IKMS (Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam) , is Director Simbudevan’s latest venture. After a mediocre movie (Arai En 305-il Kadavul), the director will be looking to enhance his reputation as a film maker with a difference. IKMS is set in the genre of Wild West movies. It has dancer-actor Lawrence playing the lead role. Sandhya, Padmapriya and Lakshmi Rai play the leading ladies in the movie. The Film has caught the imagination of many with its unique theme. But whether it sets the cash registers ringing is not known. The movie has released today and is doing average business so far, but the weekend will spell the verdict.
Veteran producer Kalpathi Sa Agoram is the producer of this movie and songs are by GV Prakash. The music director is getting good projects of late with this one following his laudable effort in Ayairathil Oruvan.
Coming the review of this movie. IKMS is has a strong story line. Not that it breaks stereotypes familiar to Tamil cinema, but the theme more than compensates for the usual good versus bad drama. Opening in a mythical time when Tamil Nadu was ruled by Cowboys the movie takes off with a serious plot. The freshness of the theme keeps the interest till the end of first half. But the slightly elongated second half makes you wonder if the could have been edited well. Raja Mohamed is the editor and in all fairness has done a good job. The director perhaps is little carried away by the theme. The good versus bad theme runs as an under-current in this movie and one can’t help but note the similarities of scenes between the ones in this movie and the ones in classic Wild West movies from Hollywood. The director should have been aware that those movies are very popular in Tamil Nadu. Padmapriya and Lakshimi Rai play the rough female cow-buys and their presence lends credibility to the movie, but nothing spectacular from them.
My only crib in this movie is that, none of the lead actors do full justice to their roles. They don’t fail in their attempts, but a more convincing performance would have been better.
The support cast more than fills in for this defect. Manorama, Nassar, MS Bhaskar, Delhi Ganesh, Vaiyapuri and Mouli make for a very impressive support cast. The presence of such names makes the milieu more realistic and credit must go to the director for roping in all these people for one project. Sandhya plays the love interest for Lawrence in this movie. And though I am not a big fan of her work, she pulls off an above par performance.
Overall, its worth the watch. Good choice for this weekend. Perhaps and 3.5 on 5 will do justice for this movie.
