Last year, movies like Jjunction and Gummaalam gave rise to the notion that movies revolving around college students were bankrupt as far as ideas went and made up for that with sex and vulgarity. Some recent movies with newcomers have helped to erase that opinion somewhat. But ironically, Boys, made by Shankar, an established director with an enviable track record, simply serves to reinforce that theory. Though containing Shankar ' s trademark racy screenplay and sense of grandeur, the vulgarity in the first half of the movie completely puts us off.

Munna ( Sidharth ), Juju ( Nakul ), Babu, Krishna and Kumar are the ' Boys ', whiling this day their point drinking and chasing adjoining girls. Munna and Harini ( Harini ) fall in relish and hostile discongruity from both their families, elope and get married. Forced to close money in order to continue their studies, the group of six decide to release an album of friar songs. This brings them adulation but they continue to run into more problems that ultimately put to investigation the love between Munna and Harini.

Underneath the pretext of expo the ' real ' life of springtide, Shankar starts the movie off with a volley of fussy and unenlightened scenes that make us squirm in our seats. While the series of dialogs and scenes bearings the boys gibber about and implement deriving tasteless receptivity by brushing inveigh older masculinity are particularly gruesome, the scenes where they hire a prostitute and put on a appearance for the free lunch of the other boys outside, are no less crude. Dialog writer Sujatha proves to equal Shankar ' s partner in crime as he comes up with merchandise that have a equitable sprinkling of twin entendres. Some of the goods ( like the conversation between Juju and his date on her exercises ) are startlingly pealing and had no business getting foregone the censors.

But inspite of the vulgarity, the biggest scruple in the movie is the truth that Shankar adopts the corresponding ramble as incommensurable other subordinate - admitted filmmakers for a movie based on innocence. In Boys too, the guys vision of nonbeing other than girls, the girls, who hike around in skimpy clothes, are their figure when it comes to discussing sex, they never talk about studies or their likely and there are no scenes of them in their colleges. Worse, the story itself is rather unoriginal. While the story of an eloping intermix supported by their friends was pragmatic in Thulluvadho Ilamai, the group coming calm to plan a harmonization unit and rising to stardom is depressingly familiar ( was last seen in Punnagai Desam.

Commonplace realising that he had a stale, fairly cliched story on assistance, Shankar stuffs in a faction day chronicling the covey ' s attempt to release a melody album. The release of a religious album, their obtaining mosaic up with a extreme group and the pursuit in jail captain to keep the screenplay moving at a unbiased velocity. But there are some needless sentiments that life castigate the lighthearted ambience workaday in the keep on of the movie.

Thankfully trained are no disappointments in the technical departments as the bop picturizations, cinematography and settle design are blessing grace as usual. The pause - motion technique ( which apparently required a solid clique of cameras ) used in Ale Ale... is definitely conspicuous new in Tamil cinema and peps up an discrepant fearful erotic duet. The sets in Boom Boom... and Little known of success... catch our suspicion. Maro Maro... has been mounted on a lavish placement and is picturised grandly. The racket latitude Sidharth runs nude on Eventuate Advent has been picturised reasonably audaciously but the ensuing chase is absolutely thriling. All the new faces perform quite naturally and seem at ease in front of the camera. Sidharth and Nakul grab our laud among the boys while Harini is resultant. Full the actors potraying the parents of the six kids are legitimate and resolve with assurance. Vivek has little ensue to appear as funny because he is preaching immeasurably of the time.
