7th Sense (Ezham Arivu) Movie Review

Finally the day has come, in other words, Diwali has come one day before in the form of 7aam Arivu release in Chennai. The combination of Surya and Murugados has got lot of expectations due to their previous block buster Gajini and also the hype created by the production house and media. Unfortunately this 7th sense is no way near to the expectations, to know more just click on read more.

Performances 

Surya: Surya has done great hard work and given his best as usual. He improved a bit in Dances and excelled in action sequences. Surya meeda complaint cheyyataniki em ledhu. He did his best in both the roles and his performance is awesome. 

Sruthi: She is misfit for this role as she cannot deliver power packed performances. Her dialogue delivery seems to be funny even in serious situations. Looks wise she was Good and Amazing when it comes to songs.  In fact she has got some good scope to show case her performance in second half but unfortunately she failed to impress. 

Others: Jhony Tri did a neat job (especially in action sequences) and others were just OK. 

Technical Departments:

Music: All the Songs were picturized well but the situations spoiled the essence. Songs in this movie are just like speed breaks and sometimes tests your patience too. BGM was loud and Noisy as usual. 

Cinematography: Very Good

Editing: Just OK.  Could have been much better (many jump cuts)

Action: Few action sequences were shot well but most of the time you see either hero or villain punched out of atmosphere. 

CG: Scenes involved with computer Graphics are the Best comedy scenes of the movie except the first 20mins. 

Story, Screenplay, dialogues and Direction: First of all one must appreciate the efforts taken and ample research done by Mr. Murugados to unveil the facts about Bodhidharman. Asalu a concept tho movie chesi unna bavundedi, santhosinchevallam, intha sodi concept la develop chese kante.   First 20mins seems promising and gives you some comfort and will raise your expectations on the rest of the film. The moment it enters into current age, soon you will lose interest on this flick and get bored to the core with the happenings. A better love track between the lead pair and comedy in the first half would have added some value to the script. Hero and heroine madya love scenes aithe wammo wayyo, mana valla kadhu. Enugu meeda lift endo ittantivi chala unnai follow the live updates thread. Some dialogues about Tamil language and Tamilians got huge applause from the audience. Main plot lo commercial flick teeyataniki chala scope unnapatiki, Poor narration valla em i cheyyaleni paristhiti director di. Screenplay would have been much tighter. Cinematic liberty was redefined by Murugados. One of the main factor of this movie HYPNOTISM has become laughing stuff with poor execution. They would have limited it to important scenes of the movie instead of using it everywhere. Though he is a martial arts expert, villain used Hyp against his opponents who start killing themselves in most of the scenes. The first confrontation between hero and villain where villain tries to hypnotise hero and fails and the following scenes were shot very very amateurish. One silly scene following by another silly scene made the previous ones look like master piece in second half. They would have done some more research on Hypnotism too. How quickly one can hypnotise? whether everybody can be hypnotised?  etc. Finally there is a message in this film which gives you a feel that, instead of releasing this film, they would have shown this message in the form of an Add on TV.

Final Verdict: First 20mins, Surya Performance, Sruthi Glamour, some action sequences are the plus points of this movie but that costs you a 2 hour ten mins torture. Its up to you to decide now. This movie is not for those who have common sense.
