Jai returns to the Kollywood
screen after creating waves
last year and a few major ripples
this year. He might have been
happy about the waves of 2008,
but the ripples of 2009 did
leave him in a tight corner.
But, we don’t want to
go into the details of all those
issues, they seem done and dusted
in the best interest of everyone
involved. Now, Jai is back to
stake his claim as the young
promising hero of Kollywood
with Vamanan.

Vamanan – the name immediately gives
inkling about the plot. It has to be about
a man who appears harmless to start with,
but grows into menacing proportions when
the situation rises, just like in the epic
where Vishnu’s avatar Vamana expanded
enough to cover the horizons when he had
to find a way to remove the asura Mahabali
from earth.
Jai plays the role of an ordinary city youngster
whom you would not suspect of any extraordinary
deeds. But, circumstances drive him to become
a hero to save him and a few others from
the clutches of villainy. Said in a very
raw and realistic manner, without any over
the top heroism, Vamanan is an action thriller
entertainer.
Jai has proved his caliber as an actor,
and Vamanan is his chance to move onto the
pedestal of a star. Going for him in his
endeavor are quite a few factors. The presence
of seasoned artistes like Oorvashi, Thalaivasal
Vijay, Rahman and Sampath will no doubt
strengthen the movie. Also, the two heroines,
debutante Priya Ananth and new hit girl
Lakshmi Rai will add to the color of Vamanan.
Yuvan’s music is yet another highlight.
He has reportedly tried to compose and render
music that is as real as possible. The songs
have found some appreciation, but it is
the movie that has helped its popularity
soar. Aravind Krishna has said that Vamanan
has been one of the biggest challenges of
his career. He has given the movie a dry
urban look
Directed by Ahmed, a former assistant of
Kathir, the movie has indeed got the potential
to make a good impression. Will Vamanan
rise to the occasion like the avatar from
mythology? |
