POOVELLAM KETTUPAAR MOVIE REVIEW
by Vishy

PKP is another one of those movies that seem to keep on coming these days, with a light story and trying to entertain the audience rather than give them any food for thought. That, by itself, is not really a problem if the movie served its purpose of entertaining. Unfortunately, it falls quite badly in that department for the most part, making the viewing a complete waste.

Nasser and Vijaykumar are music directors who have stopped working together because of some differences and continue to maintain their enmity. The incidents that lead to their split looks quite childish -- not that people do not fight for childish reasons, but do we want to watch it is my question. Soon comes this really surprising act of Surya and Jyotika, their offsprings, falling in love. This is one of the most boring stretches of the movie and goes on till the intermission. The problem is not with either Surya or Jyotika, but rather with the stale screen-play that has been shown in hundreds of movies so far. Then the loving couple decide they won't marry without their parents' permission in the style of Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and set about endearing themselves to the respective future-in-laws by acting as servants in their homes. Here comes the best part of the movie, with some crazy mistaken-identity scenes involving Kovai Sarala that are the forte of Crazy Mohan. It was a memorable 20 minutes, a total laugh riot, but, unfortunately, it was too short-lived. Then we move onto some really predictable scenes that lead to the surprising ending of everyone agreeing to their marriage. Stupid!!

Watch it on the video, simply for the 20 minutes of comedy after the intermission.
