Strengths
Undoubtfully its Action king Arjun all the way. Be it action,romance, comedy and fitness he shines in the movie. He's getting smart day by day with his tight & taut look ... fit body .... His screen space with comedian is enjoyble and has tried out different voice modulation in comic scenes. Haripriya after average outing in kanagavel kakka has come out with neat performance apart from songs and romance. She looks beautiful in tradational wear at the time glamorous in songs.
The comedy portion with kanja karuppu, sathyan,livingston are good and makes you laugh at times. Suresh, Ashis vidyarthi,vincent Asokan and prem are okay. Editing is big plus and travels in racy pace. Debutant cameraman(tamil) Anjaneyalu wide angle shots in stunts and breezy mauritius songs is cool. Dhina music is good for the pace of the movie and in songs "Semmozhiye" ,"magadheera" are hummable.
Venkatesh is known for masala movies has done well with this vallakottai thought the original is adapted from Mammuka starrer Mayavi movie. krish,Indiyan kamal, pirates, old man getups interesting....
Weakness
Same old old story and mix of various action movies is the major drawback. Comedy scenes are good but could have been better has less ingrediants with compared to last few movie of action king. Stunts are okay but with action king in your hands ....kalakirukannum illaya??? for this theme..thalapathi dhinesh has given only average stunts.
Vallakottai is not the usual pot boiler. It has its own style of entertainment is totally not a avoidable film . Loves action and action king with racy scenes, vallakottai is good.
Verdict: 5/10( 1.5 for Arjun, 1 for Haripiya and othercast, 1 for editing, 1.5 for racy scenes and music)
Movie canvas punch:Valla kottai ....is karam masala served with less spice...
