Kumki the debut film of the Vikram Prabhu ( grand son of legend Shivaji ganesan and son of prabhu ) having pressure to perform well has done a very decent work in this venture. The film about a Elephant and its mahout and their story when they accidently happen to become an kumki to attack an wild elephant. The story goes in an very interesting manner.
The story starts with the wild Elephant ( Komban ) attacking the people of Aadhi kadu tribal village people who live there for more than 200 years, Most of the forests being hunted the elephant was forced to move to this forest. The people of the village who doesn’t want to move from their place think to hire a Kumki elephant ( an well trained elephant to attack the wild elephant ).
Vikram prabhu ( Bomman ) is a mahout and Manickam is his elephant , Thambi ramaiah is bomman’s uncle . They lead the life by the elephants work such as temple and other purposes . An incident occurs where manickam is forced to go as the kumki to Aadhi kadu where the komban’s attack is expected anytime. Bomman comes to the village and meets Lakshmi menon ( Alli ) who is the daughter of the village head and falls in love with her which makes him stay in the village. The rest of the story is about their love and Komban waiting to attack the village. Will manickam win the battle and bomman gets alli forms the end of story.
The Main asset of the film is thambi ramaiah without whom the film would not have such a great treat. He has done a very great job more than a supporting character. And the next mention would be the elephant which has been trained well ,the locations are refreshing and background music is good.
The Director has again did a very good job after the previous hit Myna but the songs are slowing down the screen play , The number of songs can be reduced. The hero and heroine have done a very good job in the film. thambi ramaiah has another chance for the best supporting role awards .
The film will be treat for the eyes which is an different film from usual and can be rated a 4 out of 5.
