Pattiyal - U fall in love with these two gangsters!!

watched pattiyal yesterday along with vk, cub,prasad and satish. Tamil cinema is entering a new era with new directors ruling the roost and Vishnuvardhan proving that his last movie arinthum ariyamalum was no flash in the pan. He does a classic act even in Pattiyal and comes out with a movie which is both fresh as well as one that lingers in your heart for a long long time..

The movie starts with bharat killing a person in style and then walking away from the scene personifying complete innocence and hopping on to the pillion seat behind arya. The scene then moves to a song which has some comic picturisations.
Bharath and arya are hired killers who work for Saami( VC hanifa) and stick on to their tasks. Bharath as the mute and deaf gangster steals the show while aarya proves yet again that he is the most apt actor on the film circuit to act as a gangster or rowdy or should you call it vishnuvardhan's talent to extract the maximum from him.

I dont want to give the entire story as the film's suspense gets lost. Padmapriya features as arya's ladylove and pooja as bharath's ladylove. There is very little scope for Pooja but she has performed commendably within her limitations and its padmapriya who comes out with a stunning performance. this girl is a absolute natural and emotes with ease. Limited potential but brilliant performance.

Arya is rough, uncouth a bit barbaric a man without emotions and his dialogue delivery is the highlight. The comic timing of his dialogues is a major plus. the camarderie between the two lead actors is the highlight and the unique bonding between the two friends is something new to be seen in tamil cinema. A very realistic depiction.

The ironies highlighted in the climax is the masterpiece or masterstroke from vishnuvardhan. though the film is replete with gore and bloodshed , for the story i think it was necessary.

major pluses

Bharath and aarya
Cameraman - donno who it is, but this guy has got talent...awesome work
Music - Yuvan again rocking to glory...
editing - scenes were really continuous..
Screenplay - movie moves damn fast in the first half that you realize that a hour has passed only when the interval comes

Minuses

hardly any, maybe the movie is a bit slow in middle of second half..


Verdict : Must watch for anyone who wants to see good tamil cinema..

A very realistic gangster movie, closely inspired by satya and also executed well...3 cheers to vishnuvardhan !!!
