Doctor will not clear Sivakarthikeyan debt but film is a fun filled watch

 

Doctor  with Sivakarthikeyan- director Belson ( Kolamaavu Kolikla) combo is a fun filled watch with good performances all round. We reported earlier that the film was to clear the debts of producer KJR who incurred it with the flop of Hero starring Sivakarthikeyan. Sivakarthikeyan had agreed to compensate it and KJR cleared all the outstanding from previous films. The problem arose was that close to Rs 30 crores that was taken for  Doctor by pledging the film's digital master was uncleared.

Advance booking in multiplexes did not start on the eve of the release as they were informed by Digital server provider that there is an outstanding amount and the financier who loaned it has not given a NOC. Producer KJR could not raise this amount and finally Sivakarthikeyan had to step in and through his network managed to get a leading distributor- producer to speak to the financier. The financier immediately told the digital provider to issue the key to theaters. By evening on the release eve, Multiplexes opened advance booking online.

As per the deal, Sivakarthikeyan would do a film for the financier- producer.  The end of the drama is that Sivakarthikeyan saved his reputation by agreeing to do one more film to set the account books right,

Theater response has been big. First Day reports show that a terrific opening and the audience satisfaction has been high. The humuour quotient has ben well recieved and it isa after a long time post Covid that a film really makes you laugh has come. Sivakarthikeyan who hit limelight with a comic- boy next door roles drifted to superhero roles and that was his undoing. In Doctor, he steers away from it. This has made his core audience happy. Yogi Babu comedy of late had been a big pain but here it gets the shine back. All actors like Priyanka, Archana (VJ) , Kingsley, Deepa Shankar and Vinay ( debut as baddie) along with veteran Illavarasu have all done justice.

Anirudha best song comes after the end title cards. Nelson's next Beast with this kind of comedy and Vijay's mass  raise expectations.
