If you have already seen Kill Bill series , Gangs of wasseypur or Tarantino style Movies, Vada Chennai may not offer a novelty but It is a definitely an engaging thriller.
As Tamil Nadu undergoes a churn in the political arena, the gullies of Vadachennai undergo a similar churn wherein the gang head is killed by his own associates. Will Andrea, the wife of the now deceased gang leader is successful in her scheme of orchestrating an elaborate revenge or dhanush as Anbu makes his own course in the gang wars is the crux of the story. Dhanush is definitely a treat to watch as the reserved and expert carrom player. Be prepared mentally to withstand the expletives spouted by most of the characters. Definitely worth the money spent.
Interesting snippets:
Godmother to chandra: Listen to her, she means only good for you
Chandra to Rajan: Don't go, I have a bad feeling about this
áLa Calphurnia To Caesar.
Anbu To Guna: I want to move out Anna. I have no ambition
Guna: Stay with me, You will have a great career
Anbu: Pardon me, Sir. I don't know if you are the good man.
(Allusions to the dichotomy Of Man)
Chandra: Anbu must be saved. He is the one who shall destroy the killers of my Husband.
(Prophecy?)
Prelude to the next part:
1)Godmother is like the Delphic oracle. A Mysterious character who seems to know the future. Who or What is She remains to be seen.. She rarely leaves the side of Chandra. Like Manthara And Kaikeyi from the Ramayana?
2)The role of the police officer who Rajan beats up. He in turn swears revenge. What will happen next?
Waiting for the next part..
