Strengths
It is Sundar .C racy screenplay ,direction and one liners makes the movie engaging till the end...apt use of songs, shiva,santhanam ..in specific the punches tickle our bone..the jeep chase scenes,the kidnap of Madhavi,the climax will bring the roof down..Vimal is at his usual ..gets right with comic timings .looks dull in certain scenes..it is shiva who makes the movie more fun through his entry with cool looks and delivering the one liners is a treat.Anjali and Oviya plays their part well..thought Anjali has gained some footage over her in the scenes and songs..extra dose of glamor from Anjali will satisfy the glamor appeal audience..she is beautiful and sexy in song sequences...
Manobala, Subbu, all other cast does justice..but overall honor goes to the ace comedian Santhanam..and he takes the fair first half movie with a hilarious second half without any dull sequence till the climax ..one handedly...at the best form and flow..he is man now to watch...Music by Vijay Ebinezer is okay for the movie with some rapid editing increase the pace ...photography by Senthil is adequate to the movie..
Weakness
The story falls in the same formula of Ullathai Allitha,Alagana Natkal, Winner..which is also directed by Sundar.C ...He needs to try out different form of comedy in upcoming movies..but he is at his best in the movie..Logic...mmmmDont even think in these type of movies..Glamour in songs by Oviya and Anjali some time feel unwanted....Songs by Vijay are average..if songs could have been better...movie would have gained extra milage in box office...
Kalakalappu..is sure good one for summer
Verdict:5.5/10( 1 for lead actor, 1 for heroines& glamour, 1 for Santhanam, 1.5 for onel liners& comedy, 1 for Sundar.C direction)
Movie canvas Punch: Kalakalappu @ masala cafe...kalakalapppuuuuu....
