Laadam - a movie you can give a shot at

Laadam is the third movie by Director Prabhu Solomon, who has proved his talent with this interesting screenplay/story in his earlier two films, Kokki & Lee, both of which are critically acclaimed.

Here, the portrays the rivalry between two gangs, that of Pavadai Samy & Vembuli.

Vembuli's gang kills Pavadasamy's son. As a result, Pavadasamy wants to seek revenge by killing Vembuli's son within 16 days.

Our hero(Kunjidapaadham), played by debutant Aravindhan, gets caught between the two gangs. Aravindhan has come up in life struggling a lot, and aspires to become Bill Gates, Ambani and the like.

Pavadasamy orders Aravindhan to execute Vembuli's son or get killed.

What follows is a thriller ride for Aravindhan, where he runs throughout, getting caught betwene the two rivals.

In the midst, he comes across Angel(played by Charmi), who takes life as it comes, puts a tag on each house in an apartment, and then enjoys one day in the house, in which the tag still remains(meaning no one is in the house)- quite interesting indeed.

Aravindhan & Charmi get along each other and get married.

Did Aravindhan gets to kill Vembuli's son and what happens to Pavadasamy & Vembuli forms the Climax.

Prabhu Solomon impresses a lot with his screenplay and dialogues. A string of humor runs throughtout the movie. The dialogues are a major plus.

The camera work by Sukumaran is realistic with awesome angles and is a major draw.

Dharan impresses a lot with his BGM than the songs. The BGM reminded me of IR in some sequences. Siru Thodudhalilae is a melodious number that is sure to be on everyone's lips.

What impressed me the most is the chemistry between the lead pair, Aravindhan & Charmi. For Charmi, it is a superb performance, and the actor has gained a lot in performance(as well as in weight;-) in all these years. She performs the role of Angel with effortless ease. She does mimicry of almost all the actors, especially Vadivelu, Kannamba(ably supported by Prabhu Solomon's dialogues/direction)

Aravindhan, a debutant, has done equally well. His voice sounding innocent, and the humor sprinkled dialogues is sure to make you to like this guy.

Watch the movie for a racy screenplay, and if you like bullets firing from all quarters.

Best Regards,
Dharma.
