Richie Movie review | behindwoods | release date | download | tailor | teaser
Richie is another remake in Tamil, this time it’s Rakshit Shetty’s Kannada film Ulidavaru Kandanthe that gets the Kollywood treatment. Directed by Gautham Ramachandran, this is a neo-noir crime film, set in a small fishing village. The film has been in the news for being Malayalam superstar Nivin Pauly’s first (proper) Tamil film. Nivin is very popular in Tamil Nadu as his iconic love story Premam ran for 257 days in Chennai theatres and later, his Malayalam films too found a market in the state.
RICHIE REVIEW: 'Who IS Richie?' That's the quest on which a journalist (Shraddha Srinath) embarks on, to find out the real virtue of the man who is different things to different people. Kaka Peter (Kumaravel) sees Richie (Nivin Pauly) as a hireling of gangster Isaac Annachi, (GK Reddy, whose snow-white fake beard makes him seem like Santa), at whose hands he almost met his death. But for Murugesh (Aadukalam Murugadoss), he is the friend who treated him with compassion. As for Richie's father, Sagayam (Prakash Raj), a reverend, he is someone who is beyond redemption. And Raghu (Raj Bharath), who was once a friend, sees him as someone who dashes his plans.
A remake of the Kannada film Ulidavaru Kandanthe, Richie is built around characters who are victims of their circumstances. Richie is unable to overcome the fact that both his friend and father deserted him in his hour of need. Raghu is more concerned about his own safety and future, having run away from gang with a treasure — an invaluable statue. And that makes his mother, Radha (Thulasi), who pines for her long-lost son, a victim as well. Peter, on the other hand, has to face the reaction that comes him way following his action of ignoring Isaac Annachi. Meanwhile, Selvam (Natty) has come to the place to forget the ghost of his past, and his actions there are defined by his attraction to Peter's sister Philomina (Lakshmi Priyaa).
