Ghajinikanth Synopsis: A forgetful young man falls in love
with a girl whose father hates his condition.
Ghajinikanth Review: With his previous two films, the adult
comedies, Hara Hara Mahadevaki and Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuthu, Santhosh P
Jayakumar earned a name as a hit filmmaker. Now, with Ghajinikanth, a remake of
the Telugu hit, Bale Bale Magadivoy, he attempts a comedy for the general
audience. However, the film exposes his shortcomings as a director and shows
that the success of his previous films had to largely do with the adultness of
the content and less to do with comedy.
His protagonist, Rajinikanth (Arya), was born in a theatre
screening Dharmathin Thalaivan, and like one of Rajinikanth’s characters in
that film, has a forgetful nature. The film doffs its hat at the older film by
introducing its protagonist in underwear - he has forgotten to wear pants! This
condition of Rajini is a constant source of embarrassment to his parents (Naren
and Uma Padmanabhan), as they cannot find a suitable match for him. One
prospective girl's father, Sathyamoorthi (Sampath) even insults Rajini because
of this.
But as fate would have it, Rajini ends up falling in love
with Sathyamoorthi's daughter, Vandhana (Sayyeshaa). But the girl is unaware of
Rajini's forgetfulness. But how long can he continue with this facade,
especially with Ajay, a cop who wants to marry Vandhana, trying to expose him?
Despite the film offering great scope for comedy,
Ghajinikanth is entertaining only in places. The direction lacks a feel for the
material and is largely flat. It doesn't help that Arya seems miscast. Rather
than let the material generate the comedy, the actor tries too hard to make us
laugh. And there is a distinct lack of chemistry between him and Sayyeshaa, who
looks too young in some scenes where we see them together. It is left to the
score to convey how we should react to a scene
That said there are scenes where the comedy works - like the
episodes where Rajini tries to show off his forgetful nature as philanthropy,
or the ones where Rajini and his friend (Sathish) swap places and try to cheat
Sathyamoorthi. A baby-naming ceremony, where all these characters end up
face-to-face, is quite hilarious. Some of the counters by Sathish, too, land
well.
But most often, the comedy is a hit-and-miss affair, with
the number of misses being greater (like when they try to pass off rhyming
words (Sunny Leone and Dindigul Leoni) as their shtick). There are also a
couple of times when adult jokes creep into the mix. And Vandhana's character
feels like something written for Tamizh Padam 3. In the end, the film strongly
reminds us of its hero - mildly amusing but instantly forgettable.
