Story:
Pattathu Yaanai opens up with Gauravam [Santhanam], a caterer suffering from loss. Saravanan [Vishal] along with his friends shifts to Trichy to help Santhanam in his catering business. Meanwhile, Saravanan suffers hurdles with Police and local goon in Trichy, this leads to lock horns with city don. Aishwariya [Aishwariya Arjun] makes her presence meanwhile for few love scenes.
What was the reason behind Vishal’s whip with Poilce and local goons? How will Vishal manage to pull himself out of issues with city don? forms the crux of Pattathu Yaanai…
Performances:
Vishal’s performance is good. As Saravanan, he managed well to handle the situations, but couldn't match up to his Thimiru fame.
Aishwarya Arjun has just been a walking doll, proving Pattathu Yaanai to be her debut and the actress has to improve her performance, especially dance.
Santhanam has done his parts well and has handled the situations with his comic timing. Santhanam takes the pride in highly supporting Pattathu Yaanai with his comedy, specially in the second half.
Jegan and John Vijay have supported the movie with their comedy acts. John Vijay tried to portray himself as a comic villain.
Technical Analysis:
Pattathu Yaanai is just one more regular commercial action-comedy entertainer from Boopathy Pandian, seemingly a half-baked cake.
Nothing new in Thaman’s music, and the back ground music by Sabesh Murali is also average.
Fight master Anal Arasu’s choreography is laudable. But there are only 3 fights in Pattathu Yaanai, which failed to portray Vishal as an action hero.
Analysis:
Director Boopathy Pandian is back with Pattathu Yaanai that seems to be a commercial entertainer missing to show off some of the essentials. In the first half of the movie, director has just plotted the roles; while second half leads to serious fights and climax with comedy tracks.
With the not so gripping technical aspects, Pattathu Yaanai is out with average performances yet good comedy and timing by Santhanam. The film starts and ends with Santhanam which is the only thing that helps in favor of Pattathu Yaanai.
