Ninaithale Innikkum (2009)



After watchin this movie every body will understand its not easy to remake a movie .First thing is the right script and next is the right time for a remake ! Ninaithale Innikkum disappoints in both aspects.Ninaithale Innikkum remake of the Malayalam hit Classmates tries to invent scenes for Tamil and it lets class down with a poor screenplay and with a stage which doesn’t suit Tamil Cinema.

Niniathale Innikkum is about a batch of college students ,their nostalgic moments in the past and their reunion after nine years.Sakthi ( Prithiviraj)and Vasu ( Karthik)always have problem at college between them selves and Siva is their common friend.Vasu wants to break Sakthi’s love with Meera(Priyamani) by making her stand against Siva in college election.Some unpleasant things happen and students reunite for a cause after nine years.During the reunion many truth evolve and many get answers.

College politics is a culture in Kerala and it goes very much with General politics in Kerala.Here College politics is not a big factor nowadays .I felt little difficulty in understanding the real heat of the politics which the movie tries to show.First factor is that the political things were not at all shown.Movie is a let down mainly because of this very center point ,It wasn’t not able to keep up the momentum nor it was able to produce some interest to the viewers.I was watching like a baffled looking for some thing to happen for the first forty minutes .

Prithiviraj in my words is not so impressive as he doesn’t have much to do other than some stunts and some heat arguments.One guy who was very impressive was Karthik as Vasu.His theatrical skill and training makes him one amazing actor and he proves his selection of movies.I would like to see more movies from him.Priyamani irritates through her accent .

Vijay antony has to seriously look on his background music .Movie’s camera is difinetely fresh and it gives us a great treat to watch.I wouldn’t give a thumbs for any thing in this movie other than the camera .

GNR Kumaravel should have been over confident in making some original scenes in this remake.Its not a bad idea to bring a originality in remakes but you need to have the right movie for the right stage.Also it needs to skill to make some interesting and gripping screnes to make a thriller! I forgot to mention it’s a thriller and there is a suspense in the movie which wouldn’t affect you so much .
Rating : *

This movie's director is a cousin of a very close friend of mine. I believe you were referring to GNR Kumaravel in the last para. As far as I knew, there were a lot of compromises in the movie due to pressure from the producer/financier. Screenplay was altered, comedy scenes were plugged in after the whole movie was completed and ready for screening, to name some.

But that is not an excuse from presenting a good movie.

Classmates is a movie I watch whenever I go nostalgic...it had captured the scenarios of 1992 in a very original way..the period of my study...lots of aspects in the movie is tied up with my exp as it had been my year of study too...the campus..the chapel..the KSU SFI strikes... whooah!!

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

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
