Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru

In Tamil, recently comedy movies are giving big hits. Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya and Soodhu Kavvum are such comedy movies. Theeya velai seiyanum kumaru is also made in telugu as something something. Sundar C is known for providing a good time to audiences at the theaters. He has an enviable track record over the past decade or two and last year he proved that he hadn’t lost his touch, with the superhit Kalakalappu, produced by the same makers of Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru (TVSK) - Avni Cinemax and UTV Motion Pictures. In TVSK, it isn’t your typical Sundar C setting as the director has based his tale in an IT company and around an urban youngster, Kumar, who takes the services of a love guru (Mokia) to floor the lady of his dreams (Sanjana). Kumar is from a family of romantics, having a long history of love marriages. He isn’t an expert at handling women and it requires the entry of a dream girl such as Sanjana, for him to realize the unrelenting romantic within him. But he spends insane amounts of money as service charge, to achieve his goal. The casting is good and Hansika as Sanjana looks her best till date. The ‘Azhagendral Aval Dana’ song seems really apt for this young beauty queen and she is all dolled up in the songs and provides the necessary oomph which is mandatory in all Sundar C movies. Siddharth is perfect as the underdog ‘next door’ hero who makes all the efforts to impress the woman he desires. Ganesh Venkatraman (referred to as ‘Gymku pona Gemini Ganesan’) looks hunky as the man who is envied by his colleagues in the office. He doesn’t have much to do after the interval. Santhanam is the dominant presence as expected and after the interval, when we come to know of the twist in his equation with Hansika, things really heat up. He looks dashing as Mokia, the high profile love guru who charges a bomb and even gives tips to the likes of Arya and Vishal. The elaborate support cast is in top form and they deliver their share of laughs. RJ Balaji talks like none other and the speed of his puns and funny one-liners is impressive. ‘Forever bald’ Bosskey (referred to as ‘Anytime Motta’ by Santhanam), the ever-thin Mano Bala (addressed with nicknames such as Nataraj Pencil, Ice Cream Kucchi) and the loud but funny Vidyu Raman are among the actors who make a mark. Devadarshini is for a change not speaking the Tamil Brahmin lingo on screen. The film leaves no room for boredom.
