The Review: Madurey
*
This is again not going to be easy. This is frankly the dirtiest (pun intended) Vijay movie in a long time. Surely a big let down after the blockbuster called Gillie. In fact I think Gillie might outrun Madurey!
We are introduced to Vijay with all his usual heroic histrionics. Then out of nowhere we start seeing a lot of fights between petty villains and our hero. In between all this he romances the most buxom woman introduced to Tamil cinema in recent times, Rakshitha. She is closely followed by another glamour girl called Tejashree whose saree never seems to be properly tied.
After a lot of noise we finally get to know that Vijay was/is actually Maduravel, Collector of Madurai. What transpired between him and the villan Pasupathy (yawn!) is told in flashback. In that we are introduced to Sonia Agarwal, the only saving grace of the movie.
Honestly it will be a big torture to even list out the events in the movie. So lets start with the crucification. The director needs to be get basic lessons on how to make a “good” movie. Showing the thighs of the heroines and inane fight scenes will never ever make a movie run. Vijay needs to understand that all his goodwill might turn to dust if he acts in such mindlessly rubbish movies. The music director needs to definitely understand that giving one “gaana” song will not make a movie a hit. And for God’s sake what is that “two-heroine” song thing! It is nauseating to see the way the two heroines are exploited in that song. It is neither seductive nor sexy. It is pure vulgar, cheap and crap!
All in all, a big disappointment for non-Vijay fans.
