Manjapai
Neat comic entertainers are close to all kinds of film buffs. Here comes a film of that ilk from the Thirrupathi Brothers, the production house that has been churning out commercially successful and critically acclaimed ventures for the past few years. `Manjapai' directed by debutante Naveen Raghavan a former assistant of Sarkunam a director whose second film received a national award. Apart from mentoring the director of this flick, Sarkunam has gone the extra mile to launch his production banner, A Sarkunam Cinemas to fund his former accomplice's debut directorial venture along with a popular banner Thirrupathi Brothers. Sarkunam has displayed his wit as well as social consciousness in his films like `Kalavani' and `Vaagai Sooda Vaa'. Naveen has followed his mentor in selecting a comedy subject for his debut film and we can expect him to deliver the same kind of results. Vemal who has become a household name with his performance in rural based comedy flicks plays the lead character, Tamil while Lakshmi Menon who has acquired the `lucky girl' tag by acting in back to back hit film coming under various genres, acts as the lead girl named as Karthika Menon a city based doctor. Both Vemal and Lakshmi Menon have carved a niche for themselves in the film industry and their first time pairing up will certainly add up as an attraction for the film. Veteran actor Rajkiran who was last film in Tamil was the 2011 Dhanush starrer `Venghai' makes a comeback with this film playing Vemal's grandfather hailing from a village. The combination scenes between the two are expected to rock the screens with rollicking comedy. It is to be noted that Rajkiran will be seen in a humorous role for the first time. Music of N.R.Raghunandan who has given super hit songs in `Neerparavai' and `Sundarapandian' will be another big plus for the film. The initial choice for the composer was Ghibran who backed out later. The songs that have been released recently have proved that the makers' have got an apt replacement. `Manjapai' that will be hitting the screens on June 6 will be the best bet for those who seek to enjoy their weekend with some pure, unadulterated entertainment. |
