Her father Muthaiah, played by Rajkiran, is a character so sad and so bechaara that you as the audience would end up feeling sorry. Komban sees, falls in love with, and marries Palani (as is expected), played by Lakshmi Menon. Karthi, unfortunately, has been pigeonholed into this 'angry young man' stereotype, becoming a Tamil film knockoff of Amitabh Bachchan in his younger days. Komban sees himself as a crusader for the public good, or a Robin Hood of sorts, standing up for the little guy, which usually results in a violent standoff against the oppressor. The hero of the story Kombaya 'Komban' Pandian, played by Karthi, is a hot-tempered but kindhearted villager, who is accompanied in his escapades by his uncle, played by Thambi Ramaiah. It follows the same old overused formula yet again. The story is incredibly cliched and predictable, the actors play the same roles they are famous for, and almost nothing about this film really stands out. The city audience might not take the film seriously as the fights get a bit overwhelming after a point in time.ĭespite its star cast, Komban is a huge problem from start to finish. The film will definitely work in B/C centers because they can easily connect with the film.
But that climax fight with god possessed Rajkiran running around forest and Karthi kicking the bad guys in the backdrop of GVP's BGM was the highlight of Komban.
Karthi paruthiveeran padri joke movie#
You wont even realize that the movie got over and try to understand what the director wanted to convey. Breezy first half, uninspiring post interval, a decent climax fight and abrupt end. There were more than 8 fight sequences, which even B/C Center audiences will feel a bit too much. If the focus is on relationships, then those unwanted fights should have been avoided and made the film more engaging. The idea was make something similar to Paruthiveeran but Komban falls short. He looked threatening and gave a tough competition to the hero. Super Subrayan as a villain was too good with his expressions. Thambi Ramaiah filled the gaps with his timing dialogues and antics. The director could have brought out more out of him. The veteran Rajkiran didn't get enough scope to showcase his acting abilities. Lakshmi Menon is an expert in this kind of village girl roles and she was excellent. The dialogues and facial expressions were perfect. Karthi fits quite well and delivered a flawless performance. Karthi performed them with ease.Īcting wise, Komban is brimming with loads of performances. 160 minutes is way beyond the human tolerance limit and lot of scenes could have been trimmed to make the film more racy and tight. The focus kept shifting and the cuts were abrupt. Karruppu Nerathazhagi was good and shot well too. Climax fight BGM was the best in the entire film. The camera placement during the fights was good. The story was predictable and lacked the emotional connect.Ĭinematography by Velraj was good and he captured the rural setting in its original form. There was no time to soak in the emotions, when the film deals with relationships. Even before you start feeling for the character, there is a cut and this unwanted villain makes an entry or a song or Thambi Ramaiah cracks a joke. 2nd half was intended to be emotionally engaging but it failed. First half is commercial so it goes off in a flash. The director didn't give us the time to understand what he is trying to convey in the 2nd half. Fights, love, songs, sentiment, humor and bit of message, which I failed to understand.
Screenplay has everything you can ask for.
Rest of the film is about how he bonds with his father in law amidst local politics and fights. The wife and the father in law walks off and we reach the interval block. He does not have a good feeling on his father in law and breaks his head once in a heated argument. Under cinematic liberties, they get married without any fuss, thereby cutting all the cliches. He sees this girl Palani and falls in love. Kombaya Pandian is an angry young man, who cannot tolerate injustice even one bit. I sometimes feel that nobody can do a rural character so good, that he literally lives the character but this time Komban falls miserably short of Paruthiveeran, though the stories are different, the comparisons are inevitable. After Madras, which was a runway hit, Karthi is back with what he knows best, the Vesthi's, rough dialogues, generous thigh show and of course his striped bermudas aka Pattapatti.
