Snehitaye (Tamil) (Action Movie ,)  Starring |
Review
Leaving theater after watching Snehitaye, one wonders if the dearth of good script was ever felt more acutely than present
times in Indian cinema. Nothing, not even its technical finesse or enthralling cinematography or energetic performance by actresses
makes Snehitaye an interesting movie. To say it bluntly, it is boring.
Snehitaye is the story of two bubbling college girls’, played by Jyothika and Sharbani Mukherjee, vulnerability and (mis)adventure.
To escape Sharbani from a possible marriage trap, the lasses cook up a story of Sharbani’s non-existing boyfriend in the USA. But the
trick boomerang on them. A person similar to the description of their non-existing boyfriend appears in their life and gets killed in
their hostel room. Then a no-nonsense, forthright police officer (Tabu) descends on the scene. The story then takes numerous turns
before it becomes clear that the murderer is none else than the forthright police officer.
Based on a Marathi hit Bindhasst, Snehitaye has in it every ingredient necessary for a super hit film. Good, crisp
story, picturesque locations, melodious music and fine acting performances. But a flawed script kills the interest. Director
Priyadarshan in his urge to sustain the suspense till the end, loses his control over the script and goes wayward. It can’t be unknown
to him that to make suspense-thriller a hit movie, the most important factor is its script. Even though Priyadarshan is not a Manoj
Night Shyamalan, he has promised much in the past. In Snehitaye, he doesn’t live up to the expectations.
Nevertheless, there are flashes of Priyadarshan’s directorial skills. After directing Bollywood movies and in all that advertisements,
he has sharpened his skills. The Priyadarshan touch is all too perceivable in dance numbers, particular camera angles focussing on
Jyothika and Sharbani Mukherjee.
Snehitaye’s cast is all women. However, that doesn’t make the spectators to sit through the movie. As a matter of fact, the
cast could have been all men too. It actually doesn’t make any difference, unless Priyadarshan wants us to believe the vulnerability
of women in his movie
