Stalin is worth a watch for humanitarian aspect and an emotional climax.Chennai, Dec 24 (PTI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin and actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Friday condoled the death of legendary filmmaker K S Sethumadhavan, with Haasan describing him as the 'fountain head of new wave cinema.' In a statement, Stalin condoled the death of the director and expressed grief over his demise. Stalin stands as an example of how a good climax can change the fortune of a film. The human element of altruism deserves an appreciation. There are ups and downs in the film with logic missing in some scenes. The last 20 minutes of the film stands out with very good emotions. Second half is better from the moment villain enters the scene. Producers Nagababu and B Madhu should be commended for coming up with a film that has social relevance and humanity aspect.ДЄnalysis: First half of the film is pretty mediocre as there is no conflict thread in terms of villain. Fights by Kanal Kannan are superficial with lot of threadwork. Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is good except for a couple of scenes in fight sequences. Dialogues by Paruchuri brothers are adequate. The crowds liked вЂParare ParareвЂ™ and вЂTauba TaubaвЂ. I personally liked вЂSiggutho ChichiвЂ™ and вЂSuryudeвЂ™ songs. Other departments: Music by Mani Sharma is average. Stalin is worth a watch for humanitarian aspect and an emotional climax. At the same time there is a brainy action episode (well - oil tanker). The last 20 minutes of the film stands out with very good emotions. There are certain episodes in the film that touches your hearts like the race of physically challenged people. But he could not fuse other threads (sentiment and action) of the film in a convincing manner. The director Muruga Doss exploited the humanitarian angle very well. The director added a conflict thread in the form of Prakash Raj and made it sure that the вЂpay it forwardвЂ™ concept converges with the villain thread in climax. Story - screenplay - Direction: The basic thread of one helping three people is inspired by the Hollywood film вЂPay It ForwardвЂ™. Sarada and Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao are adequate. Mukesh Rushi and Pradeep Rawat are good in their roles. You will see different Sunil in that scene. Sunil steals the show with an emotional performance in climax. Prakash Raj acted as a senior politician and he is good with Nellore dialect. But her role is not a part of the main story. Others: Trisha is lovable in a small role and her comedy timing is good, as usual. There is a good comedy episode with heroine in the beginning of second half. His dances in Parare and Tauba songs are very good. Chiranjeevi did extremely well in emotional scenes. ChiranjeeviвЂ™s reputation as man of social service helps the credibility of the character. The rest of the story is all about how he transforms the society with that simple formula.Д¬hiranjeevi: Story of this nature needs an actor with lot of off screen influence. He wants to bring change in the society by implementing a simple formula of extending unconditional help to those are in need. He usually gets peeved that the apathy in the society and how it affects in turn. Stalin (Chiranjeevi) is an ex-military man who spends his time in helping people.
