BALLE VELLAIYA THEVAA MOVIE REVIEW It is sad to see artists like Rohini get totally wasted. Heroine Tanya has nothing to do but to give some steely glares at Sasikumar in the initial scenes. One nice thing is we get to hear her speaking her lines. It must be one of those rare films when a heroine feels very proud about her family’s poor antecedence! Sasikumar is his usual self. At times, Kovai Sarala makes you go crazy with her screech. You remember Darbuka Siva’s title score because it keeps getting played out. His BGM in certain places is decent. That aside, other departments of filmmaking do their required job. If the director had made up his mind about his story and had narrated sincerely, Balle Vellaiya Thevaa would have made you say Balle Sabash! But sadly, it does not happen. Verdict: The usual strengths of Sasikumar that we see in his rural based films are missing in BVT BEHINDWOODS REVIEW BOARD RATING ( 1.75 / 5.0 ) PUBLIC REVIEW BOARD RATING ( 0.75 / 5.0 ) http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/balle-vellaiya-thevaa/balle-vellaiya-thevaa-review-1.html -------------------------------------- Balle Vellaiyathevaa review The major problem with Balle Vellaiyathevaa is that nothing really works in the favor of the film. We are unable to invest with any of the characters, which is a complete letdown. Despite the short running time (116 minutes), the film appears lengthy due to the shoddy screenplay and half baked characters. Sasikumar is adequate for the tailor made role given to him. The makers promoted that Kovai Sarala plays a solid character but sadly she has nothing much to do here. Newcomer Tanya sleepwalks throughout the film and Rohini is just okay. The one unique element about the film is the director has registered how latest technologies have been penetrated into small villages but apart from this, Balle Vellaiyathevaa is easily one of weakest film in Sasikumar's career. Darbuka Siva, who grabbed our attention with his exemplary work in Kidaari fails to impress but Ravindranath Guru's cinematography is a big plus. The bottom line is Balle Vellaiyathevaa can be appreciated only by reading the title again and again but definitely, not after watching the film.
