Evano Oruvan - The review

The best movie I have seen in a long time.

Evano Oruvan - The review

Looks like my stint with good movies keeps continuing with this one after Polladhavan. Evano Oruvan is a class apart. Its in a totally different league altogether. It does not make you think, it does not propose a solution, its definitely not a trend setter. What it does is , slap reality right on your face. Its so strong that there was a deafening silence when people walked out of the movie hall.

The movie is a remake of the Marathi Film Dombivli Fast directed by Nishikant Kamat (who dons the role in Tamil as well). Its about a common man's upsurgence against the society in a rather dynamic manner. Madhavan as Sridhar Vasudevan is a banker who abides by his ethics that everyone is being taught only in school. This earns him the disrespect among his co-workers, his wife and the society. Angered and cornered, he turns against them with violence as his weapon. The moment with the shop keeper is so well made and written that you feel happy for Maddy once he has shattered the shop left, right and center.

Sangeetha as the housewife is brilliant and has ideally underplayed with her emotions in the second half of the film. Its never too melodramatic.

Seeman as the corrupt police officer full of heart, wins your sympathy. His portrayal is top notch. He has the potential to become a commendable character artist.

This is an attempt to take Tamil Cinema to the next level. Do appreciate it. The Tamil audience once did a terrible mistake by staying out of the movie halls of 'Anbe Sivam'. Hope they would not repeat the same mistake again. Please do go and watch it.

Evano Oruvan - A film about you and me. Its a must watch.

Rating - 8/10.

Cheers.
