Review of movie Billa Pandi

×

Rating:2.5/5

When director Raj Sethupathi introduces us to Billa Pandi (RK Suresh) as a hard-core Ajith fan who lives by the principle his Thala follows, it isn’t just to give the hero an identity. For, Ajith is part and parcel of this film, and travels in spirit till the climax – as cut-outs, a locket that Billa Pandi wears, as cellphone ringtones and even in the form of a theevira Ajith rasigan who helps Pandi at a crucial time in his life. No wonder he has dedicated this film to the fans of Ultimate Star!

The film traces the life of construction contractor Pandi, for whom life revolves around his grandmother and the Ajith rasigar mandram, through which he tries to help the needy. When his grandmom passes away, his relatives advice him to move on by marrying his aunt’s daughter, Valli (Chandini Tamilarasan). But then, there’s a twist in the tale when Jayalakshmi (Indhuja) enters his life, and becomes a part of it in the most complex way.

After being part of the industry as a producer, distributor and an actor, this is an impressive debut for Suresh as the hero. He seems comfortable playing the role of an Ajith fan and is quite convincing in action and emotional sequences. Indhuja shines in the role of a woman who has lost her everything, including her memory, and Chandini impresses despite the limited screen time.
