Run for your lives!!!

I like police movies. Kakka Kakka is one of my all time favs. Saami is also a good flick. Just when I thought there won't be anymore cop flicks, Satyam came. With all the hype given, 6 pack abs and all, I expected it to be a block buster, or atleast a good flick. I was a little disappointed when it was said Satyam was flop. I had seen some great films like 'Anbe Sivam' (Kamal, my all time  fav.)  become commercial flops due to the bad publicity given by ppl. So I made up my mind and saw the movie.*gasp*

The first thought that came to me: Ppl were not wrong this time. Whoa! From the first scene where he flies from one side of a bridge (not the end, the side) from nowhere, grabs a criminal and flies through the other end, till the last scene where the introduction song is repeated, the movie sucked. I had initially seen clippings of the movie in various reviews and the scenes had been good. Now I realized with horror: those were the only good scenes! Nayanthara, though flickers for a few moments, is nothing but a commercial element that only helps in slackening the pace. Even the children are of no use. It only shows how pitiably tamil cinema is dependent on commercial features. The concept of comedy remix is good though.

The fights was where I found that there are places on earth where gravity can be defied. The fights were so long that I was chatting with my bro til it ended. Seriously. No need to mension the car chases.Vishal has built his body. That's justified. He has shaved his head and mustache because his mother died since this is tamil cinema. That just sucks. The last scene totally lacks logic and i wondered who the idiot was: hero,  the villains, the police standing there, or the audience watching it.

When at last the movie ends, you are smiling, not for the movie, but for something else you had been chatting about, or even if for the movie, for your foolishness on spending money. I need not say what the few good scenes are, for all the channels have already telecasted them. So I suggest, see only the scenes in tv, and be content with the feeling that Satyam is a good movie.
