Cast: Abhinay , Kanishka , Aamna , 'Venniradai' Murthy
If nothing else, the recent Thulluvadho Ilamai is definitely a trendsetter. It had nothing going for it barring the bold theme and the sex and its success has raised the notion that sex sells. Even if exaggerated, the movie could be credited for boldness in its depiction of goings-on in our schools and hiding a message inside. The flip side is that, its success leads to movies like Jjunction(looks like the director needs a lesson in English spellings too apart from filmmaking!) which bank solely on glamour and vulgarity to try and recover the obviously low investment.
Kannan(Abhinay) and Jennifer(Aamna) are classmates. Though their initial encounters are unpleasant, they eventually fall in love with each other. Kannan is a huge fan of actress Meera(Kanishka), going as far as to feed the poor on her birthday. Meera too is a social do-gooder, helping the poor and the orphaned whenever she gets a chance. Kannan gets the chance of a lifetime when he wins a contest and gets to spend a day with Meera. Kannan and Meera eventually become good friends but soon, Meera falls for him and reveals this to Jennifer too.
The environment in Jjunction is once again the kind of college that exists only in Tamil movies. The guys here always spend their time in groups, smoking, drinking, teasing the girls and making fun of the teachers. Studying is the last thing on their minds and they never go to class. If at all they do, it is only to poke fun at the professor. The girls wear skimpy dresses and never mind the teasings of the guys, however vulgar they may be, unless ofcourse the guy making fun is the villain. The professors and teachers cut a sorry figure, bearing the brunt of the students' bullying and yet occasionally spouting dialogs praising the same students.
Abhinay too is the typical college guy, whiling away his time at the movies, teasing the girls and fighting with Aamna. But as is the norm in such colleges, Aamna falls in love with him. As if this were not enough, we also have the most popular actress in the state falling for him. And the reason? He wants to sleep with her but backs out when she asks him to choose between sex and friendship! She actually rationalizes his actions for him! Once I saw the college environment, I never expected the romance in the movie to be logical or even cute (Kaadhal Azhivadhillai, which had the same kind of college is still fresh in my mind) but the proceedings here are plain ridiculous.
We are also led through an unnecessary death(due to love failure) that is supposed to reform the villain though how the girl fell for the guy is by itself a mystery. These portions take up so much time that we have pretty much run out of patience by the time the movie reaches the real story, the love triangle. But the proceedings after that too do nothing to shake us out of our slumber. They are cinematic, silly and completely predictable.
Abhinay is definitely not cut out to be a hero and it is quite silly watching him dance and fight. It is difficult to distinguish between new faces Aamna and Kanishka most of the time. They are both thin, lack acting skills and compete with each other only in minimising the amount of clothes they wear. 'Venniradai' Murthy, usually the Tamil professor in such movies, gets 'promoted' to playing the principal but that doesn't prevent him from acting silly and vulgar. Bharadwaj's tunes dont make an impact since we are laughing at the picturisation of the songs instead(Abhinay and Aamna slapping their own and each other's rear ends and then rubbing them with painful expressions is a dance step in one of the songs!).
