MOVIE REVIEW: Kuruvi -Species = Extinct rating-2.5/5(from the archives)
For 5 min People:
You know it is a Vijay film and what to expect:you would be more than satisfied coz everything comes in overdosages.action sequences which seem to have been done in zero gravity where vijay simply beats spiderman in spins and leaps.songs are below than average for a VIJAY caliber film:and viveks comedy sags from from start to end:applause for the social theme backdrop.dance=vijay what else can we say?do watch this movie in dvd for get to know that such movies are also produced and directed by people for us to watch!
Rating-2.5/5
For the Detailed guyz!
I was seriously pouncing upon an idea to review an Vijay film for 2 reasons:
1.i have not done one.
2.i Love to criticize.
- when this godsend opportunity happened thru vijay i lapped it up though it made me bankrupt by Rs150/-
- this vijay movie always follow a pre-defined formula:3 stunts+1 glam song+5 songs+hero verus many villains+non-separate comedy track+no social message.
- this one is different on one count:it has a social backdrop.
- Really shocked when people are ready to forego their 120rs booked tickets in satyam!!
Let me name the sheer name of the films from which this one has blatantly plagiarised(refined word for copying):
- Vijays intro scene:dint we all see dhoom2 hrithik’s scene.
- Car race sequence from “too fast too furious”.
- Crushed can scene:we forgot billa 2007 ajith.
- Beating the head:even aping Rajini from Sivaji..NO NO.
- Maks of zorro antonio banderas== Vijay.
- Vijay+Trisha rope drop down= Hrithik+Aish in Dhoom2(copied 2 times)
- Gajendras big sword where he hunts everybody:here we have a small one.
- Nasar in CBI getup:i guess this was an extra scene canned during “Dhil”which was added now:same one nasar.same t-shirt same coolers!
- Lift scene might be inspired from James bond movie(*ing Daniel Craig)
- Blade scene in the airport=good one.
Positives:
1.Cinematography makes you situp esp.those cuddapah sequences simply goood.
2.Setup of cuddapah.was it real one or a reel one mindblowing guys!
3.Udhayanidhi’s Money = more explosions in the film;lavish spending!(Mite be our money).
4.Kallori girl good re-entry+chittibabus exploits+suman’s getup in the beginning+cuddapah raja he remembers gabbar singh(to 35%).
5.Social backdrop of bonded labour at quarries.
6.Vijays dance sequences :simply undebatable till 2010.good work!
7.Vijay’s is going glamorous from ATM lite french beard:cool dude!
Negatives:
1.Out of gravity sequences one in which he jumps from guindy to saidpet distance in one go and still realistically fells short to catch the bridge.what a reality!
2.Songs flow a separate stream in the film for when the movie goes interesting you get a song simply out of the blue!
3.Too much of scenes lifted from various movies.
4.Did we see a bi-lingual Telugu+Tamil too much.Yentra epadi???
5.Why did he remove the shirt he simply resemble like the one as Kallori hero(no offence vijay fans!)
5.Not a single Bandage wound till the end,total head count=1000(died)total bullet count=1000(not a single one hit vijay).Like superman/Spider man Is he Vijayman???
6.Race Sequence:heightest Comedy of all times!! We can do this accelerator wire in TVS 50(50cc) can we in Skoda Octavia(2500cc??)goood thought Dharani.!After the hectic race we are tired but not out Vijayman.??
7.Cro probe oscilloscope wire in suman’s ventillator We are engineers dharani!!
8.Yogi’b songs su###,we have always liked vijay’s film songs even ATM had good songs.where are they?
9.Trisha in the league of nayan and shreya(standing ovation from our sangam)but little scope in the movie:did you fight to get this role.
10.Viveks comedy go from bad to worse:Karuthu can got empty??
11.Songs+Music they are here in 11th point do we need say more?
On a serious note plz vijay do a build-up before doing built-up when doing action movies?
Final cut:Not even for Vijay maniacs then us?
rating-2.5/5
