A slow first half, horrific interval, a routine revenge based 2nd half, few out of sync songs, two heroines who make no sense, a terrific Suriya, few ghosts, decent music and cinematography is what Masss in a nutshell. It could still become a 100 crore raking film but the satisfaction and emotional connect is missing. VP is an intelligent director, who is street smart and Masss had a basic plot to become an all time blockbuster. The songs and bgm were groovy in a typical VP-YUVAN style. The cinematography was cool as in all VP films and music by Yuvan was the only highlight after Suriya's performance. 2nd half packs a few emotional scenes and the revenge drama with some gory killing scenes which made me wonder how the film got an U certificate. The first half is just a collection of random scenes and only during pre interval, the film picks up. The cuts were harsh and the scene transitions were random.
Other characters like karunas, Motta Rajendran etc were just fine.Įditing was abrupt and jumpy. Parthipen as a bad cop was awesome but his character was underused.
Premgi's jokes were outdated, except a very few one liners that go unnoticed in the jarring music. Nayanthara and Pranita did not create an impact to the story. Dialogue delivery, mannerisms, expressions were too good. He showed good variation between the two characters and carried this cool conman style and ruggedness. He is an amazing performer as always and does a terrific job.
MASSU ENGIRA MASILAMANI REVIEW MOVIE
It could have been an amazing con heist movie with the help of ghosts but Masss is nowhere close to it. So basically Masss is yet again a routine ghost-taking-revenge drama, which had a great plot but screenplay lost its way. And this ghost Suriya is the father of Masss Suriya. But there is this ghost who looks like Suriya and this ghost wants to take revenge on some baddies. Its about a man called Massilamani aka Masss aka Massu who can see ghosts and communicates with them. VP makes no attempt to reinvent himself but sticks to routine commercial formula.īut I liked the basic plot very much. There is this deja vu feeling in majority of the scenes. But it seems he is stuck in some rut, with repeated casting choices and references to all heroes and films in Kollywood. VP was the one who broke quite a few cliches and created a new trend in filmmaking with Chennai 28 but his films started to lose quality after that. Because after a point in time, screenplay becomes predictable and all I wanted is the movie to end so that I can watch the end credits and bloopers which would be more entertaining than the movie itself. With Masss, Suriya scores a six but VP only manages to score a four, that too because the fielders (read as audience) stopped giving the ball a chase. Second, for Suriya, because he is a talented artiste and I wanted him to make a decent comeback after a disaster called Anjaan.
One, for Venkat Prabhu, because I still believe that he was the one who gave us Chennai 600028. There were two obvious reasons to watch Masss.
