Uyarthiru 420

                  Uyarthiru 420 Movie

After Pa Vijay, it's now the turn of lyricist Snehan to try his act on screen playing the lead role. In 'Uyarthiru 420', he has chosen to play a conman rather than a hero flexing muscles and uttering punch dialogues.

Directed by Premnath, the film speaks about a cheater, who deceives everyone for a purpose. Thamizh (Snehan) is a conman, who makes quick money after making everyone fall as his prey. One day, he comes across Iyal (Meghna) and cheats her to make some gain.

In the meantime, Rishvanth (Vaseegaran) runs a five-star hotel. He has great ambitions, but he sustains huge loss in the business. His board of directors gives him a final chance of six months to set things right or wind up the business.

Thamizh joins his hotel as general manager. Though a commoner, he gives his best for the job. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Iyal. As it happens, Rishvanth is challenged by Jagan Pattabiraman (Jayaprakash), a greedy but influential journalist.

Thamizh steps in to help his boss. Rishvanth's secret marriage with his lover and a popular actress Devatha (Akshara) is scandalized by Jagan in his newspaper. It spells trouble in Rishvanth's life.

Thamizh plans big and saves Rishvanth's life and also helps him overcome his debts and at the same time teaches a lesson to Jagan, and how he does is what that forms the rest of the plot.

Snehan plays his part well. Premanth has penned the script to Snehan's strength. He has romance, action and humour to handle in the movie.

Vaseegaran plays a key role making a comeback. He is tailor-made for the character of suave and rich businessman. Meghna plays a bubbly young girl. Jayaprakash adds strength to the film with his portrayal. He is impressive and carries his role well.

Shankar's cinematography capturing Malaysia is good, while Mani Sharma has come up with some loud songs. Premanth has ensured that the movie has less dull moments. However there are many logical lapses that may take away the interest. Produced by Rich India Talkies, 'Uyarthiru 420' is more like a curate's egg.
