Kullanari Koottam - Paruppu Saadham

Director Sribalaji has done some homework about Police department, especially about the malpractice in Police selection. But definitely he didn't have enough stuff to take a full fledged movie about it. So he had some filler first half and 2nd half dwelling on the topic of interest.

I don't find fault with that idea. There have been successful movies with a casual 1st half and serious 2nd half. But in all those movies the first half would have been very interesting, especially humor, dialogue etc and it will also have some interesting lead to the 2nd half. But this movie has a mundane 1st half with hardly any good comedy and even the dialogues were very ordinary.

Even the lead to 2nd half, reason of hero attending police selection to marry his lover was lousy. Hero's police selection friends hailing hero's attempt as something great and trying to make audience feel his love didn't work out.


Hero Vishnu suits well for Iyyo Paavam characters. Except for Drohi, I saw his other 3 movies and his role was almost same in all of them. I think it is good for him to get out of that image.

Heroine Remya Nambeesan is good but not great. Acc to me, Saranya Mohan is the standard for Paavadai Dhavani character. Remya has potential to become some one like Devayani.

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu friends group have appeared in this movie also but they were under-utilized. Other actors were also suiting well but none was impressive.

Music by Selvaganesh definitely needs a mention..Vizhigalile song is one more feather on his hat along with Uyiril edho and Lesa Prakkudhu (Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu)..BGMs were not better than VKK BGMs.

Overall this movie is like Paruppu saadham without salt. Pasikku saapadlam (yes there was a pasi from Tamizh cinema audience because of world cup stopping release of many movies) but rusikku saapda mudiyadhu.... Yes, we don't want full and full masala but there should be at least some amount of salt and pepper :)
