Oram Po

After being jostled about in autos in almost every metro in India it is evident that the driving skills of the auto-drivers in Madras are a touch about the rest. This film proceeds to highlight that very fact. Chandru (Arya) is a footloose and fancy auto-wallah with some serious skillz. His heart soon starts to beat in rhythm with that of Rani (Pooja - Warning: sultry and dusky hotness ahead). Throw in a money thirsty Seth, some missing precious stones, couple of feuding auto mechanics, a few crazy races and you have a flick that will leave you in splits.

Filled with Madras Tamil slang, the folks who grew up in Madras will enjoy it a tad bit more. The highlight of the film though is "evil" mechanic Son of Gun played with great aplomb by John Vijay. But even more sweeter is the fact that the film is directed by "our own" Pushkar and Gayatri with a panache that is missing from Tollywood.

Rating: * * +
