Bommalattam (2008)
To my surprise there were no movie halls in Chennai which showed Bommalattam 4 shows .All the halls showed only morning shows or the afternoon shows which was very difficult for me to make it at the first two weeks.Some how I managed this Saturday at Satyam .People said Bharathiraja is back with Bommalattam.He is one of the undisputed legend of Tamil Cinema and when some promos about this movie came I wasn’t much interested as I felt both Bharathiraja and K.B had lost their midas touch .Bommalattam could have been a landmark movie if some of the things were looked with different trend.Bommalattam proves why Bharathiraja is a legend in movie making.And Bommalattam is about The man NanaPatekar and its him who had given the undeniable power till the end. Bommallattam is about Successful movie Director Rana ( Nanapatekar) who is suspected by Cops for death of new comer Krishna who incidentally plays the heroine in Rana’s movie.CBI officer interrogates Rana and seeks explanation for the mur...
Ghajini (2008)
I didn’t manage to grab the tickets of Ghajini because of many reasons but when one of my friend called me to watch it on the first day, I thought I was lucky because the black tickets were selling at 300 /-.Ghajini the movie which made waves in Tamil is a stylish and neatly made movie for many reasons.Asin’s humour and the elegance of Sanjay Ramasamy played by Surya and the ferocity and intensitly of Surya made this movie a blockbuster three years ago.Ghajini when remade in to Hindi with Aamir Khan by the same director everybody expects a great work.But I am very disappointed to say that it failed to live up to the expectations which it earned through promos and the team’s calibre. Ghajini is a scene by scene ,dialogue by dialogue remake of the Tamil Ghajini till the climax.Superbly stylish Sanjay Singhania falls in love with small time model Kalpana concealing his real name and position.Ghajini is the revenge of Sanjay Singhania’s revenge on the person who killed Kalpana.In Hindi th...
Abhiyum Nanum (2008)
When RadhaMohan’s Mozhi released it was a revelation in Tamil cinema for its presentation and feel good factor it adhered. The magic of Mozhi was because of Performances , sensational dialogues ,screenplay and Music.Here the movie has a feel good factor but where are the dialogues ,Music,Characters which are needed for this movie.I was surprised to see Radhamohan movie with such a very normal screenplay.The movie fails to find the momentum due to very bleakly defined characters. Raghuram loves his daughter Abi and he is possessive about her ,Anu who is the wife of Raghu is a bold and practical .The story is told from the child hood of Abhi from the day she is born till to present day where she is married.This is about a emotions of a father who finds difficult to accept the growth and changes of his daughter.He finds tough to accept Joginder Singh who Abi loves and wants to marry.When he understands his daughter he realises his childlike behaviour . Prakash Raj in a very controlled and...
Silambattam (2008)
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...
Rab Ne Bane Di Jodi (2008)
Whats wrong with Aditya Chopra.Its been thirteen years that he gave his first movie the phenomenoly loved movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.Then now he gives his third movie Rab De Bane Di Jodi with lots of expectation .But is such a ridiculous and it’s a pain to watch the movie from the director who has directed DDLJ and Mohabatein . I am sorry to say I struggled to stay till the end but some how managed to watch it. The story is about ordinary couple Surender Sahni and Taani who get married due to destiny and they struggle to find love and show each other .Its about their love and how Surender Sahni a soft spoken working class guy wins Taani’s heart.Taani’s interest in dancing makes Surender disguises himself as Raj a freaky guy to participate in a reality show Jodi No: 1 with her .I am not sure the what the director wanted to tell but it was a third rate movie story which can not be excused at any cause. Sharukh Khan is the king of Bollywood no denials on that .But you can not make ...
Poo (2008)
Don’t surprise me with these kind of movies.After a month long holiday to movies I experienced a good and poetic movie in Tamil.First and foremost thing about this movie is that you need to forget the pace and style which the movie goes on.Its a new avenue what Director Sasi had looked at and I loved for the many things.Poo is a poetry and you need to read it to understand and enjoy ,because its made with a style so close to reality. Poo is inspired by Tamilselvan ’s short story Veyilodu poi .Its about a young woman Mari ( Parvathy )who loves her Thangarasu ( Srikanth ) from her childhood.Its about how dreams of three persons confront each other for a man and its about the love which lives and struggles with in a woman for a man .We are shown with Mari living happily with her husband in the initial scenes and rushing to her native place to see her Thangarasu ,We don’t have any clue what this Mari is made of ! Is it innocence,cranky,mad in love or dignified love ?Slowly we get to ...
