Innimey Ippadithan Tamil Movie
This movie put things in perspective for me... And for that alone we can knock a couple of dozen sins... The lead here is struggling to find the love of his life based on almost looks alone, at least to begin with. And he is fighting a 3 month deadline. He has an EEE degree, can mock you mercilessly, has no qualms wearing high heels and uses the same track used by Thyagaraja Bhagavathar to win over the love of his life...
For a moment you think that the gal actually doesn't fall prey, but hey, what is one average looking run of the mill-wee bit wacky-psycho in front of a formulae used for 80 years? Thankfully, we have a nice climactic twist that wouldn't have worked with anyone but Santhanam as the lead.
The hero looks comfortable in the very shoes he filled in that movie where he shared screen with Power Star. But here, he is the only one vying for the gal(s?) with even an iota of credit. He, just like 3489239510 guys, misses the subtlest of subtle signals from a girl he (in legal terms) publicly harasses and (in movie terms) loves. Once his antics work as much as Rav Jaddu's slow ball, he says yes to another gorgeous gal (the one from kathai thiraikathai....) his parents had fixed for him.
Now you see, the first gal in question was just playing mind games (and eff you too) and actually is head over heels in love, putting our hero in a predicament... Which of the beautiful women should he marry?
A series of unfortunate and unfunny incidents interspersed between songs and few witty one liners unfold in front of your weary, teary eyes. Sure, you laugh at a few of those scenes but as I am trying to squeeze my brain to quote a scene here, all I got is the 1st heroine's overly made up eye lashes and lipstick and... Well, you get the idea right?
Thambi Ramaiyah evokes a few laughs and half of them are pity laughs... VTV Ganesh and his weird romance irk you and there isn't much to say in terms of the songs and stuff, but sure, you get to ogle at the leading ladies' beauty and navel, mostly the navel. No complaints there folks...
You feel let down by the writers as you actually cannot ascertain as to which of those characters deserve your sympathy... I mean, who earns my empathy? The funny scared bloke...? But he is a lying jerk... The wronged whitish heroine...? But she was not direct and is a borderline psychopath around the climax? The dusky heroine...? Well, perhaps yes...
The climax atones to some extent but is that enough to tide over the fact that we paid 500 bucks for a poorly made pop corn and 500 ml of water with 10 ml Pepsi? Perhaps not... Who should we blame...? The directors perhaps...??
