Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar has finally done it this year. He has broken his jinx at the box office with his latest offering Villan. Some crirtics have labelled this movie as an overdose of masala and even blamed the director K.S.Ravikumar for exposing Kiran too much, but these people where appreciating another movie in the same genre which was a huge hit with the fans and that was Gemini.
Coming back to Villan, the story is about the twins, who run away from their home on hearing the fate of one of them. One of the twins is a bit mentally retarded and he is Vishnu while the other one who looks after him is Shiva. Shiva takes care of Vishnu all the way and one day Vishnu is bashed by the film’s villan Fefsi Vijayan who breaks his hands and legs. Somehow Shiva brings up Vishnu with the help of Sujatha who happens to be the caretaker of an ashram.
To help all the needy and the handicapped, big brother Shiva decides to loot from the corrupt and we are taken for a joy ride filled with some interesting comedy which forms a part of the screenplay. Ramesh Kanna, Meena, Crane Manohar and Vasu Vikram help Shiva to loot. Shiva is a bus conductor and Ramesh Kanna is the bus driver. Kiran falls for Shiva after a small bash and all those scenes are enjoyable. Meena sacrifices her love for Kiran and in the end gets Vishnu.
All the stars have done their part, while Ajith Kumar as the twins has stolen the entire show. He is brilliant as the handicapped cum mentally retarded and equally good in comedy with Karunas. The police men add more insult to Karunas. In the cilmax the twins save the Children and Kiran from the Villan which is a welcome addition to the screenplay. The story is written by Yugi Sethu which may sound old but the screenplay by Ravikumar has made it look fresh and appealing.
Songs are a delight to watch in the screen and they add a huge punch to the movie’s fortune in the box office. Choreography is nice while we have to praise the work done by the stunt director Kanal Kannan. All the stunts are breathtaking and the camera by Ashok and Murthy is first class. Vidyasagar has done his part in the background score and the movie moves in a rapid pace. Sabu Cyril silently steals the show among the technicians with his stunning sets in the movie and in the songs.
Villan is an out and out commercial movie which definetly raises the box office collections and the star value of the ultimate star. While some still cringe that movie is full of masala, what if the movie was a bit more clean and failed at the box office would these critics bail out the producer. The need of the hour in Kollywood now is box office blockbusters and Villan is one among them.
APPLAUSE : Ajith Kumar, Ajith Kumar and screenplay.
AHEM! : Climax a bit too long.
VERDICT : Commercial Entertainer, technically one step ahead in Camera and Stunts.
