Story:

Alex Pandu (Karthi) is hired to kidnap the health minister’s daughter Anushka. Despite doing it successfully, he later changes his opinion and decides to save her. Alex stays at Santhanam house despite the latter not giving him nod and flirts with his sisters Nikita Thukral, Sanusha, and Akanksha Puri. Who hires Alex for kidnapping her and How does Alex save Anushka bashing up the goons forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Karthi looked good and he has put in loads of energy for the mass entertainer. His efforts in doing the risky stunts in the early half was worth mentioning. However, his work has gone in vain due to the uninteresting screenplay.

Anushka looked gorgeous and she has got a limited role restricted to songs most of the time. She is hardly seen in the first half.

Santhanam is the saving grace for the film. Karthi-Santhanam’s scenes have worked well in the first half. However, Santhanam’s double-entendres will not entertain family audiences. Milind Soman and Suman are okay. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis:

Saravanan’s cinematography is classy and top-class, Devi Sri Prasad’s songs are good while the background score is loud at times. Editing is inconsistent and patchy, Suraj’s direction is just okay while the screenplay is illogical and predictable. Production Values are lavish.

Analysis:

Director Suraj has put in loads of action and entertainment into the film. The first half has good number of comedy entertaining scenes between Karthi and Santhanam but the scenes are totally irrelevant to the storyline while the action part and the villain episodes looked forced. Suman and Milind Soman characterizations are poorly etched. On the other hand, there are many double meaning dialogues in the film.

The main part of the story actually begins in the second half but the narration falls flat. Bad Boy is made concentrating on the mass audiences but the fights looked out of logic and unrealistic.

Final Verdict:

Predictable Story, Illogical screenplay, Overdose of action makes Bad Boy a boring watch
