Jeevan was looking forward to a hat trick of hits with Machakaran. Sadly, it turns out to be a hackneyed, boring regressive piece of kitsch, that leaves you exhausted at the end!
Tamizhvanan, who gave that racy romantic entertainer Kalvanin Kathali ( Did S.J Suryah, ghost direct it?) has dished out one of the most insufferable movies in recent times. The film has no basic script or plot and six songs are thrust into the two and a half hour film at regular intervals, worth a snore!
If there is a discernible narrative at all, it spins like a top around the lovers eloping with the girl’s boorish cop brother trying to outwit them but ends up with egg on his face. Vicky (Jeevan) is the eldest son of a Railway officer, is a perpetual loser in whatever he does and is looked down by other family members. One day he meets Shivani (Kamna Jethmalani) , daughter of a rich textile tycoon, who has brought all the luck to her father, with her Midas touch !
Soon the ‘unlucky’ Vicky is drawn towards the ‘lucky’ Shivani and they fall madly in love! Due to circumstances, they are forced to elope, with Shivani’s cop brother in hot pursuit. The lovers decide to go to Shivani’s father’s village in Theni, where he is considered and treated as “Mr Nice Guy”, a philanthropist and savior of the locals, and is given the honour of conducting the temple Thiruvizha, every year. How the runaway couple against all odds rips his good guy image and exposes him in front of the entire village, forms the rest of this predictable yarn.
It looks like Jeevan sleep walked through this film. A word of unsolicited advice for Jeevan, who now calls himself Mirattal Nayagan ; please do not do such roles like this of a soft romantic vanilla hero, singing dream songs in Switzerland! Kamna is far too cosmetic for comfort. Technically inconsistent, the outcome is neither visually appealing, nor musically happening. Poor Yuvan is having a tough time this Diwali, as he is simply not able to come out with good tunes.
