Sakalakalavallavan Appatakkar (U): Book Your Tickets Right Away!
Sakalakala Vallavan Appatakkar Plot :
Anjali and Jayam Ravi are in love with each other and decide to get married. When everything is all set for their wedding, in a cinematic twist, Jayam Ravi is forced to marry Trisha.
Thanks to their differences, their marriage never fructifies and they often end up quarrelling with each other. Realizing that their marriage is leading them nowhere, they decide to file a divorce.
The film then leads us to a mindless melodrama where Anjali and Trisha are made to represent two different parties, belonging to Soori and Jayam Ravi respectively, at a local election.
What is the outcome of this election? Will Jayam Ravi and Trisha find a way to make their marriage work or will Jayam Ravi revive his lost love with Anjali? These questions are answered in the latter part of the film.
Performances:
The only bright performance comes from Jayam Ravi as he shines throughout. While Anjali has been made to flaunt her skin excessively, Soori 's character is aimed at delivering double meaning dialogues.
Supporting actors have done what is required, but if the stage is not strong enough for an artist to showcase his or her skills, the performance will often go unnoticed which is the case in Sakalakala Vallavan.
Technicalities:
The story takes its own time to settle in the first half which is filled with some laughable comedy sequences. But the second half tests your patience completely, for the plot heads to a brainless finish.
Cinematographer U.K. Senthil Kumar makes the entire film colorful with bold choice of colors. His angles though offers nothing new and are pretty straight forward.
Editor R.K. Selva could've shortened the film's second half and Background score by Thaman gets too loud in many places.
Overall View:
Sakalakala Vallavan Appatakkar has nothing new to offer as it is filled with clichéd comedy tracks and double meaning dialogues. Overall, the movie is an attempt to deliver a fresh romcom which turns out to be quite outdated.
