GOAT, Vijay's Failed Political Launch Vehicle

GOAT, Vijay's Failed Political Launch Vehicle

Vijay has a lot of young and middle-aged women fans, but as voters, they are possibly now with the DMK, or remain with the AIADMK. Recapturing this constituency would have helped Vijay's political launch and the GOAT script and dialogues could have gone a long way in helping out. But the kind of script and screenplay and the unusually and equally unnecessary long run-time (3 hours, 3 minutes) that GOAT offers takes the film experience over the heads of those that are not familiar with secret agents and uranium theft in Tamil cinema, observes N Sathiya Moorthy.

Dasavatharam is a good album. But one wonders about the possibilities for such an over-hyped film, starring Kamal Haasan. If only the music was composed by stalwarts like A R Rahman, Vidyasagar, Harris Jairaj, Vishal Bhardwaj or even youngsters like Yuvan Shankar Raja or G V Prakash, who are familiar with the Tamil ethos.

Aascar Films's Vaaranam Aayiram, directed by Gautam Menon and starring Surya in many varied roles, is a moving, if a longish tribute to an ideal father and a loving son. It's a common enough premise and is Surya's magnum opus but this one is inherently up-market.
