TN 07 AL 4777 Movie Review

It’s so simple when reviewing TN 07 AL 4777. Two different characterizations with unique scenarios and backgrounds… Fate or Destiny!!! Whatever you call it, it urges these two personalities to collide with each other that change their lives forever.


One fine morning a rich billionaire youngster (Ajmal) and a cab driver (Pasupathy) start their lives at 8 in the morning. Ajmal is on his hearing at court that will decide his destiny about inheriting his father’s property. On the pars, it’s Pasupathy who has lied to his wife that he’s an insurance salesman. Accidentally, as his car is stuck with some problem, Ajmal gets into the cab of Pasupathy. To get him so faster to the hearing, he keeps paying him more money to ride it faster. When Pasupathy hits with an accident, Ajmal gets away forsaking him. That’s not an end as both have to meet furthermore for various clashed that will change their course of life within next 12 hours.


Ajmal is there on with his fantastic job while you needn’t anything about Pasupathy. These actors with their unique style steal the show. Perhaps, Ajmal had a decorous performance in his debut ‘Anjathey’ and over here, it’s more enhanced. Meenakshi can better look out for item numbers as she doesn’t emote to any situations properly. Precisely you can say she has blindly inherited the performing style of Sameera Reddy in the original version. However, Simran peaks with her clichéd show and Director could’ve added more light on her characterization.


Lakshmikanthan whose previous film ‘Netru Indru Naalai’ had a good script and gripping screenplay was an innovative make. Similarly, he spells such work over here. But it makes us wonder, why he doesn’t make any alterations from the original make. He should’ve better understood audiences’ taste varies from Bollywood audiences to that of Tamil Film Industry.


Musical score by Vijay Antony is fine with couple of songs, especially the number ‘Aathichudi’, title song shot at Sowkarpet.


Though Tamil Nadu movie buffs have almost forgotten the fact, filmdom obviously remembers that 4777 is the car number of late thespian chief minister M.G. Ramachandran, who was popularly known as MGR.


Verdict: Thank God! The film doesn’t get on for a longer duration and merely it’s something for 100mins. Such films should be welcomed. For sure, film buffs or wanna be filmmaker would love watching a film with different style. But don’t expect the same results from B and C centres.


Rating: 3 stars on 5
