The long wait is over - literally for all. Be it Selvaraghavan, Karthi, Reema Sen or the audience who were yearning for an ‘adventure’ film. Selvaraghavan, who is known for his adapt handling of mind-blowing sensitive issues (read human emotions), should be a relieved man now.
Two and half years of his hard work is out for the audience to watch and relish. But is the wait really worth? To this question, the answer is both 'yes' and 'no', for the film is a mixture of surprises and dissapointments.
A look at the film, it is evident why it has taken toll on the time. An engrossing, enthralling and entertainment was what Selvaraghavan would have planned. But he is only partially successful in his attempt, as the second half takes all the sheen away the first half provided.
In other words, the filmmaker seems to have been firm on what he wanted to do, but it did not come out with that exactly on screen. At the same time, films on such genre are a rarity in Tamil cinema. One can't spot a single movie in this genre in Kollywood before. Selvaraghavan who strives for perfection in every frame of his, seems to have taken the lead to fill the void with 'Aayirathil Oruvan'.
His shrewdness of blending the lives of common man with such complicated themes is amazing in 'Aayirathil Oruvan' too. There is no love or family or other such elements in this film.
But what is striking is that a down-to-earth coolie ( Karthi) setting out as a help to archaeologists who sets out on a mission. Quite typical to his earlier films, it is the heroine around whom the major part of the story is set and revolves.
DVD RIP
