Vai Raja Vai

Let me start off saying that this film is very under rated. Its a very feel good entertainer which has the right commercial elements along with an engaging story line with ESP at its core. After a more serious and sensitive movie '3', Aishwarya indulges in a more commercial film here. But the comedy (led by Vivek, Sathish and co), the superb music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, the engaging screenplay (more on the issues in second half coming up in the negatives) and the technical aspects make this film very entertaining. Gautham Karthik is good though his inexperience shows in places. Priya Anand is eye candy and so is Tapsee. Vivek, Satish and co are a riot. They hold the first half brilliantly. Yuvan's music is a huge plus, with the "Pachchai Vanna" being the highlight. But the 2nd half falters. The film goes almost haywire. The Dhanush cameo in the end looked forced, in order to please the front benches. But overall, a nice film for a weekend time pass.
