Movie Review - "Pandi"

Here is the Pandi Movie Review. Hero Lawrence and Sreeman are the sons of the couple Nasser and Saranya, are two extremes. While Sreeman is the perfect example of an ideal son, Lawrence figures in the dangerously short tempered son who is of less value to the family people. Hence for these reasons, his entire family except mother Saranya, hates him whole heartedly. Meantime, Lawrence meets Sneha and falls in love with her.

A crucial snarl-up in the family brings to light Sreeman’s ugly side and he elopes with his father’s hard-earned money which had been saved for his sister’s wedding. Lawrence takes over from this point and shoulders his family’s responsibility. In the process, he moves to Dubai for greener pastures.Sneha is the show-stealer and announces the arrival of a siren. So much for her good girl next door image. She coils hard for the three songs in her designer outfits – of course, scantier than her earlier movies. The songs Kutthu madhippa and the Maasi Maasam remix song which was done shoddily, making you wonder what the point was in brutally butchering the lovely original provide ample scope for Sneha’s dancing skills. Sneha’s sexy dance moves also makes poor Namitha’s item numbers look lusterless.

While Nasser, Saranya, and Sreeman score with their performances, Lawrence looks as if he definitely needs acting lessons. Or is it just that director Raasu Maduravan felt felt a hero need not bend backwards to make himself look credible? That apart, U.K. Senthilkumar’s camera feasts on Namitha big time and Suresh Urs’ neat editing flows with the movie without interrupting the course of it.Thus the movie is not upto the mark. Lawrence is seems to learn a lot of acting stills. But all knew that he is the master of all dances.
