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

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.
