Movie : Kireedom Language : Tamil Cast : Ajith, Trisha, RajKiran, Saranya Director : A.L.Vijay Music : G.V.Prakash Spoiler Alert : Medium I had great expectations for the movie, not just because of its story line, but also because of Ajith, the hero of masses! There are many ways to define a good movie and it is very subjective. According to me, these are some facts that I look for in a "Good" movie : * A gripping story to which you can relate to. * Perfect entertainer, a good mix of commercial elements. * A movie which touches you emotionally. * A movie which makes you laugh and cry, get connected with the characters portrayed. * A movie which keeps you thinking, even when you are out of the theater! * Great performances, which makes you believe what is happening. * A good value for the money and time spent! A disturbing fact about Kireedom is, it fails miserably in all of the above! The movie opens up really well but it slows down with the initial romance and comedy sequences. Some lengthy scenes at the beginning makes us wonder whether they are really planning to show the actual plot of the movie or not! Trisha is quite boring in an usual role. Comedy track by Santhanam is better than that of Vivek's. The most noticeable positive attributes of the movie are the natural performances by Ajith and RajKiran! Ajith is refreshingly cool and he has a grandeur screen presence! He has it all, smart looks, great acting skills, excellent dialogue delivery and a perfect on screen Charisma. Unfortunately he is the right person in a wrong movie! He tries hard to fit in, but the inconsistent screenplay fails him deliberately. Ajith's first encounter with the Villain and scenes following it are remarkable. Raj Kiran lives truthfully in imaginary circumstances. His emotions as an affectionate father are astounding! After the intermission, you think the movie had picked up pace, alas it falls right into the dark trap again! Villain looks lifeless! The new director A.L.Vijay has handicapped the script with a poor screenplay. Akkam Pakkam song is a great relief , but others are just inclusions. G.V.Prakash's BGM lacks quality, most of it reminds A.R.Rahman's works. Last but not the least, the climax is gripping. But as another reader pointed out here, one should stay till the end of the movie to watch it! Sorry Ajith(and Ajith fans)...Better luck next time! One liner :Kireedom, "Thalaikku" Porundhi Irukkum, 10 Varudangalukku Mun Vanthirunthaal! Positives :Ajith, RajKiran Negatives :Everything else! DailyKirukkal's Rating :***
