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 myself that I would not be disappointed by this team .This movie doesn’t deserve to be compared with Chennai 600028 nor the funny thriller Saroja.This is a different presentation like a video album or a documentry but not a movie with a story.Venkat’s intention to make the audience laugh gets a hit but where lies the grip in the movie to deliver a success is a big ??? Because the movie tests the patience badly.45 mins in the movie there were three songs and for what ? No reason!

Its Jai who is very impressive among the three.You can not stop laughing at his English.He has matured as an actor atlast.Premji the same funny,mocked up but this time he gets a girl and he follows the parody in the same repetitive manner.Sampath has mocked on a film personality so aptly, that I was awestruck on his modulation of voice and performance.Arvind is a surprise package in the movie.Sneha builds a suspense but it fads away so badly.

This movie is Dil Chahta Hain meets Hang over but in a very very wobbly manner.Movie had a great momentum to start with at Pannaipuram ,it builds with the continous laughter but when the need to deliver arrived Venkat took a vaccation.He forgot he is making a movie.Highly predictable and not at all infectious.His previous movie had repeat viewing because they werent predictable and they were infectious.Goa is a typical vaccation with no harm ,you can enjoy many moments but don’t dig for any intelligence or twists! You will burst in many scenes ,you will be disappointed in the way.

Goa is a entertainer to extent,lesson to Venkat Prabu and a hit for it expectations !

Rating : **1/2

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
