It was a dream debut for Pandiraj, as the 2009 sleeper hit Pasanga brought in both commercial success and critical acclaim - and the big bonanza, of 2 National Awards. While his last outing Marina did not bring in the moolah, the adverse title and bright star cast of Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga, livened expectations.
And we the people, have been miserably cheated.
KBKR, is the story of two inseperable friends - 'Theni' Kesavan, and 'Pattai' Murugan, who are your usual good-for-nothing loafers, who aim to become politicians in the near future. Their life, their love, and whether or not they succeed in their ambition, seems to be the apparent crux of this story.
Positives, yes. Able performers have been chosen to fit their roles, and both Sivakarthikeyan and "Parotta" Soori deserve credit for making the film lively through its runtime. Vijay's cinematography is commendable, and coupled with A.Siva's editing, the movie is laid out to a decent runtime. While Yuvan Shankar Raja's album is shockingly forgettable, his background score gels perfectly with the film. The heroines, Bindu Madhavi and Regina Cassandra, still have a long way to go.
At the end of the film, it would not be criminal to say that the effort of this very able cast and crew has been blind, due to a rather baseless storyline/screenplay. The movie, runs amok through its course, pointless throughout, only to end at what seems like an unexpectedly forced message. The pace of the movie is lethargic, though there are those rare bright spots of comedy that lighten us up a bit. It is tragic to see Pandiraj, the man who brought to screens the impressive Pasanga, fail to impress us yet again with KBKR.
Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga, is a haphazard-running film, which invokes a few laughs. Those impatient enough to catch it on Aditya TV, or some other channel in the recent future, can take this ordeal up.
