chitriyala: Arrambam Movie review

This time it is Thala Diwali, with Ajith sizzling the screen with Aarambam! He has good support with Arya, Nayan, Rana, Tapsee and a horde of cast. Aarambam is a flick where style meets action in a predicted way trying to make it big counting on Ajith's tremendous performance. The story in limelight is the usual Old wine in new bottle and as always the presentation counts and that has made all the difference.

STORY:

Ashok aka AK (Ajith), with the help of Maya (Nayanthara), kidnaps Arjun (Arya), a talented hawker. With the help of Arjun, Ashok crashes the network of a media group.

In the meantime, Arjun also comes to know that Ashok is behind serial blasts in Mumbai. He is helpless however, since he and his lover Maya (Tapsee) are in the custody of Ashok.

Even as performing the orders of Ashok, Arjun lays a trap and ensures that Ashok is caught by the police team, led by Prakash (Kishore).

However, after coming to know the past of Ashok (who is a police officer cheated by a Minister (Mahesh Manjrekar), a top police official (Atul Kulkarni), a media baron and a journalist (Suman Ranganathan), Arjun decides to help him.

While on their mission, the duo of Ashok and Arjun learns that the Minister is planning to cheat the country in a much bigger way. What next is a racy climax.

ANALYSIS:

Ajith clearly sets an example as to what kind of characters an actor above 40 can do. Without any romance or duets, he simply walks away with all honours, with his performance, body language and stunts.

The actor performs dare devil stunts and they are a treat to watch. Arya is impressive and plays an otherwise cool guy who becomes hot due to his surroundings.

Nayanthara, as 'woman friday' of Ajith, is good. Tapsee adds value to her innocent role. Rana Daggubati is the surprise package, as the Tollywood actor, who plays Ajith's friend, reminds us the sacrifice of Mumbai police officer Hemant Karkare.

Kishore, Atul Kulkarni, Suma Ranganathan, Akshara Gowda and others adequate.

Due credits to director Vishnuvardhan and writers Suba, who prove the value of the script and narration. The filmmaker wins for the second time in the company of Ajith, after Billa.

Om Prakash's cinematography is a big strength. On the other hand, the big letdown is songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja, though his background score is okay.

On the flip side, the flashback scenes are little slow and the climax dialogues between Ajith and Mahesh Manjrekar could have been shortened.

But there is no denying that Arrambam is an ultimate Deepavali treat for Ajith fans.

Movie Rating: 3.75/5
