Vijay’s 60th film ‘Bhairavaa’ is on theatres now, unlike all other Vijay movies which released before, Bhairavaa came with less expectations and with low hype but I should say that the low hype factor has helped the makers as it's clear from the day 1 that fans or audience are not expecting another 'Thuppaaki' or 'Katthi'. The movie is directed by Bharathan starring Keerthy Suresh in the female lead and Jagapati Babu plays the antagonist.
Bhairavaa deals with a topical issue and exposes the politics in medical seat allocations. The movie raises a few serious questions and attempts to portray the problems from the common man’s perspective. Ilayathalapathy plays the role of an ordinary man, who stands up for a cause and clashes with powerful politician played by Jagapathi Babu.The film travels 20 minutes without Vijay during the flashback portion, a rarity in his films. A brave attempt bt the team.Though the flashback is predictable and passable, it helps to create tension and also gives good build up to the villain.
Bharathan had succeeded as a writer and director by giving a terra mass movie and it will be a celebration time for Vijay fans. The dialogues and punch lines were terrific. Even though the story looks like a old wine served in new bottle, Bharathan had presented it in an entertaining manner which kept the audience engaged and excited till the very end of the movie. The interval portion and Climax fight were just stunning and director had provided everything to celebrate for the Illayathalapathy fans.
After experimenting a little with his performance or after stepping out of his comfort zone in his recent outings, Vijay has come out with an out and out commercial action movie, just to treat his hardcore fan base for this Pongal. Yet another energetic performance from Vijay, but his voice modulation sounds very artificial in some places. He did that court scene ( the one which were trolled heavily when the trailer was out) brilliantly, he managed to control his acting during that emotional scene. If there is one thing that makes you watch the film without frowning till the very end, that would be Vijay’s screen presence.Keerthy Suresh, as Vijay’s love interest, plays a good natured and gleeful girl next door. It is nice to see the actress establishing a style for herself in such a short span. She has a peculiar set of expressions which works quite well for the character.Jagapathi Babu, Daniel Balaji and Thambi Ramaiah bring their experience on to the table. Sathish could not manage to evoke laughter like his previous films, In fact Sathish didn't have much importance in this movie. In his last few movies Sathish's comedy timing and comedies worked really well with Sivakarthikeyan and audience will miss something like that in this movie.
Few scenes looked over dramatized and could have been toned down. Cinematographer Sukumar has shown Vijay in dynamic angles and it has elevated his mass aspects adequately. The action scenes in particular were well choreographed by Anl Arasu. Varlaam vaa’ bgm works so well with the visuals rather than that music department has failed miserably to make an impact in the movie. KLM Praveen's lack of experience in the editing department was evident in the movie, I hope he'll improve in future.
POSITIVES
1. Bharathan had full control over this movie.
2. A complete Vijay show.
3. Keerthy Suresh did well.
4. Cinematography is good.
5. 'varlaam vaa' bgm is good.
NEGATIVES
1. Songs and other bgms rather than varlaam vaa could have been better.
2. Editing is not upto the mark.
3. Not everyone's cup of tea .
Director Bharathan is the real winner of this movie. He treated a story which has all kinda typical tamil movie cliche in a way which will make hardcore Vijay fans happy, couple of impressive scenes here and there keep you alert. It falls flat towards the end and does not excite you. I'm also happy that it was the right decision by Mammooka (Mammootty) to reject the offer to play the antagonist which has nothing much to deliver.
Overall Bhairavaa is a pakka mass entertainer, as I said before its not everyone's cup of tea. If you're a hardcore Vijay Fan then this is the movie for you otherwise it's not a must watch movie, still it's a much better movie than 'Puli'.
BHAIRAVAA - 5/10 (Just Average )
