Ilaya Thalapathi’s 49th
film is here, the countdown
for 50 begins. But before we
start looking too far ahead
for the landmark half century
film, there is Vettaikaran that
is vying for our attention.
When you step into a theater
for a Vijay film, you clearly
know what to expect. There is
going to be no time wasted on
formalities, subtleties or the
so called messages, it will
be full throttle entertainment
on screen. Vijay films are synonymous
with the fully commercial Kollywood
fare and the man has been delivering
the goods unflinchingly for
nearly two decades now. As he
moves closer to the 50 mark,
the only things that seem to
have changed are the stakes.
The number of fans is huge and
the expectations are big. So
can Vettaikaran satisfy the
Vijay fans?
Vettaikaran reportedly tells
the story of an IAS officer
who goes undercover on a mission.
In the interim, he also meets
the girl of his dreams and love
happens. There comes a time
when the mission and the consequences
get a bit too personal for his
comfort. How he solves all problems,
finishes off perpetrators and
rescues his love form the basic
plot of Vettaikaran. There is
admittedly nothing much path
breaking about the plot. It
is the

execution
of the subject and the star presence
that has to carry off this film. Execution
is with new director Babu Sivan. His
credentials will be on test, but it
has to be said that he is indeed lucky
to be able to direct Vijay on debut.
Vijay, expectedly, will be his usual
self on screen, the trailers have
given enough evidence. The punch dialogues,
the high flying fights will all be
there for the fans to enjoy and exalt.
Anushka will be a refreshing presence
of the Tamil screen after quite a
while, her pairing with Vijay is certainly
going to be a new and different viewing
experience.
You
cannot talk about Vijay’s movies
and not mention the music. The dance
numbers are so very integral to any
Vijay movie experience. There are
a few here too, set to tune by Vijay
Anthony. ‘Karigalan…’,
and ‘Naan Adicha’ song
have already grabbed a lot of attention,
the latter especially because Vijay’s
son Sanjay too is a part of it.
With all commercial elements that
go towards the making of a Vijay film,
the new Vijay-Anushka pairing and
a few hit numbers, let us hope that
Vettaikaran ushers in a late Diwali
for all Ilaya Thalapathi fans. |
