Perarasu
has kept his reputation of rendering successful commercial masala
entertainers intact with Thirupathy with Ajith dazzling at his best.
It’s re-energised and a fiery Ajith who takes the whole burden on his
shoulders and delivers a consummate performance. A simple theme
stretched in a riveting manner thanks to a racy screenplay.
Ajith in the company of Perarasu and music composer Bharadwaj seems to revel in an author-backed mass role.
In a nutshell, the movie is about why should the
State government usher free pregnancy treatment to prevent several
women being made to undergo operation (caessarian) during pregnancy by
greedy doctors out to make a fast buck.
Perarasu in order to deliver this message has woven
an interesting screenplay and set a sequence of events which would be
certainly loved by Ajith’s fans. Ajith has loads of punch dialogues
glorifying his stature and stunts sequences where he bashes all around.
The movie begins with Thirupathy (Ajith), running a
sound service, ready to take on any evil that he comes across in his
day-to-day life. He happens to meet a beautician Priya (Sadha). A
sequence of hilarious encounters between them results in love
blossoming between them.
Meanwhile Thirupathy’s friend Muthu (Riaz Khan), son
of a State Minister, for whom Thirupathy is ready to go to any extent
and sacrifice anything in life, turns his foe when Thirupathy tries to
bump off a doctor whose callousness results in Thirupathy’s sister’s
(Dheepu) death during pregnancy.
Muthu prevents Thirupathy from bumping off the
doctor and threatens to kill Thirupathy himself for the doctor is none
other than Muthu’s brother himself.
Coming to know that he has been betrayed by his own
friend, Thirupathy resolves to put an end to both. He manages to kidnap
Muthu and efforts to trace Thirupathy and Muthu fail.
Meanwhile, he manages to use Muthu as his bait to
get the State government enact a law on providing free treatment for
pregnant women in all the hospitals in the State. All’s well finally
ends well.

It is escapist fare, alright. But in a mass movie it works.
Ajith looks more comfortable on the screen in
Thirupathy unlike his recent movies and looks at ease in stunt and
dance sequences too. Interestingly the comedy that he has tried out
too has also come good. In terms of looks, Ajith, who came across as
being wan in Paramasivan, looks dashing debonair here.
Sadha, who plays his lady love, has a simple role. She looks ravishing in songs.
Riyaz Khan is the surprise packet of the movie. A
typical villain, enacting the role of a friend turning the foe, has
been portrayed well by Riyaz. The movie has a huge star cast including
Pyramid Natarajan, Manobala, Arun Pandian (playing the cop on the trail
of Ajith), Manobala and R Sunderarajan.
Playing sidekicks M S Baskar, Kanja Karuppu and Satyan manage to leave an impression.
Bharadwaj’s foot-tapping tunes are a welcome delight
for Ajith’s fans and the front-benchers. Specially Keerai Vidhaipom
featuring Ajith and Laila is a mass song sure to top audio-charts. His
fast background adds to the momentum of the movie.
Among other contributions, which deserve a special mention are Thalapathy Dinesh’s stunts and cinematography by S Saravanan.
Perarasu, who has penned the story, screenplay,
dialogues and lyrics besides wielding the megaphone has enacted the
role of an auto-driver and also features in a stunt sequence.
Perarusu has no pretensions. He knows his
constituency. He has a formula. And he has not bothered to tamper with
it. Why fix it when it is not broken yet!
Produced by the famed AVM Productions in their
diamond jubilee year, Thirupathy is sure to make it big among the movie
lovers for it runs at high speed.
