Review of the movie Buffoon: a good thriller.

Buffoon Movie Plot Summary: Two koothu performers are unjustly accused of drug smuggling and used as pawns in a political power struggle. How long can they avoid a focused police search?

Review of the movie Buffoon: The story of Buffoon, a good thriller that depicts the connection between politicians, gangsters, and cops, is set in the coastal region of southern Tamil Nadu. However, what distinguishes the film, directed by Ashok Veerappan, from other ones set in this area is how it uses the political landscape of this place to build a compelling story. The movie, in a refreshing change, goes right to the action when Rangarajan (Aadukalam Naren), a displeased politician, informs his party leader (VIS Jayapalan).

The CM chooses to target Dhanapalan, Rangarajan’s muscle (Joju George, in a part that is more of an extended cameo). In the process, Kumaran (Vaibhav, who does a good job portraying a gullible young man who becomes involved in something more complicated and sinister), a therukoothu artist who accepts a job as a driver, is detained by the police. They accuse him of smuggling drugs and identify him as the enigmatic Dhanapalan. With assistance from Kumaran’s love interest Ilayaal (Anagha, who is rather let down by the dubbing), a Sri Lankan refugee, the two manage to escape and attempt to flee the country, but the cops, lead by a determined SP Haridas (Tamilarasan), are set on tracking them down to facilitate the CM’s political power game.

The film has a Karthik Subbaraj feel to it thanks to the subplot regarding the hardship of Sri Lankan immigrants and the Rajinikanth tributes (Haridas’ ringtone). The film’s presenter is the director.

The writing of Ashok Veerappan is meticulous, and his filming is so assured that he effortlessly draws the audience into the story’s world. The romance track between Kumaran and Ilayaal is the lone area that lacks credibility. We wish it had been written more skillfully, despite the fact that it is essential to the plot’s growth. With his score, Santhosh Narayanan intensifies the tension in the moments.

After collaborating with Alia Bhatt, director “ki band baj jaati hai,” Vasan Bala explains why

Vasan Bala, who directed Alia Bhatt in the ill-fated Jigra, has opened up on his experience working with the actor.
Vasan Bala collaborated with actor Alia Bhatt for the first time this year in the jailbreak thriller Jigra. While critics praised the film, it did not work at the box office. A minor controversy erupted around the time of the release when a statement from Vasan about producer Karan Johar sending his half-baked script to Alia was misconstrued. Now, the filmmaker has opened up on his experience working with Alia, emphasising that she spoils her directors.

Vasan Bala on working with Alia Bhatt

In an interaction with Mashable India, Vasan said, “I think every director who I love should get an opportunity to work with Alia Bhatt. They will be spoilt and then unki agli film mein band bajegi (They will suffer in their next film),” adding, “She has no entourage, nothing, she is always ready. Sometimes, I didn’t even have to communicate how I wanted a scene; a gesture from my end would be enough for her to understand what I needed in that shot.”

The filmmaker also recalled a day on set when both he and Alia let loose and welcomed a more fun environment on the otherwise grim film set. “Usually, sets are funny, but this film lacked humour, so the environment on the set used to remain quiet serious. This one day, we had a lighter day, and we were just chit-chatting and laughing,” he added.
