Kolamaavu Kokila Movie Review by Praveena | Nayanthara |
Yogibabu | Anirudh | Coco | Kolamaavu Kokila Review
One film that had all the right buzz going for it this year is 'Kolamavu Kokila' especially
after the "Kalyana vayasudhaan" song featuring Nayanthara and Yogi
Babu went viral. Does the film with
novel and dark theme live upto its hype remains to be seen.
Kokila (Nayanthara) is a meek girl who is the sole bread
earner of her family comprising of a good for nothing dad (R S Sivaji) a
terminally ill mom (Saranya Ponvannan) and a college going sister
(Jacqueline). In her quest to save her
mother Kokila faces a dilemma whether to give up her modesty to rich men or
take up a dangerous illegal assignment and earn the fifteen lakhs she
needs. She chooses the latter and
whether she succeeds or not is told in an entertaining manner with the laugh
out loud moments few and far in between.
Nayanthara as Kokila carries the film on her shoulders more
by her star power screen presence than
her acting skills. The scene where she
maintains her meek demeanor even as she orders the killing of two people gets
the applause as well as her outwitting both the villains and the cops in the
end. One cannot deny that at times her
expressions border on artificiality and her character is written rather
flatly. Yogi Babu as the one sided lover
of Nayanthara on entry gets a thunderous welcome equal to the leading lady and
he does not disappoint one bit. Right
from pining for Nayanthara to getting caught in a huge mess because of her and
trying to quit the scene he rules.
Equaling Yogi Babu and even surpassing him in comedy is YouTuber Anbu as
the one sided lover of Jacqueline and the hyper henchman Tony, both of whom are
great finds for Tamil cinema. Its a
different take too for Mottai Rajendhran who delights as the baddie who rhymes philosophy. Television anchor Jacqueline on debut has
carried her role to perfection getting her own scene in the climax when she
lures one bad man after another to his death.
Saranya Ponvannan does her usual thing as the cancer stricken mother but
in the second half she gets a flip of character that brings the house
down. R.S.Sivaji, Harish Peradi,
Saravanan, Arandhangi Nisha and the rest of the cast all have their bits to
score in the screenplay.
The first positive of 'Kolamavu Kokila' is the fresh subject
that breaks stereotypes and manages to stay dark till the end. The humor too is refreshing and mostly off
the beaten track which makes it all the more enjoyable.
On the downside in between the hilarious sequences there are
longer ones that defy both logic and clever writing to hold the audience attention. The reason that Kokila takes to such a
horrific crime is weak and since her characterization is also flat we dont
really travel with her in her journey.
Both the criminals and the cops are pedestrian and there is no real
tension to pep up the scenes when the heroes are on the run.
As expected Anirudh is the backbone of 'Kolamavu Kokila'
both with his super hit songs punctuating the sequences as well as the
background score that leans heavily on Spanish strings. Sivakumar Vijayan plays
with lights to add reality while Nirmal's cuts is stylish without going too
jazzy. Debutante Nelson has delivered a
true blue dark comedy that works does bring the laughs but has not pushed the
boundaries.
