Going
by the title of it, if you thought
Vedigundu Murugesan was a comedy
that will have you in splits,
you are grossly mistaken. It
is, however, in the disguise
of comedy, not the one that
will give you a few good laughs,
the one that will make you slip
into depression for having squandered
your time and money.

It’s not that Pasupathy cannot shoulder
off the responsibility of a full-length
comedy film, but just that the movie lacks
a definitive subject, more so with the screenplay,
dialogues, the flow and hence the performances.
The movie provides some real comical relief
as and when Vadivelu makes an entry. And
that’s not because of Vadivelu’s
clever antics; we are so used to laughing
at the man that his mere screen presence
is enough to stimulate a few laughs.
Pasupathy’s character lacks depth
and it almost feels as if he’s hired
to play the part of a petty criminal only
for his looks. Jyothirmayi plays a police
constable whose major responsibility is
to transport Pasupathy to the court every
time he is arrested. Love blossoms. But
Pasupathy gets into further trouble and
lands up in prison. Well, that’s pretty
much the story.
As is obvious, there is nothing much to
rave about the story and ditto with the
performances and the direction. Awful dialogues,
in the guise of comedy only tests your patience
further as you are busy stifling yawns.
The Cheenichevu Sirippukaari song provides
the only respite in an otherwise trite commotion
of events. But then, you can always download
the song onto your mobile or just watch
it on TV when it’s played.
Verdict:
Strictly only if you like ‘mokkai
mohan’ type humor
