Over the weekend I saw a very good Tamil movie recommended to me by my friend, Chennai 600028 with English subtitles of course :P .The movie has everything-action,drama,comedy,romance- it’s a movie based on a theme that is the nation’s favorite sport-cricket. It showcases from gully cricket to tournament cricket and also the rivalry between two teams-Sharks and Rockers. Along the way it highlights team unity,amity,friendship, fights, interpersonal rivalry, ego clashes and also some minor quibbles that happen in friendship but above all it highlights the spirit of the game which is cricket.
The movie starts and ends with a run out albeit the out come is different for the both. The climax of the movie is the all important cricket match and just like Lagaan it goes all down to the wire-the last ball of the match and few runs required to win. The ending is climactic all right and all the actors have played their role well-notably characters playing Shanmugam,Karthick, Raghu( a former Rocker team player turned Sharks team’s lead bowler) and Selvi’s brother(forgot the name who was the captain in the final for Sharks).
Entertainment throughout with a good soundtrack the movie was enjoyable.
PS: Learnt some Tamil words in the process-machan=buddy,ball podu pa=bowl,thambi=younger brother-these are the few that caught me the most along with poda=go.:P
PPS: I heard Venkat's 2nd film Saroja is equally good as the first and I would check it out once the DVD is released of it with subtitles..the reviews look good so far of it.The star cast is basically the same as that of Chennai 600028 so it should be a good one.
