The Legend Movie Review : Legend Saravanan's vanity project is commercial cinema at its dullest
Synopsis of the film Legend: a scientist is driven by the death of his friend to find a cure for diabetes, but can he take the power of the pharmaceutical mafia and succeed in his mission?
The Legend Movie Review: With The Legend, JD-Jery Borrow Director Shankar’s Playbook from its 2007-Blockbuster Sivaji and gives us a film based on the Commercial-Savileged-Saviour-Hero formula and Five-Song-Six-Fights of the Cinema of the Cinema Time – someone has become a date even at the end of that decade. Seeing him playing on the big screen after 15 years only gives us Ennui because every scenario they produce feels boring, not imaginative and is fully predicted.
This story revolves around Dr. Saravanan (Saravanan legend), a world -famous scientist who has revolutionized the field of antibiotics, who chose to work from his village for his “makkal”. Encouraged by the death of a friend of his diabetes (Robo Shankar), he decided to create a medicine for this disease. But this describes bad news for the pharmaceutical mafia, which has suffered a lot because of previous Saravanan research – the antibiotic requirement test. So, their Indian operators (Suman, Rahul Dev, et al) decided to sabotage Saravanan research, even causing very personal losses. Can scientists find him to continue his research and succeed in his efforts?
Hype around the legend alone because of the leading man, a Saravanan businessman, who has chosen to become a film star. For his appreciation, Saravanan did everything he needed by the hero – he could fight, romance, dance, hide the punch dialogue (“delicious me padhavi mukkiyam illalanga .. makkall dhaan mukkiyum”) and act emotionally. Sadly, he did all this without moving a single facial muscle (the fact that he in makeup in every shot only made him worse), and everything we registered was only a empty performance like the film itself.
It did not help that the rest of the show was also far from convincing. Geethika and Urvashi Dautela feels quite out of their places while senior actors such as Nasser, Vijayakumar, Devadarshini, Sachu and Thambi are crowded, it seems that they only cash a decent salary check. Yogi Babu is almost not funny while the late Vivekh deserves to get a better film. But everyone is always dressed nine, as if they are part of advertising for Saravanan clothing stores.
One thing that JD -Jery did was in polishing their products to hide two main shortcomings – writing and lead the show. The film was installed on a scale that reminded us of the big star film from the 2000s, and even a plastic visual tone (R Velraj was a cinematographer), and a large but empty score (by Harris Jayaraj) came from that time. Unfortunately, if only they spent some of the money they had hcrash on unnecessary songs and action to write! Forget the Wannabe star like Saravanan, even bona fide superstar like Rajinikanth will not succeed in saving this arrogance project.
