#Saamy²Review #ChiyaanVikram #SaamySquare
Sequels are the order of the day now in Tamil cinema and the
Vikram-Hari combo have come out with theirs fifteen years after their
blockbuster hit 'Saamy Square'. Can the
unorthodox, no nonsense cop Aarusaamy still hold his sway among the modern
audiences remains to be seen.
The film opens with flashes of 'Saamy' to refresh the audience on that story line. The sequel begins with our Aarusaamy (Vikram)
taking on a honor killing mob and gives them a taste of his lathi and an earful
of advice on how to respect women. At
home his wife Bhuvana (Aishwarya Rajesh in place of Trisha) conveys that she is
an IAS aspirant and the doting Saamy gives her a thumbs up and breaks into the
"Milagai podi song". In Sri
Lanka Perumal Pichai's sons Ravana Pichai (Bobby Simha) wanting to know the
whereabouts of his missing dad and lands in Tirunelveli and finding the truth
unleashes his vengeance on Saamy and starts ruling the city like his father.
Cut to Delhi 28 years later you get to know Ramaswamy (Vikram again) an IAS
aspirant working as Front Office for a Central Minister (Prabhu). The minister's daughter Divya (Keerthy
Suresh) falls in love with him though he rejects her. Whenever any policeman or parts of his
uniform come in contact with Ramaswamy he becomes possessed by an unknown force
so much so that after his training he chooses IPS instead of IAS. He gets posted in Nellai and needless to add
that he brings down the criminal empire of Ravana Pichai.
Vikram even after fifteen years still looks not a day older
than his self and his acting too has not lost any of its sheen. Its amazing how this senior pro can do both
roles of substance and an out and out mass commercial role with the same amount
of intensity. Keerthy Suresh gets to
play a near dumbo character and is her vibrant self only in the song
sequences. Aishwarya Rajesh appears as
Bhuvana whose character exists just to justify the now famous dialogue
"Naan thaai vayithula porakula..pei vayithula porandhavan. It's clear now why Trisha rejected this
inconsequential appearance. Bobby Simha
is back with a bang and he is no less in his villainy as the son to the iconic
character Perumal Pichai played by Kota Srinivasa Rao in the original. His style of killing quickly with a switch
blade is chilling. Soori's
characterization and his antics are so pedestrian that even the most
undemanding audiences will get irritated every time he appears which
unfortunately is too often.
The strength of Hari is dishing out masala flicks moving at
a racy pace and 'Saamy Square' is no different.
The mass scenes and a few punches hit the mark.
On the downside the film is built on a wafer thin line and
collapses under it's own weight of too many things happening all at once with
no purpose.
Everyone from Keerthy Suresh to Vikram to Prabhu to Bobby
Simha keep traveling in cars,Jeep's and flights somewhere or the other but the
story is stuck in one place and refuses to budge an inch. Post interval its a
mindnumbing assault of moving images that leaves you in a dizzy.
Devi Sri Prasad's songs though a recycle of his old tunes
are foot tapping and colorfully picturised in the film especially "Adhi
Roobaney". His theme music for Vikram is explosive and the crowd erupts in
delight when it is played alternating with Harris Jayaraj's in the original.
Venkatesh Anguraj's camera keeps moving non stop causing an eyesore. Its V.T. Vijayan who cuts Hari's films in
fast forward mode but here to an undesirable result. Director Hari seems to
have completely ignored the fact that a story is needed to drive the screenplay
and scenes have to be fresh to engage an audience
