Bommai Movie Review
If not for SJ Suryah, this would be a tedious watch on the whole. Below goes our Bommai Movie Review.
Radha Mohan’s films over the years have been packed with humour in some way or the other, but after such a long time, the director decides to take a break from his usual style and adopt a completely serious film in the form of Bommai. How does it work though?
Bommai is about a man with a disturbed past, and how his psychological problems lead him to falling in love with a mannequin. SJ Suryah plays a painter who lost his childhood love in the early stages, and finds solace when she magically appears as a mannequin. The film moves in the first half by introducing us to SJ Suryah’s character and explaining why this is happening to him, and then moves onto how he has to safeguard the mannequin and connect with it on a daily basis.
Bommai has a very old-fashioned narrative style to it, which makes it falter on many fronts. Every scene in the film has a predictable path, and that becomes its big minus moving forward.
SJ Suryah as Rajkumar is the sole saving grace of the film, and while this kind of a performance is an easy one for him, he gives it his all and does a phenomenal job.
On the other hand, Priya Bhavani Shankar feels like a misfit and does not get her part right. The film does not have much to say about the rest of the cast.
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music is on the lines of his father’s compositions, and the score works better than the songs.
On the whole, Bommai is an average psychological drama that is too familiar and reminds us of many other films. Bommai Movie Review by Only Kollywood
