Maatraan brings together Suriya
and K.V.Anand once again after the success of their first film together,
Ayan and has managed to get a personality for the title even before the
release. For the first time in Tamil cinema, the hero is not just portrayed
in a double role, but as conjoint twins who are inseparable from each other
physically. It is an interesting attempt to make a unique form of cinema.
As always, there's good news and there's bad news.
Director K.V.Anand has given us
Maatraan in two parts, the one we get to see in the first half and the rest
that follows. As the film starts off, the team's effort in making two
Suriyas appear together pays off and you don't feel like the shot has been
made twice for each character. The dialogues are catchy many a times and do
a good job differentiating the twins. The Theeye Theeye song and the fight
sequence towards the end of the first half signify the tremendous effort
taken in making things enjoyable throughout the first half.
Suriya has always been a solid
actor for a while and he proves himself again with not one, but two roles
in Maatraan. His efforts in making both his characters very different make
things very interesting. Both the characters of Vimal and Akilan have
totally different speech slangs, dialogues, body language and features and
to play their roles alternatively scene after scene would have been very
hard work indeed. His performance in the emotional scenes connects with the
audience on a large scale, even as the movie is filled with action. But
Suriya makes it look very natural and outgoing and deserves a lot of
plaudits.
Kajal Agarwal and Sachin
Khedekar, mostly cover the rest of the sequences of the film, and both take
a step back and let Suriya do his thing. They both continue to be a part of
the plot up until the end of the movie and the director makes sure they
aren't part of a puzzle that don't fit. Maybe a bit more detailing on their
background would have made things better.
Maatraan gets a lot of help from
the Srinivasa Murthy's VFX department and the way everything looks natural
in the first half, even when two Suriyas are standing next to each other
throughout is a tribute to their work. Soundar Rajan's cinematography works
in tandem with the effects and impresses. Meanwhile, editor Anthony gets
the toughest job of editing the film that is filled with added effects and
touches and despite everything, he joins bits and pieces pretty well.
The action sequence shot at MGM
in particular deserve a huge mention, as the twins wriggle and fight
together giving you a lot of reasons to hold your breath. Peter Hein does a
really good job of coordinating twin fighters, and tones down the fighting
to a level that's believable and also exciting.
Harris Jeyaraj's songs from the
movie have already become popular before the release and will only get more
momentum with time. The Naani Koni song in particular looks gorgeous on the
big screen thanks to the exotic locations chosen by K.V.Anand. His
background score in the first half, including Rettai Kadhire which gives
the intro to the film are nice touches to the demands of the audience.
As much as the first half of the
movie raises your expectations, the latter lacks enough suspense to make
the audience get excited. The end of the first half reveals most of the
aspects of the movie half and once you have caught on to what's going on,
the climax just seems inevitable. A few logical flaws here and there appear
more prominent than one would like, and changes the impression got by the
viewers in the better parts of the film. Summing it up, Maatraan is worth a
watch for Suriya's acting and some great groundwork done by K.V.Anand.
Harris Jeyaraj's songs look great on screen and are sure to be seen on TV
frequently. The second half does a shabby job of wrapping things up, but
it's still gives you an unique experience overall.
