Aindhu Aindhu Aindhu (555) Movie review

Aindhu Aindhu Aindhu (555),
Is an action and suspense elements to
weave a romantic tale. The film’s long in the
making does not in any way come in the
manner it appeals to the audience.
The all pervading emotion of love, when it
strikes people, can make them traverse to
any length beyond imagination and
comprehension. What it does to the
protagonist and the antagonist at different
levels is all about 555.
Sasi is a master teller when it comes to
narrate a story about love and its finer
aspects and there would always be a kind of
poignancy in them. 555 is no exception. In
Arvind Sureshkumar’s story, Sasi has also
used a lot of action and suspense to drive
home his point. There are adequate twists
and turns in the narration to make the
audience engrossed in the enterprise.
The mood of the film is set in the opening
accident scene right away, shot terrifically by
Saravanan Abhimanyu. Sasi spreads his cards
on the table one by one, bringing in the
characters, their conflicts and resolving them
one by one, untangling the knots while on the
way to the climax.
The romantic scenes are quite endearingly
done and hence the rooting for the lead pair
happens quite naturally. The suspense about
Bharath, Mrithika and the other characters
are presented effectively.
Bharath, the biggest strong point of the
movie, has given his 200%. He dances like a
dream and emotes well as a confused lover
in search of an answer. His hard work is
palpable in every frame and his sculpted
body with an eight pack is sure to win him a
lot of fans.
Out of the two heroines, Mrithika has a
meaty role and the newcomer’s good looks
and natural performance get added on to the
plus list of the film. The scene when she
asks Bharath to foretell about her future
husband with a lot of unfeigned innocence is
a simple testimony to the actress’s
capabilities. Erica Fernandez looks good and
delivers the small role that she has been
assigned with ease.
Cinema is all about collective work and the
entire team of 555 has worked in line with
the vision of the director. Under Simon’s
music, while Mudhal Mazhai is a breezy
lingering number, Vizhiyilae deserves
applause for the way it is choreographed and
executed. Simon does a neat job with BGM
too. The Ezhavu number although differently
executed, places a question about its
presence.
Saravanan Abhimanyu maneuvers with lights
and colors to bring the apt mood of the
scene and scores best in songs and action
shots. The graphic sequences, be it the
opening car crash or a much simpler scene
like when the two Bharaths are brought
together in the sub-way, are nicely done.
Since 555 is not a humor centric film, there
is not much scope for lighter moments. Even
then Santhanam tries to lighten up the mood
with his ‘Genelia’ and ‘Anjali Paappa’
dialogues. For the comedian, it is a different
role in 555 and he delivers as usual.
On the flipside, wrong placement of the
songs impedes the progress of 555, the
perfect example being ‘the rowdy girl’
number. The stereotyped cinematic villain
from the north, speaking Tamil in a strange
accent continues in 555 which takes away the
sheen from the proceedings.
Toting it up, Aindhu Aindhu Aindhu although
coming much late, is a neatly done suspense-
action drama woven on a romantic base.
Verdict: Brilliant Bharath makes 555 a
good enough watch.
