Ayan - watch it for Suriya

Ayan - watch it for Suriya

Ayan - it is an out-an-out Suriya movie. Of course, the credit has to go to the Director for a racy screenplay and taut script.

Suriya is a college-goer, who involves himself in diamond trafficking from Congo just for the sheer thrill involved. Prabhu, whom Suriya works for, controls this illegal market.

The rival gang wants to steal the number 1 place held by Prabhu. The movie is all about how these two rival gangs go about their job, trying to outsmart each other.

The theme in itself is not new. However, taking this illegal trafficking and making into a full-blown story is new to Thamizh Cinema and the Director(K.V.Anand) has come out triumphs in his second venture(his first is Kanaa Kandaen)

The director has obviously done enough homework in studying the ongoing scheme of things in Congo(African nation), which is the source of diamonds, Customs Operation, Ways of Smuggling things(some of them are really good ideas - at least new to Thamizh Cinema)

Nandu(I do not recall his original name), who comes as Suriya's friend has done a neat role. The friendship between the two have been portrayed really well.

Prabhu has done a neat role of Doss, with underplayed emotions. He better should watch his weight, for he occupies more than half of the 70mm screen :-)

Suriya is simply awesome - be it dance, cute facial expressions, romance, stunts, crying sequences - he seems to just enjoy it all. Superb Suriya...

Best thing with Suriya is that he does not fit into any kind of image, giving him the fearlessness to try out new things.

You can watch the movie once again for Suriya alone - Of course, Tamannah is there to provide some chillness for the soaring temperature in summer. Though she has not much scope to perform, she has made ample use of the opportunity given to her.

M.S. Prabhu's camera captures the scenic locations in Malaysia as well as the rustic locations in Congo, Africa in a stunning way. His Camera work is a big plus for the movie.

Few songs of Harris' are really hummable, and the picturization, costumes and choreography deserve special mention(especially for Pala Pala & Vizhi Moodi) Suriya is simply awesome. See it to believe it.

The chasing sequence which comes in the first 10 mins is brilliant and reminded one of Jackie Chan's movies. Suriya has taken enough risk on this, and he actually made it look very easy. Extraordinary - this kind of chasing sequence has not come in any recent Thamizh movie and looks so credible.

Kudos to the Director in providing a racy thriller movie(without a separate comedy sequence)


Plus:
Suriya, Suriya & Suriya
Racy First-Half
Camera
Harris's music
Stunt sequences
Dance Choreography
Prabhu's underplayed role
Villain(he seems to be new, but has done a decent job)
Tamannah(of course :-)

Minus:
Second half of the screen-play sags a little, but more than makes up for it towards the end.
I thought BGM was not quite up to the mark

In all, a neat racy-thriller for the summer. Can be watched at least once.

Best Regards,
Dharma.
