‘Shakthi Thirumagan’ Movie Review: Vijay Antony’s magnificent political basis loses steam

“If everyone in the nation becomes a beggar, then whom will he rob?” “Why the victims should be afraid when criminals are not done? In a democratic nation, one on top should be afraid of one and not in another way.” “The old man who taught me bravery also taught me that when we can use a cane to support ourselves, we should also learn when to use it to shock someone when needed.”

These are some of the many political dialogues of actor-producer Vijay Antony. Shakti ThirumuganA political thriller with a magnificent base and grand execution that eventually decreases in effect. Now, a reader who has not seen the film can suspect raising such a straight political slogans, but the good news is that this Arun Prabubothaman-directed film is supported by some concrete ideas and attractive screenwriting, which hardly anything, at least for most parts.

Say what you want, Vijay Antony knows the pulse of the audience, and he deserves credit for his faith in the spice template. From time to time, the actor has performed a NAC to select the right script and remove the best to craft a compelling mainstream film with a Vijay Antony from a director.-Sque turn. And after 2021 political spice drama Codial oruvanDirected by Anand Krishnan Metro Fame, the actor has once again collaborated to make a film with a filmmaker which is contrary to anything previously done. In fact, an unexpected viewer may be surprised to know that behind the director Shakti Thirumagan The man who made films Aruvi And Wajh,

Even the tonity of the film takes you with surprise, and Shakti Thirumagan Run through your set-up at breakcane speed, many times you wish to breathe almost a breath. Dominated as a broker, he is secretly operating his government as a advocate, which is so deep that he can also facilitate the transfer of an Inspector General of Police Inspector General of Police! Kitu just requires some phone calls to work, and he helps everyone without any prejudice – from an old man who lost his lifetime saving to bribe, and a swimming athlete that cannot afford the required game gear, a judge to rob his black money, and a party leader wants to receive his black money.

It is a shadow regime that operates with the help of mutual favor, but the actual talent of Kitu is in drawing the right wire to work without increasing any alarm. The faster and clever pattern of editing of the film also works in its favor, as as long as you process how it works well, the work is already done and Kitu is on the next. Arun Prabu originally introduces several characters, who takes an important position in this world (this is actually a charming to see the heart Murugan to play a full role after a long time; actor Kitu’s manager plays the role of Maran). In addition, a separate director who would have felt forced to further decorate the hog – such as Kitu’s romance with his wife Vambu (Truvthi Ravindra) – handles with Arun Prabu Vinay.

First half Shakti Thirumagan The sail like a theme park ride, as we see the kitu level stable that bets are becoming higher and higher. Eventually, he goes out of his depth, ends in his boss’s crosshair, Abhunakkar Srinivas Swamy (Sunil Kriplani), a nefarious industrialist who has many union ministers in his pockets. Soon, Kitu ends in a large complexity – after all, it is necessary to throw such an obstacle to such an obstacle – and you begin to surprise whether he can avoid this qualification anytime. Unfortunately, gets excited for everything Shakti Thirumagan From here.

Writing began to lose both Panch and Vishwas in the first half. Hanked Ideas, such as using cyberhakeers to hack public systems, reduce further proceedings, but the real problem is how much it is publicized. Surely, we get custom flashback, but should it be filled in brim with so many political punchlines? Many times, you begin to be surprised whether the same message could be described in the style of the same rhythm and political thriller, which was initially to happen. The same film that believed in the wisdom of its audience, changes the exposure to its later half to read between lines.

Do not misunderstand me, the message given is great-Indian society is actually a crocodile-enacted lake, where only corrupt and indifferent 1% can remain scott-free, and it is intestinal to think how many intermediaries are there, which, unlike Kitu, only think about filling their own belly. However, the one that should have been an epilogue becomes a long, preaching sequence. A poor staged scene becomes the tipping point as a sermon addressing the gallery Shakti Thirumagan Ends with a lame.

During the interval break of the film, I heard that a filmmaker has a compared to the effect of the first half like some classic Tamil political plays. Mudhalavan, gentle And IndianIf only Arun Prabu broke a better resolution for this well -written base, then we can get Indian Tamil is entitled to the present generation of the audience.
