| Selvabharathi’s Pasupathi c/o Rasakkapalayam, starts of as a comedy, but post interval turns out to be a steamy tearjerker. The only silver lining in otherwise a boring film is the comedy of Vivek, who plays a parallel role to Ranjith. The films first half is lifted from Uthaman, a Jayaram Malayalam comedy about a guy who lives in a police station as a handy man to the cops and the second half is about old age home inmates and mother sentiments from Pritviraj’s Ammakilikoodu. Plus Selvabharathi has included a lot of masala comedy to suit the B & C audiences. Pasupathy (Ranjith) is a village bumpkin and a do-gooder who comes to town in search of a job, and becomes a sort of handyman in a police station run by Das(Vivek), a constable who gets promoted as a Sub- Inspector thanks to the efforts and brawn of the former. Using Pasupathi, to do all the dirty work Das and other cops become dare devils! But Pasupathy get entangled with a naxalite outfit as he tries to make money for his mother’s operation which would cost him Rs 5 lakhs.! It is an out and out Vivek film, and his comedy in the first half is entertaining, like coming as Power Rangers with Ranjit to please the kids. Ranjit is ok while Sindhu Tolani has hardly anything to do, Ilavarasu as a Naxal leader is adequate. The songs of Deva are a damp squib. Except for Vivek’s comedy there is nothing worthwhile in the film. The second half as the story goes haywire, the film drags and the large doses of old fashioned mother sentiments in the climax leave you exhausted. Verdict: Big Bore |
