I'd go ahead with a star and a half for this downer of a film that poured water over my enthusiasm at New Year. These guys are unlikely to stay around for more than a week; in fact if my instincts are right, they should already be on their way out of the theatres
My first outing at the movies this year has taken off with on a real shaky note. 'Village Guys' directed by Shan is a film that does not by any scale look like a fine start, and is a sloppy attempt at film making that could be disregarded without much of a thought.
The film tells the story of four young men, Achayan, Sudhi, Anwar and Yadhu, who have been at the villagers' backs for a while now, with their bothersome antics. When Sudhi returns to the village with a girl in tow trouble starts brewing in their paradise, and the four friends are forced to take a few firm decisions on their own
There is not much of a story for the 'Village Guys' to tell, hence its efforts to make up for this very palpable liability shows pretty bad. What do you do when you aren't sure as to what you want to tell and even worse, how you want to tell it?!
The film deserves a total thumbs down for the frivolous script and the technicalities are surprisingly quite mediocre as well. If you find a moment in it that would make you want to break into an applause, consider yourself lucky, but it's very unlikely that you will find such an instant.
