Ayan - Movie Review

It has been a long time since I have posted and I thought what better way that to write about something that I am completely obsessed with and your guess is right. It is about movies and in particular about tamizh movies.
I know it has been some time that the AVM productions Ayan released and it probably makes not much sense to write a review about a movie that has been running successfully for more than three weeks now. But I just wanted to put my thoughts and observations about it.
The highlight of the movie is the screenplay which keeps you engrossed for the complete duration of the movie. The direction is exceptional too. Every minute action of the actor can be linked to the story (for those who have seen the movie, just recollect the scene where Surya and Jegan are in the hotel room in Congo where Surya puts the diamonds pack in the bag and Jegan who is lying down kind of gets up to see where the diamonds are kept and put it in perspective to the story just around interval). For those who have not seen the movie I hope I have not given away the story.
The choreography of the stunt sequences by Kannal Kannan is very good and Surya does them all without any substitutes. Surya's agility is exceptional and the chase sequence in Congo (based on the French art of Free Running called Yamakasi) is testament to this. This sequence is portrayed well and also equally brilliantly captured on camera by MS Prabhu. This reminds one of the initial chase sequence in Casino Royale. Equally spectacular is the car chase sequence in Malaysia. Stunts are definitely the best I have seen in Tamizh movies.
Technically the movie is brilliant with some awesome photography of Congo/Ethiopia in the movie. The colour combinations work wonders. They have shot in a place that has the sand dunes and then right next to it is the deep blue sea. This is simply exquisite.
As for the story well it is nothing great but the main point being that Anand, the director, has explained everything to the viewers and there is very minimal lack of logic.
The comedy is not a separate track but well with the story line and handled by Jegan with some awesome dialogues that suit the situation and at the same time don't seem over the top. Also, one important difference I found with other movies is that this character has a lot of substance and importance which in itself is a revelation.
The heroine Tammanna is quite alright nothing too great though she looks real nice.
Overall it is really a good movie with all that is required to click with the masses and also tease the multiplex crowd too. My recommendation would be to definitely watch the movie and preferrably in a good theatre.
