Poda Podi Movie Review

REVIEW : Poda Podi - Unexpectedly Very Good & Entertaining

We went for Poda Podi last evening without interest and expectation because we couldn't able to get ticket for Thuppaki, But we surprised that Poda Podi is simply good and entertaining..

Its unbelievable that the movie satisfy the viewers very well who come with very low expectation. Its all because of Simbhu, yes.

STORY :

        Plot is very simple. It is about two persons Arjun(STR) and Nisha(Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) who had different tastes in life would love and marry each other. The Struggle between them to understand each other well for the success of thier life is the remaining story of the movie.

CAST & PERFORMANCE :

Simbhu as Arjun :

                              Am not such a fan of Simbhu but, after watching this movie i really like him very much because of his outstanding performance throughout the movie. After we came out from the theatre am asking me again and again how simbhu did movie like this? yes really very genuine performance by simbhu who always doing some styles in his movies, here did a very decent performance. His genuine performance is much good than the characters he did in his past movies like Kovil and Vinnai Thandi Varuvaaya(VTV).

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar as Nisha :

                               She is a daughter of veteran actor Srathkumar and this is her debut movie so lot of expectations are there on her performance. Acting is good but she has to improve herself much in her next movies to become a successful heroine in the industry. She looks too fat in many scenes especially in song sequences and little bit fit in many scenes. Dont know how it happens may be because of taking this movie  for three long years should be the reason i think. But she has to reduce her weight to make her pretty. Her Make up is worst and not matching with simbhu who looks good naturally. If she concentrate on this first, than she is capable of doing many commercial movies as well in the industry.

Ganesh as Simbhu's uncle :

                               His performance throughout the movie is outstanding. His very laughable dialogs and acting is perfect in the movie. Each and every scene he make laugh the audience by his dialog delivery. He is very major plus for the movie next to Simbhu. Great performance by him will entertain the movie high.

Others :

                              Other cast are also good in the movie. Especially Shobana(Veteran actress) and dance trainer for Nisha in the movie would did their role very good.

WRITTEN AND DIRECTION:

                              New comer Vignesh shivan did his job well in this movie. His way of narrating simple story with interesting dialogs and performance creates a very entertaining movie and made success at the end.

TECHNICIAN AND MUSIC :

                               Duncan telford cinematography is good and give pleasant views of london. Antony's editing work is good as usual. Song are well choreographed & Music by Thaman should give much support for the movie. Love panlama venama in the opening & I am a Kuthu Dancer song at the final is visual treat for audience and makes more enjoyment in the theatre.

POSITIVE :

                    1.Simbhu's genuine and outstanding performance + usual good dance

                    2.Ganseh with his outstanding performance

                    3.Comedy dialogs

NEGATIVE :

                    1. Varalaxmi sarathkumar make up and look

                    2. Too many songs in the 1st half comes within 15 min gap will affect the flow of movie

                    3. Little bit slow in screenplay.

OVERALL :                     

                     Finally, Poda Podi is a very good entertainer movie for this diwali. Its Worth Watching .

MY RATING : 6.5/10
