Kollywood actor Sivakarthikeyan’s Prince has been creating a good buzz for many days. The bilingual film finally hit the screens today. Let’s check how the movie is.
Story
Anand (Sivakarthikeyan), a school teacher, falls in love with his colleague Jessica (Maria Ryaboshapka), a British girl at first sight. But, his father Vishwanath (Sathyaraj) opposes their love because of a strong reason and the villagers decide to ostracise Anand from the village. Why Vishwanath didn’t accept his son’s love? Why the entire village wanted Anand to leave the place? What happened next? This forms the story.
Plus Points
This is the immediate film of Sivakarthikeyan after scoring two back-to-back hits – Doctor and Don. Known for his comedy, Sivakarthikeyan suits the character very well and as expected he impresses audiences with his finest performance throughout the film.
Ukraine beauty Maria Ryaboshapka looks beautiful and she justifies her character. Though the beauty has nothing much to perform, she gives her best.
Sathyaraj as Vishwanath steals the entire show. His comedy timing and innocence worked out very well and he is a big relief. The remaining actors like Premgi and Anandraj are okay.
Minus Points
In general, people have huge expectations for the next film of a director who scores a massive hit like Jathi Ratnalu. Director Anudeep KV believes in the same old formula – comedy. He tried to repeat the magic in Prince but somehow he failed to recreate it.
The comedy and witty one-liners are good to enjoy, at times and some scenes failed to evoke laughter. Besides, Anudeep comes up with a weak storyline.
To note, Jathi Ratnalu was enjoyed by many because of the perfect cast and the situations at the release time. Having Sivakarthikeyan as the protagonist, Anudeep should have written a strong story with neat comedy. But, Anudeep fails to amuse with his third venture, Prince.
Technical Aspects
Anudeep succeeded in making the film look rich and neat but failed as a writer. Some comedy dialogues, especially those written for Sathyaraj are okay to smile at. Music by Thaman, cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa and the production values are neat. Editing is also fine.
Verdict
On the whole, Prince is a passable comedy film. Sivakarthikeyan delivers his best but the film lacks the punch because of its weak storyline. Sathyaraj’s performance stands out in the film. A few comedy scenes are enjoyable, especially in the first half and the climax. You can give it a watch this weekend if you are okay with illogical comedy punches.
