Pichaikkaran 2

Pichaikkaran 2, the spiritual sequel to its predecessor, falls victim to terrible writing and execution, which ultimately destroys the exciting premise of brain transfer from a poor protagonist to a wealthy individual. Despite a moving story centered around the struggles of the poor lead character, the film's downfall lies in the hands of the lead actor who took over the role of writing and directing.

The overreliance on sentimentality and cringe-inducing scenes detracts from the potential impact of the story. While the movie attempts to explore themes of identity and social justice, it falls short in its execution, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience.

It is a movie marred by weak writing, unrealistic courtroom scenes, and an unsatisfying climax...

"An Average Movie" is an apt description for this film. While it may not be a standout or a groundbreaking piece of cinema, it manages to provide a decent entertainment experience. The storyline follows a familiar formula, lacking in originality but still delivering some moments of enjoyment.

The plot progresses steadily, introducing the audience to a range of characters and their interconnected lives. However, the development lacks depth, leaving the viewer craving more substantial character arcs and emotional investment. The pacing, although consistent, fails to create a significant impact, resulting in a forgettable experience.

The performances from the cast are competent but don't reach extraordinary levels. The actors deliver their lines adequately, but there is a noticeable absence of standout performances or memorable moments. The lack of chemistry among the cast further dampens the overall impact.

Visually, the movie is visually appealing without being exceptional. The cinematography captures the scenes adequately, but there is a missed opportunity to create visually striking sequences or innovative camera work. The production design and special effects, while satisfactory, fail to leave a lasting impression.

The soundtrack, while not particularly memorable, complements the scenes and sets an appropriate mood. It doesn't stand out but manages to support the narrative effectively.

Despite its shortcomings, "An Average Movie" still manages to provide some entertainment value for those seeking a casual viewing experience. It might serve as a passable option for a relaxing movie night, but it falls short of leaving a lasting impression or provoking deeper thoughts.

In summary, "An Average Movie" is precisely what it promises to be: an average film. It lacks originality and fails to deliver exceptional performances or captivating storytelling. However, it can still be enjoyed as a light-hearted and undemanding watch.

I had a great expectation for watching the movie but the first half moved very slowly and even after watching the movie I don't understand why they have been showing the rattle snake now and then... The interval scene made goosebumps.. I atleast expected the second half to be better but that also made me disappointed... Acting was also not upto the mark and the same sentimental scenes were given by Vijay Antony... It was completely impractical and over sentimental... I don't think it's worth spending 3 hrs of time for it! Heroine had no much roles and other casts were also of little importance.. the theme music was good and the voice over was better only that made the movie live.

So Satya, a beggar looking for his lost sister, gets the opportunity to live the life of a billionaire when the people close to the billionaire transfer his life and memories into the body of the billionaire in return for a simple enough demand - be the face for the billionaire's company so the plotters can get rich. What happens when the two parties get into a conflict, and will Satya eventually find his sister?

The plot for the movie is simple enough and it employs an oft used concept - the conflict between living a rich but controlled life and living a poor but free one. The stakes in this case are the knowledge of a crime committed by the evil party and the search for a long lost loved one. With Satya unable to reveal the crime given how silly explaining things would be, and being unable to search for his sister given his new billionaire image, the simplistic plot setup is fairly convincing. But the payoffs feel forced. What happens once Satya and the plotters get into conflict for instance, ruins the entire movie. He just kills them all

Still, the movie manages to bring up interesting concepts post this as Satya forces himself to live the life of a billionaire. If you think about it, it is a neat little concept. Pichaikaran 1 made the protagonist live the life of a beggar, and the roles are reversed in the second part. The problem is, not many would relate to a conflict like this. With the plotters out of the way, Satya could simply live life on his own terms. The past few days could simply have counted for a swift change in fortunes and he could now have lived the life of a multi billionaire. And it's here that he movie gets fantastical and loses its real world connect. And it's also here that the script writers unleash a whole political economical disaster that is laughable and utterly absurd. Satya launches a program called anti bikili- what's with the name? Duh nothing. Just needed a catchphrase is all. They now get subsidised food, groceries, homes and everything, and there is a strong demand from that all billionaires should do something similar. The entire concept of a free market is thrown under a bus. How will this be sustained for instance? Resources after all, are limited. Product prices at the end of the day are majorly determined by the free market in modern times. Supply shortage at the end of the day, will drive prices up. Duh this is what happens when you try to get too smart but don't really understand what you're doing.

As with all mainstream Tamil movies, keep your brains in the car or in the fridge before you turn this one on. A beggar who's been in jail, probably never fired a bullet before, can accurately shoot a moving target hundreds of meters away in the beach with the wind blowing in his face. And oh he can drive a motorboat. And he's an economist. And he knows the law. And he can bash up 50 thugs at a time. WHATTT?! The moral compass of the movie is... mob rule is legitimate rule. If the people like it, it should be encouraged. Just think about the problems this could create in a functional society

Pichaikaran 1 was an interesting watch because it contained a unique setup, an interesting concept never seen before that the audience could relate with. The difficulty that a millionaire would have in living the life of a beggar was well captured and superbly executed so despite its flaws, it was thoroughly entertaining fare. Pichaikaran 2 wildly meanders between reason and fantasy, is unfocused and barely believable. It tries to be too many things all at once and ends up being neither.
