Eththan Movie Review Indiaglitz


Call 'Eththan' a sequel to 'Kalavani' with a difference. For, after 'Kalavani', producer Nazir and actor Vimal have opted to go the same way - coming up with a simple and straightforward film set in rural Tamilnadu about the life of a callous youth.
Debutant filmmaker Suresh, who had worked under ace director Balu Mahendra, has sketched the life of a young man, who borrows money left, right and centre and fails to repay them.
He has touched upon a serious theme but dealt it in a lighter manner. The movie proceeds in a brisk way and is flashy in parts. However the lacunae here is the grip over the script. It is jerky and deviates at many places from the core theme.
Vimal continues from where he left in 'Kalavani'. As a mimicry artiste, his antics is sure to evoke laughter. Watch out for dialogues by Suresh, whenever Vimal tries to escape from money-lenders. It is sure to evoke laughter.
Sanuksha of 'Renigunta' fame plays the heroine. Young and chirpy, she fits the bill. It is yet another dignified performance by Jayaprakash, the most-wanted 'dad' of Kollywood, while Singam Puli succeeds in evoking laughter at many places.
Sathyamurthy alias Sathya (Vimal) is the son of a school teacher (Jayaprakash) in Kumbakonam. Vimal is a happy-go-lucky youngster, who yearns to do business. To achieve his 'mission', he borrows money from all quarters and is almost drowned in debts. Even as his father advices him to start leading life in a right manner, enters Selvi (Sanuksha), a student.
Sathya gets acquainted to Selvi and his life takes a turn. Meanwhile, Selvi gets into trouble and the baton is passed on Sathya to ensure that all goes well. How Sathya helps her overcome troubles and does romance blossom between the two forms the rest.
Vimal does his part well, while Sanusha is right choice for the role and emotes well too. Jayaprakash as school teacher delivers a punching performance. Manobala, M S Bhaskar and Mayilsamy form part of the cast.
Music by Taj Noor is okay and the exception maybe the song with lyrics in reverse 'Eththan' is a movie that begins well but loses direction as it progresses.
On the whole, 'Eththan' has its moments of brilliance. But a sense of deja vu prevails at many places.
