Moideen Bhai (Rajini) is a businessman who goes to Mumbai from a village where Hindus and Muslims live as brothers and sisters. His son Samsuddin (Vikrant) is trying to play Ranji cricket. Thirunavukarasu (Vishnu Vishal), the son of Rajini’s friend (Livingston), runs a cricket team in the village and accumulates success. Due to this, the village hates him, and the Koil Theerth festival is also interrupted due to the instigation of a local politician. Vishnu Vishal tries to overcome it and make a good name in the town. The rest of the story of the film is what Rajini, who is a part of all these things, does to bring about religious harmony and unity.
Aishwarya Rajinikanth, who is directing the film, can be praised for the story that has the backdrop of religious harmony, which is needed at all times. He has perfectly depicted what politics politicians do to get people’s votes, how they blow up a matter. Since the story takes place in 1993, it is a good strategy to use the events of that environment in the story. Rajini makes a special appearance throughout the film. The emphatically stated that the therth festival in a village is a festival equivalent to a festival is salutary.
A minus for the film is the confusing and dragging screenplay, despite the features of a Rajini film. Confusion could not be avoided as to whether this is a cricket-related film or a festival film. Even the cricket scenes are tiring to move without any excitement. The scenes of Vikrant, who is playing in Ranjiboti, coming to play in the series in the village lacks credibility. Vishnu – Vikrant may have given strong reasons for conflict. Scenes like 2 teams religiously in a village cricket are the director’s wild imagination. A screenplay that alternates back and forth could have focused more on continuity.
Rajini as Moideen Bhai carries the film perfectly. Mass entry in the first scene. He has given excellent performances everywhere, from reprimanding where religious harmony is talked about, to jumping for joy when his son gets a place in the Ranji team, to melting where his son’s future is ruined. Throughout the film, Vishnu Vishal is either playing cricket or fussing. Vikrant has done the work given to him. Heroine Anantika has no importance. Priest Senthil, Vishnu’s uncle Thambi Ramaiah, politician and villain Vivek Prasanna and poster Nandakumar are impressive in their performances.
Jeevita, who is Vishnu’s mother, is always weeping. Cricket legend Kapil Dev makes a guest appearance. Nirosha and KS Ravikumar have also acted.
A.R. Rahman’s music makes the songs enjoyable. Vishnu Ramasamy’s cinematography is flawless. Pravin Bhaskar could have paid more attention to the cinematography. Despite its flaws, Lal Salah can be welcomed as it is a film that speaks of religious harmony and unity.
