Review - Pudia Geethai

Language: Tamil
Hero: Vijay
Director: Jagan
Music: Yuvan Shanker

It's a fresh teaming of Vijay with Meera Jasmine and Ameesha Patel.

'Geethai', an action-oriented love story, has Vijay playing Sarathy an MBA student who does odd jobs to pay for his education. The prediction that Sarathy would become rich and famous, but will not live beyond his 27th birthday, creates much anxiety in the family. Much is being made about Vijay sporting a sixth finger for the role, which will twitch and alert the hero of things to come. Meera Jasmine plays a Tamilian, while Ameesha plays a Kerala lass.

The film was rejected by Vijay fans ‘coz it was not the one which they had expected. Some says that it flopped just ‘coz the story was not realistic. No man! The Vijay film which followed was Thirumalai, which too is unrealistic. But it was a hit.

Coming back to Meera. Meera’s character was there through out the film, but not very much appealing. She did the role of a mentally retarded girl which seemed not very much attractive for her Tamil fans. If she had done the same role for a story based film then it’s OK. But this one is an action based Vijay film. It is true that she ofcourse exhibit some Meera style of acting in some of the scenes.

Pardon her! She has not got too much experience to select good roles. Nowadays even veterans are failing to choose good characters. Then what to tell about a girl who is very much new to the industry!!!
