0) is miscast yet again as the city dude who has not one but two women for company. He speaks as if he has a perennial hangover. We don't notice any difference in his dialog delivery for the scene when he gets drunk for he always sounds like being drunk. This actor must count himself lucky for having made it this far as an actor with such a limited talent. In SOS, we also see this guy as a schoolboy, with a thin mustache supposed to make him look convincing for the part.

While Oviya is the childhood flame who later grows into an attractive female sporting tight tops to accentuate her tits, Dipa Shah is the clueless dumb chick who looks homely yet attractive in her salwar suits. Oviya realizes in the end that she can never be happy with Vemal because of their constant differences in opinions while Dipa realizes that she can't get a better man than the hero. Either way, Vemal gets to take home, one of the girls at the end of the movie with the other playing the 'broker' between them.

Manobala continues to irritate in the name of comedy. For some strange reason, he even has dual roles with one of them sporting the 'Chitti 2.0' garb. Pathetic irritant, this actor is.

The music director F.S.Faizal has given some passable songs with none of them staying in the audience's minds. His BGM score is too loud and doesn't offer even a small space for silence. The songs keep popping now and then and just elicit more and more lazy moans from the audience. One such song about a bus sees the voluptuous and raunchy Brinda Parekh making a comeback; huge tits et al.

In all, this movie is hardly a Valentine's Day treat. It is old-fashioned, predictable, boring and has a dull hero. What more do you need to avoid a movie. This SOS is also a distress signal, Save Our Souls ...
