VENGHAI MOVIE REVIEW

Production: Vijaya Productions
Direction: Hari
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Cinematography: Vetri
Editing: V. T. Vijayan

Venghai had everyone in the industry as well as the fans wondering whether the successful pair – Dhanush andTamannah – could ignite the silver screen once again after their super hit Padikathavan, but sadly the movie is disappointing and stale.

The movie has nothing new to offer and has all the aspects that one can expect of director Hari. It has shades of Hari’s earlier ventures all hashed up.

STORY LINE

The movie revolves around three main protagonists Dhanush, his dad Raj Kiran and Prakash Raj. Set in a village background, the story is as old as the seas. Veera Pandi (Raj Kiran) is the landlord, who is respected by the people in Pandipuram village in Siva Ganga district. His son Selvam (Dhanush) is an affectionate, understanding and angry young man, who goes his father’s way. Of course, there’s a romance in the form of Radhika (Tamannah).

Rajalingam (Prakash Raj) becomes the local MLA, thanks to Veera Pandi’s support. But he starts to reveal his true colours incurring Veera Pandi’s wrath. Trouble erupts between them.

Greedy Rajalingam decides to take the extreme step – bump off Veera Pandi. Selvam steps in and it’s now a cat and mouse game between Selvam and Rajalingam.

VERDICT

Although Hari’s films follow a standard template which the movie going audience is well aware of, there would always be interesting knots in the narration that keep the viewer’s interest alive, but in Venghai, these features are very few and the predictability factor takes the pizzaz out from the happenings on screen.

Overall a usual predictable movie added with all the masala that might attract people who seek action entertainers set in villages.
