Tamizh Padam (2010) ***

Image
Siva and Amudhan make a great combination on screen with their spoof.Tamizh Padam a full length spoof on Tamil cinema over the years makes you to laugh ,laugh and laugh.Its a non stop express of fun till the end.Tamizh Padam succeeds with its harmless fun and performances.You should really have the real guts to make a spoof out of some of the greatest acheivement and performances,and Tamizh padam does it with a harmless screenplay. Siva the saviour of the world orginates from no where ,he falls in love with a Priya .He earns one rupee more than his father in law with in minutes and he goes in search of his family with a family song ,he clears a group of mobs and at last he lands to end the laugh riot.Every character in the movie is named after some of Tamizh cinema’s much loved characters. Pure fun is their intention and we keep finding the takeoff with the laughter which doesn’t stop at all.From the very first beginning till the end we cannot find even a single second which ma...

Goa ( 2010) * * 1/2

Over confidence or lack of thought ! what ever you name Venkat Prabu hasn’t delivered ! You have to agree the movie is a laugh riot but is there a interesting plot ? Nope! You sit in the hall expecting some thing to happen and end of the day you return back with nothing.Goa is a Venkat Prabu Holiday as he calls but with no agenda and no directions.He just travels and comes back home with a group of funny people around. Samikannu ( Premji) ,Vinayagam( Jai),Ramarajan ( Vaibhav) escapes from their village robbing the jewels of their village temple .Some incidents motivate them to fly to Goa in an intention to marry a foreigner and get married.Premji succeeds in love but the others get directed on their hunt.Nothing happens .and in the end Nothing happens.Its the story of three villagers arriving at Goa for an intention. Making a movie with funny characters wouldn’t make a interesting movie.Goa has some good spoofs but how long Venkat Prabu will be driving this show? I had to convince ...

Guest Column by Sabhari - Ayirathil Oruvan

Ayirathil Oruvan has been drawing lots of positive reviews and equal negative reviews.From all the persons I have heard nobody was neutral about the movie.This review is done by one of my friend Sabhari ,who has a keen interest on Movies and equally amazing knowledge on movies..This is a guest review on Ayirathil Oruvan to know the other side opinion on movie which I liked. Thanks Sabari for the review --- Karthik K Hyping up a movie by filming it for years together & following it up with good marketing has become the order of the day. One more young & innovative director falls prey to this tactics and he’ll definitely feel bad after looking back at his attempt. Just like any other movie-goer who has seen “Kaadhal Kondaen”, “7G Rainbow colony”, “Pudhupettai” I too had great expectations for the movie. But this one did not only let me down, but has also made me develop an aversion towards this avid film maker. The premise of the movie – a team of archaeologists (Reema Sen, Andr...

Ayirathil Oruvan (2010) ****

Wow is the word I would say for Selvaragavan for his script and imagination.Dont dig into the histories this movie matches the expectation and hype it created.Ayirathil Oruvan is a dream movie for any director and Selva breaks his silence with his powerful creation.There are many many loop holes but still this chozha epic puts us back to 9 centuries where the Chozha culture ruled the south east Asia. Movie starts with a Chozha and Pandia War in 1279AD where Chozha king goes leaving his kingdom to Vietnam.In the present day Dr.Lavanya (Andrea) and Anitha (Reema Sen) goes in search of where abouts of the Chozha tressures with the government aided team which is assisted by Coolie Karthi.The team lands in the island and till the moment they reach the destination we are spell bound by the imagination and the magical work of Selvaragavan. Movie completely belongs to Selvaragavan,It takes enormous guts to make a movie about War,Ancient history,Culture, present day ,Any producer wou...
