Soori [2003]
Soorya (Vignesh), a marketing executive from a close knit middle class family falls for Rishabha(Uma) the moment he sees her for her simple looks and social consciousness. Rishabha also reciprocates. He even agrees to her terms and conditions that they decide to stay away from each other for a year and meet again. She believes that if theirs were indeed a true love it would stand the test of times. A year later Soorya returns only to hear the shocking news that Rishabha is already married and settled in Tiruchi. Unable to bear Rishabhas betrayal a furious Soorya vows to take revenge on her. He sets off to Tiruchi and finds out that she is married to Main Gaurd Gate Manikandan (Parthibhan), a local Dada. The rest is Sooris efforts to kill Rishabha and how Manikandans prevents it.
Actor Vignesh has made a come back through this film. Vignesh, who had to shave his head more than 70 times during the making of the film has given a good performance. Whether its romance or the action or the emotional disturbance, his performance is noticeable. Parthibhan who comes in a brief role is adequate. Uma is refreshingly beautiful and played her role with understanding. Its a sad thing that such a talented actress like Uma is being neglected by the industry. Vijayakshmi as a call girl is sensuous. Barring few odds in the narration director Shelvan, a one time associate of Shankar has given a neat film with a well thought out script and carefully handled scenes. The climax is bold, unusual and appreciable. Devas music and Vijay Miltons camera are big assets to the movie. The visuals especially in the song sequences are stunning.
Combination of skillful direction, rich production values, creditable music, eye-catching camera work has brought out a quality film.
