Boss Engira Baskaran (2010) DVD 5 - AYngaran - XViD - Tamil

Boss Engira Bhaskaran







Director Rajesh seems to have  begun from where he left in ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’. Though he is just  one-film old, he has almost mastered the knack of rendering a movie that  oozes with energy, fun and laughter right from reel one to the last.



Humour is no easy job. It is a serious business. In ‘Boss Engira  Baskaran’, the director and his team have emerged successful in coming  out with an unpretentious entertainer, ably executed by a wonderful star  cast - Arya, Nayanthara, Santhanam and Subbu Panchu among others.



It may be a simple storyline, but the way in which Rajesh approaches it  makes the difference. His dialogues and screenplay are the backbone.  Especially the one-liners by Santhanam no doubt brings the roof down in  laughter. Arya is at his ease delivering a befitting performance, while  Nayanthara sans much glamour is a treat to watch.



A callous youth is bitten by love bug. With the help of his friend, he  goes hammer and tongs to climb the ladder of success in life. This is  what ‘Boss…’ is all about. A shrewd Rajesh has made spoof of some  contemporary films, added right commercial elements with humour as under  current, and the end product, eventually, is impressive.



The whole story unfolds in Kumbakonam. At a time when most filmmakers go  around Madurai with action-packed themes, ‘Boss…’ comes as a relief.  Baskaran (Arya), affectionately called as Boss by friends is a  happy-go-lucky youngster who strives hard to clear his arrear exams. For  him the day starts in the company of Nallathambi (Santhanam), who runs a  saloon. Boss’s family comprising his mom, elder brother Saravanan  (Subbu Panchu) and sister lead a happy life.



Boss comes across Chandrika (Nayantara) and it’s love at first sight for  him. Interestingly, she happens to be a trainee professor and Boss is  caught by her while copying in an exam. Turn of events results in  Chandrika’s sister (Vijayalakshmi) marrying Saravanan. When Boss  expresses his desire to marry Chandrika all hell breaks loose. He is  chided for his callous lifestyle and irresponsibility.



Boss takes a vow to earn money in six months and get his sister married  before holding the hands of Chandrika. He takes refuge in Nalathambi’s  saloon. With the help of his friend, he tries to make money, but nothing  works out. Meanwhile, Chandrika appears now and then and urges him to  achieve his mission.



Now Boss and Nallathambi start a tutorial college with money obtained  from a loan shark Velpandi (‘Naan Kadavul’ Rajendran) under one  condition – that to help his son who repeatedly flunked in exams to pass  or otherwise become a servant in his house. They face many a hurdle in  their mission, but eventually they succeed.



Boss earns money and gets his sister married. But his desire of marrying  Chandrika shatters as her father is against the proposal, thanks to a  stupid act by the two friends. Now enters an NRI youth (Jiiva) to marry  Chandrika. It’s game between him and Boss.



Kudos to Arya who pulled it off well. After a serious portrayal in  ‘Madrasappatinam’, he is right there bringing out his comical skills to  the fore. As a callous youth, he fits the bill exceedingly well. In  other words, the vintage Arya of ‘Arindhum Ariyamalum’ is back. His  comical antics in the company of Santhanam are enjoyable.



Nayantara plays a professor and is draped in sarees sans much glamour.  She plays her part well. Subbu Panchu as Arya’s brother is adequate. Son  of veteran producer Panchu Arunachalam, he is good at giving out what  the director wants. ‘Friends’ fame Vijayalakshmi, Lakshmi as Arya’s  mother, Chitra Lakshmanan as Nayantara’s father get under the skin of  their respective characters and play well.



But the real scene-stealer is Santhanam. His wits, punches are  enjoyable. As Arya’s friend, who always gets into a tangle for no fault  of his, he has done a great job. Santhanam has announced his arrival to  the big league of comedians with this movie.



Kumbakonam has been captured at its pristine beauty by Sakthi Saravanan.  His use of soft tones fits well for a laughathon. Also songs in foreign  locales get life thanks to him. Giving him good company is Yuvanshankar  Raja. As usual, he has come up with songs that gel with the story. The  number ‘Yar Intha Penthan…’ is humable.



Rajesh has made spoof of some contemporary Tamil films in an enjoyable  manner. Quite like ‘Thamizh Padam’, they are outrightly hilarious.  Produced by K S Srinivasan and presented by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red  Giant Movies and Arya’s The Show People, ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is right  there oozing with abundant energy and unlimited fun. Kudos to  Udhayanidhi for choosing quality films with varied stories that leave an  impression with the masses.
