I guess it is pretty late to write this review for 305 (gonna use 305 instead of the actual movie name) but never have i encountered a more worthy movie in recent times.....
'Brilliant' would be the best and shortest review, but a lot can be said.......
305, from its inception, has been a very awaited movie........for many reasons....firstly, Chimbudevan and Shankar re-united after the stupendous success of Imsai Arasan......secondly,Santhanam ,the rising youth comedian and Ganja Karruppu were selected as the lead characters.....finally,the veteran Prakash Raj was chosen to play the role of Kadavul!!!The sheer curiosity felt by people to see 'Chellam Muthupandey' in the role of the Almighty was considered to be a factor good enough to ensure this package's success......
But a big star cast and initial hype cannot ensure the box office success of any movie...i think Bheema is a good example for the side effects[:)]!!!
When the movie hit the screens,the first ten days enveloped 305 in a sea of mixed reviews......
B and C centres were probably expecting another slapstick laugh riot spoof........keeping that as an expectation, this movie failed heavily, and everyone thought it wont be a success......But then the creative genius within Chimbudevan stuck a chord amongst the hearts of the A centre audience and many people who didnt like the movie the first time decided to watch it again
and they found the movie to be quite enchanting.........
The story goes on like this.....Santhanam and Ganja are two miserable unemployed misfits who blame God for all their mishaps......God decides to come down in person and help them understand what is true happiness and who is responsible for their situation....What follows is an interesting tale of enchantment,divinity,deception,love,kindness and many other emotions.....
Santhanam has shed a few kilos and looks pretty decent (better than simbhu)...He has given a convincing performance......whether it is a serious scene or a comedy scene......ganja is hilarious as his sidekick..........Prakash Raj steals the show with his brilliant performance......The manner in which He displays God's love,power and divinity with such ease and subtlety is totally mind blowing.........
M.S.Bhaskar, Delhi Ganesh and Rajesh have played some brilliant cameos in the movie! The dialouges ,the art direction and the graphics are absolutely stunning......Shankar has ensured that 305 gets the best technical expertise available in the market....
The movie is not a laughter riot, but it gives a feast for thought........the concept of God is understood even by atheists.....The scene involving Prakash Raj and Rajesh where they discuss about the existence of God is truly memorable......
Vidyasagar's music is pretty good.......some of the songs are catchy and pleasant to hear!!!the 'Naangal thaan Kadavul' song's lyrics is pretty interesting......
The movie gets a very interesting turn at the interval!!!The ending is fabulous!!!
A non-commercial pure cinematic effort by Chimbudevan that has resulted in a wonderful movie.......For those who just want masala flicks,watch movies like KURUVI!!! But if your looking for meaningful cinema then 305 is the room u'll wanna be in cause Prakash Raj has given a whole new dimension to our version of the Almighty!!1
Three cheers!!
RATING: 9.3/10
