7aam Arivu - Yet another very good attempt in Tamil cinema, but missed out the pace of the screenplay and can be categorized into documentary genre

7aam Arivu : Yet another very good attempt in Tamil cinema, but missed out the pace of the screenplay and can be categorized into documentary genre.

This is my first experience to watch any movie at a time of around 1:30 A.M First day First Show premiere in a theater. I was thrilled and excited. Why I have to? It could be a regular flick having  a usual ingredients but the ingredients’ are more scientific influential.

Why this film is much hyped? How will the movie would be? How Surya is performed? Will the much hyped movie get all along success? With so many question I entered into theater and came out with a answer of Big ‘NO’. The movie was not up to the grade mark of either surya’s or a.r.murugadoss previous film especially in screenplay department. This movie doesn’t  worth for a 1:30 A.M First day First show ShowTime rather its worth enough to spend a time in leisure manner to recollect the pages of Indian history on world perspective. The movie can be watchable only once.

7aam Arivu is a Tamil science-fiction movie which documented the biography of the person called Bodhidharman  who is a pallava king goes to China from Kanchipuram, India and becomes as a Buddhist Monk, helping the people in China with his extra-ordinary skills.

This movie is about genetic engineering to bring back the ability and capability of our ancestors to our DNA using Genetic memory research. The research scientist role is played by Shruti Haasan who don’t need a introduction who she is. We can see Kamalhaasan’s face through her in many scenes. She is pretty enough though.

May be the film can be a successful one if the promotions of the film may restricted to the threshold limit which may be considerably reduce the hype to the nominal effect.

The first 20 minutes of the film is caught in the frame as a documentary mode for the life history of Bodhidharman  and also it’s a new attempt in Tamil Cinema. These type of introduction to the story can be available only in a Hollywood flick. The introduction scene is just seems like one of the Hollywood movie dubbed in Tamil language.

This attempt stands out from the regular cinema formula in India. This attempt is really commendable and appreciable.

Johnny Tri Nguyen

Surya’s underplayed his role and he just acted merely like a director’s actor in spite of his value in the cine market.  The real performance value is gained by Shruthi and the Vietnam actor Johnny. Shruthi character is well framed and helps to travel the story but moving with a slow pace.  Johnny’s character is the only promising character and meets the expected value. Surya’ has no scope in this movie but he is tremendous in making himself down to help in documenting the life history of Bodhidharman ’s and contributing to the world. He is stunning in Bodhidharman’s cast.

Even the director says he has done under enough research for this movie but many facts are literally in false mood and results in a bad show off.

The worst part of the movie, may be the pulse which drives the movie from the Good state to bad state is the Music and the background score. Harris Jayaraj “A factory of Shit and crap music” who has no diversity in copying all genre of music available in the world. The background score is not at his best for a story like this.

• Taxi Taxi paatu (Oh Ringa Ringa),
• 12b whistle (Mun Andhi),
• Mudhal Mazhai + Kannum Kannum Nokia (Yellae Lama),
• Kanney Kalaimaane (Yamma Yamma),
• Baba Black Sheep Theme (chinese song).  - [Info Courtesy from a friend]

7aam Arivu holds a good story and excellent plot to excel but missed the awful chance to produce the entertaining thriller movie. I came across many mixed type of reviews from the internet but my choice would be this movie can be watchable only once in order to appreciate the endeavor of the new beginning in Indian Cinema.

These type of movie don’t need a song sequence and bullshitting love scenes & romantic songs. These market value ingredients’ should be avoided in a film taken for a pride. The international audiences can amazed with this movie for our traditional life as we do so with their movies.

Trivia: 7aam Arivu is going to be remade in Hindi with Aamir khan and Shruthihasan in a lead role. Sure, the story gets a another chance to correct its mistake and achieve its pace in Hindi version. Link here.
