Unfortunately, the film does not perform anywhere near the feat was expected to do. But inspiring message of the film, things like companionship, genetic science and DNA make it seem an attempt Doughty on the part of the machine Ghajini. In fairness to AR, the film is no small feat for a director in southern India. The amazing breadth is impressive, but the director is trying to play to the gallery for most of the first half being in a traditional style, thus failing to be faithful to history. The film begins on a lavish scale. Located in 520 AD, it recreates both the Pallava country centuries old in the south of the Vindhyas and the bucolic China realistically. Start on a good note, the narrator tells the story of Bodhidharma here. A martial arts exponent, who was also a connoisseur Samhitha Charaka, Bodhidharma (Suriya) visits China after being instructed by his guru Matha. Through many landscapes, it reached the neighboring country, that of being ostracized by the xenophobic people in this part of China. Soon they realize that Bodhi has powers seer after he heals those who are affected by a deadly disease by applying his knowledge of medicine Bharatiya. It reaches a heroic status in society when he defends the village from the onslaught of aliens in a fight remarkable run. This sequence of gravity-defying action, shot on Suirya and foreign fighters, is a visual feast. Imagine a fight where a hero clairvoyant who can control the five elements is armed men. This fight just saw your expectations. And beard Rasputinesque Suriya adds charm to holy struggle. Going back to the story, the film cut this after the death of Bodhi. Aravind (Suirya new) is a circus artist, who lives in Chennai with an amazing line. Shuba Srinivas (Shruti Hassan) is a research scholar, pursuing genetic engineering and hopes to apply the study for his research on DNA Bodhidharma. It aims to trigger the dormant genetic memory of the offspring of Bodhi with the highest percentage of its (Bodhi) DNA. No prizes for guessing that Aravind is a descendant. Meanwhile, China plans to declare a war against India in bio-infecting at least 3 million Indians with a deadly virus (the kind that killed lakhs of the Chinese 1600 years ago). But it is a threat to the success of his mission. Bodhidharma may return in the body of Aravind any time if the experiment succeeds futuristic Shuba. (We are told that the idea is in its infancy in the United States! Nevertheless, our heroine made rapid progress in that while having fun with our hero). The tone of a larger than life stand-off is set at Dong Lee (Johnny Tri Nguye) from India to perform operations and eliminate the Red Shuba brilliant. How do Aravind has acquired almost superhuman powers of his ancestor, Bodhi? What problems Shuba and face in their adventure of disinterested save millions of lives to be affected by the virus kills life? The answers to these questions are answered in the second half, which is not look for the way the story unfolds, but for two or three episodes of action and a great number of Nice. First the positives. 7th Sense works very well in the songs. The first block of 15 minutes to remind you that Kamal Hassan made in Dasavatharam. Ravi K Chandran's cinematography stands out here, where the narrative voice of stentorian Mano ratchets up the intensity. Characterization of Lee Dong is mean another major high light. For a change, the destruction of anti-hero has tremendous hypnotic powers, and each sequence where he wrecks disaster after disaster is brilliant. (You Gunning police each other down, a fight beautiful road where vehicles fly and the common man is our hero and heroine under the magical influence of the wicked). How Shuba and friends plan to address the situation by retreating into a laboratory located in the forest near the IIT-Madras to work on the revival of genetic traits in Bodhi Aravind works. The discourse of genetic memory and engineering of the DNA of a person is a new concept in an Indian film but the director fails to move forward. The genius of our ancestors is invoked to inspire the nation to bring to life the wisdom of the Indians buried. The graphics are pleasing. Fortunately, the songs do not interfere the story in the second half. On the other hand, the film has too many fault lines. First, the romantic track that starts right after the flashback and continues to harass us until almost immediately before the block of the interval is, to say the least, misplaced. Where was the need for two duets and a song of tragic hero after he comes to know that Shuba is after him to use it for research? The entire track is not essential to the story. We understand the director / writer need the commercial to infuse the usual dose of eccentric movie, but the public does not go to the theater expecting to see such things in a much vaunted Sci Fi thriller. It would have been logical to keep it minimal. A scene where Shuba is expected to present his idea of the thesis ends up being a poorly written lecture on the antiquity and greatness of Telugu. Murugadoss waste the opportunity to build momentum throughout. Instead of exploring the technical aspects of the fundamental idea which runs through the film, which would have added a touch of the esoteric meaning of the procedure, it keeps the film simple. The songs are intrusive in the first half. Dialogues could have been much better. Suriya character is surprisingly sketchy. It does justice to the role, however. Shruti Hassan fits the bill and looks beautiful in the songs. The actor plays Vietnamese Dong Lee is superb. There is nothing to write about others that appear in blink-your-eyes-and you-will-miss-it cameos. Overall, 7th Sense does not live up to expectations. Attempt to Murugadoss' can be bold, but this technique falls flat. He should have known that this is not a Ghajini where the overplay of the element of love is required. Postscript: The biggest removing the film is its message. "O you! The children of the Rishis, unite. You have a world to win. "As a citizen of India in love, you would like to urgently appeal to all Suriya to revive the legacy of countless mahatmas spiritual and scientific in the end, but not forcefully delivered, not should not go unnoticed. |
