KANTHASWAMY – Chiyaan Vikram had got his trophy this time too. The film is pure commercial masala entertainer that strikes fine balance between style and substance and also has neat message. The film has all the trademark super-hero movie elements like flashy action scenes and eye-popping special effects. But, actually it is not a super-hero film that is the twist in the film.
The film opens as normal film showing ordinary people flocking to a Murugan temple which has become famous as all their wishes can be fulfilled at the temple. The people wrote their wishes in a piece of paper and tie it to a tree in the temple.
KANTHASWAMY (Vikram) dressed as a rooster picked up the letters of the ordinary people from the tree and in a Robin Hood way provides cash and succor. This made the local DIG (Prabhu) feeling some what unnatural and he starts investigating about it.
At the same time there is a brave and daring CBI officer KANTHASWAMY (Vikram), and he has the IQ of a genius, the strength of a bull and speed of cheetah. He is on the mission to uncover black money and illegal wealth of rich and corrupt Indians saved in foreign banks and he believed these are responsible for all the crime in our society.
He conducts a raid in the palatial bungalow of Pallur Paramajyothi Ponnusamy or PPP (Ashish Vidhyarthi) and finds unaccounted cash and documents of various foreign deals over Rs 1000 crore. Shriya plays the role of villain’s daughter and she swears revenge on KANTHASWAMY and pretends to fall in love with the hero.
The introduction scene of rooster KANTHASWAMY where he comes crashing through the dome of a police station and plays around with the bad comic cop is terrific. The highlight of the film is KANTHASWAMY dressed as a woman and teaching Charlie and Mayilsamy a fitting lesson is hilarious. The blindfolded action scenes in Mexico are stunning.
What is the connection between masked crusader Kandasamy and the CBI officer Kandasamy? Why is the CBI Joint Director Krishna Rao (Telugu actor Krishna) protecting Mr. Kandasamy? Can the villains- PPP, Rajmohan of RMG group, and Mexican Pitchumani (Alex) expose and bring Kandasamy to trial? Will the DIG succeed in proving that Kandasamy is no God? The underlining message in the film is, “Money (read black) is the root cause of all evil”.
The answers to all these questions are known only when we watch the movie. Technically the innovative camera angles and the lighting of the cinematographer made the film visually stunning. The sets of Thotta Dharani are awesome especially the bedroom of the heroine and the interior of the plus us used as villain’s hide out is fantastic.
The music for the film is by Devi Sri Prasad also given the special support. Two songs ‘Excuse me..’ and ‘Enperu meenakumari..’ have been well picturised and lavishly shot. Susi Ganesan also done a cameo in this film and by this flick he joined in the big league of directors in Tamil.
There is grandeur and richness in every shot in the film and no wonder it took two years to complete. The film with no doubt belongs to Vikram and he rocks. Shriya sizzles throughout and carries the glamourous role. Prabhu fitted the role of investigative cop. There is also a separate comedy track for Vadivel as Thengakadai Thenappan.
KANTHASWAMY is perfectly an action commercial entertainer and can be seen with the entire family and it is an enjoyable one.
