Vanna Jigina (U): Book Your Tickets Right Away!
Jigina Plot:
Vijay Vasanth plays an average looking guy who keeps ruing the fact that he is dark-complexioned and hence develops a strong inferiority complex.
In an attempt to get himself a girlfriend, he creates a fake profile in the social networking site Facebook, with somebody else's photo and an alluring job profile as suggested by a group of IT employees.
The plans works as he is able to woo a good looking girl, played by Sanyathara. But what happens when they finally meet in person? Also, there is another guy who is trying to hunt down Sanyathara. What does he want and what are the consequences of creating a fake profile in Facebook?
All these questions are answered in Jigina which turns out to be a bit preachy and melodramatic. Having said that, director Ravi Nanda Periyasamy's attempt to deliver a message in his film is noteworthy.
Performances:
Vijay Vasanth has delivered a decent performance however, his acting is far from what can be termed as a refined one. New comer Sanyathara's expressions were believable and also alluring at the same time.
When it comes to performances, comedians Singam Puli and Ashvin Raja of Kumki fame walk away with all the accolades.
Technicalities:
While the movie takes its time to settle down in the first half which entertains partially, the second half is aimed at making the film racy and the director has almost managed to achieve what he initially set out to do.
John Peter's BGM fails to support the film throughout. A couple of songs though have come out really well and achieves in making your foot tap. Cinematography is above average as it has contributed to the overall feel of the film.
Overall View:
With a good plot and a strong social message, Jigina is a watchable entertainer.
