Urumeen

Cluttered past, a worn out book that travels ages with a glitter that distracts, overreacted vengeance in the present and a story lost in translation in the engineering debacle of the time

Machine( story lone through ages ):)

The movie starts off with a motion capturesque prelude number one ( flash back 1) on revenge. What we do get from the prelude is a book that's skewed towards soothsaying, favouring the hero who's snitched on by his friend cum snitch in the historic prelude. 

Post this we have an unemployed engineer, his love interest being a junior from college, he gets a job, meets his junior and the senior strikes a chord of love, she's troubled by her infatuated financier. The financier is immolated by one of his prior loanee's, whose sister was seduced and dispatched by the financier. 

The financier has a hip gangster bro, who's the main antagonist to our hero. The villain was also a nemesis to our hero in the past Janma story 1, remember, the man had snitched :)

As the story proceeds towards its logical conclusion, The book keeps surfacing over and again, aiding our Hero's future. 

Then in the past janma version 2, there's nation at his heart and patriotism in his deeds when he's confronted by a foreigner with strip chess. The foreigner loses the games, strips. But in reality he strips Indians like our man, by paying for a snitch, the villain. 

The hero is reminded over and again about the grudge he's been carrying at his heart for ages immemorial. 

He finally succeeds at revenge in the present. 

Bobby is under-utilised and over emoted needlessly. Aggression in facial reaction is over emphasised. Kaliarasan could've been helped by a better script. But this movie is one he will never be remembered for. Sometimes one should remember to forget the Madras Kalai.

The cinematography is good for most parts. The background score is decent.  

Tea is the snitch as water dilutes it :) 

people having watched it will understand I hope .
