Movie Review : 18 Vayasu
Rating : 1.5 / 5
Banner : Nic Arts
Cast : Johnny, Gayathri, Yuvarani, Rohini, Sathyendran, JS, Sevazhai, Gnanavel, Suri and Others
Music : Charles Bosco, Dinesh Kanagaratnam
Cinematographer : Shakthi
Producer: S S Chakravarthy
Director: R. Panneerselvam
Released Date: August 29, 2012
Story: A silly tale, the story begins with Karthi (johnny) who is a mentally deranged youngster as he sees his father committing suicide. Apparently, his mother ill-treats him and she also has an affair with someone else which disturbs him a lot. So, whenever he comes under anxiety or pressure, Johnny begins to behave like the animal he sees first. Meanwhile, he comes across an orphan Gayathri and falls in love with her. She also likes him and they decide to get married. But Johnny ends up killing his mother and this shocks the orphan girl. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Presentation: The director has come up with a stale storyline and while the presentation was below standard, the narrative was poor. The dialogues were boring, the script was not upto the mark and the screenplay was amateur. Background score was okay and songs were not worth listening. Cinematography was the saving grace to an extent. Editing was raw. Costumes were suiting the moods while the art department was regular. Johnny has given sincere efforts in doing justice to his role. Gayathri is not a looker but she has given confident performance. Rohini was elegant. Sathyendran was standard. Yuvarani was alright. Sevazhai was okay.
Conclusion: The concept of mentally disturbed youth falling in love with an orphan looks promising but such thmese need to be dealt with deft screenplay and strong narratives. While the film takes off on a good note, it begins to lose steam within fifteen minutes. The second half didn’t have much to relish and this leaves the audience with a bitter taste. Overall, this movie may not be able to achieve success and might sink at the box office.
IdleStars verdict: Can be ignored
