Tamilarasan Movie Review: Tamilarasan is all heart, but where’s the brain?
Tamilarasan Film Evaluation: Babu Yogeswaran’s Tamilarasan is a movie that is stuffed with flaws, like a affected person affected by a number of medical points, however there’s one criticism that you simply can not lay in opposition to it… that it lacks coronary heart. For, on this movie a couple of coronary heart transplant, the characters appear to vary hearts as conveniently as slipping out of a hospital robe. These emotional transformations are as sudden and unpredictable as a cardiac arrest. Maybe we should always be thankful for such unintentional poeticism in a movie with a weak pulse.
Its protagonist, Tamilarasan (Vijay Antony) is a cop, of the bleeding coronary heart sort. He and his loving spouse Leena (Ramya Nambeesan) obtain the shock of their lives after they be taught that their son Prabhakar (Pranav Mohan) has a weak coronary heart and the earlier they go for a transplant the higher. They get him admitted to a hospital, which, sadly, cares extra about earnings and is stuffed with cold-blooded directors and stone-hearted docs. With a minister, too, in want of a coronary heart, poor Prabhakar turns into low-priority for the hospital. An enraged Tamilarasan decides to take their coronary heart specialist Dr Muruganantham (Suresh Gopi) hostage and pressure them to deal with his son first. Can he save his son, particularly together with his corrupt superior Rana Pratap Singh (Sonu Sood), a person who already has a bone to select with him, making an attempt to place him down?
Tamilarasan is the type of movie that, even on paper, looks like a affected person in want of a medical miracle. The movie’s writing is as haphazard as a health care provider’s handwriting and its tone retains shifting erratically, like a affected person’s fluctuating pulse. How else can one clarify the swap in tone between a scene the place a boy is preventing for his life with a scene the place Robo Shankar does his limp comedy by making a double entendre out of the phrase physique. Giving him stiff competitors is Yogi Babu, whose comedy entails rhyming mosam poiten with movement poiten.
Like a pharmacist selecting to disregard a health care provider’s prescription, the movie does away with analysis with regards to organ transplantation. This strategy solely results in scenes which are painfully melodramatic and unintentionally humorous. If the thought was to reveal medical corruption and greed in hospitals, we have already seen all of it competently executed in Ramana — 20 years in the past! And it has cops coping with the hostage scenario in such a laughable method that makes the cops in Bhagyaraj’s Rudhra look like environment friendly ones.
We additionally get an ensemble solid of skilled actors, like Suresh Gopi, Sangitha, Kasthuri and Radha Ravi, however their performances are as medical and devoid of emotion as nurses aiding a surgeon on an operation desk. Ramya Nambeesan, in the meantime, is left to do two issues — romance Vijay Antony as if he is Vijay Sethupathi in Sethupathi, and act as a frightened mom. And because the central character, Vijay Antony, as common, is earnest, however past that, his efficiency is as stiff as an unresponsive affected person.
That stated, the movie, like its lead actor, is honest. It desires to be socially accountable, and tucks in references to the Thoothukudi shootout. It stays politically appropriate on the subject of speaking about girls. However when the remedy is as old style because the songs that Ilaiyaraaja dishes out, it leads to a movie-watching expertise that’s as boring as watching an IV drip.
