KEDI BILLA KILLADI RANGA(“KEDI DULL AH KILLADI BORE AH”)

Cast: Sivakarthikeyan, Vimal, Bindu Madhavi, Regina, Suri.

Director: Pandiraj.

After a promising start with Pasanga we saw a decline in the quality of content in Marina. Now that has gone down further with Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga.

First of all there is no relevance to the characters and the film name except that both the characters are Rajinikanth fans and were born when their mothers were watching those films on tv!

Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga is “formula film” with a few songs, romance, (so called) comedy scenes, and (horrible) sentiments. But the sad part is that the film does not even live upto the standards of a normal “formula film”.

Murugan(Sivakarthikeyan) and Kesavan (Vimal) are best friends who are jobless. They want to get into politics. Paappa(Regina) and Mithra(Bindhu) play their love interests respectively. Suri who is a “veettode maappilai” is always there for Murugan and Kesavan.

The plot is so silly and amateurish. Both the heroes keep going behind the heroines without much use in the first half. After the interval all of a sudden the heroines develop interest for the heroes, it does not end there, even the parents are ok with it. What more can one ask for! Sivakarthikeyan along with Vimal (after being wronged by the local MLA) manages to contest the election with the little money he gets from Regina and her dad. The list of such instances and the superficial characterisation of almost the entire cast are disappointing to say the least. If you are still inside the theatre during climax you would understand why the words “sentimental scenes” have taken a negative meaning.

Though some scenes are genuinely funny most of the time you are just indifferent. The film looks much longer than it’s runtime of 148 minutes and if you are real fan of comedy films the only reason you would sit through would be the air conditioner inside the theatre. The film just keeps drifting pointlessly on and on and on and comes to an abrupt end!

Iam giving a 2.25/5 for Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga. It’s time for Pandiraj to take a serious look at what he is doing if he wants to maintain the name he has earned.
