Poraali - A Warrior?

There's no perfect relation between the title and the story( from what i noticed )

Lets see the story line . 2 youngsters( Sasikumar and his friend Naresh ) come to chennai with Big aspirations to make a difference an lead life in a honest and dignified way. .Mark these words they get repeated throughout the movie. .The 2 folks meet Ganja Karuppu who hosts these 2 youngsters in his apartment. This apartment complex has a story by itself, there are variety of characters in that complex , an always fighting couple, a house owner with his family , a drunken bachelor, a grandma with her 2 granddaughters one of who happens to be swathi a backdrop dancer.

Sasi and Naresh perform good deeds and earn the hearts of the members of the complex as well as at work. They become entrepreneurs and also employ youngsters, at this moment some people from Sasi's hometown chase him and that's when the whole story gets another twist and gains very high momentum. The rest of the story is why they chase Sasi and Naresh and how he overcomes the barbaric villagers. 

Samuthirakani has made sure that there are instances where the main characters stress the importance of coming up in life in a correct manner, definitely he's sending a message to those youngsters who migrate to any big city. Showing the passage of time after few scene by showing the petrol prices is a very good way to remind the public about the price rise and also about moving time. The story's crisp and provides importance to almost all characters and doesn't dip much from its core.


Dialogues between Sasi and Swathi have been well written, a scene where he talks about her insecure feeling is natural. Soori from vennila Kabadi Kuzhu also plays a very short and important role and his style of dialogue delivery is worth watching , don't miss his punch "நாங்கெல்லாம்  அப்போவே  அந்த  மாதிரி  " .

Though Sasi smiled a bit more in this movie there's no difference in his acting from Subramaniapuram and Naadodigal but Swathi has changed a lot and has performed her character well. Naresh has also performed very well, I'd say better than Sasi , be it the scenes where he gets an anxiety attack or the comical explanation he gives about the affection for his girl friend. 

Ganja Karuppu definitely needs a mention since he has gelled well with the story and Samuthrakani has made sure his character doesn't look like those of Vadivelu's which have no correlation to the story. (BTW where is Vadivelu?? Does anyone know)

The camera in the movie is very good ,notably in the second half when it covers the fast and rusty rural turf. .Music is kind of a let down I'd say, a couple of songs were OK but, there were scenes when i was expecting some bgm and there was an unrelated one. Sundar C Babu has to learn that he cannot surf on his Anjathey and Naadodigal fame for long. 


Few cons/Bloopers

1. Dialogues like "படிச்சவனுக்கு  ஒரு  வேல , படிக்காதவனுக்கு , செய்யறதெல்லாம்  வேல " though sounds inspiring ,on the other hand can send a different message to the public, like its not really necessary to be educated to become successful. 
2. Illogical fight in the climax ! Samuthrakani disappointed me with this fight, till this time the movie didn't defy any laws of physics ! ! Sasi becomes a superhero who bashes up 25 people all by himself.
3. Swathi, a struggling backdrop dancer has an iPhone ( director probably forgot to notice that )
4. Swathi's sister is a school kid but never goes to school. She's at the house all the time :P
5. Sasi kind of needs to change his style of acting a bit and be more expressive.
   

Overall there are more pro's and positive things one can take away from this movie, A good entertainer with reality, love, humor and rage narrated in an equally balanced proportion. 


WATCH-O-METER RATING :7

This Warrior will definitely win :)
