Movie review: Alex Pandian
Cast: Karthi, Anushka , Santhanam, Suman
Direction: Suraj
Alex Pandian is a typical masala film and is a time-pass
movie that can be watched for comedy and action sequences.
Story
It has a stunning beginning with a much-talked train chase sequence. A group of
thugs chase Anushka Shetty, and Karthi comes to rescue her and bashes them up.
The first 10 minutes is thrilling and the action sequence have been brilliantly
shot, despite the fact that the audience can easily make out that the scenes
have been choreographed on a still train at parts.
Immediately after the sequence, we are introduced to comedian Santhanam's
family, which consists of his mother and three younger sisters. Alex Pandian
settles down at his house in spite of stern opposition from Santhanam. The hero
flirts with all his three sisters played by Nikita Thukral, Sanusha and Akanksha
Puri. The first half is full of comedy and a few fights.
The second half shows the true identity of Karthi and Anushka Shetty. The
baddies wants to sign a deal with the state government. As the Chief Minister
refuses to sign, they give a contract to abduct his daughter Anushka.What
happens next should be seen on-screen
The first half is completely entertaining and generates curiosity through
suspense. Santhanam's comedy and Karthi's fights will be enjoyed by audience.
Karthi is once again energetic and has given his best. He has done action
sequences without using bodydouble and looks brilliant in stunts. And he also
impresses us with his dance. Anushka Shetty is colourful. Santhanam is hilarious
at parts and irritating at times due to some poorly written scenes.
Devi Sri Prasad's background score is appreciable and his songs are good.
‘Onnam Class', ‘Thakka Thayya' and 'Bad Boy' are our picks. Cinematographer
Sarvanan's photography stands out of all technical departments...especially, the
train action sequence! Editing by Praveen-KL Srikanth is of average quality.
Director Suraj, who has also penned the dialogues, get full marks in that
department.
