Suriya delivers an extraordinary performance throughout the film
New Delhi:
Cinegoers down South will definitely have something to look forward to this weekend with the release of KV Anand's Tamil language Maattrraan, also being released as a dubbed Telugu version called Brothers, starring Suriya and Kajal Aggarwal.
The plot revolves around two Siamese twins- Vimalan/Vimal and Agilan/Akhil (both played by Suriya). Their father runs a huge company which manufactures one of the best energy drinks for children. His competitors attempt to capture his secret recipe by employing a Russian spy who befriends one of the twins and their common girlfriend Anjali (played by Kajal Agarwal).The Russian spy somehow gathers the secret formula of the drink with their help but is killed by some unknown men. Soon after, Vimalan also dies in an accident. Now separated from his brother, Agilan he learns that the Russian girl was not a spy and also realizes a dangerous fact about the factory run by his father. To discover the truth, he and Anjali leave for Russia. The answers to these mysteries form a part of the climax.
Suriya delivers an extraordinary performance throughout the film. He is equally at ease in action scenes and songs. Kajal Agarwal has little scope for acting, but looks gorgeous in almost all the songs. Sachin Khadekhar has done justice to his role as Suriya's father.
On the technical front, Soundara Rajan's cinematography is superb and so is the editing. A highlight of the film is Suriya's real life brother Karthi provides the voice of one of the Siamese twins. The music is average. The romance between Anjali and Vimalan and comedy scenes between the Siamese twins keep the audience entertained in the first half. The film takes a serious turn with lots of action scenes in the second part. The narration is excellent and the director never loses his grip either on the story or screenplay right from the beginning till the end.
Definitely another box office bonanza for Suriya.
