Raamu does it Best!
I simply loved the film. The story was gripping and Ramu’s direction was like always a treat.
What I like most about Ramu’s films are the Characters. They are absolutely unforgettable. Take for instance RD. Every time he came on screen, everybody else became immaterial and that goes for the hero, Amaan too. RD had certain suaveness in his demeanor.
Then there was Gunga and his wife – like two glasses of refreshing fresh lime soda. They added the fizz of raw, rural humor, which has become Ramu’s patented style.
The story, the characters and the direction all executed well. But obviously the movie had to be good.
Although at some point I did feel disappointed, for instances – Amaan’s frequent and incautious conversations with the cop – Ahmed Hussain, his open confession to Iya on the boat where every other person was a Sultan’s gang member, and the occasional tip given by Amaan to Ahmed Hussain.
If the mission was to destroy the Terrorists, then why should Ahmed Hussain risk it by using Amaan as an informant to capture smuggled consignments? What would have happened to the mission if Sultan’s gang member had overheard Amaan’s confession? Would it have been worth to risk a national cause over a girl’s love? Why doesn’t Sultan recollect Amaan even though he has seen and heard him before? It could be that he might have forgotten his face after such a long time, but that would still be an assumption on the part of the Ahmed Hussain.
But these are very minor flaws and can be comfortably ignored.
I won’t say this is one of Raamu’s very best offering. But by itself, itself it’s a good movie.
And if you like Raamu for what he is then this movie will be fun to watch. As usual you can see the glimpses of the filmmaker through out the film.
