At last comes the third creation from Selvaragavan after all the delay. Only two persons should be credited for creating the hype around this film all these months. One of course is Yuvan shankar raja for his chartbuster music and the other is Selvaragavan who has an image of making movies on subjects which most of the directors shy away.
Coming to the film ’’7 G Rainbow Colony’’ can be said as just another film where boy meets girl falls in love. But on screen it doesnt look as simple as its said. What makes this simple story worth watching all through the three hours is its wonderful screenplay. Selva’s forte is his characterization and here the characters of Kathir and Anitha is nothing but terrific. The whole film deals with the psychological war between these two characters.
Another important aspect of the film is the views of sex by the various characters. In fact Selva should be lauded for certain explicit but powerful scenes he has scripted towards the latter part of the film. I hope there should be a definite uproar from the people who proclaim themselves as saviours of indian culture.
Acting wise both the roles Kathir and Anitha are really demanding. Ravi krishna and Sonia agarwal had done a good job though I felt there were instances where the performances could have been better. There is a comic touch throughout though some of it maybe termed as crass it is reality.
Aravindkrishna camera work is awesome in every frame. Songs are already chartbusters and there is an additional melody piece. Also the re-recording is jells with the proceedings. Seems the combination of Yuvan and Selva always create firework. Directorially ’’7GRC’’ is Selva’s best and he has proved himself as director with lots of vision.
Personally I felt that the film could be trimmed a few minutes particularly scenes where there was unwanted explanations. But the mass audience might not be able to decipher the visuals alone.
AM Ratnam should be proud for producing such quality cinema. Though it seems the film will click at the box office but still he has to keep his fingers crossed thinking about the saviours of culture!
