pokiri review

This post is the reason why my profile in orkut featured the POKIRI pic.
This post is the result or should I say outburst after a wastage of 60 bucks.
The film has nothing new except for the posh interiors of the villian's place. But even I could spot a few resemblence with the sets in DON. The story has usual elements of songs and fight sequences, beyond which there is nothing to expect in any film. So, where does the film scores less? And how would your 60 rupees get distributed in wastage.

Rs.10
It scores less even from the posters. DO you argue, it must be the mistake of the theatre?
Its te mistake of the censor board. The certificate given is U/A. But the film should have been given A. The gunshots keep donging your ears for a long time even after the end of the movie. Whats the use of giving a U/A certificate when you don't know when to take your child out? funny ppl...

Rs.25
The next area where the movie scores less is the choice of the heroine. When the director needs a glamour element, it should be a choice amon Mumtaz to Namitha and not Asin. Someone like Asin cannot be accepted when she tries to be glamourous.

Rs.5(because comedy track is just an addition to the screenplay)
Vadivelu's perfomance was abysmal. I think he is taking over advantage of his fan following these days, or else he would have done with decent comedy sense. The ugly looking policeman(one of the villians) is infact tolerable than vadivelu.

Romance is another area where some 20 rupees of mine was lost.I was infact at the edge of my seat when romance was on screen because it needed a lot of concentration to sense it was romantic.

I wasted another 25 rupees of mine in the last half an hour. I think I lost it when the greatest suspense of the movie was believed to be unfolded by the director and others at some point in that time. Actually the way it was unfolded needs a great applause.

plus points- music(awesome), choreo, prakashraj, vijay(he has done the role to perfection).

so, 10+25+5+20+25=85(60+ popcorn rs.5
icecream rs.5
chips rs.15)
