Theeya Velai Seiyyanam Kumaru Movie Review

Theeya Velai Seiyyanam Kumaru Directed by director, Sundar C,the film also released in Telugu as Something Something, released on the same day.

The film stars Siddharth, Hansika Motwani, Santhanam and Ganesh Venkatram in the lead roles along with RJ Balaji, Jennifer, Devadarshini, Chitra Lakshmanan, Delhi Ganesh, Bosskey forming the rest of the cast. The film also has cameos by actor Vishal, yesteryear actress, Kushboo, and Samantha.

Filim strarts with a family who are supporters of love. Everyone in the family, starting from the great grandfather, has had love marriages. Kumar (Siddharth) and his three sisters are a part of the present generation of this family.  Blessed with successful love marriages, his two older sisters are constantly after him to find someone to love.

 But Kumar is not at all imterested. Kumar is an IT professional and more of a geek, who is constantly teased by his colleagues at work. George (Ganesh Venkatram) is the Operations Manager of the company and is the complete opposite of Kumar.  Extremely handsome and confident, George is every woman’s dream and every man’s nightmare.

Kumar’s resolution to remain a bachelor shatters when he has a glimpse of the glamorous, Sanjana (Hansika Motwani), a new employee in their company. George who is also impressed by Sanjana courts her and finally wins her affections.

Meanwhile, Kumar, who is desperate for Sanjana’s love engages the services of Mokia (Santhanam), a reputed love guru, who though expensive has an excellent success record.  The first half of the movie ends with Sanjana and George getting engaged.  So how does Mokia help Kumar to accomplish the impossible task of the getting the gorgeous Sanjana to fall in love with him.  Though the end does seem quite predictable, Santhanam is hilarious with ingenious schemes and entertaining plots to bring them together.

As far as performances are concerned, only Santhanam stands out.Hansika looks radiant and as pretty as ever, but has nothing new to offer.Siddharth, as a geek, is totally unsuited to the role. Even when he makes the transition from geek to Romeo, he does not make much of an impression. There seems to be absolutely no chemistry between Siddharth and Hansika, and this in a movie touted to be a great romantic movie is truly disappointing.

Santhanam is the saving grace of the movie and is more of a hero than either Siddharth or Ganesh. There is laughter every time he is on the screen and with his typical style of dialogue delivery, he effortlessly engages the audience.
C Sathya of Engeyum Eppodhum fame has composed the music for the film with lyrics by Pa. Vijay. And though not chartbusters, they are fun and quite entertaining.

TVSK IS ENTERTAINING ,BUT FAILS IN MANY PARTS. ANYWAY SANTHANAM HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE ENTERTAINMENT WITH LAUGHTABLE HUMOUR.
