Kutty Story - Paris Jeyaraj : Both good in second half


 Though the film title is Kutty Story , the directors with the exception of Nalan Kumarasamy has interpreted it as film with no story and minimum screenplay. The A1 team of Santhanam - Johnson that gave a hit has this time too made a time pass film , but for that you have sit through the boring first half of Paris Jeyaraj.

GVM has written a subject  that is always his pet  - Platonic love. Now to not sound repetetive , he puts in a safety net with his pals ribbing him about this aspect of love. The climax is what should have hooked the audience. It does not. It tells nothing new.

Move to director Vijay. If he is telling us the traumatic story of an  unwed mother who has to give away her new born child , sadly nothing comes through to pull your heart strings.

Next is Venkat Prabhu. Here the subject line is novel. A gamer and the charachters in the game merging with  illusionary- make believe world. The problem is that he does not carry the audience with the gamer's mindset. Maybe a longer time format could do justice.

The last segment and surprise is director Nalan Kumarasamy( Soothu Kavvum). The subject starts and ends smoothly. Hubby caught red handed by wife for his love talk with GF and her getting back at him is handled deftly and realistically. Add Vijay Sethupathi and Aditi Balan and you get a real good KUTTY STORY.

in Paris Jeyaraj ,Santhanam though not given up the trappings that go with a hero, has delivered a good laugh when the script demands. Sadly it comes in the second half. Director has effectively used the huge battery of comedians and  Santhanam charachter is in check and not overdoing the heroism bit. Gaana songs are bit too much in number. Time Pass after interval.
