Contents

It is a remake of the 2007 Telugu film Lakshyam . [1] It has also been dubbed in Hindi as Zakhmi Cheetah. The film became a hit at the box office similar to the previous outing Malai Malai .

Plot

The film starts with Anjali escaping on a motorcycle from her enforced engagement with the assistance of the groom; however, DIG Easwarapandian sees her from his police car. Meanwhile, a valiant Velu absconds from the police prison and beats a group of policemen. Easwarapandian arrives at the warehouse. Velu jumps over his car and then shoots it, killing him. He drives off on Anjali's motorcycle.

Past: Six months ago, ACP Bose was a sincere and happily married police officer. He lives with his parents, wife, and younger brother, Velu. Velu is a college student who manages the college canteen. He falls in love with his classmate, Anjali. Velu always loves his family and his brother. Enter Umapathi, the villain who is notorious for land deals. On a field trip with her friends, Anjali comes across Bose. She gets friendly with his daughter Pinky, who tells her that she will get introduced to her uncle Velu and that they will be a good pair. It turns out that Velu studies at Anjali's college, and after comedic incidents, they get to know one another and get close.

Bose investigates the case of Umapathi, whom no one has been able to touch. He is even involved with a land deal involving crores of money, which is illegal, and others, including the DIG. When trying to arrest Umapathi for a witness' death, the minister calls the DIG to let Umapathi go. So Bose kills goons linked to Umapathi's crime syndicate. The chairman of the chit fund, who lent ₹1,000,000,000 (US$21.5 million) for the deal, demands the money back as the agreement has not worked. Umapathi requests the help of Dinesh, Velu's friend and Umapathi's henchman. Dinesh technically assassinates the chairman by electrocuting him, and Bose uncovers his death. Dinesh lusts for Anjali. Velu saves Anjali after she gets kidnapped. He beats up Umapathi's goons and Umapathi; he threatens and beats up Umapathi.

Umapathi gets angry that Velu beat him up. Dinesh plans to kill Velu. So on a trip to Vellore for Anjali's cousin's wedding, Umapathi's goons attack Velu and Anjali; however, Velu beats up his goons. Velu asks Dinesh to get away with Anjali, unaware of Dinesh's diabolic shade. Dinesh reveals to Anjali how he is mad at her and that he was the one who organised the goons to kill Velu. There are also comedic incidents between Ezhumalai, Manickam (Velu's friend), and Bhooshan. The chit-fund customers revolt and damage the bank; Bose arrives at the location, arrests the chit-fund manager, and takes him away. Somehow, Umapathi discovers the manager's whereabouts. He reaches there with his men and the DIG. Bose beats up his goons, DIG and Umapathi. Dinesh stabs Bose with a knife, and he takes Dinesh's chain. The DIG and Umapathi also stabbed him with knives, nearly killing Bose. Umapathi kills the manager and frames Bose for the manager's murder. The DIG lies to the entire media and the people and makes them think Bose has swindled off all the people's money, and they organise protests. The doctor sees Bose leaving the hospital and informs Velu. Umapathi asks his men to dump the body. Velu ultimately rescues Bose from a burning bus. Bose dies in Velu's arms and sees the Srirangam gopuram, fulfilling his wish. Velu and his friends carry out his funeral rites and shave his head and beard. Velu receives a phone call that Bose's wife (Velu's sister-in-law) has given birth to a baby boy. His family is upset about Bose's disappearance, and Velu hides Bose's death.

Velu decides to take revenge on the people who killed his brother. First, he discovers Dinesh's locket in his pocket, which Bose left in his pocket before dying. He impales and kills Dinesh after discovering his involvement in Bose's death. Then he kills the DIG after luring him.

Present: Umapathi also kidnaps Velu's entire family after seeing Velu saving Bose in the media recording. Velu goes to an old temple, where he kills Umapathi. He burst into tears and revealed that Bose was dead, and he rescued his family under the supervision of the new DIG, Gautham Ganesh, who supported him wholeheartedly.

Cast

Production

After the success of his film Malai Malai , Arun Vijay teams with Malai Malai team ( which consists of A Venkatesh, Mani Sharma, Santhanam and producer Mohan) for second time, Venkatesh decided to remake the Telugu film Lakshyam . [1] The film was said to be titled as Maanja Madhan [2] which proved untrue and it is changed as Maanja Velu. [3] [4] [5]

Suresh Gopi was initially selected to play the role of Arun's elder brother [6] but he was replaced by another senior actor Karthik who made his comeback through this film. [7] [8] [9] Dhansika, who was one of the five girls in Peraanmai has been selected to play the pair opposite hero making her first project as a solo heroine. [10] [11]

First schedule of the film was started with song at Bangkok. [12] [13] The climax fight scenes of the film were canned in Ekkattuthangal Burma Colony Muneeswarar Temple, Chennai for the last 5 days and were shot using two outdoor units and four cameras. The set was built like that of a ruined temple, with a 50 ft tall 'Aiyanaar' statue erected at a whopping 65 lakhs. [14] A scene featuring 400 junior artists and 25 stunt artists was canned in a festival set that was erected around the temple. A scene in which Arun Vijay kicking two fighters by jumping from a platform was being shot, for which both the fighters were tied on with a transparent nylon rope, to avoid accidents. One of the nylon ropes got unexpectedly tangled with Arun Vijay's right arm while he was performing the action. Arun Vijay's elbow was badly injured due to the accident and his whole arm swelling at once. The actor was immediately offered first aid by the stunt master Kanal Kannan and was rushed to the hospital where he was offered emergency treatment, for this scene Arun tonsured his head to give a new look and also hanged upside down which was shot for 7 days. [15] [16] [17] Songs were shot at Pazhani, Dindigul and Chennai. [18] The title song of the film was shot in Pondicherry schedule with 80 junior artists. Few stunts were shot at Trichy and Stunt master Kanal Kannan has given 45 days of his schedule. [15]

Controversy

Before the release, Dr. Kalidoss has stated that he had been in the film industry for the past 15 years and that he completed a film titled ‘Thunichal’ with Arun Vijay in the lead in the year 2008. He also stated that though the Censor Board had cleared the film, Arun Vijay had ‘purposely’ delayed the release of the film by not completing his portion of the ‘dubbing’ work. As he had spent Rs.2 crores till date, the producer told Vijay that he couldn't continue to shoot the film. Meanwhile, he was asked by the actor to release Thunichal after his ‘Malai Malai’ released. Due to his non-cooperation, instead of releasing ‘Thunichal’ in 160 theatres, I could release the film only in 16 theatres on 1 January this year, said Kalidoss. Due to this, I incurred a loss of Rs.1.5 crores, he added. "Due to the mental harassment I had to endure because of Arun Vijay, I couldn’t continue my profession as a doctor for the past 4 years. Vijay has to pay me Rs.1.5 crores and till he does so, the release of his ‘Maanja Velu’ should be stayed till the 19th of this month," he had stated in the petition [19] Dr. Mohan, producer of ‘Maanja Velu’ and father-in-law of Arun Vijay, had filed a counter petition with the Court praying for vacation of the stay on the grounds that he, as a producer, had nothing to do with Dr. Kalidoss’ case and requested that as such, his film should be allowed to release on the stipulated date. Advocate G. Murugesh Kumar, who appeared on behalf of Dr. Mohan in the court of Mr. Justice T. S. Sivagnanam, managed to putforth his point of view strongly before the Judge and said that Dr. Kalidoss had ‘wrongly informed’ the Court in the matter. As soon as the Judge announced that he'd be giving the verdict based on the ‘actual nature’ of the case, Dr. Kalidoss is said to have ‘withdrawn’ his petition from the Court. Following this, the Judge dismissed the petition and said that the film could release on 21 May as per its original schedule. [20]

Critical response

The soundtrack was released to generally positive reviews. Behindwoods said, "there is nothing in the album that will make it stand up for itself". [22] Milliblog said, "getting 3 decent tracks in a masala potboiler soundtrack is a huge win indeed". [23] Indiaglitz said, "Over all, the music of maanja velu will definitely be chart busters and the music will have a wide reach. Mani Sharma, has used the tunes of his hit songs in Telugu in this album, which would surely appeal even to the Tamil audience". [24]

Release

The satellite rights of the film were sold to Kalaignar. The film was given an "A" certificate by the Indian Censor Board and released on 21 May 2010 alongside Magane En Marumagane , Kanagavel Kaaka , Kutti Pisasu , Kola Kolaya Mundhirika and Kutrapirivu . [25]

Reception

Box office

The film has seen an above average opening with total collections running up to Rs.18 lakhs and weekend collections at Rs.3,38,177 in second week. [26] After that, weekend saw Rs. 4,22,307 drawn in its favor with Rs. 26 lakhs over the last weeks. [27] Rs. 1,76,967 was made by the film this weekend with Rs.32 lakhs spanning over 3 weeks. [28] Total collections in Chennai was Rs. 26 lakhs. [29] Overall trade pundits declared the film as "decent hit" due to the medium budget it was produced on.

Critical response

Sify said, "On the whole director Venkatesh has dished out an average run of the mill mass masala cocktail which is quite entertaining in the first half but fizzles out in the second half with a predictable long drawn out climax". [30] Behindwoods said, "Maanja Velu is an entertainer that aims to satisfy all types of audiences and A. Venkatesh has managed to create a screenplay that takes care of all requirements. But, there is a feeling that the full potential of the script has not been realized. It is still a decent entertainer which can be watched especially for its wonderful casting". [31] Times of India said, "The one thing that strikes you about Maanja Velu is what a talent house Tamil cinema has been. As you watch the parade of the seniors like Karthik, Prabhu, Vijaykumar and Vagai Chandrasekhar you feel glad that they came up with good, great, moving or simply lovable performances in the past. It does a lot to ease the heart burn caused by the so-called earthy cinema that we have been treated to for months and months now. Where you saw plenty of victims of circumstances on display, but so very lacking in angst that you came away from the movie without any emotional connect". [32] Indiaglitz said, "A perfect one for those who love masala flicks". [33] Chennaionline said, "Maanja Velu has all the ingredients of a masala flick but the problem is that it has no novelty or neatness to impress us". [34] Top 10 cinema said, "The movie may have its reach amongst the commercial film lovers, who have no regards for logics". [35]
