Kuruvi is an endless torture!

What disappointed me all through while sitting through Kuruvi was the fact that the last time Vijay- Trisha- Dharani came together was for the immensely entertaining "Ghilli". In comparison "Kuruvi" is a study on what not to do in a movie. It has every cliche in it that one can think about- a hero who bashes up two dozen henchmen each of whom are three times his size, a dreamy eyed heroine who breaks into a duet everytime she sees the hero, the hero being projected as a messiah of the masses by his father as well as the entire population available on the frame, a blood thirsty villain who is as ruthless as it can get and a host of comic book characters who have nothing much to do but sing hosannahs to the hero!!!

Music has always been the strong point of Vijay movies but here Vidyasagar cheats big time! Every other department does a routine job and do not deserve a mention here. The performances are over the top, banal and cartoonish. Vivek's comedy track does not evoke any laughs. Trisha looks dull and Vijay's energy does nothing to save the film from being a complete disaster. Kuruvi puts one to sleep in spite of the fact that at least 30 minutes have been edited out by the theatre authorities.

Stay away guys! Gilli in its 25th run or Pokkiri in its 501st run would be infinitely entertaining as compared to this one!!!
