Well am up with my 2nd review. And again its a very positive one. Mayakkam Enna!
Mayakkam Enna is purely a very different movie but with SELVARAGHAVAN stamped all over it. Karthik Swaminathan (Dhanush) is called "Genius" by his friends. But he isnt the only genius in it. Full marks to the Captain of Geniuses Selvaraghavan.
Cast & Crew :
Dhanush (Karthik Swaminathan) - As usual a brilliant performance.
Richa Gangopadhayay (Yamini) - Every man's dream. And every director's dream actress. Again a briliant performance.
G.V Prakash (Music Director) - Haunting, soulful music . BGM is brilliant.
Ramji (Cinematographer) - Brilliant visuals. Brings the entire movie to life.
Selvaraghavan (Director) - Genius.
At first the gorgeous Bong beauty making her debut in Tamil , Richa Gangapadhayay comes across as a beauty with brains and a few a add-ons like great acting skills, dialogue delivery, expressions. Yamini comes across like slut in the begining but towards the end you would start worshipping and respecting women as every man would want a wife like her.
Next is the maestro in the making, GVP. His music is haunting as ever. Especially the BGM sinks in you and takes you into the story. No comments about the songs as they are already chartbusters.
The man through whose eyes we travelled into the journey, Ramji. I think he is being under-credited by the audience and critics. He brought life and the mood to the film. Sheer Brilliance. The Tone, Frames, Angles, lighting etc was simply amazing.
The national Award winner! He reconfirms that he thoroughly deserves it. I never saw the actor Dhanush in it. I saw just Karthik Swaminathan and no one else.
The REAL GENIUS -Selvaraghavan! Amazing, mind blowing, awesome Screenplay and direction . I felt the same kind of feeling as I get while watching a Manirathnam film. Usually with such a talented team , a project might lose its sheen midway due to overdose of it. But Selva's handling of everyone is clearly visible in this near perfect magic.
Last but not the least the support cast and crew. Sunder played the character very naturally . And Padmini (Pooja balu) a special mention as I knew her during our Tamilnadu rowing days. She has not acted in it. But played herself as a cute, bubbly, chirpy hyper active girl. If she conitnues her acting sojourn she is sure to make hearts swoon just as she did to the boys in the national rowing circuit. Apart from them you can see all the hard work of the cast and crew as a team together
The film as a whole is a bliss . A brilliant teamwork with a talented team and a Maverick Genius Selvaraghavan.
Oh! Almost forgot. A special thanks to Gitanjali Selvaraghavan .Because I think thats made his heart very light and Selva has found true love in her and thats reason for the happy ending.
And If I had a chance I would like to ask Selva "Athu yen eppoluthum unga padathula hero Konjam crackve irukaru?"
Verdict : 4/5 . Watch it if you are a fan of GOOD cinema and bored of the commercial potboilers. Come out of the theatre and you will feel like waking up from a beautiful dream. A brilliant film, entertaining as well with a social message. "Follow your heart"!
