R ARIVANANTHAM
Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi has donned khakhi uniform, for the secondtime, to deliver his best in comedy-action film ‘DSP’. The film was released on December 2, Friday. The film directed Ponram follows the story of a police officer, out for revenge.
Vijay Sethupathi played the role of Vascodagama gets a routine introduction as strict police officer beating a criminal, before gets posted to Dindigul region.
After getting into a confrontation with a vicious rowdy in Dindigul, the son of a flower vendor is forced to join the police force and face challenges.
Some unexpected events force him to have a tiff with Mutta Ravi (Prabhakar), who is a powerful politician’s lieutenant. A local inspector tells DSP to leave Dindigul and save himself after an altercation with Ravi before his sister’s wedding. But can his power and position help him fight against Ravi and then the MLA?
Vijay Sethupathi done a fabulous job. It’s Vijay’s honest attempt at being his usual self, giving us some clap-worthy moments. He has upped the game in emotional sequences but it is the weak plot that falls flat.
Director Ponram’s writing gets stronger as the film accelerates. He took his sweet time to develop the story and the character of the protagonist. In between all the chaos, there comes a cliché romantic track with Anu Keerthy. Anu, though doesn’t really have much to do with the plot, manages to entertain here and there.
Prabhakar has done a good job as the antagonist. Many other actors are also part of this film but they really don’t make any impact on the audience and the story as well. Shivani Narayanan comes as a cop in the second half and her screen presence adds a bit of charm. Vemal’s cameo appearance is really good but the sequence could have been etched out better.
