IMSAI ARASAN 23am PULIKESI - MOVIE REVIEWHE SAID:
Your first thought as you sit to see this movie is, "How successful can Vadivelu be as a hero?" Then as you sit through the movie, you are pleasantly surprised. Vadivelu is actually not bad as a hero. For one thing, it is nice to see an old fashioned raja rani movie after such a long time. The dialogue is pleasing to the ears. After violent movies like pudhupettai, pattiyal and thiruttu payale, ImsaiArasan brings a breath of fresh air to the scorched tamil movie scene.
Overall, a good family entertainer. Now the question becomes, what next for vadivelu. Will he go back to playing comedy roles, or will he try one more movie as a hero? We will wait with bated breath for the answer to that riddle.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 7.
SHE SAID:
Who would have thought that a full-length movie with Vadivelu would be worth sitting through? But surprisingly enough, it is quite good. Vadivelu has done an excellent job in a dual role. He enunciates his dialog well. He is versatile and displays a wide range of emotions quite well. Nasser tries to evoke M.N. Nambiar and Manorama is adequate as the queen mother.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 5.
