Haneefa, Santhanam, Ajay Kumar
Direction: AL Vijay
Music: GV. Prakash
Production: Suresh Balaji |
|
|
Being
inspired from an award winning movie is not new to Kollywood,
but doing justice to the story is tantamount to tightrope
walking and debutant AL Vijay passes this litmus test with
flying colors. A straightforward story with unpretentious
characters, captured on celluloid in a most simplistic fashion.
The movie set in Trichy, is all about an honest police constable
Rajkiran, who dreams of making his son, Ajith a sub-inspector
of police. Being an honest policeman always comes along with
its taglines, and when Rajkiran 's dream was about to come
true, he is shifted to one of the most treacherous areas,
Kodiyakkarai, a place ruled by a local dada Ajay who dislikes
his honesty. |

|
One
thing leads to another and Ajith ends up thrashing the villain and
now the wounded villain is keen to take revenge. And the rest of
the movie is all about how Ajith faces the problem and whether he
becomes the inspector or not. |

The
movie is shot very well but is not without its share of minuses
as the director fails to sustain the momentum in the second
half that was generated in the first half. Kreedom's post
interval session seems to delve deep on melodrama which will
undoubtedly bring the fairer sex to the theatres. One such
scene is where Ajith is sent out by his father due to a tussle
which makes him loaf around the town and enter his house late
in the night. On his re-entry, Ajith’s Mother, Saranya,
beckons him to have food and at that instant, all the members
of the household come out with their eating plates, not having
eaten a morsel of food without him the entire day. This sequence
is sure to open the floodgates and make the audience wish
that they were also part of this affectionate family unit. |

|
| It's
very hard to pick who impresses more, Ajith or Rajkiran. Ajith has
performed his part with consummate ease and looks dashing. His screen
presence and dialogue delivery justifies his huge fan base and is
likely to fetch him more fans. Rajkiran as Ajith's father has given
an immaculate performance. His acting skills have been continuously
honed to perfection and Kreedom is certain to be amongst his best. |
|
Trisha's
role is not a miniscule one but has a prominent part in the
proceedings and she excels in it. Saranya's performance as
Ajith's mother is very natural. Vivek makes a fleeting appearance
but it is Santhanam who steals the limelight. VMC Haneefa,
does a brilliant cameo in the movie. Ravi Kale as the inspecter
was a revelation. Ajay as the villain thinks being a baddie
is just about talking loudly and screaming at a high pitched
decibel
The emotional and sentimental dialogues by AL.Vijay and Na.Muthukumar
will definitely go well with family audiences. AL.Vijay has
done a perfect job in selecting the right artists, and has
extracted the best from each one of them like an experienced
director. He sure does have a bright future in the tinsel
world. |

Music
by G.V. Prakash needs a special mention and especially the Akkam
Pakkam number which lingers on long after we walk out of the theatres.
Camerawork by Thiru is nothing short of exceptional. Seamless editing
by Anthony adds to the credit of Kreedom.
It's a good realistic attempt towards meaningful cinema. But if
the sluggish pace in the second half is taken care of, the movie
would have been much crisper.
Kreedom will categorically be Ajith's prized trophy in his filmi
career.
Final Verdict – Complete family entertainer.  |
