What’s Hot

  • Despite the poor standard of scenes seen all over the movie, there were quite a handful of them that managed to evoke some laughter from the audience with Rajendran in the first half and Vivek’s introduction in the second half. Though Vivek’s signature style with a sidekick coupled with some double-meaning dialogues had nothing new to offer, his double action role did the expected job to satisfactory levels.

What’s Not

  • The movie got everything wrong right from the way it introduced the lead Jeyam Ravi and was pretty much a downward spiral from there. Not an inch of credibility was built into the plot which was loosely narrated with heavy reliance on mindless comedy scenes and silly dialogues peppered all over the movie. It was truly the case of a headless chicken wandering about with no purpose.
  • The director Suraj has totally blown up the usage of the two heroines in the movie with Anjali used to simply to deliver the oomph with her scant clothing and overdone makeup, not exactly what will evoke feelings of love, but still Jeyam Ravi falls in love with her inexplicably! Though Trisha’s character is a natural city bred rebellious and independent woman, she is tamed for no convincing reason by the time the movie ends.
  • The attempts at humor with Soori trying to spoil the romantic advances between Anjali and Jeyam Ravi were blatant disastrous reproductions of what Santhanam managed to nail in Kalakalappu. Soori’s annoying diction and silly dialogues, Jeyam Ravi’s poor skills at comedy, managed to create an impression that we had mistakenly walked into a B-grade movie – A total mockery of the ‘U’ certification the movie obtained.
  • Thaman’s music has not had the desired levels of effectiveness off late and he seems to have struck absolute rock bottom with this movie. All of them are so very similar to what he has delivered in the recent past and the poor orchestration in most of the songs is nothing but a grossly disturbing array of noisy beats

Verdict

Verdict Stamp

If you thought the last time you watched a senseless commercial flick was probably the worst, Sakalakala Vallavan, which misuses a perfectly able star cast due to an outdated and un-intelligent story line, is bound to make you rethink your claim as it turns out to be a gross blunder and probably an insult hurled at movie goers!
