This song has been my alarm tone for years :)
Tune was composed for a pre written song.
when I said we can relate to Vijay => its the powder clad face with the vibuthi - the color banians - the uncuffed full hand shirts - in middle of those sweet little kids - stepping and catching up with his friends - cycling - scooter ride ... so on.

The movie opens with the Pokum malarae song, where you immediately are introduced to Udhaya. As his name suggests, he wakes up in a cabin on the tree with a book folded over his face like a mountain. Here its been preplanned not to waste any more screentime to develop Udhaya's character and they use the song to register that Udhaya is a bookworm (a high graduate fellow - Kandipa namma batch illa), cool, social - Patavida sirukama sollanumna - oru sweet boy. The following episodes explain his integration towards his country, how he wishes to ride to sucess by aiding in India's upliftment. With just few lab apparatus + a train key chain (thats a great symbol for what is in store in the second half) he discovers a bomb and wishes to use the energy it would produce in various sectors, ofcoarse for all the good purpouses. This cool and calm guy has a weakness, his temper. Eventhough measured, he is like a goat, he fonces whenever his dear ones are in trouble without a second thought. Vasanthi, another commoner in the town, and Udhaya secretly without their permission fall for each others charm. The time they pass was so lovely that Vasanthi fails to inform Udhaya that she is already engaged. When Udhaya comes to know about it, he is shattered and without giving a second thought, he packs to go to the city, a normal strategy used - when you keep away, you start to forget. At the city, Bashir, another commoner from the same town as Udhaya, helps him with accomdation and a job as a journalist. udhaya's phisolophical point to work for the upliftment of India, shines in the reporting role too as he wishes to pinpoint the anomalies in the soceity and bring an awarness. The tool he takes in hand is "truth". But ofcoarse - you can see the height, but never reach it - strikes another blow crushing Udhaya's motive to bring forward an illegal spirit (poli sarayam) scandal as the hands indulging in it are the sharks who swim in buisness-men costumes. While being dejected, Udhaya is offered help by 3 of his neighbours who really got some weird ideas which are anything but social, but what they got more was guts. Teaming up with Udhaya and Bashir, they publish the news that pulls of the strings in all worng ways possible, resulting in the murder of Bashir. Oh boy, loosing all his bright hopes due to all his shattered dreams and loved ones, the clueless Udhaya meets the Thalivar of the 3 guys, Dhananjaya Veeran. The sweet talks of Veeran comes as a medicine to all Udhaya's internal wounds. He teams up with Veeran actively involving in various social awareness programs. To add to the shinning times, Vasanthi comes back to the city in search of Udhaya, after a grand mishap that staled her marriage. Veeran takes them under his wings by providing them a place to live, eventhough a garage, a suitable place for the love birds to continue their 2nd innings. Udhaya is getting back to the life he had dreamed, he redefines happiness. During this peek of joy, a convincing tale narrated by Veeran, makes Udhaya to produce the bomb (scroll up to see the bomb discovery), a quantity of 10 kgs, so that Veeran could use it for a normal cause - for quarry jobs. The naive Udhaya runs back to Veeran when he learns that several kids and women were killed in a bomb blast, asking him to give him all the violent means to take down the ones behind this gruesome act. Veeran convinces him that he will take care of it himself, and he does take care of it by informing the police that Udhaya is the brain behind the blasts and the evidences of the bomb manifacturing is in a garage. What follows next are quite few revelations about Veeran, udhaya's deception & Vasanthi's all the means to liberate Udhaya from the vulture eyed police.
If you are convinced with the above narative and have a wow factor about Udhaya, the movie will prove you wrong. Usualy I put "I have a problem with ..." as the last points so that you can catch it up when you watch the movie, but here I start by telling you those as Udhaya on screen looks half-baked. The editting is wrost than a school kids first crayon drawings. The scenes jump off, the continutity lags, the dialogues and scenes do not correspond. Add much much elements to it, the movies looks like a shattered dreams of a creator to whom this movie was quite dear and near. Now, get back few previous posts you will find out the dark history on the development of the film. Talking ill things about Udhaya is like beating a dead snake. Instead what was served must be enjoyed thoroughly. These various points made this movie more dear to me as it allowed me to play with it. I can easily follow the pattern the film maker wants to put forward, and if he was allowed to do so, this movie would be talked about for all good reasons. But still it has reasons for Vijay Fans to cherish this movie and book mark it.
Vijay - you can note various mannerism of vijay those which are shelfed in a museum now. To start with, its the last movie where he actualy artuculates properly by using both his lip and teeth. He gives those natural smiles and cries with a shyness spontenously. He brings out the innocense quite normaly but certainly fails to emote the deception. Hey! we are talking about 2004 and an upcoming actor whose been given coaching lessons by Nazzer & Balasingh. But he does pull off his character quite good. From the romance angle you can't get to see many things unfolding (again check some previous posts to know the disaster), but how Azhagam Perumal uses the mind voice as a narrative projects the charm of the lead characters putting us in a similar dream state. Its one of a kind last movie, where Vijay leaps and fights. He does that with quite efficiency not minding who is attacking him, but only bothered to punch anyone who approaches him. The whole construction buliding fight sequence was shot and editted beautiful which not only shows the aggressive nature, but also a normal human instinct to escape. And finally the gruesome climax on closed bus on fire brings back the momentum. After the college fight episode, look out for the blue shirt guy. Vijay passes a message to "some" fans, following it would be quite healthy for several discussions.
Simran - Talking about Simran would prove that I am still partial to certain artists. Bring in Simran, I dont have anything else to note, ask rapidfire questions at me then, the reply you would get from me would be "Acha..Kidhar". What an elegence. The lip syncs she does make you forget that someone is dubbing for her. And just before the SPB-malayam song Vijay comes to meet her while she is singing ryhms for the kinder garden kids. I wish I too took a place like Vijay in the classroom ! Simran teacher is a student's luck.
Nazeer - Heath Ledger yenna aiya Heath Ledger, namma allu chuma mookai-yum oru siripaiyum mattum vachikinu, romba asalta panni irruparu. Just like the Udhaya character, Azhagam Perumal has conceived Veeran equally brilliant. Notablly the way shots were kept for Nazeer automaticaly puts you straight up in the chair. Till the end this Veeran Character did not miss even a single meter right from costumes to performence. Add the eagle-cry bgm for him, you feel the crookedness. Orey oru scene soldran - When vijay comes crying to him after the bomb blast, Nazeer carefully listens to him and before assuring him he turns and looks at Balasingh and then again turns back at Vijay. A lesson from Nazeer. Equally performing is Balasingh. Sirichikita pusuku pusuku-nu Kaala vari oudra character.
Music - Better enjoy the Pokum malare song eachtime you want to know about the music of this film. Its funny that noted one thing when I was watching the title cards to put the names of people involoved in this film. The title music sounds like the "Subway Surf" game ... LoL.
Azhagam Perumal - I really cannot pinpoint or understand what really would have gone wrong. Azhagam Perumal seems to be quite confident with his script, the strongness being the characters and the casting. But did he fail in administration and co ordination as a director. You see, preproduction does interest me, but my role basically come only after - reviewing the end product. Whatever happened was pathetic. "Haunted Script" lines padikum podhu, you tend to beleive in Ghosts. Anyway, as mentioned earlier, the way the original scenes were filmed are gloomy to the eyes. The natural lights, the focus on beautiful things that the film maker wants us to see, the zoom-in, zoom-out kind of naration are all note worthy. Be it few romantic lines or the "hot-coal" views of the Veeran's Iyakkam are well written. The way the twists are handled along with the narative and not as a suprise element are briliant. But still I felt that the mystry about the Iyakkam short lived. I would have liked the Iyakkam's hand on trapping Vijay right from the begining as a mysterious body would have worked well too. Add in all the censor problems, the whole Iaykkam's impact goes for a toss. Remake the film I say !
For Fans (ofcoarse others too) : Not taking into account Thirumalai to save some "serious" sub-posts, Udhaya marks itself as a mile stone in Vijay's carrier. The vigarous shift form the "boy-next-door" to "Last-action-hero" enters this movie quite bolded in Vijay's filmography. Each actor, has a BC and AD sort of thing. This one falls as BU (Before Udhaya) and AU (After Udhaya) for Vijay. Neither this movie should be forgetten in viewership nor omitted in the sucess of Vijay.
Udhaya : Rise of a star.
