Kazhugu - Only 'Story' is missing

"Wow Munnar again after Mynaa!" was the reaction after seeing first half. Those tea estates, misty mountains very interesting and new characters of those taking out dead bodies of people who have committed suicide by falling into the ghats......... in fact the start of this movie was far more promising than Mynaa. But unfortunately the most important requirement for a movie, i.e. story was not there resulting in boring 2nd half.

Hero Krishna Sekhar, I am seeing him for the first time (He has done few child and hero roles before). Looking like director Vishnuvardhan photocopy (of course he has to be :P) but in some angle he also looks like villain Daniel Balaji. So he has some scope for doing villain roles. Apart from appearance, he is a very promising actor; brilliant performance in this movie. He is going to get lot offers.

Bindhu Madhavi was not very promising like Amala Paul of Mynaa (sorry but I some how feel like drawing comparison with Mynaa). Thambi Ramaiah and Karunaas are strong pillars of this movie. Jayaprakash, for a change is a little more rougher villain in this movie. 

Cinematography by Sathya is the best part of this movie. One should watch this movie in theatre at least for his camera work. Of course tea estates and western ghats will appear beautiful. But the kind of 'close to natural' lighting which he has used gives a great feel. Good work boss!

No typical flashy or catchy Yuvan songs. Paathagathi and Aathadi Manasu dhaan are numbers which will slowly get into us. Aambalaikkum Pombalaikkum and Vaadi Vaadi are not forced kuthu numbers but much needed for the situation. Even BGMs were good. So overall 'Music for Movie' by Yuvan.

Director Sathyasiva is definitely a good technician and movie maker. If he had concentrated a little on the story and gave an interesting 2nd half, this movie would have gone into trend setters list. Now all the blood and violence without any story is unfortunately pushing it to 'headache movies' list
