He terrific trio Suriya, KV Anand and Harris Jayaraj is back again with “Maattrraan” after their successful Ayan. The expectation level from them has been quite high. Does KV Anand hitsa hatrick with Maattraan? Read on to know more…
KV Anand and Suba should have done a tremendous research before writing this script and kudos to them. Suba just proved that strong script writers like them can take Tamil cinema to the next level. KV Anand has as usual stunned us with his choice of breath taking locations especially in the ‘Naanikoni’ song and in the second half that takes place in Russia.
Suriya breathes the role of Akhilan and Vimalan. He has showed great difference in portraying both the characters. Akhilan is a jolly going guy whereas Vimalan is the innocent and intelligent guy. Akhilan is a scream. He brings the roof down every time with his witty oneliners and Suriya’s hardwork is clearly visible in the stunt sequences especially in the interval block and pre-climax stunts.
Kajal plays a bubbly character and KV Anand has given an important role for her. Her combination scenes with Akhilan in Russia are good. Sachin Khadekar plays a cold-blooded genetic scientist character. With all his experience he has given a convincing performance. However, the length of the film is something which is painstakingly long.
Cinematography by Soundarrajan is applaudable. He has given brilliant visuals in Naanikoni and in the pre climax fight portions in Russia. Editing by Antony is crisp. Harris Jayaraj’s songs are okay and his BGM is good. The duo has conveyed a social message on the effects of genetically modified food products and how science can fail when it comes to rescuing the affected. But one wonders whether we need a commercial masala flick like Maattrraan to convey this ina half-baked way! The translating portions by Kajal in Russia and the climax may not appeal with the masses. In the second half, logic takes a major setback. One wonders how K V Anand, who had been a master of logic in his previous films failed to take note of this setbacks. On the whole the first half of the movie is entertaining and the second half is passable.
