Storyline:
A gripping tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Bangalore and here lives Shiva (karthik) along with his friends. He is in a desperate need of job and his friends also help him. However, he has got an attitude that is hard to comprehend. Shiva’s life takes a turn when he sees Charulatha (Tamannah) and it is love at first sight for him. One day, he goes to the railway station in a friend’s car to receive someone when Charulatha along with her uncle come and get inside the car.
They assume him to be the car driver and compel him to take them to Chennai. Midway, during a stop, Charu asks Shiva to dump her uncle and they set off to Mumbai. Why did they go there? What is Shiva’s link with Mumbai? Who is Bali (milind soman)? All this forms the rest of the story.
Presentation:
The director has come up with an interesting theme and he has excelled in both the presentation and narrative departments. The dialogues were witty, the script was well written and the screenplay was effective. Background score adds to the moods but only two songs were good. Cinematography is the key highlight and they have done an exceptional job. Editing was crisp.
Costumes didn’t have much work while the art department was also in the backseat. Karthi has given a fabulous performance once again and his accent is worth a watch, Tamannah looks seductive to the core and her innocent beauty makes up for the glamor part, Jagan gets few laughs for his humor while Milind Soman was mean but was not used to the fullest. Sonia looks raunchy hot. The others didn’t have much to offer.
Technical:
Director Linguswamy comes up with an engaging first half, but runs out of ideas in second half where he had to fill it up with continuous fights. Screenplay of the movie is very good except for the latter portion of the movie.
Music composed by Yuan Shankar Raja is nice. Most of the songs in this film are situational. Cinematography by Mathi is good. Dialogues are laced with humor. Editing by Anthony is adequate. Fights are well choreographed.
Final Verdict:
First half of the movie is entertaining. Second half is little heavy with continuous fights. The plus points of the movie are engaging storytelling and the lead pair. On the flip side, the story line might prove to be too thin for a film of 2 and half hours of runtime. On a whole, Awara is a decent road movie with adequate entertainment.
