Plot

Rasu and his son Chinnarasu live in a small village, Veerapandiyan. Rasu is the village head. Smitha is a psychiatrist whose ancestors grabbed properties from a royal family. In an accident, Chinnarasu loses his mental stability and is taken to Smitha’s hospital. Soon, Chinnarasu falls for Smitha. Meanwhile, Neelakandi, a witch, searches for Smitha to kill her as she wants to revive her lover. Soon, they all land in a Zameen land, where they witness bizarre incidents. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Star Performance

Shiva is best at his part, as usual. The fans always loved his cinematic non-expressions right from his debut film. His witty dialogues and body language are good. The rest of the stars, including Anandaraj and Ravi Maria, are decent with the given roles.

Analysis

Rambala, who directed Dhillukku Dhuddu with “ Santhanam Santhanam is a Tamil movie actor who is famous for >> Read More... ,” created a huge expectation with this film. Though there are some interesting spoof sequences, the audience expected something different. It didn’t cover even half of Dhillukku Dhuddu, is the audience’s comment. Though there are no particular solid roles, we could see a lot of known stars in the film. The cinematography and editing are good. The BGM makes us feel that it had been used umpteen times in various films.

What’s There?

• The performances of the stars are impressive

What’s Not There?

• Predictable story
• The writing could have been better

Verdict

If Rambala had concentrated well on his writing, the film would have reached well. However, for the performances of the stars, Idiot is watchable once!
