Dhool - Taste the Thunder

Somehow I would love to classify Dhool as a different movie from the regular Tamil Movie stuff. but how different ? that is where words fail me. but one Tamil word strikes my non Tamil vocabulary - DHOOOOL. Where as this remains my first attempt to write on a regional movie. So , I am trying to make the review look .. ummm..... well Dhool. Well Taste the thunder seems to be the movie caption, Dhool, in Tamil, actually means power and strength. But sometimes it is used in context where you want to say ’’excellent’’

If you had found me whistling in UDHAYAM theater at Ashok Nagar, ignoring the fact that my girlfriend ( currently upgraded to wife 1.0) is sitting right next to me closing her ears to muffle my whistling sound- blame it on the movie’s music score or the music director Vidyasagar, who has done an excellent job in capturing every part of the Tamil music industry’s attention towards this sound track. Well the songs actually make for a good party blast. Well you can say that I am pretty much decent because I saw my boss dancing on the chairs. The ushers had actually had a tough time brining him back to the seat. No exaggerating. Me and my boss have varying personalities hitting two extremes between a gentleman and a downright ----- ( pardon me but you can fill in the appropriate adjective)

Story

The story goes as thus - So there is this school dropout Vikram who has a love hate relationship with Jyothika, who seems pretty educated (actually pretty and educated) than the rest. While Vikram loves to settle things peacefully than wielding his fists , which he seems to be good at, Jyothika believes that the Pen is mightier than the sword. This town where they live in has a factory dumping its wastes in drinking water ( Does it sound I am obsessed with CIVIL ACTION). vikram, Jyothika and her grandmother Paravai Muniamma leave for Chennai to meet the Minister Kalipandi who contested and won the seat from their place. Landing in Chennai, the trio actually meets with bigger Sharks, wreaking havoc in Chennai ( as if the powers that be who are already in power isn’t enough) who are backed by none other than the Minister Kalipandi himself.

Reasons to Watch

As much as the story goes it is the regular action flick on Tamil screen. So what is so Dhool about this. Here goes

1. The love triangle between Reema ( aah ) Sen , Vikram and Jyothika ( another aah ). This triangle doesnt involve much tears and heart breaks, but provides comedy.

2.Comedy from Vivek who actually has a soft corner for Reema sen. She says She is a cancerian , and our pal vivek thinks she has cancer.

3.The fights seems pretty much real. Vikram seems pretty much capable of breaking a goons hand bare handed. (Is this information handy enough). Except for this one scene where vikram does a 2160 turn ( that’s 360 degrees multiplied 6 times) to hit 3 goons. Needless to say, the goons drop dead. After all its 2160 degrees effect. Got to be Dhool.

4.The songs and dance . Paravai Muniamma ( jyothika’s grand mom) is actually a folk singer, who also gave the hit song - Madurai Veeran. The other songs are just .. What can I say, Dhool. The title song ’’Dhool’’ and ’’Gundu Ponnu’’ ( I sing this to my wife - Gundu Ponnu means stout girl) and INTHADI KAPE KALENGEY AMMADI KARAKOZHUMBE ( compares the girl to chilly curry) and the best of all romantic songs which was played more than once on my wedding reception ’’Asai Asai’’
