Modhi Vilayadu - Tamil Movie Review


Genre: Romance/Drama

Cast: Vinay, Yuva, Kajal, Santhanam, Kalabhavan Mani

Plot: Family Business

Positives: Vinay & Kajal's impressive acting, Santhanam's comedy

Negatives: Not much logic

Review:

This was one of the movie, i was reluctant to watch after reading reviews from other sites. However, after watching movies like kanthasamy (proclaimed as super hit by some sites) and Eesa, i thought why not i give a try to watch this movie!! It was not disappointing in the end. This movie is different from the other revenge plot movies most of us have recently seen. The story is somewhat new and Kajal agarwal's comical acting is pretty impressive.

Kalabhavan mani is a multibillionaire (same like reliance ambani i guess). His son is vinay. They have a house maid boy yuva. Kalabhavan mani, thinks of himself like Richard Gere from pretty woman. He buys all other small businesses around him and dismantles them. He creates a monopoly around him, so that no one competes with him. In the due process, he creates good number of enemies. What's really baffling is Kalabhavan mani's attitude. He talks like someone from slum and ill treats all his employees, including the CEO of the company.

Vinay has a happy time in lavishly spending his father's money along with his house maid yuva. They both travel places, dance and have great party all day. They even have a chinese cook and a security guy with strange tattoos all over his head. Kalabhavan mani's enemies try to kill vinay and pay bribe to the chinese cook, who puts arsenic in the food. However vinay survives.

Vinay meets Kajal during one of his fancy road drives in his ferrari. Kajal throws a coke can onto Vinay and causes a road accident to Vinay's ferrari. Vinay hires Kajal as yet another house maid to pay for a compensation of 3 lakhs towards damages to his Ferrari. They fall in love in due course as usual (its romance scenes are neatly taken!! Good job by the director). Meanwhile, the house maid servant Yuva also falls in love with Kajal, which Kalabhavan mani approves. The disappointed Vinay drags Yuva to visit Kajal. Kalabhavan mani's enemies aim to shoot vinay and they end up in killing Yuva.

Once Yuva gets killed, the suspense reveals. Vinay loses all his privliges including his fancy cars, house and credit cards. He cannot even get to see Kalabhavan mani. Vinay joins hands with Kochin Haneefa, Kajal and Santhanam to uncover the mystery and establishes himself as the hier for Kalabhavan Mani's wealth.

All the actors in the movie have put in credible performance. Kudos to the director for pulling in a youthful story (though not much logic). Santhanam's comedy is watchable, especially the one he comes like Arya in Naan Kadavul. Mayilsami's comedy as Kajals' boyfriend is funny as well. Overall, this movie is a nice time pass!! Good to watch with friends & family!! Go for it and have a great weekend!!

Punchline Dialogue in the movie -
Vinay - I am like a street dog!! I will come back and fight again & again!!
Kalabhavan Mani - I am like a dog's tail!! I will never change myself :)

Hat's off to whoever wrote the punchline dialogue !! LoL

Shiva's Rating: ***
