New York (2009)



Newyork is what they call in Hindi as Bakwas in its script. FBI detained many of the Muslims in U.S as suspects and tortured them ,Later released with lack of evidence.In that task many were innocent muslims.Here in Newyork FBI detains a innocent man but watches and plays undercover with a man who is evidently confirmed as terrorist.The whole plot and intention is lost there.

Omar ( Neil Nithin Mukesh ) is detained by FBI in connection with Terrorism.Later he understands that FBI wants him to play the undercover to find Sameer ( John Abraham) who is his collage mate who is married Maya ( Katrina Kaif) who is also Omar’s friend.Kabir khan’s movie claims to have researched a lot about the 9/11 events and the detainment activities carried out by FBI but its left in vain by the very weak screenplay and plot.

Neil Nithin Mukesh is in trouble from the beginning of the movie but he manages to put a show.John Abraham character is messed up totally and I am confused with his selection of movies nowadays.Irfan Khan is a cool customer and he proves here too with his interrogation.But his accent for a Bollywood movie looks very artificial.

Movie moves in a very painful pace and it kills the patience in many shots.Though its brought in very true intention the movie doesn’t have the strength to prove the point against .Movie is confused in its construction,its in a dilemma to be a Bollywood style or as a very serious style.It never strikes chord in both the sides.Movie has very normal dialogues which really makes this movie a boring affair.

I wasn’t convinced with the intentions nor the performances though the team wanted to present a reality which happens in every part of the world against Muslims.Kabir Khan fails miserably in his intentions to bring that due to lack of nerve and depth in screenplay.It looks a very serious disaster for a viewer like me.

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...
