Gaayam--Brutal Brutality!!

"One who lives by the sword, dies by it"-The Bible

The saying in the Bible is true when it is real life or reel life.Each person who lives killing others, finally ends up being "KILLED".

Enter Gayam, a saga of Fiasco,friendship and above all Fate.A story which deals with the ugly face of Underworld which has taken quite its toll in Tamil Nadu.

Story:

Gayam is about two friends Siva(Bharath) who is deaf & mute by birth and Koti(Aarya),both of them orphans..but as usual having the dream to make it BIG.In the process of doing big, they end up being Hired Killers to one particular person called Swami who assumes the role of being a "BROKER" between the big shots and the Gun shots!

Then, you have a girl running behind Koti, but he doesn't believe in love. Fate finds a girl for Shiva, but doesn't realise the path of shiva. From swords to Guns..the two Assasins are given a BIG-Deal job of finishing a top gun in Coimbatore.

Questions arise : Can they do the Job? What holds them back?

Direction:

Vishnu Vardhan actually rectifies the mistakes made by Selva raghava in Dhoolpet.The raw environment shown actually adds to the effect.But you feel that Vishnu could have done alot better than that.Anyways a neat effort from him.

Cinematography/Camera Work:

Nirav Sharma's camera work is of First rate and he shows the "Quentin Tarantino" camera angles.Few fights are mentionable and the camera-work really deserves a pat on the back.

Music/Background Score:

Huh! Time that yuvan starts to rethink about the music that he scores, it has become quite repetative and the background score reminds you of "Manmadha".

Perfomances:

Bharath:

From Boys to Gayam, bharath has surely matured a long way as an effective perfomer.He is already being hailed the "NEXT big thing" in kollywood.His body language as a mute and deaf guy shows his calibre as an actor.

Aarya:

He did he part quite well as the friend of Bharath and the effective gangster when killing his "Prey".

Heroines:

Both the debutants didn't have much scope, but did their part quite well.

Others:

None of the other perfomances are worth a mention.


Highlights:

The camera work and the individual perfomances are worth a round of appalause. The story has nothing new in it but definitely has a fresh air about it.

Low-Lights:

The story is too chennai-centric for a regular telugu cinegoer.Too much of brutal violence also spoils the show..The rawness may also not go quite well the Tollywood audience.

Analysis:

On the whole, gayam is just a typical tamil dubbed flick which has no patricular ability to survive in the mainstream tollywood films.

Typical movie for "Sunday First Show" and gayam is a review-writer's haven!

My Rating : 2.5/5

Bottom-Line: Expect offbeat trash, you will get something good.
