Vettaikaran(hunter)

Can one imagine that a movie gets released in a small township, along with the whole world? but it did with lots of fanfare, crackers and pooja for the film role and horse carriage for the film box. Vettaikaran is the movie.

My kid is Vijay’s fan, and so I volunteered to go along with him and wife for the movie, a fortnight after release.

The theatre is opposite to my street and was full of cut outs of Vijay. We were parked amidst the fans who blew whistles and made hell of an heaven for themselves.

Most of Vijay’s fans belong to the moustache less or just sprouting moustache boys.

They seem to get so excited seeing him on screen that they loose themselves.

Vijay is a do gooder and takes on the villains of the society, group dancing with handsome men and beautiful half clad women, strange steps and movements.

A few fights with the thugs, he flirts with a damsel and duets with her, where we cannot even imagine, locations of natural beauty. The fighting sequences seem like dance movements and the dance at times seem like he is fighting.

There was a time when he does tumbles and stands on his hands and kicks in the air during the dances, the dance master must have been short of steps, at that moment, or may be the words of the song needed these to show happiness of a child.

The music lyrics composer must have been caught in a traffic jam, when he came out with the words “ daarrr ingggu they,burrringgu they” for the words of a song sequence, it is a pity; we have come to this state of entertainment for want of words for a song.

The violence these days in general are gruesome, the dancing movements are ludicrously posed in imaginations and scintillating in actions. Fans are willing to pay a lot of money to see his movie many times over and over.

With dancing sequences for his child, “Sanjay” the future of an artist has been founded.

I wonder if Dr Vijay will ever be allowed by his fans, to move away from his model roles and play art and character, and a variety of roles to bring out all his talents in future..?
