The theme of rebirth and reincarnation seems to be reigning
high in tinsel town now. First it was Shah Rukh Khan's
Om Shanthi Om, followed closely by Sila Nerangalil.
The latest to join the bandwagon is Vaitheeswaran, directed
by debutant Vidhyadharan.
The story is very simple. While on his mission to plunder
jewels from a temple, Sayaji Shinde kills a small boy
who happens to spot him. Being a witness to this dastardly
act and at the same time powerless to counter Sayaji
(because of his clout), the boy's mother vows that Sayaji
will be killed by her son in his next birth after thirty
years on a new moon day. The rest of the film deals
with the fears and trepidations of Shinde, and how he
goes about combating his death threat. Will Shinde be
killed as per the curse?

Talking about performances, Sarathkumar as the psychiatrist
has allowed the director to completely mould his performance.
He looks much younger and has delivered a very cool
and nonchalant performance. In fact among his recent
releases, this film showcases Sarath in a fresh and
revitalized fashion. Meghna Naidu seems to have understood
what is expected from her and has followed a liberalization
policy with her costumes! Her glamorous looks is one
of the selling points of the movie. Manobala and Santhanam
provide the comic relief while Sayaji has put in an
earnest performance. As the astrologer, veteran Vijaykumar
delivers the goods perfectly.
The pre-interval session of the film proceeds linearly
on track, but the first twenty minutes post interval
is a little grueling for the audience. However, the
film picks up momentum soon after. Reincarnation is
a widely debated issue, evincing varied opinions.
But this aspect has been discussed in the film back
and forth and the director's apprehension on which
side to fall is clearly evident. A unique feature
of the film is that the hero meets the villain only
in the climax sequence. The twists and turns of the
movie are enjoyable to an extent.

Srikanth Deva's music is ordinary. But what is different
about the songs is that there are only two. Both songs feature
a very sexy Meghna Naidu. Cinematography and editing are
just passable.
|
Verdict: Go without expectations and enough time, you might
enjoy it.
