Finally, the most talented actor has drenched himself with the ostentatious mania of commercial films. Blatantly, the actor excelled with surpassing magnitudes over his exceptional roles in his previous films and on spur of moment, opted for a sudden change towards commercial genres. Embarking his new-fangled choice with ‘Thennavattu’, the actor continued performing happy-go-lucky chap in ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ as well. And now, here comes another release ‘Kacheri Arambam’ that in no way proves to be a dissimilar one.
Uh-huh! Nearly after a year of long sabbatical gap, Jeeva is back with a similar formula brimmed with fun, action, romance, punch dialogues, Kuthu songs and so on. Jibing with lots of masala films churned out in the past, ‘Kacheri Arambam’ is a film that runs on hackneyed lines with threadbare traits.
Guess what? Even a first time moviegoer can easily predict the proceedings of this show with an ease.
Let’s put it this way – ‘Kacheri Arambam’ is a pain in audiences’ necks as it annoys us vividly with a clichéd narration. Except few comedy quotients delivered by Vadivelu, there’s nothing special to get impressed with the film.
The film’s protagonist ‘Paari’ resembles the mythological characterization of ‘Paari Vallal’, who is well known for his unstoppable charity and generosity. Of course, he crosses the levels of what a real charity means by giving away his ducky gadgets and bike. A huge difference of opinion with his father (Azhagam Perumal) urges him to take a serious decision. Make his way to Chennai to prove himself a successful man. Just as Paari arrives in Chennai, he meets a beautiful girl Madhi (Poonam Bajwa) at an unexpected juncture. With accordance to your prognostications, he falls in love with her only to get involved in out of the blue trouble. Of course, it may be a trouble he unthought off, but it’s somewhat a clichéd problem as a baddie appears.
Certainly, Sivamani – a crooked don (J.D. Chakravarthy) gets into the scene acting as impedimenta as he has already threatened Madhi to marry him.
As witnessed in various commercial films, rest of the film is all about a conflict between good and bad with a predictable climax.
It really makes us doubt whether R.B. Choudary had his head over the clouds while heeding to this script. How come such an intellectual actor like Jeeva could drop the ball with such a dim-witted film? Although, the actor has brooked around with dance steps and fight sequences uttering punch dialogues, in no way he enchants us. At time, you’ll feel disgusted with often repeated mannerisms of existing commercial heroes. Be the sequences, where he strives wooing down his girl or the trickeries played on J.D. Chakravarthy during second half: he leaves us vexatious. Carrying out the traces of Trisha’s delineation in ‘Ghilli’, Poonam Bajwa doesn’t stand out at any points. Naturally, she looks cute and bubbly, but these alone cannot make an actress successful. On pars, J.D. Chakravarthy disappoints us very badly in spite of his powerful performance. The actor shouldn’t have accepted such a weaker role after having donned an overpowering performance throughout his career. Vadivelu’s comedy tracks keeps us engrossed at certain occasions and the actor gets along with funny liners and fantabulous body-language.
It’s hard time for D. Imman as the young musician has been disappointing us constantly for past few years. He has to come up with some commendable tunes, if he has an idea about sustaining his prominence in film industry. Much alike the inconsistencies in narrative aspects, director Thiraivannan has copycatted the stupidities of preexisting commercial formulas even with camera angles and editing cuts. The continuous shakes and irritating cuts makes us unbearable to such circumstances, especially during stunt sequences.
‘Kacheri Arambam’ can be better avoided as it doesn’t offer any quality entertainment apart from few comedy tracks by Vadivelu, which would be obviously telecasted in vital comedy-oriented satellite channels within next couple of days.


Verdict : Kacheri Aarambam only for masala lovers
