Radha Mohan's Payanam Movie Review



Guns, Bomb, Terrorists & hi-jack... some thing which we would not have seen in Radha Mohan's earlier movies. In fact a full fledged flight hi-jack movie is new to Tamil cinema.

Movie starts with introduction of all the passengers name & their background who are about to board the flight to Delhi. I would have appreciated if the names were displayed in Tamil too.

Radha Mohan still prefers to cast the same artists from his previous movies which could have been avoided to give a fresh look with few exception being Nagarjuna and Rishi.

Though the humour part was thoroughly enjoyable esp Chaams vs Babloo, it diluted the fear factor and gave a melo-dramatic feel.  

I just admired Nagarjuna, he was so apt for the role, be it his body language, physic, dialogue delivery, emotions, etc. Perfect choice and has done extremely well. Prakash Raj as bureaucrat did not had much scope to perform except few scenes. Thalaivasal Vijay as retired colonel has shown the perfect emotions. 

Back ground music by Praveen Mani  was ordinary. Special mention to the art director for flight interior sand airport sets.


Verdict: Melo - Dramatic Hi-jack
