The dynamic team of Dr. Salim, director Sasi and music director Vijay Anthony are back with another stellar movie, Bichagadu. Let’s see if this combination has weaved magic for the second time as well.
Story:
Arul is a millionaire, and he shares a strong bond with his mother, who runs the business while Arul is studying abroad. Once he returns, he learns that his uncle, Avinashi is trying to usurp his property. Just when Arul plans on taking over the business, his mother meets with an accident and slips into coma. He tires in vain to revive his mother. Finally, he meets a particular sadhu, who asks Arul to become a beggar for 48 days, as that will help his mother come out of coma. The only clsause is that he has to start afresh every single morning. Every rupee earned should go into the collection box of a temple, and he should start begging with an empty pocket and an empty stomach every morning. Arul agrees to this and goes to the city to become a beggar. While pretending to be a beggar near a temple, he meets the heroine Satna Titus and gradually falls in love with her. It is then revealed that the hero knows Satna through an online match making portal.
Satna, after learning that Arul is a beggar starts to detest him, until she learns that the isn’t really a beggar but is doing this only to save his mother. She is now impressed. Meanwhile, Arul, with the help of another beggar learns that a group of doctors from a mental health care institutions use its’ patients for experiments in their labs. Once the doctors know that Arul knows the truth, they attack him. In this ordeal, his girlfriend, Satna is injured. He doesn’t have the money to save her, and the fellow beggars now come forward and help him with the money. What happens next? Does his mother come out of coma? What happens to his uncle, Avinashi? Answers to all these questions lie in the movie. Watch it to know more.
Analysis:
Though the story is a little away from the regular run of the mill movies, the performance and a frail plot do not talk much. A bunch of purposeless bad guys, a very weak plot and an unclear motif for the hero to become a beggar only confuse the audiences, deviating them from the track of the movie. Though Vijay Anthony does a commendable job being a beggar initially, he soon becomes very monotonous in his acting. The romantic track between Satna Titus and Vijay Anthony could have been made better, or fully avoided, as it seems farfetched and totally unnecessary. Good screenplay makes the movie a little interesting.
While too much drama and over emphasis mar the essence of the movie, the background music and Vijay Anthony’s songs suit the mood and melodrama of the movie. A particular song, describing the condition of the beggars is more like them trying to pull out emotions from the audiences forcefully. While the editing is very apt, the cinematography is also highly dramatized.
A little pat on the shoulder to the director, Sasi, for bringing forth the story of a real life noble man, but the over dramatization and the exaggeration only kill the audiences interest in watching the movie.
