Seval (2008)



Hari is back for this Diwali,Last year his Vel was the winner among the horses overtaking even the well made Pollathavan.What could you say he is a winner all along in B and C centers with completely action packed and emotions sowed.This time he makes a movie with such a kind but with Bharath. One thing I have to mention before writing this review is that there were more characters in the movie than on the cinema hall.And at one particular scene there were nearly 25 characters which spoke and I am not sure how Hari handled it.
Seval is about a careless village guy Murugesan ( Bharath ) who falls in love with Parijatham (Poonam Bajwa) .Incidentally Gayathri (Simran) ,sister of Poonam marries Prem .Simran falls with Cancer and before her death she gets Poonam’s acceptance that Poonam should get married with Prem.Bharath and Poonam sacrifice their love for Simran.Unfortunate events occur for Parijatham and two people in the village lust for Parijatham.Bharath decides to take revenge on those two and the lovers unite after years .

Such a lousy story line with some sensitive issues of widow and usual commercial masala.Seval is a kind of movie which has a very irritating aspects in all departments from characters,story line ,dialogues.You can not love even a single aspect of the movie.First thing is that the movie is lengthy .Second thing some old formula of Village Chairman’s lust on heroine.Does Hari ever realise that his movie should unfold from this method.Usually Hari movie has some good action sequences and some good chases atleast which is missing.Atleast he could have spilled those things to make it watchable.

Bharath aiming for a hit has fallen as a prey here.His performance and the newcomer Poonam’s performance is good but on a very bad stage. Simran on a come back ? Such a very normal character for a good actress.Vadivelu irritates on screen along with Bharath.We see Sampath occupying most of the villain roles nowadays !

Hari should stick to his usual things or he should not try these kind of rotten story lines as the movie looks miserable to watch right through.There were many characters and many twists but all in vain.This is suppose to be the dreadful Diwali by far I knew for the past twenty years.

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...
