Cast : Karthi, Anushka, Milind Soman, Santhanam Is this supposed to be a spoof of a 70�s
Telugu movie or a real film? However, the
makers of Alex Pandian made no bones, no
pretenses about the fact that it is a crass
masala potboiler right from the beginning.
And that's all part of director Suraaj�s design. Alex Pandian had everything going for it, a
star pair, peppy music including �Bad Boys�
video, a superstar comedian and the best
promotions ever seen in Kollywood. However,
the film turns out to be a potpourri of
commercial mass masala not mixed in the right proportion. The film's hare-brained plot involves a petty
criminal Alex Pandian (Karthi) who abducts
the Chief Minister�s daughter (Anushka) for a
coterie of bad men consisting of an NRI
businessman (Milind Soman) who wants to
import some banned antibiotics from US, a rich doctor (Suman), a Godman ( Mahadevan),
the Chief Secretary (Pratap Pothen) and City
Police Commissioner! How our hero as a one-
man-army thwarts the operation is the story. So Suraaj with his half baked script has
packaged the film with a clich�d hero
introduction, crude comedy scenes, double
entendre, corny dialogues, mass songs,
caricature villains in black and white Sumos
chasing the hero who takes them single�handedly and finally a contrived
climax. To some extent, Devi Sri Prasad�s music is the
saving grace as they are peppy and comes as
big relief at regular intervals. Karthi is clear that he wants to be a mass hero
and succeeds in doing so. Anushka is a big
letdown as she not only looks bad but
sleepwalks in an insipid role. Santhanam is
tiring and repeats the comedy scenes and
what was Mano Bala doing in the film? On the whole, an old-fashioned entertainer
that plays to the gallery, Alex Pandian is
exaggerated and formulaic. Verdict: Test of patience
