Bogan

As usual the Tamil film world is making spices or masala in Hindi. Usually the new directors are trying their hands by mixing the plots from various movies from west. The directors are in a hurry to make a name quickly. So they approach big heroes with this formulas. This is a theme theft from Face Off.

I like this movie.jayam ravi acting was nice... A good commercial entartaiment movie.

The movie was superb. Jayam Ravi and Arvind Swamy rocked in the movie. The story was so new in the movie. The movie was not at all boring. But some scenes have no logic. Songs and BGM in the movie were amazing.

Bogan (2017): After having a major breakthrough success with Thani Oruvan, Aravind Swamy's stardom rose to heights and became most anticipated antagonist of Kollywood. Bogan has the same combo of Jeyam Ravi and Aravind Swamy as hero and villain and trailer looked promising.So how is it?

Plot: The plot revolves around Aditya (Arvind Swami), who has stumbled onto the secret of body swapping (a power that once belonged to the saint, Bogar). He uses it to get rich quick. His modus operandi involves swapping his body for a patsy and robbing a jewellery shop or a bank, all the while ensuring that the video evidence is against his victim. But Vikram (Jayam Ravi), an assistant commissioner, is on to him after Aditya uses his trick on the cop's father (Aadukalam Naren). Vikram manages to nab Aditya, but to get his revenge, the latter switches his body with former's. And now, Vikram has to save himself and stop Aditya before he can wreck more damage.

Plus Points:

1)Aravind Swamy and Jeyam Ravi: Just Like Thani Oruvan, Bogan is a celebration of the antagonist, and once again, Arvind Swami rocks in the role of a charismatic villain.Unlike Thani Oruvan, Arvind's character does more to the B and C centers, which is why his sly character and eccentric body language are more enjoyable.Jeyam Ravi scores once again with his performance as cop.Though he was overshadowed by Swamy,he made his presence felt.

2)Pre-Interval: The scene where Ravi befriends Swamy and smokes weed with him in his car is awesome.Their cray antics in that scene and those dance moves are hilarious.This scene is the highlight of the movie.Aravind Swamy and Jeyam Ravi sparked the screen.

Minus Points:

1)Predictable Screenplay: Bogan's plot is fantasized Indian version of Face/off.If handled well this movie could have been more better but Lakshman wrote a predictable screenplay with no surprises.Except the Pre-interval scene,most of the scenes looks tedious.Romantic track between Jeyam Ravi and Hansika is boring and takes most of time in 1st half.

2)Music: D.Imman gave some decent BGM but his songs are pathetic.

So,Bogan makes a one time watch only because of Aravind Swamy and Jeyam Ravi.

My rating 6.25/10

May be I am a little late for this but felt I had to do this. The movie did have some story to it but the way it was executed is nothing less than terrible. I have given two stars for the movie just for Aravind Swamy. Honestly, I had expected more from him, he too was not as good as he was in Thani Oruvan.I have no words for Jayam Ravi & Hansika's acting abilities. This is the only movie I was constantly forwarding while watching (Couldn't watch in the theater, doubt if it was even released here).
