Evano oruvan Review

Madhavan's first venture as a dialogue writer has made an impression in the viewer's mind without any doubt. Few and far between they may be, but it films such as Evano Oruvan that makes film lovers optimistic about the future of Tamil cinema amidst the regular masala movies. In this movie Madhavan plays a role of a middle-class man who rises against the wrongs of the society. This film is very different wothout much heroisms, skills and larger than life image for the hero. In his attire, demeanor and attitude Madhavan skilfully projects the turbulence of Vasudevan.
Sridhar Vasudevan(Madhavan) is a straightforward bank employee, who struggles to make ends meet. He is unable to control himself when he is attacked by hypocrisy, corruption and malpractice. Unwittingly, he turns into a one-man army. In a move to punish the wrong-doers he beats them with a bat and then upgrades himself to knife and gun. But he doesn't kill anyone.
Sangeetha puts up a natural show in synchronization with Madhavan. Her role as Vatsala is so genuine and admirable. Seeman also does his part well as a corrupt police officer.
Among the minor characters, the old couples at the hospital stands apart. Sanjay Jadev's camera matched the dialogue shot for shot.
Re-recording with its telling silences vouch for Sameer's composing skills. The superlative quality of the editing is a significant reason for movie's speed. Evan Oruvan is a feather in Madhavan's cap.
