Film Rummy: This film has a big hype because of its Hero 'Vijay Sethupathi' who has given 4 consecutive hits in a row. Other than that Inigo is playing the lead role and Balakrishnan is the debut director working on the script. Let's see whether Vijay Sethupathi cracks this one as well.
The film starts in the year 1987 with Inigo's (Sakthi) intro as the hero which clearly shows that this is a period film and Vijay Sethupathi(Joseph) plays the friend of the Hero Sakthi. This will disappoint a lot of Vijay sethupathi's fans. All the characters in the movie get introduced, after which the usual love story between the hero (Inigo) and heroine Gayathri as (Meenakshi) starts. As usual Inigo's friends Suri and Vijay sethupathi help him in his romance show. Now the story becomes clearer when the villains get introduced as the honor killing group in the village, who dare to kill all the youngsters who attempts love with any girl in their village. Now our hero Vijay Sethupathi falls in love with Iyshwarya who plays the role of Sorna. Now both the heroines are in the same family group of honor killing guys which means both our heroes are under threat of getting killed by this group. Their end the first half.
The second half starts with some unexpected twists. But the suspense is not actually in the screenplay, but rather in the slow paced movement of the scenes which actually test the patience of the audience. One example will be the knocking of the door scenes which will be around ten different occasions in the film and the villains keep knocking the hero's house doors for no good reason. The most parts of the twist and turns in the second half and the climax are predictable, which is the big drawback of the film.
Music by Imaan as usual is good and worth mentioning are the two songs Koodamela Koodavechi and Oru Nodi and also the BGM and sound effects adds great value to the movie. Cinematographer Premkumar has done an immaculate job, Visuals are just a treat to watch in this movie. Art director Veeramani has to be mentioned for his good work in portraying the 1980's period. Director Balakrishnan has tried out with period film in his first attempt which needs some accolades, but the story and the plot of the movie is very old which is the big problem.
Review: Vijay Sethupathi is not the hero of the film Rummy, he just plays a supporting role as the hero's friend which is the first disappointment for the fans. This movie is a period film of the 1980's very similar to Subramaniapuram but the story and screenplay are not good enough to entertain the audience. The plots in the movie are predictable and many parts of the movie will test the audience's patience as it is a slow paced movie. It's a below average movie for Vijay Sethupathi's standards and ofcourse it should not be his mistake as he is just a supporting actor in the movie.
