Runway (2004) User Reviews

Fine entertainer!

[Vibijithnair · 7/10 · 2 February 2014]

Runway is directed by veteran Joshi and scripted by duo Udaykrishna-Sibi.k.thomas. Script is good and not fully cliché as their previous flicks. The plot centers around Dileep(Unni/Paramashivam) who's character is intellectual rather than being stereotype action hero, he faces his crisis witty and wily. As usual there is a cat and mouse game,some action,little romance and emotions which all compel to make it a commercial mass masala entertainer as we seen in those telugu films. Performance wise Dileep countenance was good, Ashokan character was chafing and exasperating at times and rest of the cast like Kaviyoor Ponamma,Kavya,Indrajith,Murali and Jagathy(as a cameo) was good. Songs by Suresh peters were good. Direction wise Joshi successfully extract those ingredient which is necessary for mass movie.

+ve: ¤Dileep. ¤Songs. ¤Direction. ¤Screenplay.

-ve: ¤some of the scenes were cliché.

¤Must watch for Dileep fans and for masala moviegoers.For others: One time watch.

An earnest effort by Dileep to get into action films. Not much of dishum dishum. Our hero uses his brains. Muscle power is not used in this action flick.

The story. Dileep's family, which consists of his mother, brother, and sister stay in the village. They believe that Dileep is in Dubai. Everything is fine. They run their family with the money sent by Dileep. Kavya Madhavan and her father are this family's neighbors. Dileep's sister and mom like Kavya and they want her to marry Dileep.

Just before the wedding Dileep has a confession to make to Kavya. He tells her the truth that he has never been to Dubai. All the while he was in Valayar. Dileep's brother who is a inspector is trying to trace down a don from valayar. Do this don and Dileep have any connection? To crack this truth you must watch RUNWAY.

RUNWAY is a well-executed film. Cinematography by P Sukumaran is good especially in the song sequences. Music by Suresh Peters is soothing. Screenplay is loose at places. Performance wise Dileep has put in sincere efforts. Kavya as usual us good. Indrajeet is okay. Rest lend adequate support. Overall RUNWAY is a good entertainer.
