Thoongavanam
Kamal Haasan who
is the king of action
and he carried
the film on his
shoulders. He has
taken enough care
in carving out his
character and he
performed to the
peaks. Trisha has
been decent in the
short and crisp role.
Story
Cheekati Raajyam is the story
of Diwakar (Kamal Haasan) who
works as a Chief for Narcotics
Bureau. He handles an operation
to catch the corrupted in the
department. In this process he
catches a gang who are exporting
drugs and Vittal Rao (Prakash
Raj) who is a goon in the city is
the best drug supplier. He kidnaps
Diwakar’s son Vasu and in returns
he asks him to bring the drug
packets caught. The rest of the
film is how Diwakar saves his
son killing all the corrupted ones.
Watch the complete film to know
about the rest.
Analysis :
The first half of the film has been
quite interesting and has been
narrated well. The suspense has
been maintained throughout with
the performances taking the film
to the next level. The background
score elevated the important
episodes well and the complete first
half has been satisfactory.
The second half of the movie
has nothing much to do as the
complete plot has been revealed
during the first half. Some of the
scenes have been dragged too
much and the director missed the
main logics that made the film fall
flat. The pre climax and the climax
episodes have not been interesting.
On the whole the second half is a
disappointment.
Final Word:
Cheekati Rajyam has an engaging
and interesting first half. But
the second half of the film is the
spoiler. A predictable thriller.
