‘Assalt
Arumugam actionukku ready
aayittan....’ This dialogue
spoken by Vivek in Padikkadavan
will not be easily forgotten.
Said with a stoic expression
which defied neither fear
nor any anticipation is perhaps
one of the best delivered
by a ‘dummy don’
on screen. The hairstyle,
the highly exaggerated body
language, the punch dialogues
(said intentionally at all
the wrong places) and spoofs
on many of Tamil cinema’s
famous don characters, playing
out all the stereotypes that
we have seen over the years;
this role was immensely enjoyable.
The timing with Dhanush and
the rest of the team was also
fantastic. |
