Well, the grand success of ‘Pokkiri’ won the best laurels for Prabhu Deva who made his debut directorial in Kollywood as well Vijay who had a great break with it. Perhaps, both of them joining hands together had evoked everyone’s attention that they would be striking with another blockbuster.
Fine! Are your expectations surmounted or dashed down especially for Vijay fans? Much prior to analyzing on these factors, there’s something interesting you’ve got to know. Earlier, buzzes stated that the film is a remake of Hindi blockbuster ‘Soldier’ starring Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta in lead roles. Of course, ‘Villu’ is a partial remake of ‘Soldier’ where sentimental quotients are exactly replicated from that flick.
On the commercial aspects, the film is stunning starting from the introduction of Vijay as a superhero (ladies call him Spiderman and Superman). With excellent comedy tracks, stunning stunts, lots of items numbers and Nayanthara appearing in furthermore glamorous roles as a great fiesta for all audiences.
What’s the story of Villu all about?
The film centers on protagonist Pugazh (Vijay), who is introduced as the same way in Pokkiri. A local super hero often ennobled as Redeemer of poor and helpless. But, his another shade is that he is a Villu (Arrow) of a senior most police officer (played by Manoj K Vijayan) and they together are towards are a task.
They’re on a secret mission of bumping off the international mafia dons and a part of accomplishing it, he makes romance with Jhanvi (Nayanthara), daughter of leading mafia. Cool! These things are fine and great. But why is Pugazh is associated for this mission? Who is he actually forms crux of the story….
As mentioned earlier, Prabhu Deva has blended a suspenseful factor of plotline with commercial elements. Yup! Right throughout the first half, you are sure to sway down with continuous comedy tracks of Vadivelu and obviously he rules the screen during these hours. The highlighting feature of the comedy track is shaking his legs for ‘Naaka Mukka’ in front of Swiss Police and this will throw you up and down as a laugh riot. On the pars, a graphical fight with cow is something not catering for all the age groups and only kid would love watching it.
Vijay is great on all aspects of dance, fight, emotions and romance. But it would be nice if he analyzes his pluses and minus before signing a film. Some of the fights of really ludicrous and we cannot accept our ‘boy with next-to-door looks as a James Bond’. Nayanthara as in Aegan keeps yelling at the hero at many times. If you’re ready for a glamorous feast, Nayan has it all for you.
Devi Shri Prasad without straining gets good credits for ‘Jalsa’ song (he has copied his own tune from Telugu movie Jalsa). ‘Nee Kobapattal’ too is nice and Prabhu Deva’s innovativeness is quite revealing. ‘Vaada Maapilai’ and ‘Dheemthanakka Thillanna’ will be sizzling numbers for B and C centres.
Ravi Varman’s cinematography is enchanting; especially canning exotic locations of foreign land wins him applause. Kola Bhaskar’s editing offers pace to the gripping screenplay.
Prabhu Deva could’ve avoided copying the ‘Soldier’ factors in the second half. Well, he has done a good job in delineating characterizations except Prakash Raj. The versatile actor had whole lot of show in Pokkiri while this is something contrastive.
On the whole, ‘Villu’ is sure to be a great entertainer for Vijay fans while for those who hate films without logics and absurdities can better avoid this…
Verdict: Not Worth Watching…
