Stars: Ajith, Laila, Suresh Gopi, Nagma
Music: Yuwan Shankar Raja
Director: MurugadasGreat pains have been taken to portray Ajith as the ultimate action hero in 'Deena'. Wearing a costume made largely of metal, the hero literally sweats it out to live up to this image and has succeeded to a good extent.
Murugadas, making his directorial debut, has handled an ordinary story with extraordinary flair and this is the saving grace in an otherwise insipid film. The fledgling director is in his element when handling love scenes also but seems a trifle confused deciding whether this is an action flick or romantic film! Ultimately, though, the stunt master triumphs.
Popular Malayalam film actor Suresh Gopi's spontaneous acting is an asset to this film. Laila doles out glamour and acting in equally large doses (surprise!) but Nagma steals the show from right under her nose by sizzling in her guest appearance in the song, 'Vathi kuchhi'. Nagma can now safely make a comeback.
This is a film made by a young team. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is commendable. Ajith, who encourages promising new talent, has given Murugadas a good opportunity to prove himself. If this young director concentrates more on the script, he can carve a permanent niche for himself.
