Laadam - Review

Laadam - Review

It's been quite a while since we've seen a gangster movie in Tamil with some standards that match Ram Gopal Varma's movies. The last movie we saw was Selvaragahavan's Pudhupettai. Laadam is one such, written and directed by Prabhu Solomon, who has given the hits Kokki and Lee. Laadam is also being made in Telugu as 16 Days. The movie talks about a situation where an educated job seeker gets himself in a tight corner and is caught between the rivalry of gangsters.

Who's In It?

Aravindan makes his debut as the protagonist with Charmi, one of Telugu cinema's popular heroines. The movie also introduces Dheeraj, producer of Prabhu's Kokki as the villain. Kota Seenivasa Rao, V. Jayaprakash and Chitti Babu are also part of the cast. Prabhu Solomon makes a cameo appearance as a police officer.

What's It About?

Kunjipatham (Aravindhan), an orphan, comes to the city in search of a job and stays in a friend's apartment. Meanwhile, leading gangster Pavadai (Kota Seenivasa Rao) finds his son murdered by his arch rival Vembuli's (V. Jayaprakash) men. He then plans to take revenge by killing Vembuli's son Adithya (Dheeraj) on or before the 16th day of his son's death.
