From now on movies featuring T Rajendar, Captain etc would be reviewed by Boochandi. And these reviews would be called as ‘Boochandi Reviews’. He will start with Vijaya T Rajendar’s Veerasamy
-Prabhu

The title track goes like ‘Veerasamy veeratha kaami’. In the movie climax, Veerasamy shows his underwear and dances. Thats what the movie is all about! Not many people are talented like TR, to make movies without any story. You can find a story even in Megaserials, but never in Veerasamy. The best part of T Rajendar is how he focuses on the subtle things in life. This review will focus on such subtle things, which might miss the normal eye. If something good happens, then we tamilians exaggerate the same by saying ‘kaaNa kaN kodi veNdum(You need a crore eyes to witness it). This movie is also like that. To watch all industry heavy weights in action, you need a crore eyes so that everyone fits in the frame!

Lets start with the TR introduction scene. Three Rajendar’s keep walking towards you. And suddenly the Three Rajendars merge and become one fat T Rajendar. Now you know why T Rajendar is fat, dont you? In fact, T Rajendar resembles the suitcase of an Indian returning from abroad. Fully stuffed and protruding at all possible areas! For simplicity sake imagine the suitcase from the vertical point of view. If that is the case with T Rajendar, then what about Mumtaj? To put it figuratively, Mumtaj can appear for Container lorry advertisements. She is the imperfect fit.

Whats a T Rajendar movie without nursery rhymes. I distinctly remember one dialogue. He says ‘poNNu karupaa irukaaLa paakadhe da. poRuppa irukaaLa paaru’. TR sir. Padam paakaravan kaal la seruppu irukkaa paarunga sir. And later to the villain ‘Nee un vasanthasenai oda jolly a irukka podare viagra, vasanam solradhula naan manohara’. Appane Muruga. Indha padam paakaravangala kaapathu. vetriVel muruganukku arogara!

Surprise Surprise. T Rajendar has a sister. And they both are orphans. In small age, TR’s parents would have oppaduchified his sister, on his dhaadi err madi and gone upstairs. As usual, he becomes a successful person. His sister is an adakka odukamaana poNNu and doesn’t talk much. How will she? Even if she asks for ‘Gopuram poosu manjaL thooL T Rajendar will say ‘Thangachi. Chinna vayasula namma appa amma unna en madi la vittutu poi sendhutaanga ma. Naan evlo kashta pattu unnai padikka vachen. Aana nee maNjal kaekkare’ and so on. So that poor girl decided to keep her mouth shut for ever and not ask him anything. This is another subtle thing which you might miss otherwise. That is, why the girl is so silent!

In the first half of the movie, TR’s sister thamizh falls in love with one person. That person looks cute and is always clad in sleeveless tops. I was really surprised to find that TR is focusing on a girl-girl relationship in the movie. Revolutionary topic! But in one subtle master stroke, the director TR shows us that the person his sister is loving, is a guy and not a girl. How does he do that? Someone calls the guy ‘Thambi’. WOW. If not for that dialogue, no one can believe that it is a guy! And they sing a duet ‘Kappal paaru titanicku en kaadhal techinicku’ or something like that! And when her sister tells him, she is in love TR cries and sings something.

Finally, another important aspect of the movie is editing. You must have heard of seamless editing wherein the transition happens casually. Here TR has used something called as shameless editing. Half the time you just dont understand whats happening. TR keeps talking punch dialogues and suddenly talks senti dialogues and starts crying. Add to it, TR is a chandikeshwarar fan. Padam full aa sittigai poattunde irukaar baa. Ennathukudhaan puriyalai!

Now lets focus on the most important part of the movie. That is the romance between T Rajendar and Mumtaj. TR goes through a plethora of emotions every time Mumtaj is around. And he lets those emotions out by opening his mouth like a crocodile. Guess, :O is T Rajendars favorite smiley. Mumtaj uses revolutionary techniques She steals the soap, that T Rajendar uses for taking bath. From distance it looked like Rin soap.
Next, there is this song ‘Vennila’ where TR uses innovative dancing techniques. Now lets assume, you are making chapathi maavu. And at that particular instance, you get an itchy feeling near your waist. Now how will you scratch yourself? You will scracth yourself with your elbow right? Try doing it rhythmically for few times and you have a dance step. Yay!!! Similarly he teaches many dancing techniques in this song, like cleaning your leg when you step on something dirty and belly dancing as well. Phew! Mumtaj gives a new definition to ‘Vachikaradhu’. According to her ‘Vachukaradhu’ means manasula vachukaradhu.

To conclude, here is a guide book from TR’s book of acting

Sad Scene: Shrink your eyes, open your mouth in a full round. This can also be called as bottom-up approach. Backside of your head must touch the portion below the neck! And frequently, shake your head like boom boom maadu, with tears on the eyes.
Romance: Open your eyes wide, open your mouth in an oval shape. And go close to the heroine, and touch her tummy with your tummy. Poadhiya idaiveLi!
Fight scene: Shrink your eyes, and open your mouth in a semi circular position. And extend your lower lip. This is a top down approach.
Dance Scene: Open your mouth so that, the distance between upper and lower lip is 75 mm. Now, take your left hand and stretch your head towards the right. At that time, open your mouth in such a way the distance between the lips is 300 mm. Now come back to original position, and repeat same step with right hand.

P.S. TR is a lawyer in the movie, and he happens to be a MLA too!

Veerasamy = Vulgar aasamy
