Villu Hit or Flop???

(My Review)

Movie: Villu.
Starring: Vijay, Nayanthara, Vadivelu.
Direction: Prabhu Deva
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Production: Ayngaran International.

Rating:*****(1.5/5)

Villu is Prabhu Deva’s version of the Hindi box office hit Soldier. if Prabhu Deva made a good adaptation of Soldier things would’ve been any better. Prabhu Deva has successfully made the army operations appear as if it were a one man attempt.

Vadivelu’s unimaginative comedy track has absolutely no connection with the movie’s main plot.but, it serves as a saving grace for the movie in many instances.

Nayan’s presence serves the purpose of eye candy. Villu’s story is reminiscent of the pre-historic Tamil cinema formulas such as son taking revenge over his father’s killers to satiate his mother’s wishes. And of course, there is time for love, double crossing, comedy and some sentiments . Ravi Varman’s cinematography appear hazed even in the foreign locales. but vijay’s stylish new look help a lot.
