Ayan

Its been quite a while, though I tried penning down some of my random thoughts, thought nothing is worth publishing and so just kept quiet.

Finally the much awaited Surya Starer Ayan had hit the halls and being some of the die-hard Surya fans, we decided to venture at an inox @ Blore.

Hope this post helps some of those guys who haven't watched the movie yet to get an idea before shelling out some bucks from ur pocket!! particularly amidst all this recession hungama!

Hero - an English speaking dude coming out of the airport, turns out to be a local 'galeej' guy - enj oyable intro. Heroine's intro is an usual tamil cinema one, with the hero dashing the half-clothed heroine. Not sure why they had to show glam when there was no need for it at all! Heroine was uppuku-chappani just so like most of the Tamil movie.

Hero wins an applaud in so many scenes like when he says 'namakku epavume 'Jo' dhaanga'. The deductive surya series in the whole film gave a feel of watching some old Vijayakanth style. The 'citi' character that comes as Tamanna's bro in the movie mattered for some good laugh.

For the 1st time I enjoyed a fight sequence in a Tamil movie, special mention goes to that which happens at Africa. They ha ve tried to spread some awareness on whats going on in the poverty proven fatigue country. The scene stands in memory where those kids continue playing football after a shooting spree happens on the road, its like what we read in those fiction novels. well shot. But I'm not sure why the lighting goes dim when they show Africa every time, a lil wierd!

The beginning 40-50 mins rushes like air. And then starts the real patience testing spree.

There were tooooo many characters that just comes and vanishes off in one scene. Here and there, a lot of disgusting things including Tamanna visiting Surya's mom's shop, not-to-forget the cruel murder of citi (Once you go back home, this scene flashes at least every time you go to sleep), hero goes to the pub to just take the photographs of the villain's crew, its so indigestible when we think of the hero just taking the kanaku pillai's daughter's snap and coming back while he sees her being raped by the Villain, in fact this is the place where they should have applied the usual Tamil movie logic but leaving this elsewhere it is all only that.

I'm not sure if this is what is meant as success for a Villain - making people feel irritated.. With the long hair and an ugly face, overaction althrough the movie!

How can the guy at the customs sector can be so dumb!? He takes hero's help and finally end up recruiting him with an Amma sentiment in the last scene, a typical Tamil movie style again.

Surya speaking in 'peter' English to the customs guy and him saying that he knows what he really is, dialogue delivery with the expressions and stuff there was really awesome from both of them!

In the whole of the movie what mattered the most to me were the songs! 'Vizhi moodi Yosithal' asks for couple of once-mores, Karthik where were you all these years man! Improper placement of 'nenje nenje', it comes as a condolence duet for citi! How absurd! The title song was well composed, its worth it considering its release directly at the theatres and not in the audio release. Chinmayee's voice in Aayiye Aayiye was cool as always!

Some additional concentration could have gone into Surya's costumes. He belongs to a decent middle class family, but the green and orange lungi-shirt in Pala pala was completely crap! Some of Tamanna's clothes were really good.

We expected the movie would be utter crap when it came to Sun pictures. The movie title 'Ayan' is nowhere relevant! In spite of all this, it will make good revenues as its an usual commercial one and taking into account the time period its been released. Its a Surya's movie and accepting him in a local get-up after the Vaaranam Aayiram and Kaaka-kaaka was hugely tough.

Overall, a line below than time pass category.
