Villain Review 2

Villain (2010):

Cast: Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachhan, Prithviraj, Prabhu, Priyamani, Karthik, Ranjitha

Basic Story Line:
Vikram's sister (Priyamani) gets caught by police, when the police try to catch Vikram (Veerayya). They ill-treat her (kick her and rape her). She commits suicide because of that. Verayya wants to take revenge of the police officer Dev (Prithvi Raj) who did this. He kidnaps his wife (Aishwarya Rai) to kill her after 14 hours. But, she tries to escape and gets hurt severly. Verayya and his entire clan take care of her for the rest of the days.

In the meanwhile, Karthik (suspended forest guard) helps Prithvi Raj to find his wife. Ultimately, Verayya and Dev have a breath taking fight. Of course, both of them live. After that, there is a climax which is not normal. I wouldn't say it as a normal ending.

Analysis:
Vikram was stunning. But, the sound clarity like in any Mani Ratnam's dark movies (like Nayakudu, Roja, Bombay etc) sucks. Music was good. But, the background score could have been lot better (for an Oscar winner, A.R.Rehman). Prithvi Raj was good. Priyamani and Prabhu were alright. Aishwarya Rai, seemed dumb. She might still have to learn lot of acting.

Cinematography was absolutely marvelous. Locales were mind boggling and fantastic.

Verdict:
Boring, unless you are fan of either Vikram or Mani Ratnam
