After the
Blockbuster Petta, Superstar Rajnikanth has joined hands with AR Murugadoss,
and is back as a cop after decades in Darbar. While the promos presenting a
refreshing, energetic Superstar in his elements, let's see what Darbar has in
store.
Aaditya
Arunachalam, the commissioner of police, Mumbai is on a gangster killing spree
as he's on a hunt for someone. Cut to the flashback and we get to know
Aaditya's face off with the deadly Hari Chopra whose son he had killed, and
this also leading to the loss of his daughter. Was Aaditya able to trace Hari
Chopra and eliminate him is what Darbar is all about.
Rajnikanth is
energetic and has a magnetic screen presence. Be it his bonding with Nivetha
Thomas or the massy moments, he excels with his energy levels visible in every
frame and the man charms making one wonder if he's 70. Nivetha Thomas gets a
good role and she emotes well, in the limited scope she gets. Yogi Babu
entertains and guarantees laughs with his one-liner counters and trolls
Superstar in a fun way. Nayanthara doesn't have much to do in the screenplay
and her parts actually appear as speed breakers. Suniel Shetty is the biggest
disappointment of Darbar as he neither gets the scope to emote nor does he
appear menacing with very silly moves, and his character is weakly etched that
you never really feel like watching a deadly villain on screen. The rest of the
cast including Prateik Babbar, Dalip Tahil, Nawab Shah are adequate.
The first half
establishes the bad cop Aaditya Arunachalam, and presents the sequences that
lead to his conflict with Hari Chopra, the main antagonist. Superstar's
stylish, energetic looks and screen presence holds the movie together, and
though the romance track appears as a diversion, Yogi Babu's one-liners
generate laughs.
The second
half starts with Hari Chopra drawing his first revenge over Aaditya and from
then, the screenplay doesn't pack any punch, as Aaditya proceeds further to
trace Hari but the latter doesn't pose any serious threat to Aaditya. With the
villain not being powerful, the movie ends in a rushed manner.
Background
score by Anirudh is good with the perfect usage of Superstar theme, while of
his songs Chumma kizhi and Tharam maara are appealing. Cinematography by
Santosh Sivan is top-notch, capturing the action mass sequences and the stylish
Superstar in all glory. Editing by Sreekar Prasad could have been better, as
the proceedings are dull in the second half.
Director AR
Murugadoss is back after his political entertainer Sarkar, with Darbar, a cop
flick with Superstar Rajnikanth. The movie gets going right from the opening
sequence, as Superstar arrives as the mad cop on a killing spree, and though
the romance sequences with Nayanthara looks out of place, Yogi Babu brightens
the sequences with his trolls. After the engaging and entertaining first half,
the stage is set for the second half for the clash of Aaditya and Hari Chopra
but as you expect fireworks, it is this part that falls flat. The war between
Aaditya and Hari Chopra never really engages, as Hari Chopra's ways to counter
Aaditya doesn't really trouble him, and the finale is a damp squib with Aaditya
finishing off Hari with extreme ease. It's a Superstar Rajnikanth show
throughout as the man never looks like he's 70, and charms, generates fun,
exudes energy and is vibrant and powerful on-screen making a strong presence,
and carrying the movie on his shoulders. It is his presence that makes you
ignore the weak antagonist and the flaws in the screenplay. Anirudh's superstar
theme reworked background score is a highlight, and the technical aspects of
Darbar are good. Only if Murugadoss had concentrated on the screenplay in the second
half and given a proper competition for Aaditya Arunachalam with a strong
villain, Darbar could have been a completely satisfying mass entertainer. With
Suniel Shetty's poor characterization, Darbar settles as a routine entertainer
that works in parts.
