This movie is a big question mark IMO. Its always risky when comedies try to become hero. Yuvarajs previous venture with Vadivelu turned out to be an average movie. Tbh its not a good sign in industry when comedians decide to do hero movies only. Karunas burned his hands big time and must be in debt. Santhanam is not that good either KLTA (kanna laddu thinna aasaiya?) was a hit, VPA (vallavanukku pullum aayudham) was poor. II (Inimey Ippithaan) might get a decent opening but im sure next releases will end the run for II soon. We are yet to see the comeback movie of Goundamani. He has earned cult status among the audience and most people are waiting to watch him in silver screen again. 49 O when?

The only reason I am looking forward to see this movie is Vidyasagar. He has been out of K-town too long. His last movie Thalaivan bombed big time. I hope for the opposite for his sake.

Eli - cheesy

Pardon my dissapointed outburst. I have much interest in Vadivelus career coming back to track. But he ended up doing movies with wrong directos. Eli movie is very dissapointing movie. I have added it on worst movies of 2015 list. The movie has many vadivelu trademarks: funny body language, pronounciation of english words, acting skills, yet the silly story has ruined the movie. The man to be blamed for it is director Yuvaraj. Sadha is very beautiful, she has very few scenes. This is not her best movie. But you need money for living, sometimes u have to choose to act in movies because of your circumstances. Opportunities dont come knocking on your door.

Vidyasagar bgm was ok. Songs not up to mark. I dont know why Vidyasagar is having rough time in Kollywood. IMO he has given his better songs in tamil than malayalam or telugu.

When vadivelu was at his best, he wahs doing movies with prabhudeva, sundar c, vijay, vijaykanth etc. Now he is trying to come out of the well he fell in with his political outburst, on which he lost, his market, to be a target of shame, and losing his fame. But he is still a part of many households, who folds their hands and claps, not for the wasps, but for the comedy he has proved year by year, to the ear, no comedian is near when vaigai puyal is here.

I still hope to see Vadivelu in many more movies in future as and makes your laugh, I/we need the laugh, to forget the stressful days and problems.

Sema Mokkai Padam !!!

One feels for actress like "Sadha" ending up roles like this ...

only thing I liked was "mere sapno ki rani ", sadha looked gorgeous , It was a treat to hear legendary Kishore kumar song in cinema ! I just couldn't stop singing along with it ... what a song!

Eli-The Movie, is a Black Comedy. Its no where near to alternative comedy, where humour lingers in the air throughout its runtime. The Black Comedy takes its time, like lengthy scenes closing it with a laughter. But whether it works depends on how much an individual is influenced by the film. As such comedies are rare in TFI (Settai & Dammal Dumeel comes to my mind), Eli is more on the lines of Austin Powers, precisely Gold Member. Set in 60's and on the lines of 'Even a rat may drown a nation', Eli, played by Vadivelu, inflitrates the cigarettes smuggling gang and becomes one of its highest operative by gaining the confidence of its leader Nagaraj. When his cover is blown, he has less time to hold all the broken pieces together until the Police arrives.

Vedivelu is Jolly Eli. He brightens his pressence with his trade-mark slapstick comedy. There is an awesome fight sequence where he enacts the actions of eli, the rat. His facial 'muscle-movements' during close-up shots are excellent. The theme as well as the BGM for Eli by Vidyasagar is matching. From time to time Eli adjusts his mustache, a minuture version of 23rd Pulikesi, which is funny. Then we have Jolly, hitchhiking a 'terrorist-biker' being chased by gunning Police men, Jolly steals fallen grapes while hiding under the bed, disguises himself to catch the culprits - Jolly is what Eli is not - like the climax fight with a rope tied to his forehead.

The variety of comedy is at large. Apart from Vadivelu's hallmark humour, there is dialogue comedy too, an excellent one while Eli tries to rob the bank, slow but effective. Then, there is 'Ek Sapno Ki Rani' song & various dictionary jaw-droping English usage. Thotta Dharani's sets were good, notably the warehouse, hotel room, bar & Natraj's den. There is a Piano Bit which is really good - a bit like Rananvan-The Musician. The costumes are dazzling and kind of suits the ambience.

Rather than being less interesting, the major drawback is that they should have shot the film in 35 mm rather than digital. Digital kills films of such genre. The clarity takes away the vintage look that can be boosted through 35mm. Over neatness & digital intermediate (DI) fatigues the viewership. Choosing a medium for the subject is as important as any other technique ... just saying.

I would certainly recomend this movie to people who wish to show their kids a clean film with lots of imagination. The comical aspect and every character being cartoonish - the side kicks with big belly & violet t-shirt for ex., - would make them thouroughly enjoy the movie. And myself, I will be patient for Eli In Bombay.

Eli - Rat Race

mappi,

Are you serious ? :shock:

[Russellvzp]

outdated, tries too hard to be funny, and a guaranteed flop.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

People go to watch "these" type of movies to forget the daily stress of life, but the movie was highly "depressing" !

[hattori_hanzo]

Padam OKva gaaliya? Tenali Raman had a few good scenes at least. Idhula adhuvum theradhu pola. A good opportunity wasted by Yuvaraj Dayalan.
