Buffoon

This movie will not be suitable for a masala audience, but okay for an average cinema viewer.

Personaly I liked the natural practical realities of life and it's flow shown in this movie. But I won't celebrate it too much. Because it lags on some points. But strictly not a bad movie. It lies between an average movie to a super dooper movie.

The casting is perfect except two characters: Actress: her lipsync is not that much good.

Police actor (Tamil): His acting is not that much like Jai bheem.

Vaibhav acted well, Infact I love his movies personally, and this one is very pleasing.

The friend chacter looks like comedy performer Amudhavanan, but he acted well.

All the other supporting characters are also okay.

Finally, If you have some time and a relaxing mood, you are ready to go.

If you like more masala movies. Please don't watch this movie, just stay where you are right now.

Good one but still expected a better climax. The screenplay was exceptional considering the directorial debut and the performances from the lead cast definitely needs a special mention and when it comes to maintaining the suspense of the entire plot the director has managed it to perfection. The climax was a partial letdown but not entirely though as there are other sequences in the movie that override the shortcomings of the climax. Its definitely a good one time watch but a must watch for the people who like the suspense factor when it comes to watching movies. This movie definitely deserves 10/10 but only partial disappointment is the climax.

If you're planning to watch this movie, I would request you to wait and think about it another time. I expected a lot more from the movie.

The movie starts like a political satire and ends in a way that would leave you confused. The story revolves around an induvidual who steps out of a political party in power to start his own. An attempt to oppress the induvidual ( who also owns a cocaine mafia ) is the gist of the story.

The act performed by the stage artists were great. Vaibhav really mingles with the gang. Apart from that, nothing in the movie is appealing. The heroine part and the Srilankan tamil issues looked out of place. I must say that they could have given both these attributes more back story and screenspace. The way the story was narrated was confusing and was incomplete right from the begining. Well, not every gansta movie is like KGF but one fails to see the heriosm of anyone in this movie.

The climax of this movie is the worst part of the movie. Director should have come up with a better plot.

Ashok Veerappan's debut directorial Buffoon is an engaging thriller that explores how far an ordinary man will go to save his life. Kumaran (Vaibhav) and Muthaiah (Anthakudi Ilaiyaraja) dream of going abroad, for which they need to scramble a lakh each. So they temporarily begin working as lorry drivers. But when they somehow get entangled in a drug trafficking case, their struggle to find a way out forms the rest of the film's plot. The film manages to address multiple issues through Kumaran and the people living in his orbit. Kumaran is a theru koothu kalaignan (street play artist), and is putting up a street play when we are introduced to him. Through subtle details and sequences in passing, the film manages to highlight the issues faced by such artists, who are often strapped for money. Buffoon also touches upon the issues of Sri Lankan refugees, mainly through Ilaiyaa (Anagha), Kumaran's love interest. The film's ability to seamlessly shift from the issues of street play artists to the personal problems of Kumaran, who battles a drug mafia, and a bigger political game, is how its screenplay shines.

Though the director has worked with sensible movie maker Karthik Subbaraj. Couldn't believe this is his first movie as director. Ashok Veerappan bro, you have great future. I wish you achieve great heights. I saw this movie and was predicting the climax but I was wrong because you had good multiple twists. (Fact is every human keep changing their decisions when they are behind money) You have explained "GREED" very well. What I liked the most in the movie other than the climax is, the escape journey to Kerala and how he returned to back to TN lawyer house. Pulling Joju sir to this role was awesome, I loved the father role and his acting should be appreciated. Police character, he was good asusual. In the previous movies of Vaibhav's, he has been chilling and casual. In this movie, he was serious and confused state of mind. His acting was also good.

What could have been better: His friend missed somehow in the ocean, all of a sudden he is returned. This line could be done better.

All the best to the crew for upcoming projects.
