DVD Paiyaa

I never considered Lingusami as a good director in coming up with a good story line or something fresh. Its just screenplay does the trick for him. Here its a yes and no. Initially seems fresh, though wades towards the end.

Story: Without any interest in anything Karthick leads a life where his friends try to fit him into a job. On the day of interview, he sees Tamanna and fall in love with her. (Love at first sight season, I believe). Needless to say, he misses the interview and his friends start scolding him. One fine morning he goes to railway station to pick one of his friend in the car. He sees Tamanna and a person asking him to drop them on Chennai. And the story begins. He goes ahead and Lingusaami looses the knot one by one which makes interesting. A group to get Tamanna follows them and another group to finish Karthi follows them at the same time. At one point of the movie, both the group joins together and why they follow, watch it in the screen if you really want to see the flick after reading the next few passages.

Karthi and Tamanna gives a youthful feel to the movie and alas it didn't continue for a long. Karthi impresses with his performance while Tamanna is still in her kinder garden when it comes to acting! Karthi, has to grow up a lot in dance, though he tried a lot, his brawny looks make it sound awkward at times. Miland Soman though looks stylish has nothing to offer as an actor. Wasted completely.

Songs are very well penned and soothing to here. When you need a peppy number the movie offers it. However not with some intelligence, but for offering sake you are provided with a song. All the songs stand out of place with the movie. And it feels childish, whenever Karthi starts singing with lot of expressions. I don't know how long this saga of singing songs will continue. Yuvan's BGM sounds good when there is a love sequence but damages your ears when somebody is fighting.

Mathi's cinematography feels good and gels with the movie. But too many closeup shots of almost everyone is painful to see at times except Tamanna's! Even am a guy :)Anthony fits the bill in editing.Action- Kannal Kannan sir, If you think if someone is hit with a metal rod for umpteen times and still he can fight, teach me that magic ! I wanna really beat some baddies..

Lingusami as usual tries to portray almost the same story he told in Run, Sandaokozhi with a car and a different cast. But he fails big time, in fitting a story into it, though the screenplay is somewhat paced. Paiyaa has its moments and that's it. Many times, you cant stop getting stumbled upon many of his own movies in the way it told starting from costume, name, art and what else story. That makes Paiyaa the same run of the mill. Lingusami thinks he can give a movie with a decent cinematography, good songs and few intense scenes and that's what people need, sorry sir its is not. What it basically lacks is a script and a strong screenplay to back it up. Paiyaa fails in both the cases.

This movie is an epic love story that happens in the 21st century, unlike the usual movies where the guy goes to the girls house and they decline his proposal and all kinds of things happens where the lover becomes a hero to fight off the bad guys for his love sake !!! I know it's a classic movie story but anyways this movie is totally different that shows how a jobless guy falls in love with a girl who he has seen getting into the bus !! But destiny brings them together again and again until she asks for his help to get away from her family who compel her to marry someone else.Then the whole movie is about their Road trip and what occurs during that trip where both share their secrets and eventually they have feeling for each other, finally we see how their love story comes to a happy ending . The story was well scripted and the screenplay was great. Don't forget the music as it played a key role in this movie for it's success !! N. Linguswamy is known as a very successful director and proves it again with a new story-line that has caught the hearts of many people. Overall this is a great movie to watch !!! The most interesting part I felt in this movie was when we find out that there wasn't just enemies following the girl but also bad guys following the guy for the ruckus he caused in Mumbai. The acting done by Karthi and Tamannaah were excellent. After hits like Bheema and Sandakozhi this is the next epic movie to watch!!!
