Irandam Ulagam by Selvaraghavan (Review)



Story:A fantasy love story of  different dimensions. The movie has a lot of hidden messages for the audience. first half of the story will be a sweet and romantic love story while second half will be and adventurous journey in new world. The theme is about spreading love beyond boundaries. It's about changing the world just by spreading love. Having parallel universe subject is a new thing in Tamil cinema. Therefore hats off to Selvaraghavan for breaking the norm. The story is rich and full of fictional elements.  

Cast:Both protagonist has 2 characters in this movie. Arya plays Madhubalakrishnan and Maruvan. He plays a social activist for unfortunate people and a brave warrior in a parallel universe. In first half of the movie, Arya's romance skills were absolutely superb. A lot more sweeter side of him and wild character on the other side. One of his best achievement in this movie were his lean muscular body with mild six pack abs. It really brought up the warrior character. And then Anushka as Ramya and Varna. Ramya is a doctor while Varna is a lady warrior who doesn't want to be enslaved. I personally think she is a good actress. She can portray wild lady character very well. Her sword fighting stunts were not bad. Other key characters were played by foreigners.

Screenplay: Good thing about the screenplay is about making white guys speak tamil. In the second world, besides Arya and Anushka, all other characters were played by white guys and girls. And it's so amusing to see them speak in layman Tamil. Second of all how Selva manage to instill the value of love which can change the whole world. It was simply superb. The CGI were not bad except for the climax scene. seriously the CGI can be said an added value. But the war setting was not that good. Can be seen not many junior artists used for battles, seems a bit empty there. The BGM was mood booster. But had some cliche with Moonu BGM. Maybe it's due to Anirudh's touch. The songs were well visualized. I started to love the songs after watching the movie. The first half will definitely be peoples favourite because it's all about romantic scenes between Arya and Anushka. Second half will be draggy moment with a very simple conclusion. That might  be a drawback for the movie. The art direction for the movie was superb.

Music: Songs composed by Harris Jeyaraj were averagely good. The BGM and songs by Anirudh was excellent.

Plus Point: Story, Cast, BGM, Screenplay and Cinematography.

Minus Point: Draggy, and climax too simple.

Verdict: Don't put too much of expectation. Just enjoy it as fantasy product. Don't try to find logic. Can be watched at cinema once.
