Kuruvi - A curse to watch...




Kuruvi - Suttu kollunge

After the mega flop "Azhagiya Tamil Magan", Vijay was supposed to bounce back in Kuruvi with the Gilli team, which was a run away hit in 2004. The movie was planned for a May 2nd release but was postponed to May 3rd coz of the IPL match in Chennai. Kuruvi is the debut film from the Red Gaint productions, the home productions of Udhayanidhi Stalin. It was very obvious dat it was the first movie of the production house, coz of the marketing done for de movie. Stepped into Satyam after fighting for a 120 rs ticket (dis has becum quite usual des days) for the night show at 10.15 PM on the first day. Knew dat the movie didn't get a great reception, but still went for it with a hope over Dharani, de director. The movie began with an ill-favored car race, guess Vijay says "why only Ajith can drive, but even I wil do it". The highly expected Vijay introduction was in a nonchalant style, with even de die hard fans of the star showing a beam through their face.


The whole storyline can be guessed within the first 15 mins, when manivannan makes his un-distinguishable promise to the villians. Vivek was able to provide atleast a very minimal comic relief in de movie. But he too was pulled out after the intermission. There was a huge commotion in the theater during the interval - A fan of Vijay was suffering the beatings on behalf of his thalaivar from his friends for having pulled them for such a movie ;)

Music was better, as usual in all Vijay films. The song pallanadu sung by vidhyasagar was a gud number and will make ppl tap their foot. The re-recording was gud and supported the so called action packed movie. Vijay trying to expose his non-existing muscles was one of the most weird concepts of the movie, apart from his idiotic stunts. Suman and ashish vidyarthi provided the role of bad men. The talented actress Saranya was very hardly used, nd the facial expressions for which she is known for was total irrelevant. Trisha as usual appears in scenes just before and after each song sequence. Malavika was wrapped-up for shaking her legs in the opening song, but audience seldom found her on screen except to provide a smooch for Vijay.

Usually Vijay remakes some telugu movie, but dis movie is shot mostly in andra (cudappa). There is some huge sentiment associated with Vijay and gulti, I suppose. The film was taken to malaysia nd singapore without any reason, may be just for de sake of high budget stunt sequence. The Kuruvi team which aimed at a block-bluster wil end up in just scattering a great amount of shit at the box office. Really a curse to watch it.

Positives: Dasavatharam trailer in the beginning :) :) :)
Vivek Comedy
Song Sequences

Negatives: Storyline
Screenplay
Action
