Disclaimer: Dont expect a Avvai Shanmugi or Panchathanthiram or Thenali.
The quality of stuff that Kamal Hassan has delivered in MMA cannot match anyone's expectation. MMA didnt had any elements which will excite audience ..be it story, comedy, dialogues. After a tiresome project ( Dasavatharam), Kamal & KSR thought of doing a casual holiday subject. Yes watch out for locations.. loved it and it was well captured by Manush Nandan using Red One Digital Camera.
Kamal could not succeed in writing 'confusing dialogues' like Crazy Mohan & don't expect that in the movie.
None had much scope to perform barring Madhavan in few scenes. DSP's songs and RR was ok.
Watch out for Neela Vaanam song's picturization, I dont think any other Indian artist could have done that Lip sync in reverse slow motion ( in 48 frames) so easily. ( You can find that in "Nakida Nakida" line ,Kadal Sadugudu song from Alaipayuthey). But sad part is, concept was copied from Coldplay - The Scientist.

Verdict: A Boring Holiday

I differ here Sir!!!
ReplyDeleteDialogues were simply amazing and u need to be seasoned to catch 'em. If you've always understood Kamal's interviews, you'll know how cool the dialogues were. Kamal rocks! Fist half half was simply awesome, especially bcos of the dialogues! They were brilliant!
I agree that the humor part can't be compared with Crazy Mohan's. The romance part between Kamal & Trisha could have been better!
Overall a good movie!
@Nitlesh: If you noticed, i meant Crazy Mohan style of dialogues but overall dialogues were pretty cool.
