The much anticipated movie Kumki is worth to watch it on big screen. Director Prabhu Solomon(Maker of mynaa) given a very good movie for Vikram prabu(son of actor prabu & grandson of veteran actor sivaji) who expected more from this movie because of his family background.

CAST & PERFORMANCE :

Vikram prabhu as Bomman:

                              

                             Vikram prabhu a son of actor Prabhu and grandson of veteran legendary actor Sivaji Ganesan makes a debut through this movie. A much anticipated actor did his role very good in the movie. He is very apt for the character Booman. His height and weight suits the character well. But he has to improve more in his acting to become a successful actor like his father  and grand father. Definately this movie gives him a very good name among the people as an actor.

Lakshmi Menon as Alli:

                               

                            Lakshmi menon who did very good acting in her past movie sundarapandian given her best once again in this movie. She looks very pretty in this movie and did very excellent acting. Definately she should become a very successful leading actress in the industry soon.

Thambi Ramaiyaa as vikram prabu uncle:

                               His performance is Excellent as usual. He is the Man giving very good support for this movie through his best acting. His laughable, humourous dialogs and acting  in the movie gives more strength and success . Being Award winner actor did his job very well.

Maanikam as Kumki Elephant:

                 

                              After a long gap an elephant did excellent acting in the movie. Definately it is well trained and all credits goes to director only. Obviously this elephant should be liked by all Children who watch this movie.

Others :

                              Other cast are also very good and did their role well. Especially the father of Alli in the movie did very good acting througout the movie.

WRITTEN AND DIRECTION:

               

                               This time Prabhu Solomon satisfy the audience with his movie but this movie is not the best one like Mynaa because of lacking in script. His First half is very better and second half is weak due to lacking of script written. Especially the love scenes  are very usual and feels little bit bore. But through his way of narrating the movie with good technical work (such as camera work and Music) he succeed finally.

                             

TECHNICIAN AND MUSIC :

                               M.Sukumar's  camera work is very excellent and keeps the movie to high level with quality picturisation of beautiful forest regions. And songs are visual treat. Editing also very good. Graphics are very good. Komban elephant scene at the beggining and the climax fight between Komban and Kumik maanikam gives treat for the audience. 

                               Music by D.Imman is the very plus for the movie. All the songs are chartbusters already and the way it is picturized gives more strenth to his songs. And this is the first movie i have ever seen before, that audience makes whistle for every song which begins and no one go out till the song end. Thats the success of music director D.Imman. And BG score also very excellent.

POSITIVE :

                    1.Simple story narrated in a good manner.

                    2.M.sukumar camerawork.

                    3.D.Imman's music(all songs including BG score).

                    4.Lakshmi menon and Thambi rammaiya's Acting

                    5.Kumki Elephant(Maanikam)

NEGATIVE :

                    1. Weak Script in second half, Especially Love portions.

                    2. Predictable Climax.

                    3. Lengthy second.

OVERALL :                     

                    Kumki is worth to watch. Especially for the camera work and music, it is worth watching on big screens. Go with kids and enjoy the movie. DONT MISS IT.

MY RATING : 7.5/10
