Expect the unexpected, is what 'Arindhum Ariyaamalum' seems
to say and therein lies its strength. Director Visnuvardhan
has woven a good screenplay which shifts from romance to
action and to a tale of father-son bonding but laced with
humour. Sreekar Prasad's crisp editing can also take credit
for it. On the whole the movie is presented in style, and has
the right mix of emotions, humour, romance and action to make
it a good entertainer.
Story:
 Sathya
(Navdeep), a Brahmin boy who lost his parents while still a
child, was living with his grandfather. He comes to Chennai
to study engineering. He stays with his family friend 'Five
Star' Krishna. Sathya falls in love with Sandhya (Samiksha) a
classmate. Several times, Sathya witnesses Kutty (Arya), the
son of Adhi Narayanan (Prakashraj) a local toughie, in
action. In one such encounter of Kutty with his rival gang,
Sandhya is shot in the leg. She is hospitalized and Sathya
informs the police that he can identify the assailant. This
brings him in direct confrontation with the father-son mafia
duo. A newly appointed police officer is on the mission to
nail down the mafia gang. The story takes a turn when Adhi
Narayanan discovers that Sathya is none other than his son
and tries to bring him into the fold but the young boy is
terrified of his new found father and brother. The uniting of
Satya with his father and brother forms the rest of the
story.
Performance:
Arya bowls you over with his intense performance as the son
of Prakashraj. His ruggedness, body language and dialogue
delivery is very impressive. Similarly Prakashraj as the
middle aged mafia leader who maintains his cool and later on
as the doting father who chases his newly found son is simply
marvelous. Navdeep is impressive. Samiksha fits the bill as
the mod chewing gum college student.
Music:
Yuvan's music is racy and foot tapping.
Verdict:
Above Average.
