This much-anticipated Diwali release has been making waves at the box office. Poojai starring Shruti Haasan and Vishal is directed by Hari who is known for his mass commercial entertainers. The movie is based on family sentiment with plenty of action, picturesque songs and comedy thrown in…
What’s it about
Vishal plays Vasu, a moneylender, who is based in Coimbatore. Despite being from an addluent family, Vasu leaves his home (Radhika Sarathkumar plays his mother) due to certain issues and sets up his own business. Vasu leads a peaceful life and along the way meets Divya (Shruti Haasan) who hails from an affluent family. Not surprisingly, the two fall in love. Things start to go awry when Vasu gets into an altercation with Anna Thandavam (Mukesh Tiwari), who is a businessman and a contract killer. Vasu gets in the way of Anna Thandavam’s plot to murder ADSP Sivakkozhundhu. Vasu then becomes a target and he saves himself and gets the bad guys is the rest of the story.
What’s good
Like any typical masala Hari film, the movie is filled with action sequences, car chases and fights and Vishal has done a good job in them all. Hari has all the elements that an audience will want – action, comedy, drama, romance and a glam heroine. So the director manages to keep you engaged for the two hours and forty minutes.
Playing the action hero, Vishal fits the role to a T. This genre is not new to him as he done action flicks earlier. Shruti Haasan has gone all-out glam in Poojai, her third outing in the Tamil film industry. With Poojai, she has broken the jinx and is now part of a possible hit.
Soori and Pandi are the comic element in the flick and actually share some moments that make you laugh.
What’s bad
Some scenes seem to be repetitive so it could be irritants to the audience. The movie also could be trimmed a little and perhaps better editing would help this cause. The proportion of elements that Hari had thrown into Singam seem to be well thought out whereas in Poojai they seem to be disproportionate and just randomly thrown in.
What to do?
If you like action films then Poojai is for you. Don’t go looking for logic or a message – it’s a fun-filled flick which is entertaining and good time pass this Diwali.
