Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu

v v lifted from Proof of the Man by Junya Sato

The ploy line of Proof of the Man is "When an American is murdered in a Japanese inn, Tokyo police detective Munesue follows the trail of the killer to New York.

There he is joined by a New York City detective named Shuftan and together they sort out the crime" Kamal looks like wounded tiger..

yeah.. v accept it has some technical brilliance.. but not to the high standards..

and the BGM at some scenes very noisy..

i rated this movie 5/10

A brilliantly taken movie by Gautam Menon ! The story revolves around an incomparably charismatic cop - Raghavan (Kamal Hassan) who investigates the case of a serial killer.The movie has been shot in New York and India swapping frames to give a rich backdrop which is certainly a change from the regular old cop movies.

The story begins with a rich introduction of cop - Raghavan who proves his muscles to the local hooligans.Raghavan gets serious into business when his colleague's (Prakash Raj) daughter Rani gets kidnapped.Based on a tip of , he flies to New York. While traveling he recalls the painful memories of his own personal life.In New York,he shockingly finds another case having the similar hallmark of villain.

To ease the tension Gautam had remarkably introduced Aradhana (Jyothika) who gets closer with Raghavan. Melodious songs and active night life of New York would be a good feast to viewers. Raghavan connects up with Detective Anderson to dig deeper into the case which eventually leads to a close encounter with killer.

Raghavan and the killer start playing the game to take on each other and well, you know the good wins over the evil ! Not to mention the gruesome killings & a lot of blood - so the movie is surely not for the faint hearted ! Gautam had written and directed the movie. Harris Jayaraj has composed the music.

Just exclude some of the logical bloopers - I guess consciously done by Gautam to suit the taste of audience. Not to miss - Hunting game!

First of let me talk about the positives in this movie : The movie was totally awesome ... technically .. Its a very different approach followed by the director .. We could definitely say with pride that Gautam has taken Indian cinema to new heights ... ! The story narration was beautiful though it did not have a very strong plot ... Thanks to Hollywood ... Tamil Cinema is reaching new dimensions ... Especially the opening 15 minutes and the scene where the killer talks with Kamal in midst of vendetta .. Just too good ! Kudos to the director .. the real hero ! Though he is not commendable in the plot, as in Kaakha Kaakha, he wanted to prove a point here ... and he does it in style ... Cheers Last but not the least ... The pride of Indian cinema .. Dr Kamal Haasan .... Does a powerful role with so much of ease ... Yet another movie of his to be remembered ..

Now coming to the negatives: Though the director succeeds in a certain way .. he lets you down at certain scenes which are so Indian ... Especially.. When the hero does things out of nowhere and categorizes them as "Raghavan Instincts" .. the scene where the killers escape from the airport .. and the usual coincidence where the killers meets the hero and his girl within minutes he reaches a new city ..

Our heroes which includes Kamal .. For their lack of body maintenance .. (Got to reduce the protruding tummy) Though these are negatives, they just go vanishing because of the style in which things are told ! In a nut shell .. Its a delight to watch this film !

ONE OF THE MOST STYLISH POLICE MOVIE IN TAMIL I HAVE EVER SEEN. GVM'S DIRECTION, KAMAL'S STYLE ,JOTHIKA'S ROMANCE AND MANY MORE TO WATCH IN THIS MOVIE. THIS FILM HAD THE BEST INTRODUCTION SCENE FOR A HERO IN A POLICE MOVIE.

Very solid technical details. The way new york pictured is simple superb. Hats off to Ravi Varman for his cinematography. This movie is not inferior to any Hollywood one. Tamil movies are catching up with them. Great direction by Gautham. Kamal should shed some weight and continue his world class acting. The matured romance between Kamal and Jyothika needs a special mention. Too bad the other heroine Kamalini Mukherjee didn't get much attention. Absolutely no comedy sequences at all in this thriller. Thats a great attempt by the director in these times when comedy is given lots of importance in Tamil movies. Background score by Harris Jayaraj is simply superb. World class.
