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 : **

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)

Image
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...
