Humor
is a serious thing. I like to think of
it as one of our greatest earliest natural
resources, which must be preserved at
all cost- This is a quote of a famous
American writer, James Thurber. For me
and many, this quote does make some sense.
Apparently, the makers of this movie have
treated humor, humourosly. Humor is more
of a science, than an art.
Shiva utters a dialogue in this movie
to Lekha at a casino, "Namakku kidachadhu
mokka cardu. Opponentku adhe vida mokka
cardu". This dialogue suits the movie
better than this scene. Guess Pushkar
and Gayathri intended to tell that, "Namakku
kidachadhu mokka story. Namma audienceku
kudukka poradhu adhe vida oru mokka movie".
Well, craps (mokka) are a part and parcel
of humor. But they become acceptable craps
only when timbered and cut well. This

crappy plot line of a ruralite's
one-night ride in search of a Quarter Cutting amidst
all hurdles, more or less impressed me. A novel one
in Tamil Cinema, with the plot alone. But fell short
in smashing the audience through a loosely knotted
screenplay and weakly etched characters. These were
two noticeable and remarkable blemishes in the movie.
If they had been bettered, the movie would have meant
'something'. But by all means, it was just the other
way round.
Out of this wholesome irritant, the monster irritants
were:
Shiva's Kovai accent- Neither sounded like one, nor
humorous
Lekha
Washington & Craig- Weakly molded characters
GVP's music- Sounded great before watching the movie.
Sorry. I changed my mind, now.
The villain- Lol. Sorry again for calling him as a
'villain'
Yeah. There are a few positives.. Er .. No..
Sorry again.. No positives.. A few points that were
mentionable:
The way the characters were named: Maarthaandan, Chinna
Annan, Periya Thambi, Vettu, Kuthu, Theekuchi, Stupid
Saro, SURA.
SP Charan's acting. Was pretty matured. Could get
a feel of his character.
Mmmm... Thats it , I guess.. Nothing more. Am not
stingy here. Oh yeah. The Interval is a plus factor,
indeed. I got a few minutes off from something that
attempted to tire me out.
My verdict: 2.5/10.. Mathematically, that is a 'quarter'
too.
Sarcasms apart. This is a request from the audience
fraternity. Handle humor seriously and not humorously.
