Malai
Malai is Feathertouch Entertainment’s
maiden production venture and
the company does not seem to
have any budgetary constraints.
Arun Vijay and Prabhu are affectionate
brothers. Arun fights against
injustices and elder brother
Prabhu has a firm belief in
Arun that whatever he does and
fights for is

right. Arun works in Pazhani as a tempo
driver. When he visits his uncle, he meets
RJ Vedhika from Chennai who gets attracted
towards him looking at the Good Samaritan
that Arun is.
Arun sees Kasthuri and finds a good life
partner in her for Prabhu. Meanwhile he
loses his job due to a small mishap in his
work and proceeds to Chennai to seek greener
pastures. There he meets Vedika again and
cultivates his love.
Prakash Raj is the local baddie in Chennai
who terrorizes the public and on his birthday
bash on the road, some miscreants from his
group misbehave with Vedhika. The typical
macho lover boy that our Arun is, bashes
up the baddies along with Prakash Raj. This
turns out to be a great insult to Prakash
Raj who loses his MLA ticket. It is only
natural that he wants to avenge his insult.
The twist, if at all there is one, comes
in the form of Prabhu’s visit to Chennai
when he meets his school buddy who is none
other than Prakash Raj.
Did
Prakash Raj avenge his slur? Did Kasturi
and Prabhu marry? What happens to the love
of Arun and Vedhika? Rest of the film is
all about the answers to these questions.
Arun
Vijay does his part sincerely. Besides dancing,
Vedhika tries to act too. Prakash Raj and
Prabhu prove once again that they are veterans
after all. Santhanam and Lollu Sabha Manohar
tickle our funny bones sometimes. Kanja
Karuppu is just passable. Mani Sharma’s
Pooparikka Solluma passes muster.
Scenes and narration are the same old run-of-the-mill
types but for Prabhu’s and Prakash
Raj’s friendship. Director had attempted
to give something different but his efforts
fall flat.
Verdict:
Hollow hillock
