Oram Po - My Review

If you are struck by boredom and have no idea how to fight it, you can watch oram po. Movie lovers, don’t expect too much.

There is no fascinating story, spellbinding action or beautiful song sequences but it is all simple and straight with predictable end and no twists and turns.

The movie is all about auto racing. I appreciate the director, who has given a turn to the tamil cinema from the usual car racing and bike racing, for picturing such a concept (hoping that this doesn’t inspire somebody to make a movie on Rickshaw racing). To give you an outline, Bigulu and ‘Son of god’ are two most popular rivaling auto mechanics (who earlier worked together) and chandru (arya) is Bigulu’s friend. And from there, it is all about auto racing between the two teams, some challenges faced by arya and expected love episodes between arya and pooja.

Though the movie lacks good comedy and appealing dialogues, individual performances definitely need to be marked. Arya, for the first time has played his role with right expressions at the right points of time. Pooja, needless to say, rocks in the movie. Others have played their parts with no flaw. One more commendable aspect of this film is the screenplay which is the first of this kind. Also the manners in which the auto races have been pictured are sure to excite the audience.

Rating - ***/5

I feel it deserves these 3 stars for excellent screenplay, good acting, “the typical tamil film racing styles” using autos.

Verdict : A not-so-boring movie worth watching for the novel concept.

P.S- Don’t miss the final scene. Pooja looks ravishing in it.
