Things aren’t the same in filmdom and few personalities are expected to take a note of this. If Imsai Arasan was a good hit, there were good reasons to pinpoint it. But Indiralogathil Na. Azhagappan is like dashing our hopes for none of the aspects are worthy getting appreciated. Well, if you think you can watch the movie along with family, I am sorry its an imperfect entertainer and there are few scenes that isn’t suitable for children… Of course, there are some good messages conveyed through this film and it’s good on the part of director, but he fails to present it effectively. May be, I shouldn’t stay back in brining the truth that its Thota Tharana whom should be considered as the main hero for this film…. Getting through the synopsis, let me continue with positive and negative traits of the film…
Azhagappan (Vadivelu) is a jovial man performing stage plays along with his team members. His mother is worried that his futuristic life may be more similar to that of his ancestors who eloped when their wives were undergoing pregnancies…Caring for his well-being, his mother Menatchi Amma (Sumithra) calls on for the help of an astrologer to predict Azhagappan’s future course of life. She is pushed to the pits of shock when he tells her that his son would be happy with the second marriage for his first wife would be dead soon after entering into nuptials.
Azhagappan’s friends take him a beautifully sculpted statue of woman and ask him tie knot with the belief that his misfortunes would be evacuated. But then begins the problem for the statue is none other than one of the heavenly angels Rambai (Yamini Sharma) who turned into a statue since she gets cursed by Indiran (again played by Vadivelu) for disobeying his rule. Sooner this heavenly angel orders her servants to get Azhagappa to heaven. Getting into heavenly ambience, Vadivelu is given an order that he can be together with his friends and family members during day and after dusk he will be carried away to heaven… With things happening on, Azhagappan soon happens to meet both Indiran in Heaven and Yaman in Yamalogam. Encounters that takes place between both of them, hurdles bursting out of it and how does protagonist breaks the hassling aspects forms crux of the story…
A kind attention for those who would like to watch this movie is that there isn’t any need to watch from the first half.. You can get in even after interval for there is nothing you are going to miss there. Let it be songs, screenplay or script, its completely annoying to sit and watch it… Nothing to blame on the performances of all star casts, for they have done a decent job…
It’s a poor direction from Thambi Ramayya and he could have done things better. But some of his aspects in direction and dialogues gains attention. Say, the dialogues uttered by Yamaraja justifying himself is a reasonable one and the judgments given to various evil doers is something good. Getting on with music: I am not clear whether this flick has the background establishments of period genre of films…
Bottom-line : Flimsy flick
Verdict: Watch it at your own risk
Well, I feel it’s being made with the establishment of modern period and I don’t know why much of the background scoring excluding Yamalogam and Indiralogam are being done with olden style of musical score and that’s same with songs… Shriya tripping her toes with Vadivelu for a song has a deviling effect on the audiences. Still don’t understand why she was offered to dance since the song hasn’t got any specialties to mention…
Man to be appreciated here is art director Thota Tharani who stuns the entire audiences with his breathtaking set decorations. They are marvelous presenting visual fiesta to the viewers and hats off to him. Even other technicians have done their best, be it Editor J. Harsha or cinematographer Gopinath, they have played significant role carrying entire film on their shoulder but all works goes in vain.
Vadivelu can be crowned for his bold attempt and nothing for his performance, but it’s the same old kind of stuff you see in him. Indiralogathil Na. Azhagappan is a winner taking in terms of technical aspects, but a great loser when it comes to narrative approach. Also I would like to ask producer Manickam Narayanan a question: How come he agreed to produce this film and congratulate for his bold attempt of doing it so.
