Watched all the 3 movies which are supposed to be copied from Enemy of the State... Havent seen the original hence am not going to make a comparison with the original with respect to the way story is told.. The 3 movies are Muttirai, Vamanan and Kaminey...
Muttirai sucked big time. Daniel Balaji's character has been reduced to a caricature. Nitin Satya irritates you to the core. Manjari Phadnis just does not fit in. She is unfit for tamil movies. The 2nd half was such a pain that audience were yelling, shouting, yawning, walking out at will and at one point, I was praying the movie ends soon to put an end to the torture we were going through. The kaattu vaasi sequences were an insult to our intelligence. The climax had no impact by the time we got there & the only feeling you had was - can I get out of the theatre now ?. Music by Yuvan was good. 'July mathathil' and 'Night in still young' are really good - but again picturization is not upto the mark. 'azhagaana neeyum' is a nice melody. Yuvan wasted good songs for this crap movie. Srinath should stick to what he does best. Acting !.
Vamanan was much better. The oorvasi, jai, santhanam sequences were really enjoyable. Priya has done a nice job. Rahman turning foe was a nice twist which did not exist in Muttirai. The climax was really beleivable with the shoot-out between Bihar Gang and the ketta Police. Jai has carried off well. There is no heroism in his character which makes believing palpable. Music is superb and one of the best audio releases oflate. 'Etho seigiraai' lingers for a while and picturization is also cute. 'Lucky Lucky' is really rhythmic. Roop Singh Rathod and Javed Ali are such good finds - their voices are soleful.
Kaminey had an interesting twist by making the good & bad both as Shahid in dual role. The first half was really good with good pace. The characters were all so beleivable and good. It takes a while before you can work out what is happening in the movie and that is true hollywood style.
The Priyanka's brother demanding money, and then the climax that follows is really bad. It reduces the movie to a cartoon. Shahid Kapoor looks good,acts well. Priyanka is good in the initial sequences when they discuss Pregnancy etc. Her Marathi is admirable for a northy girl. Over-all Vishal has justified once again that he is more than capable to be a director.
I would say Avoid Muttirai, Watch Vamanan and Watch Kaminey. None is a must watch !
