Flooded with new faces -- Pazhaniappa Kalloori
Usual storyline: Pazhaniappa Kalloori
Genre: Romance
Director: Pavan
Cast: Pradeep, Gajini, Madhushalini, Arjuman Mohal
Storyline: Happenings in a college, and after…
Bottomline: Script should have been more realistic, and editing tightened.
Many film stories in recent times are based on a college and its campus. Anbalaya Films ‘Pazhaniappa Kalloori’ is one. The director himself is new and he has the guts to use more number of new faces in his film. This is mainly because An
balaya Films has till now done more than dozen films and new faces are their main choice.
Pradeep is a college goer, who is soft spoken. He takes care of his studies and wants to help his mother. His mother Rohini is a road side idli shop vendor. In the college he is attacked by another student, Gajini. When the college elections come up Pradeep makes a friend contest against Gajini. His friend wins. Gajini gets furious and beats him up. At one time his book is burnt by Gajini. So Pradeep gets furious and fights with Gajini.This makes the dada, Kutti, encourage Pradeep.
After beating Gajini the soft guy becomes the hero of the college. Madhushalini loves Pradeep but he wants to marry Arjuman Mohal the beauty queen of the college. But she refuses him. After being a rowdy in the college does he change?
New faces galore
Pradeep on one side looks like Ajith and on the other side seems to be like Prasanth. But he must learn more in terms of acting and so do the two heroines Madhusalini and Arjuman Mohal. Ganja Karuppu has a bigger role and he does it convincingly. Gajini, is another new comer, whose body and its language must grow bigger and brighter. The bigger dada, Kutti, does a better job. Rohini fits the bill of the mother credibly.
Patnayak who scored music for ‘Jayem,’ has worked in this movie with some good songs. But the only problem is that one feels he has heard the tune somewhere. Among the six songs three would certainly have a repeat hearing.
The camera work by Seenu is pleasing but he must have sat for the colour correction. The comedy is based on bawdy dialogue, which is disgusting. Krishna Davinci’s dialogue minus the comedy part is better. Edior Surajkavi should have worked with out hesitation to chop off the unwanted scenes, which could have made the film move faster. Director Pavan should have burnt the midnight oil more to do the script, packing it with enough incidents with twist and turns to sustain audience interest. As it is his first film one can pardon him, but will the audience?
