Siruthai Film Review

Movie: Siruthai
Language: Tamil
Release: 2011 Jan
Cast: Karthi, Thamanna, Sandanam


A remake of ‘Vikramarkudu’ (Telugu), with very slight changes to suit Tamil viewers and Karthi’s mannerism. The Telugu version was tailor made for Ravi Teja and I had enough doubts whether Karthi can give such a performance.
Siruthai – never promised to be perfect, but promised to give wholesome entertainement – lot of fights, songs, dance, sentiments and comedy.
Karthi for the first time in dual roles that too in the very early stage of his career had done it with ease. He plays a local youth and a cop.
Rocket Raja (Karthi) and Kaattupoochi (Santhanam) are small time thieves. Rocket Raja falls in love with a beautiful girl (Tamanna). Things starts to change when a kid comes to him claiming to be his son. And there comes Rathnavel Pandian (Karthi).

Karthi just perfectly fits in as both the characters. His graph is still moving very high and with this movie his dream run is just continuing. His second movie with Tamanna, recreates the magic once again. Tammana as sweet innocent girl is very lovable. And Santhanam is back after his successful character in Boss engira Baskaran.
Music: Is good and hummable. BGM is very similar to the Telugu versions.
Cinematography: is good and adds strength in stunt sequences.
Fight: Action sequences are the backbone of the movie along with comedy. The action is composed in style.
Overall: The movie is a good mass entertainer with right mixture of masalas. First half is very hilarious but second half just falls bit low with excess of violence. Too much of Telugu favor is another thing which will catch you.
BO Prediction: Sure winner.

Jyothika Praises Karthi

Karthi’s performance in his recent release ‘Siruthai’, in which he performed dual role for the first time in his acting career, has won appreciation from his sister-in-law Jyothika.

“Anni said long back that she would watch the film on the first day itself since I am playing a police officer. Sticking to her words, she watched ‘Siruthai’ on the very first day,” Karthi says.

“She thoroughly enjoyed the movie,” the actor says and adds: “She sent me congratulatory messages through mobile even before the show got over. I am overwhelmed.”

On the possibilities of his acting together with his brother Suriya, Karthi says, “I don’t think we would share the screen space in the near future. Because, he is busy for the next two years. And several other factors have also to be considered.”

Aayirathil Oruvan Review

Ofcourse he is the man who mastered the star cast,Cinematographer,Art Director,Music director,Editor,Light Man,Stunt choreographers,Assistants,VFX Artists and thousands of junior artists.

While entering the theatre i was thinking that this movie may be inspired from some other Hollywood fantasy movie.But believe me this isnt a copy or inspired movie and its a original story.
The first half had a brilliant screenplay.Though the movie is lengthy i didnt even get bored in the 1st half and the 2nd half is slow and a bit disappointment.
Ramji did an excellant job in lighting and angles.
Parthiban had a amazing character and his intro is the best part of the movie and its worth the suspense.
I badly missed Yuvan in this movie.I was very much disappointed with GV Prakash and i could hear The Lord of the Rings theme at many places which was said to be the best BGM through the movie.
Dialouges in the 2nd half was quite unperceivable though Vairamuthu and selva researched a lot about the languages used in ancient Tamil Nadu.
And the Art Direction was fantasic and this is the 1st tamil movie in recent times which had a perfect art work thoroughout the whole movie.
Karthik,Andrea,Reema did their part well and delivered what the character demands.There are few loopholes in the movie though Ayirathil Oruvan changes the Trend in Tamil Cinema and adds a Crown to our Industry.
