It is yet another film,that may find the critic and fan at different extremes on the film.VILLIAN is another masterpiece by K.S.Ravikumar,the king of masala movies and he uses his power to nullify the flaws with an energetic screenplay.The man who benefits is Ajith,who has been searching for a hit for a long long time.As for Meena,it is one more hit in which she hadnt a telling role.Another major success factor in the film is KIRAN Rathod and her non stop glamour.In the three hours,there is a basic storyline and you add glamour,humour,stunts,dialogues and songs in a good proportion,U get something like Villian.
The plot(couteosy galatta.com) goes like this.It is Kollywood's version of Robinhood and the thieves. While Robinhood uses other disguises (did he?) our hero uses the disguise of his twin brother. Ajith plays the role of the bus conductor with ease but he wins the appreciation of all fans beyond all prejudices when he mimics the mentally challenged Ajith. He has done justice to both his roles, as the bus conductor and the mentally retarded twin. The movie recoils back to the story of two twins leaving their home. The elder among the twins Shiva leaves home with his mentally retarded young brother Vishnu when he comes to know his parents decision to do away with his brother. In the city while he is away to work, antisocial elements break Shiva's leg and force him to beg on the streets. Realizing that he can't protect his brother he leaves him in an institution run by Sujatha. He grows up keeping in mind to take revenge on Fefsi Vijayan who made his brother handicapped for life. Shiva grows up to become a bus conductor. During the night he becomes this Robinhood who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. With the help of Meena (who develops a soft corner for Ajith), Ramesh Khanna and a few trustworthy friends he carries out his nightly good deeds. Each time he gets caught in the police he acts as a mentally retarded person. Meanwhile Kiran a college student falls in love with Ajith. He finds to his shock that Kiran is the sister-in-law of the villain who made his brother Vishnu a handicap. The film ends with Ajith scheming his plans to tear the veil off Fefsi Vijayan's face and expose his villainy and with what happens to Meena's and Kiran's love for Ajith.
Ajith has put lots of effort,and he suits the role to a T.No cast is more suitable than Kiran,and her gain with the film is mutual.Meena does a decent job,excluding her hot dance with Kiran.Ramesh Khanna and the sub cast perform as desired,and the noteable person is Karunas.The former pop singer has excellently graduated as a comedian,and promises an exciting fare for the future.Pepsi Vijayan is Just OK.
Vidhyasgar continues his busy and hit run in Tamil Cinema.The numbers are popular,especially ''Adhicha'',thanks to the dance master and TV Promos.The other crew are also wonderful,the camera man,stunt master,and all others.Kudos to Kirans dubbing artiste.You cant blame the crew.
There are situations and consepts,which may fail logicaly.Your tender heart may question at the unshaby portayal of college girls and the mock at motherhood,but you can not expect that from a Masala Movie.In one line,a film that entertaines you well for the three hours,and has no reason to stay in your heart or memory,for a long time.As a fan,I would ask you to enjoy the film.As a critic,I would ask you to stay away for the sake of quality films.
