Movie Review : Kumaara Sambavam
Varadharajan ( Kumaravel) a strong social activist is found dead one day. He is a tenant in the house of Kumaran (Kumaran) an aspiring film director who now comes under suspicion for murder.
But as begins to reveal to cops about how many enemies Varadharajan had over the years due to his activism, the list of suspects grows longer.
Now its upto Kumaran and his friend ( Payal Radhakrishnan) to find out the truth in order to save Kumaran from jail.
So, who killed Varadharajan? Does Kumaran arrive at the truth?
The film is a dark comedy from Balaji Venugopal and comes with his characteristic wit and dark humor.
The plot is interesting and the screenplay runs at a steady pace, with ample twists that help to keep you glued to the screen.
There are characters aplenty each with their quirks, that keeps the laughs coming, often in the most unexpected places, which raises the entertainment quotient. In short never a dull moment on screen.
Kumaran gives a noteworthy performance, though he looks a tad too serious in the first half, but does lighten up in the second half. Payal shines in her role while the bunch of supporting cast is exemplary in their perfomances. Vinod Sagar, Bala Saravanan, Prince and Livingston are worthy of mention thanks to their subtle but effective act.
The film is fun but never gets loud. Many characters but each of them gets their place in the sun. Will you be able to guess the killer? Highly impropable, giving the unpredictable twists in the story.
Overall, a light- hearted family entertainer, laced with emotions and a warm heartening message.
Rating 3/5
