Oram Po(2007)

Image
There is a peculiar language for Auto drivers and a separate world for Auto drivers Where entry is not easy for commoners. Auto drivers life has never been told in a humorous way and never told with light heart.Oram Poo is a effort to bring the humour side of Auto drivers across the city .I was tempted to choose Oram poo ahead of Rameshwaram starring Jeeva was for two reasons.1.Because of the fantastic trailer of Oram Poo and 2.To watch this movie in Adlabs.Since I was in Madurai I wanted to experience Adlabs, So guys Madurai has got the first Adlabs cinema hall in Tamil Nadu. Oram Poo is a humour drive from the start to end ,the story nor the screenplay does not care about life in a bigger way.The movie itself lives for the moment and never takes forward unless the mean is told.In the sense every character of the movie carries a level of humourous act.A typical Auto-rickshaw racing between two rival gangs in the Chennai city.Chandru ( Arya ) ,auto driver is an unbeatable auto racer i

8 seconds (1994)

When I took this movie from the library I was un aware that the game Bull riding Rodeos had to ride about 8 secs to win the game.I had watched this game in many T.V for a flash shows,but never had the chance of watching it with interest,This is about a bull rider Lane forest (Luke Perry) .The story is based on the life of Lane Frost, 1987 PRCA Bull Riding World Champion and his life. The appreciation from Lane’s Father becomes unachievable for Lane Forest but the victories follow him in terms of world championships and his friend(Stephen Baldwin) stand aside of him losing when he wins who lives and ends his life for the game. I was expecting some nail biting scenes since it was a based on a game.But from the scene one Lane forest was winning in all the rides he participates and obviously I had a doubt if he wins all the rides and he rides for 8 secs on all the bulls then what next? I was right there should be a romance and there should be a tussle between them.There was a love between

Johnny Gaddar (2007)

Johnny Gaddar is a real good work by Sriram Raghavan and to start with it’s a fantastic thriller and there is a definite show of difference from Hindi movies.The movie starts off and ends with the same scene but it was cleverly shown in a non linear manner twice to drag the knot . Johnny Gaddar is a fast paced thriller and inteleginetly made with relatively new actors in most of the role except Dharmendra .Vikram (Neil Nitin Mukesh ) ,Seshadri (Dharmendra),Prakash(Vinay Pathak) ,Shradul (Zakir Hussain ) ,Siva (Daya shetty ) all performing illicit deals plans for raising money to hand over to a Police officer.Vikram plans alternatively against the group in a secret manner to extort the money and flee away.Vikram grabs the money from Siva and murders him.Now the set up is between Money and the Group to find where it is.Vikram plays along the group till the climax to run away with the money to live with Shradul’s Wife Rimi Sen. This movie is remarkable in many ways it does not carry any

Om shanti Om (2007)

I don’t understand still two things 1.Why do Hindi Films are celeberated as the Brand Indian Cinema 2.Why do Hindi film makers make fun of Tamil cinema .Let me sound so simple this is not for taking the Hindi movies for Criticism ,I really like watching Hindi films but Tamil films in a categorical way is much superior in the recent past.I don’t have to mention the names,I do accept the industry of south is sticking to a formulae which is irritating but still there are movies which adds up the equity of the industry.Hindi films can not be compared with Tamil films ;Hindi movie makers are good marketers whereas Tamil movie makers are good creators so there should be a obvious outlook of different prespective .The above is a opinion about a particular scene in Om shanti Om where Sharukh Khan plays as a Tamil actor (In one shot) Lets come to the movie .How could I stop going to movie when I heard good reviews about the movie all around.I am was deceived once again. Sharukh Khan and Far

Kannamoochi enada (2007)

Why some of the directors in tamil been branded as A class audience directors?For example Gautham Menon,Rajiv Menon,Kathir,Now Priya and many more to come .Does any one have answer for it .Simple reason being they copy cat Hollywood movies which comman audience do not watch.They pull the main plot so carefully or they pull some of the potent scene from it ,For example Mystic river investigation scene and Vetayadu Vilayadu investigation scene and Seven’s Climax scene and famous Samal Sema scene in Kakha Kakha ,”sense and sensibility” and Kandukonden konden and now Kannamootchi enada and Meet the parents. If Director Priy claims its her own work then it’s a big lie. But she has packed in such a way that original version is not shown evidently .I was able to make out it should be inspired from Meet the parents when I saw the peculiar poster.Still Kanna Mocchi enada is a good entertainer with light comedy .the base story being the same Theivanai (Sandhya ) brings her boy friend Harish (Pri

Pollathavan(2007)

Image
Bajaj Pulsar has got a free advertisement and it’s a worthy advertisement I tell you.It goes by the caption “ Definitely Male “ and Pollathavan is daring and genuine attempt of the director Vetrimaran and it shows frame by frame for his knowledge he tries to show in his maiden attempt.Worth celeberating movie for this Diwali among the releases is Pollatavan .Amidst all sort opposition I choose this movie and I was totally impressed by director’s work. Vetrimaran has shown difference in screen play and characterization and that has worked out well . Prabu ( Dhanush ) is a easy going unemployed guy enjoying with his street friends Santhanam and Auto driver Karunas and cursed by his Parents Murali and Banupriya .His child hood passion is to own a Bike and he owns it after lots of drama with his dad.He proposes to his lover Divya ( Ramya ) and enjoys his life.One night he looses his bike in a crime spot and he reaches out to a categorically different stage.He finds his bike to b

Vel (2007)

First day first show for a diwali release is always exotic that too in your native place.I went for Vel and I regretted for it.At the out set it was advertised as Surya’s performance in Village character.Anticipating that when I entered ,I was totally taken for a ten years before movie. Vel if would have released in the period of Rajathi raja it would have been a big hit. Vasu and Vel (Both played by Surya as twin brothers) are separated in a train when they were one month old. Vel grows in Dindugal with Lakshmis family and Vasu grows with his parents , Vasu ’s parents Charanya and Charanraj still worries on the fatal loss of their elder son. Vasu goes in search of Vel and wins their heart and vel and vasu exchange places. Vasu fights against the Vels arch rival Kalabavan Mani and end is as usual twin brother fights against him to give a relief for the viewers. First and fore most does Director Hari is capable of making movies with out a villain.The so called tacti
