Tamil Movie Review : Velai Illa Pattadhari


Velai Illa Pattadhari the 25th film for Dhanush and it comes from his own production house Wunderbar Films, had a huge expectations from the audience as in these recent years he didn't give much hit like before. This flick is directed by Velraj and it has both Anirudh Ravichander and MV Rajesh Kumar's music. The trailer and the audio have successfully generated positives vibes around VIP and it's clearly evident with the movie getting wonderful response from it's advance bookings.

The film is reportedly "A message to youths with some comedy on rising unemployed and the growing frustration for job with love". Dhanush as Raghuvaran plays the central character, as a civil engineer graduate who is still looking out for a job, while his younger brother who is in IT field already working and earning well. This rises a comparison issue at his home where Samuthrakani keeps insulting Dhanush for being unemployed. Dhanush is a type of person who wants a job in the same field as he studied for. Saranya played a role as his mother, who console him and try to boost his confidence.  And there comes the introduction of the lead lady Amala Paul as his childhood best friend, who is in love with him. This will be the first release for Amala Paul after her post-marriage with Vijay.

In a bid to make it a successful commercial film, the team has taken too much of liberties. In the process, the story becomes predictive  in the second half.

Overall it has a fantastic performance by Dhanush, Indeed it is a tailor-made role for him. Amala Pauls fits well as Shalini. Samuthrakani, Saranya, Vivek and the cute Hrishikesh have done a complete justice to their roles. And Anirudh shines again with his background scores.

There was not much scope for cinematography and editing done by Rajesh was okay.
