Sarvam (2009)



I think this movie is meant for the breaking the hangover from NanKadavul for Arya.Because this has nothing else to offer for us.The costumes looks stylish from Anuvardhan and some usual romance in the firsthalf which entertains us and the amazingly intense camera of Neerav Shah.Vishnu Vardhan disappoints his return with Sarvam.

Movie has traces of inspiration from Hollywood flick 21 grams but it’s a Kollywood version all together.Karthik ( Arya )an architect falls in love with Dr. Sandhya ( Trisha ) and follows her persistently to get her acceptance.When Sandhya accepts his love , it doesn’t live long ,Sandhya dies in an accident.Chakravarthy a former football coach roams in search of Naushad and his kid Iman to take revenge for the death of his son who dies in an accident where Naushad is involved.Iman gets the heart of Sandhya through a heart transplantation and Karthik comes in for rescue of Iman from Chakravarthy.

Arya looks stunning after we had seen in the much spoken Naan Kadavul.Arya carries the first half with his comic romance and in the second half he doesn’t have much to offer but to run.Trisha has a very brief role.Chakravarthy in a much expected role goes as a psychopath killer who along with his dog Bruce spend their time in the movie by searching whereabouts of Iman.The movie as a whole is restricted to ten characters where we don’t see much of drama nor thrill to carry till the end.

Neerav shah has been maintaining his stylish camera work with Vishnuvardhan.His visuals speak for his work and its refreshing to watch Munnar and dark woods through his lens.If I had to speak about the music ,I have to literally abuse Yuvan Shankar raja for choosing his singers.The song “ siragugal vandhu “ is the most pathetically pronounced song in the entire Tamil cinema history.I can not digest the words “ “Ulugum “ when its spelt though it had a good tune.

Vishnu vardhan could have made this movie little more interesting with the chases as its restricted to very little characters and it has no edging sequences.The much expected character Bruce Dog also is just a publicity.Movie slows down in the second half and its predictable in major parts.I am disappointed with Sarvam.

Rating : **

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
