The
young Turk of the industry
who has a huge fan following
and a series of hits under
his belt has dished out Sachein
for the Tamil New Year. Vijay
looks best in roles, which
require him to portray tenderness.
He wins the competition thumbs
down as the successful romantic
hero of this generation of
actors. So, Sachin produced
by Kalaipuli S.Thanu, is a
romance and gives a sense
of déjà vu.
It is a near rehash of Kushi.
Set in Ooty, the story revolves
around Vijay and Genelia who
study in the same college
but do not know each other.
On a rainy day, they come
together and Cupid strikes
both. Vijay declares his love
but the lady spurns him to
make him testy. Vijay wagers
that he will turn the tide
within a month. The lovers
unite after a series of songs
and fights.
The film’s main scoring
point is the excellent cinematography.
The camera has captured the
beauty of the Nilgiris in
its full majesty. A romantic
film necessarily means several
dream sequences and duets
and the picturization has
been very good.
Genelia as the rich, spoilt
girl who treats everyone with
disdain has done well. Her
expressive eyes and emoting
ability have been brought
out nicely. Bipasha Basu,
whose appearance in the film
has been hyped up, has played
the vamp and the item girl
role to perfection. Her skimpy
costume and sinuous gyrations
will make hearts aflutter.
It is a cakewalk for Vijay
and his role has been etched
out keeping his fans’
expectations in mind. His
comedy track with Vadivelu,
who is his collegemate, is
quite run-of-mill. Sandhanam
from Lollu Sabha has come
ahead in this movie after
Manmadhan. Also,
there is an unnecessary insertion
of a few fight scenes to portray
the hero’s machismo.
It does not fall in place
in the overall mood of the
film.
