Unnaipol Oruvan (Tamil)
Director:
Chakri Toleti
Starring: Kamal Haasan , Mohanlal , Lakshmi , Anuja Iyer , Ganesh Venkataraman and Bharath Reddy
OyeG Review
Loyal to the original script 'A Wednesday', 'Unnai Pol Oruvan' has done justice to the remake. With Kamal Hassan and Mohanlal carrying off the film with ease, the film is a delight with great performances in display.
A common man's (Kamal hassan) take on terrorism and his outbursts depicted in the film is something audience can easily identify with. Mohanlal plays the Police Commissioner who tries to thwart impending danger to the city and damage control, all happens in the course of a day.
Direction 
Chakri Toleti does not disappoint. For a narrative where the subject is crucial, he has done a great job. By making the narrative audience-friendly with the screenplay and dialogues fitting the nativity, he has shown the maturity of handling a serious story. Camera by Manoj Soni is classy, needed for a subject of this genre. Shruti Hassan’s, as a debut composer, has taken on the challenge to be present without overbearing and showcases her talent.
Script/Story
Kamal Hassan plays a common man challenging the establishment and a police commissioner to release four terrorist who are in police custody. With bombs planted at busy junctions and trains, the Police Commissioner has to deliver the terrorists at a spot to avert any bomb blast. It is a story that changes the life and destiny of many, all happening in a day.
Performances
With stellar and underplaying performances by the leading cast, it is a new treat for Tamil audience. Lakshmi portrays the chief secretary who has to play safe in a tricky situation, handles it well with her inimitable style. Ganesh Venkatraman and Bharath Reddy, the young cops standout in their characterisation. They have a long way to go, but they deliver neat roles.
OyeG Verdict
The narrative is slow-paced at times but does not hamper the tempo and the mood. Anguish of a common man who can take things to task is shown without much heroic act and is the success of this hard-hitting film. Recommended for lovers of great performances and sensible cinema!
