because he has just finished a bottle
of liquor (not because he was shot
down by Pandiya).
Of course, the funnier part is that
he is playing a college student and
his college mates are… Manobala,
MS Bhaskar and Vennira Adai Murthy.
It is almost as if you can sense the
humor in the air when these three
names are mentioned together, that
too as college students. And, in keeping
with the most honored tradition of
Tamil cinema, a model from Bombay,
Disha Pandey, has played the heroine
in Thamizh Padam.
For a spoof, the film has an excellent
technician, Nirav Shah, handling the
camera. The entire film has been shot
on the Red One camera. Kannan has
scored the music and there is a song
which reminds us of all the famous
gibberish sounds that have become
hits. The man at the helm of this
spoof, Amuthan, was an ad film maker
before he made the jump to the big
screen with Thamizh Padam. With a
funny take on all that is over the
top and predictable in Tamil cinema,
Thamizh Padam should be an enjoyable
experience for all those who love
a good laugh even if it is at the
expense of your favorite star. Producer
Dayanidhi Azhagiri should also be
commended for taking on a whole new
genre of cinema. Let Thamizh Padam
be a successful start to the genre
of spoofs in Tamil cinema. |
