Cast: Dhileban, Anjali, Jayaprakash, Sampath, Jagan.
Director: Kinslin.
ARM comes up with his second
production after Engeyum Eppothum, this time again bringing one of his
assistants as The Director.
Vathikuchi deals with the life of a
share auto driver Shakthi (Dhileban) that gets entangled with that of 3 others’;
Sampath (a goonda), Jayaprakash (a merchant) and Jagan ( a salesman). Anjali
plays Shakthi’s love interest.
Director Kinslin has come up with a
very nice concept with social relevance in Vathikuchi. Dhileban does a decent
job to do justice to the concept. There are some interesting sequences
throughout the film. You will like the fights if you are willing to overlook
the unnecessary use of ropes in majority of them.The BGM is decent. The
cinematography is good but the shabby work by the colouring department (even if
intended) makes the visuals not so pleasing to the eye.
Though the idea of linking Sampath,
Jagan and Jayaprakash to Shakthi is nice the screenplay lacks the content to
make it look natural. Anjali and all the songs have been included for mass
appeal but that along with some other unnecessary scenes really take the juice
of what could have otherwise been a juicy thriller.
Some scenes like where Shakthi runs
away from the goondas to get sleep, food and exercise appear to be way too logical
(or silly), yet some other scenes like where Shakthi gets repeatedly hit on the
head and yet keeps fighting appear to be way too devoid of logic.
But as said earlier Vathikuchi has
it’s moments, though in parts.
Iam
giving a 2.75/5 for Vathikuchi. A tighter screenplay would have made it a much
better thriller.
