3

3 is a psychological thriller film directed by Aishwarya Dhanush, who makes her directorial debut with the film. It stars her husband Dhanush opposite Shruti Haasan, The film features music scored by Anirudh Ravichander while the cinematography is handled by Velraj.

Being a psychological thriller Dhanush performs his best as he did for his brother in Mayakkam Enna.
The director has failed to tell why the hero turn to be psycho is it because of the true love that he has for his girl or because his friend had left him without informing?

There are many questions left unanswered during the first half interval for which you find the twist and turns happening in the second half where you come to know that the hero is affected with Bi-polar Disorder. Oh! Man another part of Mayakkam Enna starts here.


~A dog dies hero cries, heroine tries the audience dies!!! ~

Songs are a major plus for the movie all the tracks have some originality in it but pictured poor. The best example is po nee po Pictured at sabarimala.

Kolaveri Di comes out with a better Kolaveri 

Trying to make it look good for the youths marriage happens in a pub and romance happens all time with a psychic touch.

Shruti Haasan has done too much to turn herself in to a school girl which is evident in her physic for which she has lost pounds and too lean to become a 12th standard girl, only thing is that she couldn't bring the feel of the script like whenever you watch her cry you fell too bored to leave the hall even. She could have done better.
Happy for Dhanush that he has just given his word that this will be the only movie he is going to act under his wife's direction.
The hero passes but the director fails since you have such a lively trailer and all the scenes you watch in the trailer is up and over in the 1st half itself.
Siva karthikayen has performed his comedy track with the one liners which giggles you and takes you to your schooling days.
Prabhu has proved he is Sivaji's heir.
Rest of the cast is all added masala to the biriyani.

Cast:-

§ Dhanush as Ram
§ Shruti Haasan as Janani
§ Siva Karthikayen as Kumar
§ Sunder Ramu as Senthil (Friend of Dhanush in Mayakkam Enna)
§ Prabhu as Ram's father
§ Bhanupriya as Ram's mother
§ Rohini as Janani's mother

Final verdict:-
Biryani happens to be delicious by its looks and decorations but in to your mouth down the digestive system tastes poor at the end.
I would rate the movie as 2/5.
It would have been good if the director had taken the story as it was in the 1st half rather bringing in psychic kick for the second half. This is evident how hard it would have been for a debutant.


Other unlucky movies for Shruti Hasaan which turned out to be a big failure in Box office.

Lingusamy in Vettai

Vettai after watching the movie I did have anything coming to my mind regarding what to write? How to write?? I don’t mean that the movie is bad but it’s the same old script inky pinky ponky father had a donkey father died donkey cried inky pinky ponky, But later thought to review the attempts taken in the movie both positive and negative ones.

First comes to our mind is The Director Lingusamy known for his racy scripts which take the three hours in a matter of puffs you get in to the theatre, you have a pop corn done 1st half is complete, then have a large coke the climax yes ! The villain dies yeah!! The hero wins J what.. The..?? Movie is done ?! What then ??? I gave 120Rs for just to drink a coke and to have popcorn ??

Same thing happens here in Vettai too 1st the film has Bi’s in all, like
2 heroes
2 heroines
2 producers
2 villains
Lucky the music is from 1 Music director and cinematography by 1 camera man.

First Hero Madhavan happy to see a hero without 6 packs. Maddy joins with the same director after Run(2002) a gap of twenty movies to the first. Maddy plays the story line of the movie and once again proves that he is worth a mass actor who can do roles both the ways romantic and action. Plays Husband to Sameera Reddy and Cop.



Not to forget the second hero Arya, who is the screenplay of the movie. Who is a jobless rogue.

The story line needs to be revealed here, after the death of their father, a police officer, and the elder brother (Maddy) takes on the same job by request of the younger (Arya). The older brother rises to fame in his job by having his younger brother secretly punish suspects and save victims for him. This angers two of the village's biggest mob bosses (Ashutosh Rana ) and (Muthukumar) , who begin to seek revenge on the elder brother. After getting severely beaten by them, the elder brother loses his fear and becomes physically stronger through training from his younger brother. How the brothers get back at two gangs and protect their families form the rest of the story.




First heroine Sameera Reddy who plays the wife of cop is introduced with a black colored half sari and a song with her younger sister. The movie has two songs in a sequence the heroes and the heroines takes first twenty minutes of the movies shows Lingu’s speed. Next twenty minutes to introduce the villains done 1st half. Best part is the light weight comedy of Arya with Amala Paul who happens to be his wife later.so both brothers marry the sisters which all started from Vanaja Girija (1994).

The character of both the heroines have suited that they look like sisters in real and the costume is also suited well that they look chic and in the legacy attire makes us believe that they are sisters in real. Technically Nirav Shah has concentrated a lot on the location of Thoothukudi and its surroundings but fight seems to be taken at Binny mills a known location for most of the Tamil movies. The color correction done in the movies is cool.

The characters are made such a way that the first hero is too sensitive to violence where as his wife is straight opposite to his character which is visible whenever she meets Arya you will know once you watch it in theatre. Dialogue delivery of Amala is better than Sameera may be the experience of Mynaa takes in account.



Amala Paul who is in for a full role after Mynaa has done her part well, she makes a good pair to watch with Arya and lip sync for the songs have matched well and looks clean.
Yuvan had done the Music and has given heavy BGM’s for the Villains and the heroes.
Editing done by Antony happy that he has understood the script and edited as per the director’s thought.

Cast:-
§ Arya as Gurumurthy

§ R. Madhavan as Thirumurthy

§ Sameera Reddy as Vasanthi

§ Amala Paul as Jayanthi

§ Ashutosh Rana as Annachi

§ Thambi Ramaiah (Constable)

§ Muthukumar as Mari


Vettai also concentrates on its title which comes after 5 minutes shows the masala and mass that is put in by the director. At the outset Lingusamy is known for Entertainment and mass movie with a romance at a corner which is all present in Vettai. If you wish to pass your time watching a sound fight and peppy number and a light comedy watch Vettai.



My rating will be 2.5/5

The negative part is make-up could have been made lighter for the heroines since Sameera is expected to be how she was in Vaarnam Aayiram at least when they are at home and Nasser could have been used better but Nasser takes the screen and audience away in the 3 scenes he comes, shows why Kamal Hassan has quoted “I am Nasser and Nasser is Kamal“.

Final Verdict:- Light but weight Vettai.
