After a good outing in the lead role in A1, comes Dagaalty. In a nutshell, the movie is about a conman, who tries to save a innocent girl from a rich ‘womaniser’ after realising that he has fallen for her. The movie boasts of Radharavi, Yogi Babu, MS Baskar and Tarun Arora besides newcomer Rittika Sen. Directed by Vijay Anand, the movie is bankrolled by SP Chowdhary.
Vijay Samrat (Tarun Arora) is a Mumbai-based multi-billionaire. He gives an assignment to his henchmen across the country- to find out a girl with the help of her sketches. He says he is ready to shell out Rs 10 crore for the ‘mission’. Even as his goons search for her all over India, the task is also given to Guru (Santhanam) through Bhai (Radha Ravi), a local don. Guru finds her- Malli (Rittika Sen)- in Thiruchendur. Since she is an aspiring filmmaker and innocent, he promises to make her a director in Bollywood and takes her to Mumbai. However, only after handing her over to Samrat, Guru realises his mistake and regrets about it. He now decides to save Malli from Samrat with the help of his friends.
Santhanam’s screen presence is the highlight of the movie. His one-liners and his on-screen chemistry with Yogi Babu is good to watch.
Rittika Sen and Tarun Arora chip in with their best. Radha Ravi and Brahmanandam do justice to their respective roles. Though director Vijay Anand has got the basic idea right, he has missed to engage the audience. Deepak Kumar’s camera and Suresh’s editing are passable.
