Sangathamizhan – Movie review

The film starts with in court, where a village is fighting to stop a corporate company led by industrialist Sanjay (Ravi Kishan) building a copper factory in their agricultural land. The local minister who has joined hands with the corporate company has alienated the villagers and denied fundamental needs to the villagers. Parallel to this in Chennai we follow Murugan (Vijay Sethupathi) is a striving actor who along with is friend Soori is waiting for his huge break in films. Murugan in a coincidence meets Kamalani (Raashi Khanna) who is incidentally the daughter of Sanjay. Both Murugan and Kamalini after some initially misunderstanding finally fall in love. When Sanjay finds this out he wants to take Murugan out of the picture, but when he sees Murugan he is reminded of his past adversary Thamizh who is supposedly dead. Is Thamizh and Murugan the same person? What follows forms the rest of the story.

Sangathamizhan has nothing new in terms of storytelling or the story itself, but Vijay setupathy tries to engage the audience to certain period where the audience are comfortable, the wayward storytelling and over exaggerated scenes make it a disaster. Vijay sethupathy looks awkward in the songs and action scenes due to his slothy body language. Raashi Khanna and Nivetha Pethuraj have done a decent job, but don’t stand out in the slow paced movie. Second half tests your patience with needless scenes. Sangathamizhan ends up as a below average film. I give it 3/10

 

Action – Movie review

Films opens in the exotic Istanbul, where Agent Diya(Tamannaah) is seen evading the local police, as she and agent Subash are wanted by the local authority and branded as terrorists. The local law enforcement catches Diya and she is forcefully taken to a rogue Officer who wants the where abouts of Subash. We are then taken a few weeks back were his father the chief minister of Tamilnadu is hosting a huge national party meeting in Chennai. But at the rally, the leader of the National party dies in a bomb blast and the blame falls on Subash’s elder brother (Ramki) who is the deputy Chief minister. Subash’s Fiancé Meera ( Aishwarya Lekshmi) too dies in the blast. Subahs’s investigation takes him to four corners of the world, as he tracks down each person behind this terror attack which leads him to an international terrorist in Pakistan. How Subhash brings him to justice is the rest of the story.

As the summary of the story seems neat and apt for Vishal, the screenplay and wayward writing makes you groan throughout the film. The over exaggerated action scenes accompanied by careless VFX and mindless dialogues makes you uncomfortable as an audience. An Action named movie becomes a total comedy for the audience. Though efforts from Vishal  and Sundar C is honest the movie fails miserably .i give it 1/10
