An Attempt to bring back the lost culture of NORTH CHENNAI
vickyvj-5131016 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The movie stars jayam ravi has a lead ...i would tell you this is one of the finest performance of jayam ravi . while talking about the acting we have prakash raj as an antagonist who has given a new look to that character .An greedy CEO of an channel...these both characters and the north Chennai peoples life has lifted the entire preinterval portion of the movie ..

The theme of the movie is so new for this generation but this boxing culture in Chennai is so famous in 80s and 90s ...And the reason it has banned was rivalry between the boxers were turned out to be like a war between two generation. This are all the name of real generations of boxing which is there in Chennai...so a great kudos to the director and the story writer for bringing it back..On the whole boologam is cinematic trip to the real life of north Chennai and to an lost culture.

Now, be warned, you have to endure a whole lotta things to get to the choir of this flick. Thankfully,I was able to make that work for a bit.

Extremely loud background and foreground scores, zero subtlety in acting, various instances that make you stretch your credulity and imagination making you question your judgment when you bought your ticket/s to this, just because Ja/eyam Ravi seemed to have found done kinda groove with 'Thani Oruvan'. Endure the crude romantic track, the crude examples of boorish/loutish behavior on display almost throughout, but more so during the first hour/so, even though it Is consistent with the characterization...Endure a 7 foot giant wear material that he's being taunted with..Endure the various instances where politicians/capitalists decide to be the country's caretakers when it comes to filtering content...

There are 3 reasons for which I'd recommend this flick... First, the acting, including the lead actor Ravi's completely natural and uninhibited work, the guy who plays his mentor and his characterization, Prakash Raj's turn as the businessman who's, ahem, all business, all the time, who tries ensuring that his character doesn't become the typical caricature we're used to watching....

Second, the fact that this is about the inescapable corporatisation of sorts, that's all pervasive, and hardly any movie made locally addresses that issue the easy this does, even though I did feel that it tries to bite more off than it could chew.

Third, some very decent boxing choreography, especially in the climactic battle. No stupidly done wire-fu, for instance...

In conclusion, if you're prepared to endure a lot of pain to enjoy side atypical content, this is your ticket...I have to say that I enjoyed it overall...

The movie was very bad. There is no story line in the movie. Songs were very bad. Action scenes were good in the film. The film is very boring.

Underrated and Underappreciated Masterpiece from Akilan movie director πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ‘(Contains S
vaideeraghuraman31 March 2023
Story - Sports politics and media politics action drama film πŸ”₯πŸ”₯with base of North Madras boxing clans like what if these boxing clans are still alive in that place.( Directir Pa. Ranjith might of inspired this movie - Sarpatta Parambarai Screenplay - Interesting fast screenplay πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ‘, but few lags like Jayam Ravi and Trisha romance scenes kinda 5 minutes if its edited it would be nice.

Actors Performances - Jayam ravi nailed it as a north madras guy.

Prakash Raj best villain character after Gilli movie (honestly) Nathan Jones - 30 minutes extended cameo is worthy especially his kuthu dance before climax fight scene πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯πŸ‘Œ Multilayered things - They literally trolled news channels like Polimer news 🀣🀣πŸ”₯ indirectly. Plus they revealed the national and international sports politics (IPL Politics & BCCI team selection politics) through multilayered dialogues. U will understand it if u see it in a different perspective.

Final Verdict- Pure underrated masterpiece ahead of it's time. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ”₯Applause to the movie director.

I AM GONNA WATCH AKILAN MOVIE FOR SURE. A advice to those movie watchers. Pls blindly don't believe movie reviews given by YouTubers.
