Ilavarasu, Nagesh, Nassar, Vadivelu, Mounika, Sriman, and Aachi Manorama in Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei (2006)

Review by swaroop-mami

Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei

8/10

An Indian Woody Allen?

I might be speaking too soon, but this movie reminded me of early Woody Allens - insane, spoofy, filled with one-liners and intelligent satire... Woody Allen's "Bananas", and "Take the money and Run" are movies you'll enjoy if you liked this. While you go through the experience of watching this, you'll be struck by the number of clichés - and how well they're used to both make fun of the genre and stay within it.

Vadivel packs a punch with his excellent performance and so does Nasser. The movie isn't as tight as it could have been, a snip here and there might just have done the trick. Even production values-wise, there is some work to be done. Given all that, I think this is an excellent start for someone who wants to make his audience laugh...

Watch it if you haven't!
