Poda Podi - Movie Review

Cast: Silambarasan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, VTV Ganesh, ShobhanaDirection: Vignesh ShivaGenre: Romance
Synopsis: The biggest dream of dancer Nisha (Varu Sarathkumar) is to win a dance reality show. When she meet animations artist Arjun (Silambarasan), their priorities in life clash.
Movie Review: Director-writer Vignesh Shiva's urban romantic comedy may have been long in the making but is perfect foil for the season's biggy 'Thuppakki'. 'Podaa Podi' is a light tale about the love-hate relationship between Nisha and Arjun. Aptly set in London, debutant Vignesh gives us a broad picture about the clashes between a highly conservative Tamil man and a broad-minded NRI woman. The movie is well acted and shot, and even though the screenplay is wafer-thin, it keeps the audience going as the laughs keep coming.
New face Varalaxmi Sarathkumar comes out with a decent performance as the chirpy and chatty Nisha, and proves her flexibility as a dancer. Silambarasan comes out well as usual and shows off his prowess as a 'kuthu dancer' (as a chapter in the movie is titled). He also gets his share of thrills, but goes overboard by making fun or taking lines or enacting characters out of his earlier movies.
Ganesh, a staple in all Silambarasan movies since 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa', evokes laughter as Arjun's uncle. He mumbles more English than he actually speaks, but this is exactly what make him hilarious. Shobana, though, has little to do as Nisha's guardian.
