'Ghatikudu' is directed by K.S.Ravikumar, and he has come up with a formula storyline and
though the presentation was good, the narrative lacked depth.
Story:
A typical formula treat, the story begins in Kolkata and here is Ashok (Suriya), a professional
killer. He grows up with Ibrahim (sayaji shinde) and now he gets an assignment from Dr Abul
(rahul dev). The target is a judge (bharat gopi) who is heading an enquiry commission and is
all set to nail the bad people. However, Ashok misses the one chance he gets. He decides to
take it personally and disguises himself as the relative of the judge's home servant Banerjee
(vadivelu). He changes his name to Govinda and here he also meets Tara (Nayantara). From
then on, he begins to make plans to kill the judge but then there is a deeper secret and reason
why Ashok is there. What is that reason? Why is he there? all this forms the rest of the story.
Performance:
Suriya came up with an energetic and versatile performance, his act as a 12 year old is a
highlight, Nayantara needs to change her make up, hair style and remove her nose stud at any
cost. She looks terrible and drained out. Bharat Gopi was elegant, Rahul Dev was not strong,
Sayaji Shinde was not used properly, Vadivelu was a real show stealer and he gave a lot of
humor, B Saroja Devi was energetic and did her bit well, the others contributed as required.
Music:
'Ghatikudu' music is scored by Harris Jayaraj. And background score was disturbing and
unwanted at many places. Three songs are good.
Verdict: Good |  |
