A little
too much predictable, revenge romantic thriller, shockingly from the
magnanimous Shankar. Fortunately he is saved from humiliation by Vikram's
performance, Rahman's music and Sreeram's camera. In both romance and thrill
departments, the plot is flat. A Mister India aspirant body builder Lingesan
(Vikram) has a huge crush on supermodel Diya (Amy Jackson). Lingesan becomes
Lee, as he gets a chance to act in advertisements with Diya. As time passes
they fall in love and emerge as a successful pair in modelling. In the
meantime, five persons - a bodybuilder, a model, a stylist, a businessman and a
secret villain - who were affected by the skills and honesty of Lee, use the
'I' virus to deform his appearance and destroy his future. The story moves on
as to how the hunchback Lingesan takes his revenge and unite with the love of
his life Diya.
Chiyaan
Vikram is the saviour. His physical and emotional transformations, from
Lingeswaran to Lee to Hunchback, are commendable and even a level ahead of his
multi-role performance in Anniyan. Make-up work for the hunchback and the beast
song adds score to his acting efforts. Kudos to WETA. Chinese gardens in P.C.Sreeram's
camera and A.R.Rahman's music, are a treat for eyes and ears, certainly a
wholesome experience.
Though
she is best suited for a role as a model, at times Amy Jackson's portrayal is emotionless
and void of romance. Clearly there was no chemistry present between Amy and
Vikram. Thanks to Shankar, this negativity was eclipsed by the mediocre
screenplay. Unlike his previous blockbusters, no dialogue has the
electrifying effect, no scene is memorable. A terrible disappointment.
