Ratings

I had a concern about the rating I give to the movies,even some of m y friends also have.For instance My friend asked me why I gave equal weightage for Pollathavan and Kannamoochi Enada! I feel that was a mistake on my evaluation .Some movies were over valued and some are undervalued.I don’t give much importance to commercial success to the movie as it carries no sense for a viewer like me.I give due importance to substance of the movie.Oram Po for instance is rated strictly on the efforts look cool and nothing more.Same way my friend argued me that I had give underrating for OSO ,I agree it is a underrated .The movie is a piece of waste according to me .I make this valuations only on my experience with the movie taking for granted that I enjoy the movie truly and Don’t watch it with lame expressions.

Criticism as such is always subjective. An objective review is in my idea would say "impossible". Movies which becomes acclaimed or hit is basically that lot of subjectiveness is been addressed widely. A review will be subjective because it is an individual perspective. No one puts a stamp on something and say this is the standard. That justs denies the concept of creativity as such. Its automatic human tendency to think that "if I like, it should be good and it is the best" and when some one defends a movie for an argument than a discussion, they are arguing for them, not for the movie :-). This opinion of mine of course is subjective :-P. No offense, just a thought :-).

Don't want to debate about the ratings you give, but just wanna say that "OSO" was "SO SO". That movie is not even worth a review.

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
