The laugh on us! Vadivel's Indiralokathil Na Azhagappan fail to make you laugh, actually it make you squirm uncomfortably in your seat for nearly 2 hours and 35 minutes! Welcome to the celestial world of Indiran and Yama, where a common man Azhagappan goes on a guided tour with Rambha.
Vadivel in one of his interviews has said that he had "to skip 22 films to do INA"! Anybody who understands what makes a comedy film work with the viewers would not have done this travesty of a film. What does the audience except from a Vadivel film? A basic story line like Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi and lots of comedy scenes which will make you laugh. Instead writer and director Thambi Ramiah has dished out a fantasy film with a skewered message!
Vadivel: 'I enjoy making people laugh on screen'
The film lacks comedy and a cohesive plot. It is a lot of mumbo-jumbo about nothing. Azhagappan (Vadivelu) runs his own drama troupe with his set of friends and lives with his loving mom (Sumitra). One day celestial beauties- Urvasi, Ramba and Thilothama, visit earth, Rambha loses her way (!!) and due to circumstances Azhagappan marries her. Later Rambha takes him to Indiralokam (heaven). Azhagappan is shocked and distressed to find the conditions prevailing in Yamalokam(hell) and does his best to redeem it.
The film tries to sell the message- "Do good, Be a good person and only good will happen to you".
We hope that Indiralokathil Na Azhagappan was merely a mad film. Mad can be entertaining if it is done intelligently. But the problem with this film is that it hardly raises any laugh and the script is so weak. Sadly you have no words of praise for Vadivel who can't rise above the flawed script. He hams it up, is loud, overacts and over-the-top style of delivering dialogues especially in the scenes in hell as Yama.
After watching the film, it feels like you've been trapped in there for what seems like a lifetime. None of the songs are shot spectacularly, the sets looks artificial and Shriya’s much hyped item number as a witch doctor falls flat. All blame for this disappointing film is the screenplay which is clichéd, unimaginative and amateurish to say the least.
On the whole, Indiralokathil Na Azhagappan is a tough pill to swallow, as it is so damn boring. Don't go in expecting too much, perhaps you won't be too disappointed.
Verdict: Bore
