forget the kollywood heartthrob from the 90s, aravind swamy can soon become the industry’s favourite anti - hero. with sathuranga vettai 2, the handsome actor is back playing the suave, intelligent, bad guy – inching his way to become the villain kollywood needs .
the shoot of sathuranga vettai 2, being directed by nirmal kumar of salim fame, is wrapped up, and post - production is proceeding at a brisk pace. major portions of this sequel, starring arvind swamy and trisha, have been shot in malaysia .

the teaser of the sequel to the 2014 sleeper hit, was launched by actor sivakarthikeyan on twitter. sathuranga vettai 2 also stars trisha and prakash raj and is directed by nirmal kumar. the movie is written by h. vinodh and is bankrolled by manobala’s production house .
in an early scene in h. vinoth’s sathuranga vettai, gandhi babu (natraj, who’s quite good) sells a businessman a snake. what he’s really selling, though, is snake oil. he’s a conman, and the film — inspired by true events, we’re told at the beginning — is a series of cons .
actor - director manobala’s maiden production venture ‘sathuranga vettai’ directed by vinod and starring natty natraj and ishaara nair went on to become a sleeper hit in 2014 and ever since that, a sequel has been in the works with suriya or ajith penciled in to star as the protagonist. things however did not work out with the two mass heroes .
debutant vinod definitely knows a thing or two about building tension among his audience, and his film sathuranga vettai is the evidence to this. the filmmaker builds in drama and suspense by highlighting the story of a con - man, and how he aides a group of goons commit a heist. early on in the film, you ...

the comedy heist film has been directed by debutant h. vinoth. the film has ishara nair, ponvannan and ilavarasu among others .
sathuranga vettai
is produced by manobala and sanjay rawal, and the film is distributed by thirrupathi brothers, who are riding high on hat - trick hits post the success of
golisoda
and
manjapai .
the shoot of sathuranga vettai 2 that has a unique combination of arvind swamy and trisha in the leads is set to start on november 14 which happens to be children’s day. the film directed by nirmal kumar has screenplay and dialogues by h. vinoth who directed the first part. the recent photoshoot pictures stormed social media and has created a buzz for the film .
the witty and impressive dialogues in the film are one of the major highlights of
sathuranga vettai .
the film' s biggest strength is its dialogues, each and every dialogue are intelligent, witty and sometimes extra - ordinary. after manivannan' s amaidhipadai, the satire dialogue writing comes naturally to vinoth, brilliant show young man !
said rajasekar s. of cinemalead .
talking to silverscreen, nirmal kumar, says, “this sequel to sathuranga vettai will be about hi - tech swindling done using advanced technology. arvind swamy plays a con man and trisha a con girl. they will be seen in multiple looks through the film; in some places, it might appear like they’ve done dual roles. as this film is a different genre for both of them, they were kicked about their characters. ”
director vinoth of sathuranga vettai fame received accolades from critics, filmbuffs and celebrities for his directorial debut which was an entertaining con comedy. later, he narrated a script to suriya and got his nod for the project too. but suriya moved on to vikram kumar’s 24 and now he will start singham 3 with director hari from the 2nd of december. visit our infotainment partner: urltoken subscribe for more videos: urltoken like us: urltoken
the reason newcomer vinoth' s
sathuranga vettai
is an almost flawless film in the genre is because it succeeds in managing to con the audiences as well, more than once. revolving around six episodes based on true incidents, the film reminds us of the times we' ve got conned in real life. it' s not a film about people who con but one about those who get conned, why they get conned and how they get conned .

critics have applauded director vinoth' s interesting screenplay and the way he has presented the film .
with terrific screenplay, racy narration and out - of - the - box presentation, new boy h. vinoth' s sathuranga vettai is a surprisingly fresh film that works big time. right from scene - one when we are shown on a wild life channel a cheetah hunting an ostrich in a cunning manner, we know that this is not your usual commercial potboiler ,
said sify .
sathuranga vettai part 2 is very different in terms of its structure. he (the lead character) is a conman. it is (a story of) one big heist it has been written by the same director (h. vinoth) and directed by nirmal kumar (of' salim' fame). its got lost of twists and turns. the audience are in for a lot of surprises. its 60 - 70% over. the film probably will release in may .
the film is good but lacks consistency, especially in the second half. there are moments that are extremely brilliant as well as dumb. since it is promoted as an indianised con film, it is forced to take the path of commercial cinema. if it had stayed loyal to its genre, unarguably, it would' ve been a cult film, next to
soodhu kavvum
. the romance in
sathuranga vettai
is cliched and extremely melodramatic, which makes the story seem very predictable .
actor niranjan shetty is back with a new film after' paipoti'. this time the actor will be seen in the remake of tamil hit' sathuranga vettai'. the kannada version is titled as' jagath khiladi' and will be launched in the month end.' jagath khiladi' is being directed by dheerendra and sadhithan and is being produced by ramesh babu. rangayana raghu will be playing a prominent role along with niranjan in this film. the film has camera work by cinetech soori and music by giridhar diwan .
natarajan subramaniam (natty) who earned accolades for his performance in sathuranga vettai has apparently adorned a new cap. already being an actor - cinematographer, natty has also crooned for a track in his upcoming venture engitta modhadhae (em). reports suggest that natty adorns the role of a rajinikanth fan in em and that the entire film is set in the backdrop of 80s. it is also rumored that the venture will be shot in and around tirunelveli and primarily focus on the battle of fanaticism between superstar rajinikanth and kamal haasan’s fans. more details awaited !
sathuranga vettai isn’t without the story of a grisly past though. of a brutal childhood in the slums, and of being orphaned at a tender age. a grim justification follows. and that irks. why can’t gandhi babu have a full wallet and still do what he does? then, there’s also bhanu (ishara nair); she’s extremely naïve (sometimes exasperatingly so); falls in love with gandhi babu, and tries to turns him around for the better. she’s the pivot in the second half, and, it’s nedunchalai all over again – but for the ‘sophisticated’ con .
what surprised us most about sathuranga vettai was that this was a debut - flick with an inexperienced & not - so - attractive protagonist mouthing dialogues, profound in meaning, rooted deeply in philosophy, and moreover, the captain of the ship, vinoth, is just in his 30s. his faith in his script has allowed him to pitch it first to manobala, a veteran of the tamil industry, who was convinced that this should the launch pad for his production house, and then to thirupathi brothers who possess an enviable track record in film distribution. the cult following of such films certainly proves that the tamil audience is indeed one of the best in indian cinema in welcoming offbeat ventures .
the crispness, the crackle is lost when you filter certain hollywood genres through tamil - film sensibilities. sathuranga vettai is filled with talk. there are some funny, clever lines, like the one that goes “ kuttra unarchi illaama pannradhu edhuvume thappu illai. ” (“if you don’t feel guilty while doing something, then it isn’t wrong. ”) but a lot of the time, the characters seem to be speaking to us, the audience — they keep feeding us existentialist punch lines. then there’s all the sentiment. changes of heart occur too conveniently and by the time we see a character turn into a labourer, it’s downright laughable. we need to be eased into these developments, not pushed into them .
heist / caper movies as in films which showcase in detail one or more crimes (especially thefts, swindles, or occasionally kidnappings) perpetrated by the main character / s with less focus on the actions of police or detectives attempting to prevent or solve the crimes are a rarity in indian cinema. sometimes even when they do appear, they pale out in comparison to ‘commercial’ movies because of some uninspired juvenile treatment or in other cases, lack of a tight script. last year we saw nalan kumarasamy literally nailing the genre with ‘soodhu kavvum’ attaining cult status. now debutante director h. vinoth comes out with his version of the chess game - hunt or sathuranga vettai, which proves to be the dark house of this year .
and gandhi babu (natarajan subramaian) is an irresistible reminder of frank abagnale jr. no, not leonardo dicaprio. the one in the book. and also, perhaps by extension, the real frank abagnale himself. remember the instance when he pilots a passenger jet without a clue about its controls? sathuranga vettai is filled with moments like those. so much so that even the judge who listens to gandhi babu’s crimes can’t help chuckling himself. there’s also a carl hanratty - like cop who comes with a friendly warning. [ quote align = ’right’ ] gandhi babu sells a snake to him for an exorbitant amount of money, convinces him that the reptile (codenamed ilayathalapathi vijay) can understand several languages, and that its flesh is highly - valued for its libido - boosting properties. [ / quote ]
in an early scene in h vinoth’s sathuranga vettai, gandhi babu (natraj, who’s quite good) sells a businessman a snake. what he’s really selling, though, is snake oil. he’s a conman, and the film – inspired by true events, we’re told at the beginning – is a series of cons. vinoth employs a series of tricks to amp up his narrative, to make us feel we’re watching a really cool movie. he breaks the film into chapters and slaps a tongue - in - cheek title on each one. he uses animation to narrate a flashback. there’s a goon who, when he feels like it, speaks in pure tamil. there’s a cobra that’s christened “ilaya thalapathy” vijay. and there’s a lot of jittery editing, always in a rush to drag us to the next scene. what we don’t get is the pleasure of being conned .
keeping the creative mind open is important, to come up with simple yet powerful output. this video proves it. sathuraga vettai production team gave us the task to come up with an animation story line to be used as an insertion in the flashback footage. it is a 5 min long footage, that has characters playing against the backdrop of 1980’s. in the silver screen, our novel tones and graphics were well appreciated. it has become a trendsetter in film - making and has got a wide - spread media coverage .
the crispness, the crackle is lost when you filter certain hollywood genres through tamil - film sensibilities. sathuranga vettai is filled with talk. there are some funny, clever lines, like the one that goes “ kuttra unarchi illaama pannradhu edhuvume thappu illai. ” (“if you don’t feel guilty while doing something, then it isn’t wrong. ”) but a lot of the time, the characters seem to be speaking to us, the audience – they keep feeding us existentialist punch lines. then there’s all the sentiment. changes of heart occur too conveniently and by the time we see a character turn into a labourer, it’s downright laughable. we need to be eased into these developments, not pushed into them. and why the moralistic streak? why should the hero (even when played by someone who’s not a big star) always have a tragic backstory, a reason for why he became who he is? by the time the love angle begins to play out (the heroine is ishaara), the sandpaper - rough protagonist has all the toughness of butter. i suppose this was done to create sympathy for the leading man, but how about some sympathy for the genre ?
cinematographer natraj is doing lead role in this movie, which has got a lot of pre - release hype. manobala had held a couple of sneak previews of the film for industry people. everybody who saw the film say it is a well - made thriller .
plot: gandhi babu (natraj) is a conman who dupes people of their money using fraudulent means like the emu scam, multi level marketing (mlm) companies scam and so on. the film deals with six interesting episodes in his life .
natraj' s performance as a conman has also won accolades from the critics .
natraj has transformed himself to gandhi babu who plots deceptive plans to make easy money from various fraudulent activities. his displayed a majestic body language and a classy dialogue delivery throughout the movie ,
said indiaglitz .
music is scored by the latest sensation sean roldan and his background score is a huge advantage for the film. while his score in the first half is racy, the second half requires him to be on the melodramatic side, and he obliges gleefully ,
said sai shyam g. of urltoken regarding the technical aspects of the film .
cinematography by venkatesh is functional, while raja sethupathi has kept the movie mostly engaging, barring few initial scenes in the second half. with a running time of less than 2. 5 hours, the movie does not lag much ,
shyam added .

in one of the scenes, the hero tells the police (while being interrogated) that people come to him to get conned and he only makes use of the opportunity, cashes in on their weakness and he' s extremely right about it. when he woos customers in a gold scam, you realize that he only made use of their weakness .
who doesn' t like gold at a discounted price? he cashes in on this weakness, fools people into believing that a certain jeweller is offering gold at a flat 50 percent discount and swindles the money collected from it .
in another scene, he says that to successfully con, one ought to lie with some percentage of truth in it. this explains why he' s named' gandhi' babu (since he' s named after mahatma gandhi, and the world expects him to be truthful). at this juncture, you' re reminded that the hero is no different from those with similar names in real life. the director' s intention was to bring to our notice similar characters in real lives such as the high profile people who con on a very different level .
each con episode is funnier than the previous one. from how a company (mlm - stands for multi level marketing, indirectly points at products that are sold by amway) sells tap water as mineral water that can cure cancer, to the gold scam - each minute leaves you rolling with laughter. it is backed by equally funny and powerful dialogues that add a lot of weight to the film .
thankfully, the lead performances keep us hooked. cinematographer - actor natraj' s effortless performance as a conman is far better than many leading heroes of tamil filmdom. when he delivers a two - minute dialogue with ease and confidence towards the end, you' re dazzled by his talent. while he may not be cut out for romance (which is evident in the film), he' s unmatchable when it comes to being comical even in a serious role .
newcomer vinoth is here for the long haul. some of his dialogues when dissected have extremely strong references to several burning issues in the country. he has also managed to extract some fine acting from a bunch of newcomers and relatively new actors .
the music and score by sean roldan will register deep within. his pick of instruments to differentiate the timeline of the story stands out, while cinematographer k. g. venkatesh fittingly captures the mood of the film through his lens .

is a surprisingly fresh film that works big time. right from scene - one when we are shown on a wild life channel a cheetah hunting an ostrich in a cunning manner, we know that this is not your usual commercial potboiler .
the film rests on intelligent writing peppered with smart dialogues and the fresh appeal of its lead actors. vinoth? s characterisation is excellent and he chose the right actors which make the story on a con - artist look realistic on screen. it is perfect casting whether it is natraj who is nothing short of terrific, new girl ishara and supporting cast .
well, he has a reason for that, which is told crisply and smartly with graphics in between (in the scene he tells the heroine his life story is clich? d). the film has nice message that money alone cannot bring happiness and security .
the film has sourced real life get rich quick schemes, widely reported in local media like emu chicken con, multi level marketing (mlm) companies scam, temple heists etc. vinoth? s brilliant script and narration makes the film connect with the audiences .
natraj is brilliant as gandhi babu. he does his part with relish using his brains more than brawn with expressive body and eye language. ishaara suits the character to a t and makes a smashing debut. the supporting cast of ilavarasu, ponvannan, dharani are perfect choices, that makes film work big time .
technically the film is chic with top class camera work by debutant venkatesh. his camera angles tell the story and the top angle shot in the end is fantastic. raja sethupathy? s editing makes the film tick, but could have made it shorter. music of sean rolden is in sync with the mood of the film and his bgm heightens the tension in the narrative .
h vinoth is definitely one of the great new finds of tamil cinema and scores for his near perfect script, narration and packaging. producer manobala and thirrupathy brothers can be proud of
. here is superior quality cinema perfect for a night out at the movies .
producer bhairav has ventured into a unique film where the protagonist, played by him, falls in love with two girls at the same time. while the girls are unaware of the situation, the hero gets ensnared in the grip of one and has to, willy - nilly, ignore the other. but, his roving eye attracts the attention of a third girl, creating more chaos in his life. “i have always been passionate about the movie industry. a few of my friends and relatives pitched in to produce this film, kannan 1 kadhali 2. director a. gopalaswamy has scripted this hilarious as well as message - driven flick. monika and bhargavi play the two heroines, ” says bhairav .
after entering the industry as a child artiste, playing junior to heroes such as jiiva, s. p. charan, raghuvaran and vikram (in anniyan), viraj now graduates to his first adult role under the direction of s. gopalakrishnan in mozhivathu yathenil (my). “my character in my is such that every time a serious situation arises, the scenario turns comical. it is a story of friendship and sacrifice, and in the last 20 minutes of the film, the strong bond between my character and that played by rajan will be the highlight, ” says viraj .
. this five - track album has a fair mix of every genre, and of course with a touch of sean���s guitar techniques that you cannot miss out .
starts with a film dialogue and ends with one too. the highlight of this song, sung by sean himself, is the music arrangements he���s made for the heavy lyrics .
, the lone romantic and melodious song in the album, has kalayani nair doing a neat job with the vocals .
crooned by sean is a peppy number that is sure to enter the charts. the music arrangements make this tamil song sound more western .
sung by sathya prakash is a slow track that makes for a good listen. lyricist karky has done a good job with the lines, and the flute work needs a mention too .
is a fun number sung anthony daasan. what makes this song stand out is the voice modulation by the singer. not to miss, the funny lyrics and dialogues in the song that add more cheer to the song .

ever since the veteran actor cum director, manobala said he is producing a movie with newbies, this project got some attention going. with sean roldan, who has already delivered a intriguing ost (vaayai moodi pesavum) this one got its own weightage. sean is definitely here to stay for a long time. hope his experiments continue for a long time .
sean packs a heavy punch with his thunderous voice with gkb' s hard hitting lyrics. the electric guitars rule this short track. the prelude dialogue reminds us of the great, m. r. radha, taking a dig at mindless people. this could well be the showpiece tune of the movie, given the glimpse of story line from the trailer .
an ambient melody where guitars take centre stage once again. vairamuthu pens his magic to this lovely tune. though other instruments gels well (especially tabla) with the guitar, the composer maintains the free flow of guitar throughout. kalyani utters vairamuthu' s tamizh brilliantly without any pronunciation error .
this is a song which preaches the importance of earning money. once again, sean has used guitars in a brilliant fashion which makes us feel that he is quite attached to it. like, yaemarum janame, sean' s energy lifts the song. to match the current trend, the song ends within 200 seconds. a very good listen for its mixing alone .
one of the splendid find from the much celebrated music competition, satya prakash does complete justice to this, violin based number. sean has got an excellent team which handles every instrument with utmost finesse. the flute which revolves around the tune is absolutely mesmerizing .
sean somehow finds a perfect tune for anthonry in his every outing. with his previous experiments with folk based kuthu, anthoney delivers another winner here. sean tried to mix kuthu & electronic sounds, and makes an interesting combo .
pick (s) from the album - yeamarum janame, kaadhala kaadhala, munne en munne .
manobala has directed several hit movies in the 80s and 90s and then turned comedian. sean roldan is the music director .
initially, i was turned down by several producers. i met nalan through a common friend and handed over my film' s script to him. he left it in his house and went to trichy on a personal trip. nalan' s mother found the script and read it. she loved it and asked nalan to read it too ,
vinoth told ians .
after returning from trichy, nalan read the script and he really liked it. he called me and said that he would help me find a producer. that' s when actor manobala asked nalan to find some good stories for his new production house. when manobala read my script, he instantly agreed to produce it ,
he added .
my film is about the pace at which we all want to make money in our lives. it' s about the anger of common man who thinks money is the solution to all his problems. when there' s imbalance in nature, we experience tsunami and earthquake. likewise, my story is about the imbalance in the social morals of a common man ,
he said .
to keep audiences entertained, vinoth has made the film as funny as possible .
the story revolves around six episodes and it has been narrated with a lot of fun, satire and dark humour. audiences will also get to find answers to important questions about how most of us are making money ,
he added .
i think every debut director should realise that it' s not easy to gauge the pulse of the audience. you can' t anticipate what they will like in a film. secondly, every first - time director should find a producer and a team who' d believe in his or her film ,
he said .
only when you convince everybody working with you that you can succeed as a team, will they believe in your film and give their best. one should also learn how to make a film on a low - budget because that happens to be the latest trend ,
he added .
has several little stories. tiny snippets, all of them, neatly enclosed in different episodes. it is almost like rifling through a newspaper. or reading a fast - paced book that cannot be put - down. there’s something fascinating about a movie that comes packaged in chapters .
listening to a well narrated book is an incredible experience. (and yes, it helps us pay our bills too !) click here for the free trial
it’s a con movie of the highest order. it could also be a book. there’s intrigue, there’s laughter, there’s conspiracy, and more laughter. one moment, there’s feverish excitement, and the next, we slap our forehead in exasperation. it also makes us whistle .
gandhi babu is quite clever, even for a con - man. he has a smart mouth, and can talk his way into everything and out of anything. towards the end of the movie, he manages to pull off a heist with such apparent ease that it deserves applause. especially during the moment when he convinces an outwardly pious politician about the mystic magnetic powers of a temple’s kalasam. but to gandhi babu’s credit, he is methodical to a fault. he reads kumudham jothidam and bhakti vikatan; arms himself with some key terms and launches into a spiritual discourse of such vehemence that the politician’s skin erupts in goose - flesh (also, perhaps, thanks to sean roldan’s rising tempo). he also never panics. his heavily pregnant wife is at home, at the mercy of a goon while he plans the heist. under immense duress .
a chase that seeks to justify the title, and also perhaps, to drive home the point. it’s a hunt in the literal sense. a family of cheetahs prey on an ostrich. gandhi babu is savouring this hunt on television when he receives a call from a businessman. he’s a potential client. gandhi babu sells a snake to him for an exorbitant amount of money, convinces him that the reptile (codenamed ilayathalapathi vijay) can understand several languages, and that its flesh is highly - valued for its libido - boosting properties. until mr. chettiyar’s tech - savvy son arrives and dispels the story with a flick of his screen. but gandhi babu doesn’t twitch a muscle. he coolly asks the driver to turn around, flings his cell - phone out of the window, and starts hunting a new prey. the next time though, he would no longer deal with snakes. he would sell sparkling (tap) water that can cure cancer and aids .
gandhi babu slips in and out of his different skins with admirable ease. more charming is his cool swagger when he escapes unscathed from encounters. and in a hilarious instance – when he finally ends up at the police station, the constable who tries to make a file of his crimes, runs of out paper. the cop then mops up his sweat and glances at him reverentially. with eyes full of worship, he walks up to him and says, “sir? ”
in the final few moments, gandhi babu manages to send a message to the cop whose friendly warning he hadn’t apparently forgotten. gandhi babu has a baby now. and even though he manages to escape unscathed from that final heist, it’s the cop who has the last word .
vinoth employs a series of tricks to amp up his narrative, to make us feel we’re watching a really cool movie. he breaks the film into chapters and slaps a tongue - in - cheek title on each one. he uses animation to narrate a flashback. there’s a goon who, when he feels like it, speaks in pure tamil. there’s a cobra that’s christened ‘ilaya thalapathy’ vijay. and there’s a lot of jittery editing, always in a rush to drag us to the next scene. what we don’t get is the pleasure of being conned .
genre: con thriller director: h. vinoth cast: natraj, ishaara, ponvannan. storyline: the story of a conman who falls in love. bottomline: not bad, but too much talk and too few thrills
the con movie is a curious genre. we’d hate to be in the victims’ shoes in real life, but on screen, we want the conmen to perpetrate the most elaborate frauds and get away with it. it’s vicarious wish - fulfilment for the id. we don’t see too many of these films in tamil, so the newness keeps us watching (this is one of those not - bad - for - a - first - film films) — but the cons aren’t shaped well. they seem too easy (except for the last one) and the victims seem too dumb .
and the director makes at least one very odd choice. when gandhi babu is apprehended by the police, we see that he’s used a variety of disguises — but when the first two cons play out, he looks the same. we want to see him in those disguises. we want some panache. we want those slo - mo shots of a beard coming off, a mask being ripped off. and we want some tension. we’re constantly aware of the nuts and bolts of the con, so we’re two steps ahead of the victims. we never watch these episodes wondering how something was pulled off; we just watch events reach their logical conclusion. predictability is not something you want in a con movie .
and why the moralistic streak? why should the hero (even when played by someone who’s not a big star) always have a tragic backstory, a reason for why he became who he is? by the time the love angle begins to play out (the heroine is ishaara), the sandpaper - rough protagonist has all the toughness of butter. i suppose this was done to create sympathy for the leading man, but how about some sympathy for the genre ?
