Set in the backdrop of Kumbakonam, Boss Engira Bhaskaran has Arya playing the role of a happy-go-lucky guy Bhaskaran aka Boss, with a good-for-nothing image in his social circle; Santhanam plays his only friend Nalla Thambi who runs a saloon. Nayantara plays a trainee lecturer Chandrika. Malayalam actress Shakeela, noted for her appearances in numerous soft porn movies, plays a cameo as a tutorial teacher, while Jiiva comes in the climax in a special role.
The hilarious portions of Santhanam is the major plus while Aarya and Nayanthara are justediocre.Set in backdrops of Kumbakonam, Baskaran aka Boss (Aarya) leads a devil-may-care life. More arrears, jobless and such factors make his days grow unintentional. He falls in love with Chandrika (Nayanthara), a well educated post-graduate, whose elder sister (Vijayalakshmi) marries Boss’ elder brother (Subbu Panchu). Nalla Thambi (Santhanam) is often wretched with the friendship of Boss and yet stands by his side in times of distress.
When Baskaran professes his love for Chandrika through her elder sister, oppositions takes in place on front place as his family members complain of his idleness and irresponsiblenesses. Rajnikanth’s challenge in Annamalai becomes Boss’ intentions as he challenges of making it bigger in life. Rest of the story is about the comical encounters of Baskaran and Nalla Thambi as they commence a tutorial school.
Director M Rajesh is clever and looks like he has gauged the pulse of the audience to a certain level correctly. The viewers are treated to a laugh-riot no doubt but if one needs to enjoy the movie then the best thing to do is to watch the film without any expectations whatsoever.
Yuvan Shankar Raja disappoints with the background score. Except ‘Yaar Indha Penn’, nothing sustains into your senses. He keeps repeating the same percussions in background through second half. Sakthi’s Saravanan camera work is a manifestation of great visuals. Vivek Harshan’s editing is okay.
The film is worth a watch with the family and sure to keep the viewer in good cheer throughout.
