REVIEW

 Sasikumar is set for an image makeover as he has ventured into a full-comedy entertainer in the form of Balle Vellaiya Thevaa. The actor, who is known for his action-packed rural dramas, has teamed up with debutant director Solai Prakash, a former associate of Sudha Kongara and Bala.

Tanya, the granddaughter of yesteryear actor Ravichandran, is romancing Sasikumar in the movie. Kovai Sarala has a very important role in the flick, which has Sanglii Murugan, Rohini and others in the cast.

Rabindranath Guru has handled the cinematography, while Praveen Anthony has edited the flick. Darbuka Siva has composed the music and Kan Vatchutta and Balle Vellaiyathevaa songs from the album have turned out to be hits.

STORY

Balle Vellaiya Thevaa is about how the people in a village embrace technology and things they do using social media sites are being narrated with a lot of humour. Sasikumar plays the role named Sakthivel, who aspires for a government job. The story turns interesting after his mother, a post woman, gets transferred to another village.

PERFORMANCE

Sasikumar has been magnanimous in letting Kovai Sarala play the centrestage with she playing the lead. And she has livd up to the expectations coming up with a scintillating performance as Selfie Kaathayee.

She oozes with energy and perfectly slips in the mould of Aachi Manorama to render a superb performance. And Sangili Murugan plays his husband and the acting prowess of him has come to the fore. It's a a different storyline and director tries to convey how technology has crept inside Tamilnadu villages. The use of instagram, twitter, whatsapp selfies and Facebook have been dealt well.
