When a couple of youths fall in love with girls from
orthodox families thing turn for the worse and plays mishap with their lives in
the worst possible manner.
“Rummy” sounds like the name of a modern day
thriller-drama but what we have in our hands is a love story set in a 1980s
village. The storyline has been chewed like a used tobacco, countless times and
hence the biggest surprise in the movie is that there are still takers for this
Paleolithic story filled with sickles, blood and of course, love.
The story leads to a lazy screenplay which in turn
is filled with weak characters, (including Vijay Sethupathy) numerous plot
holes and a very average acting that lends nothing but trouble to the audience.
Many, including me, went in for Vijay Sethupathy but believe me, this is one
Vijay Sethupathy movie that you should miss.
Till the end, the question has been left unanswered:
Why is the movie titled “Rummy”??? May be the director was looking for a trump
card which he never found but instead found a “joker” through the audience.
Songs play havoc to the already slow moving
screenplay.This is not the water-tight Vijay Sethupathy that we expected. But
instead a movie in which he was cast just to add publicity and bring in an
otherwise hesitant audience.
Bottom line: Gambling (in the name of “Rummy”) is
injurious to your time and money.
