What starts off on a very bad note ends equally dreadfully in 'Sakkarakatti', one of the lamest movies ever made.
The story line is as hackneyed as ever. Boy meets girl 1. Girl 2 meets boy. Boy and Girl 1 fall in love. Girl 2 pines for boy. Girl 1 fights with boy. Girl 2 is still pining. Girl 1 and boy make up and become friends. Girl 2 never stops pining. Climax Scene: Girl 1 and boy hug. Girl 2 starts positively bawling. This weather beaten, time tested formula never seems to go out of fashion in the Tamil film industry.
The hero wears branded shirts, drives the latest bike, and talks in English with his mom and dad even when he is at home with no girls around to impress. He also has a fake accent that gets on your nerves after a while. Ok...this is a note to everybody who wants to sound cool in a put-on American accent. Never say ‘SHAAAIIYT’ when you just want to say ‘SHIT’. It sounds completely gross and totally un-American… ‘SHIT’ is just ‘SHIT’!!! Incidentally the hero says it to the heroine just before the interval and it pretty much sums up how the rest of the movie is gonna be.
Since when did colleges start allowing bikini clad lasses inside classes? The two heroines can only think of make up, designer dresses and the hero throughout the movie. They also speak Tamil like they have gum stuck on the inside of their mouths. Eye sores!!!
Songs are the only highlight of the movie. The ‘Taxi Taxi’ song deserves special mention. A.R Rehman has definitely delivered his best. Then again, the visualization is terrible. The beauty of the songs is lost in slip shod visual sequences. The amateurish animations, sloppy characters flying up and down and jazzed up graphics spoil the music.
The hero definitely has to learn to look more romantic. He gapes at the heroine. There is this particular scene where he gives the heroine a love-bite. This supposedly steamy scene (!) looks like he is about to gorge down a two-week supply of rations from a godown. You can actually count the number of teeth he has.
One lesson I learnt from the movie was, if you pass snide remarks at a guy trying to be nice to you, he will immediately fall in love with you. Further, if you point at things even remotely cuddly or furry and go ‘cho chweet’, all guys fall in love with you. (Hmm…well that explains why I have been single all this while).
So, please go watch this movie. If not for anything, it would definitely instill a fear within you next time you book tickets for a movie.

Producer of the movie seems to be your enemy :)
Great review :D I wonder if writing stories all the time kind of kills your creativity in coming up with new ideas for story lines. Is there only so much you can impress audiences with?
And have you been putting your lessons learnt, to any use [;)]
Somehow landed up in your blog.Good, i just finished my round of criticism on the movie and just then i landed here.But i suppose you didn't try Drona(well if you are into Hindi movies).Try that also, you will definitely end up abrogating your plans to go for any more movies.
Its a small lesson u learnt.. if u r going to theatre to watch a particular movie.. watch that movie only.. dont go for options..!! ;)
@ Zeba
It is the director's first movie.So i am guessing he dint spend his lifetime writing stories..:)
About the lessons learnt,there is nobody i know at the moment to try them on..;)
@my life is my lesson
Glad to know there are common thoughts..:)..read ur blog too..:)
@ Dhivya
Grr...dont get me started....:P
I agree with ur review. I think it is just so bloody fake. They r indians...how in the name of lord did they get such thick irking accent??? And their potrayal of the rich indians...it gets worse by the minute. The songs are catchy though.
100 % commercialised movie....
