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.

5 Forgotten Tamil movies (70's 80's 90's) to watch during this lock down available in Youtube

Image
There used to be days when I used to watch a movie twice, thrice or even five times in a theatre. Every one growing up watching Rajini, Kamal would definitely agree; Aboorva sagotharargal, Batsha, Kadhalukku mariyathai or many to name it.  It may be completely not possible today with the schedule and the amount of new content which streams before you. Some movies bring nostalgic moments when they are telecasted today. For example, I usually have it with Bombay, I remember watching it atleast 30-40 times in theatres in and around Tirunelveli. I have rehashed some of Tamil movies which is available in Youtube today which you should watch it again.  These were some of the movies which gave huge inspirations to film makers, script writers or be it any one loves cinema like me. Test it , first 15 minutes of any these movies and I bet you will sure complete the whole movie. There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands out even today. Unn

With Silambattam Simbu needs a hit badly and he does what he knows the best.Dance and Action. Silambattam is a out and out Tamil Masala movie shot in a village atmosphere.Incidentally the Tamil cinema is able to break the Friday lucky day to release this movie on Thursday. Silambattam is the same old Family revenge story. Vichu ( Simbu ) is an innocent temple priest who is brought up by his grandfather ( Nedumudi Venu ) as a coward. in a village.His grandfather hides him from knowing the past.He comes to know about his father Tamilarasan who was Killed twenty years ago in a family riot by a young boy Thuraisingh . Prabu who is the brother of Tamil finds Vichu and Vichu turns as Tamil and takes revenge. First and foremost of this movie that this movie can win is because of Music and some versatile choreography , Yuvan and Simbu combination has worked again and this time it’s a youth package with some great variety of dancing from Simbu . Simbu has displayed his maturity in

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
