Bairavaa

I am writing this review on seeing the movie and also as a vijay fan. This is vijay 60th movie which expects more from him . Did the expectation fulfilled. Vijay himself sets a boundary line for himself as action comedy message now a days . But in this movie it is overloaded. The story line is Weak and the story telling is also weak . Vijay give a chance to bharathan for second time but it is disappointment only . In the later movies he fights for farmers and now he has fight for students and studies . In this movie many things were told about he is doing dual role and he is a college student but both of them is not true . In fact heroine is studying in college and he takes the problem of her and fights for the villain . Director has only focused on vijay role and other character were not established . Most of the scenes were only in set that is also not good . Music director has bigger role to play but only one song and theme music is OK and also he totally lose his scope in bgm . Editing work is not so special . The only good thing in the movie is fight sequences . Stunt director has worked very hard and it is really good . Director's dialogues are not so good . Last but not least if this movie has directed with different director or bharathan should had concentrated more it would have been a decent movie . Vijay has tried to do different in puli movie but the execution is poor in this movie the story is simple and the execution is also simple . I hope he will do good script with proper execution

This movie is about a kind bank officer who gets in the way of a corrupted and ruthless businessman to bring out his immoral activities and during the process helps out a collage girl.

It's the same plot all over again the usual story for example there is a hero there is villain the hero wins at the end in the process he meets a girl the heroine and falls in love with her. The only thing I liked about this movie was the BGM and the action scenes. Vijay has to change his usual acting to do something different and unique because I bet the audience is bored with this kind of acting as he is being doing this from the movie Pokkiri. Keerthi has to do a lot to improve her acting skills. There were some serious scenes in this movie which can be made into funny GIF as it was all so overly done. Now speaking about the songs some were OK some were really bad especially the first song of this movie which was dragged for no reason none of the songs got pasted into us cause none of them were catchy. The movie itself was dragged in many places because if you fast forward the movie it is actually a one hour and fifty minutes movie but instead it was a two hour and forty minutes movie. The ending of this movie had something to do with the movie shooter and it was predictable.

NO I would not recommend people to watch this movie.

My Rating 5/10

The whole story revolves around Vijay, his screen presence is the biggest plus. The action sequences, emotional performances, romantic part and being funny he carries the entire movie on his shoulders. The only sideline would be his voice modulation at some places might seem artificial.

Keerthi Suresh as the lead pair has done her role to the perfection. She doesn't have much screen presence but has utilized her time span well. As a homely Nelai girl she excels in look as well as acting. The comedy track by Rajender and Sathish were peppered here and there. But one might feel few scenes should have been trimmed. Jagapathi Babu, Thambi Ramaiah and Daniel Balaji have put their experience into action, which worked well.

Though cast has done well, the screenplay falls flat. The first half was engaging with good scenes here and there to keep the audience engaged. But the second half falls flat. The one bold step by the director was to keep Vijay away from the much predictable flashback, which is a rarity in Vijay's film. If you go to a masala entertainer you should be ready to accept logical loop holes. The same happens here, especially in the second half the movie becomes predictable and finishes with less excitement.

The savior would be the interval block fight scene, pre climax fight scene and few others. Vijay has energized the action scenes and his fans will go crazy. The cricket fight bring in Whistles for sure.

Bairavaa (2017): After the super success of Theri (surprisingly) Vijay returns with yet another commercial potboiler called Bairavaa. I always have a doubt on Vijay's stardom because apart of his amazing dance skills,his acting is strictly meant for his fans.The same applies to his movies (except Kaththi and Thuppaki),which are only meant for his fans.The same applies to this utter rubbish Bairavaa.

Plot: Bairavaa (Vijay) meets Malarvizhi (Keerthy Suresh), a medical college student, at a wedding and falls in love.When Bairavaa realizes that Malarvizhi is embroiled in a bitter legal battle with the corrupt chairman of her medical college, he promptly becomes her knight in shining armor.He accompanies her to her hometown in Tirunelveli to meet real estate tycoon Periyakannu (Jagapati Babu), who is the town's biggest bully.Periyakannu owns most of the business establishments and educational institutions in Tirunelveli. He and his accomplice Kottaiveeran (Daniel Balaji) rule the town with an iron hand.His medical college is a sham with no facilities and Malarvizhi and her friends, who have paid a lot of money for their seats, are fighting for their rights. The flashback shows the rape and death of Malarvizhi's friend Vaishali (Aparna Vinod), another student, who has sold her home to get a seat in the college.So how does Bairavaa save Malar and fight against PK forms the rest of the story?

Plus Points:

1)Flashback: A decent flashback is the only saving grace of Bairavaa.Though it has regular scenes,the setup in medical college and the problems faced by medical students in private colleges with no facilities are showcased well enough.

2)Varlaam Vaarlam Vaa Bairavaa track: Though it has bit Kaththi theme touch to it,still it felt good during fight sequences.But they overused in almost every fight scene which felt so repetitive.

Minus Points:

The director attempts to highlight corruption in medical colleges and the plight of students, who have no assurances even after shelling out huge sums of money for a seat. But the plot is lost in the director's over enthusiasm to portray Vijay as an all-powerful Messiah.

Bairavaa has typical outdated screenplay which tests our patience.The fun part is that they have used scenes even from the decade earlier movies like Sye,Mudhalvan,Temper,Dabangg etc.

Even fights have no freshness in it.In few fights,they have used Thuppaki and Sarrainodu bits.

Music is total disaster.What happened to Santhosh Narayan?

So,Bairavaa has all the ingredients to become a huge hit only if it had released a decade earlier.But now it became overly outdated.

My rating 4.5/10

First time watch awesome movie Act is good by all acter.
