Salim Review

Cast: Vijay Antony, Aksha Pardasany, RNR Manohar, SwaminathanDirection: NV Nirmal KumarGenre: ThrillerDuration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Synopsis: Salim, a model doctor and a do-gooder, breaks down when he loses his job and rejected by his fiance. He turns into a vigilante to teach the powerful a lesson...
Movie Review: You have to give it to Vijay Antony. He is definitely not an expressive actor (all he has is one stoic expression) but with Naan earlier and now Salim, he has managed to find roles where impassiveness is a trait of the character. In this film, he is a doctor by profession and a do-gooder at large (a fact which is established needlessly through innumerable scenes where he helps the needy in his profession and even outside of it). He gets engaged to Nisha, who, with her volatile personality, finds it hard to comprehend his Zen-like nature. Things get to a point when Salim's service-mindedness at work and non-confrontational nature when he's with Nisha end up in him losing his job and the girl. Having reached his breaking point, Salim has a Falling Down/Evano Oruvan-like meltdown, following which he turns into a vigilante. But has he gone so far that there is no return?
The first half of Salim nicely sets up what's in store. The events leading up to Salim's breakdown are very relatable.
