The Legend movie review

Story:

Saravanan completes his doctorate in Microbiology in Tel Aviv University, where his accomplishment is tremendously applauded by the University. He returns to his native place in India.

The whole village celebrates his return.  Saravanan’s traditionally rich family runs colleges and hospitals since British era with the sole purpose of serving the needy and hence to continue with the family tradition of serving the students, Saravanan continues his research while teaching in their college.

During this time, Saravanan is disturbed that his friend Thirupathi and his family are suffering from an illness. When Thirupathi succumbs to his disease, his wife gives birth to a baby girl.

But when Saravanan comes to know that the baby itself is again suffering from the same illness, he determines to find an alternative solution for the medicine which is commonly used to treat the disease.

What happens next and what are the problems that Saravanan has to face during this journey forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Saravanan has given his all for the role and gets to do everything that a commercial hero does. He fights, romances, dances and delivers punch dialogues.

He has made a decent debut as an action hero. Urvashi Rautela gets to play an important role and performs well. Rest of the cast including Nasser, Vijayakumar, Devadarshini, Sachu and Thambi Ramaiah have all done their part well.

Director duo JD-Jerry have packed the movie with commercial elements. However, the writing could have been better as the storyline is not too strong.

The movie is technically sound with Harris Jayaraj giving it all in the background score and cinematographer Velraj giving bright visuals.

Rating: 3.3/5
