What if you go to a hotel and order for something to eat and they bring it an hour later and the dish is not tasty enough for you to lick your fingers ? Would you be happy eating what you have ordered because the cook took more time in preparing the dish ? Would you consider that the cook is very famous but would have failed this time and tell yourself that you should be happy considering all the facts that must have gone into cooking ?
Shanker has let me down this time and big time . The only soothing and satisfactory thing about "I" is our very own "Chiyyan" Vikram in his most wonderful performance till date . Like they say "Na Bhuto Na Bhavishyati" . I am not going to compare Vikram with what Christian Bale did for "The Fighter" . What Vikram did for this film is mindblowing . I mean who would take their work so seriously and would do it so convincingly . The way Vikram has transformed himself from a body builder to that of a hunchback is tremendous . Kamal Hassan would have donned many roles and would have transformed himself for the role but what Vikram did for this movie is "Athukkum Mele" .
Hatsoff Vikram Sir :)
Weta workshop has done a great job .
Music is not great and Mersilayitten stands apart and is top notch , poorkale satru oyvedungal comes next . Rest is for cigarette breaks ;)
Now there are just two people for whom you have to watch this movie . One is Vikram and the Next one is P.C . Sreeram Sir . Wow ! What an extraordinary cinematography . Mersilayitten pa . He has created magic . I have no words to explain how beautifully he has shot . Outstanding sir and I am not surprised because this is what he does on a regular basis for all his films .
Amy Jackson fits the role to the T . Santhanam in his usual best , Suresh Gopi could have done better and I feel so cause he has lots of calibre . Ramkumar Ganesan may get few other roles after this movie . Upen Patel is okay but not a villain material for sure . The other guy who is also a body builder has done a good job and so had Ojas M. Rajani as the stylist . The antagonists of this films could have been more stronger and the way Vikram takes revenge could have been more interesting and the director could have given more details into it .
On the whole , "I" is a one time watch just for the sheer efforts that Vikram has put in . This is not a typical Shankar film so prepare yourself before you book the tickets .
I didn't like this film that much and why I say it's just a one time watch because the combination of Shankar , AR Rehman , Vikram and PC sir can definitely deliver better . Only Vikram and PC Sir have delivered their best and have done a great job . Shankar and ARR have definitely disappointed .
"I" - Athukkum Keele :(
