Rummy (2014) Review: The latest man next door sensation star in Tamil Vijay Sethupathi after his continuous success comes with this village based vintage story. Will this film get him success or will it become a silent hit we have wait for the first week box office reports. Till then my take on this flick below, Nothing new in this movie it's a pretty predictable plot. The story is a perfect mix of Yesteryears success movies like Subramaniyapuram, Nadodigal, Sundarapandian. Main stream gist: Two love stories of two close friends streaming in parallel where, the end of one love facilitates and gives confidence to the other. On the casting side the movie as in posters is portrayed as a major Vijay Sethupathi starrer but the fact is Vijay Sethupathi and his love interest Ishwarya Rajesh have less screen space compared to Gayathri and Inigo prabakaran love line. Inigo had a greater screen space and he has utilized it well. Gayathri the "PPPaa" girl of Naduvula koncham fame comes as a rural girl of 80's lifted her character well. Parotta Suri comedy was not so good as his previous ventures.
Technically the screen play was pretty engaging and music by D.Imman was soothing. All the three main stream songs were like some where heard tunes but it will be in good melodies of this Mynaa music man. BGM was superb. On the whole it will not disappoint you. Definitely a once watch kind of movie. NB: The story has nothing to do with the Rummy card game may be the love was at stake that's why the title card had the game name. -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran (
