“Book the tickets to make fun of the entire movie”, I thought to myself before booking the tickets for Arasangam. I had no intention of watching the movie, but to make fun of Captain Vijayakanth who all the time does comedic oriented stunts of hitting hundreds of baddies at a time and do what all stunts he loves. The film had its opening titles passing on its screen and audiences with the same intentions started whistling down awaiting for our Captain’s intro, which would normally be off a unbelievable annoying action sequence or a song where he appraised by the people.
We waited and waited for his intro, but we were damn disappointed to see Vijaykanth not appearing on the screen for the first 20mins. My God! “An eighth wonder” I said for we had the actor appearing with simplistic manner. You have no horrifying background score or any punch dialogues.
That was the first point where the entire crowd were calmed down watching out for a different show and so did I. The flick moves on moderately entertaining you all with no complex traits for Arivarasu (Vijayakanth), a trainer at Assam Police Training Academy training out young batch of students.
Life moves with a cool ambience for Arivarasu with his wife Aarthi (Navneeth Kaur), but that is until his close friend and brother-in-law Manoj (Biju Menon) goes missing. But this is not alone the problems as the things get complicated with world famous scientists getting assassinated one by one.
Arivarasu – a man mastered over each and every pinch of technique training techniques now stands on the shoes of loosening the knots and finding whereabouts of Manoj and men behind the mystery of serial murders.
In midst of this tough situation, Lara (Seril Brindo) an investigative officer in Canada Interpol Department accompanies Arivarasu in getting hidden dark mysteries into light.
One best thing that Vijayakanth does with this film is that he has never implemented any of his political ideologies. He has completely paved his ways for the innovativeness of Madhesh and made the flick look more perfect. With trimmed looks and style, Vijaykanth does a stupendous job to retain his position in Kollywood with good scenario.
Getting on with Madhesh, the director has well-powerfully crafted screenplay, characterizations and knots. This thriller film has lots of twists and turns that will surely move you edge of your seats. We are sure that will leave off all the attitudes of making fun of Vijaykanth while watching this movie.
Aarthi and Seril have lived up to the expectations with their characters and Rahul Dev does the same with negative role. Biju Menon has performed equally to that of Vijayakanth and it is Madhesh who has used both of them in a good manner.
Well, on the part of Music, Srikanth Deva has somewhat better compared to his previous films and nothing else special from him.
On the whole, Arasangam is a movie that is worth watching and we assure that you will enjoy watching it…
Bottom - Line: A splendid strike from Madhesh
Verdict: OK
Thank you kollywoodtoday, Captain Vijayakanth Vaazhga
