Now, whats there to review about a film that is marketed as a mass commercial entertainer [read: negligible logic, if any]? Siruthai promises to be a commercial spinner, and is indeed that. The movie is a remake of the Tollywood's Vikramarkudu that had Ravi Teja enacting the role. Karthi justifies the dual roles of DCP Ratnavel Pandian and Rocket Raja, and makes of his body language to convey the difference. Mind you, this is his first dual-role. Cinematography is excellent. Songs are rather the norm than anything else.
Siruthai opens with a Ratnavel Pandian (Karthi) being spotted by a hooligan who rushes to convey the message to Bava in Devipattinam in Andhra. The entire gang in Devipattinam rushes to Ratnavel Pandian's grave to find that his coffin is filled with stones. The scene then introduces Rocket Raja (Karthi again) who makes a living by means of thievery. The film jets along until a little claim suddenly claims Rocket Raja as her father. What happens further forms, without doubt, the rest of the movie.
Santhanam has excelled in his role of Poochi, and gives the film a much needed comic steroid. Hard to imagine anyone apart lending justice to the role. Karthi has done fine, although I would like to see him in characters that are a bit more versatile. He is talented, mind you. That's straight 5 hits for Karthi in a row. The movie is extremely boisterous. A host of the supporting characters up their decibels for conversations and I fail to see the logic behind that. The movie seems a drag towards the end when all logic goes loose. Tamannah is fine and her scope for performance is limited to her waistline techniques (Body language again, if you can call that!).
If you didn't know what to do, just get some popcorn, and head towards the theatre to watch Siruthai. Good timepass guaranteed!
