Ah, Villu (2008)-the movie that promised action, comedy, and thrills but delivered confusion, cringe, and chaos. Directed by Prabhu Deva and starring Vijay in a dual role, this film is a reminder that even charismatic actors can't save a script that feels like it was written during a power outage.
Let's start with the plot-or the lack of it. Vijay plays Pugazh, a man on a mission of revenge that's so convoluted even he looks confused half the time. The story jumps between action sequences, dance numbers, and flashbacks with the grace of a drunk kangaroo. By the end, you're left wondering what the point of it all was.
And then there's Nayanthara, whose character seems to have been written solely to flaunt her wardrobe of skimpy outfits. Sure, the filmmakers probably thought they were "attracting audiences," but most of us prefer entertainment with dignity and culture, thank you very much. Her cleavage might have been a talking point, but it does little to distract from the fact that her character has the depth of a puddle.
The only saving grace? Vadivelu. His comedy scenes are the sole reason this film earns its two stars. His timing, expressions, and humor are the cinematic equivalent of finding shade on a hot day-it's the only relief you get in an otherwise unbearable experience.
