Tamizh Padam (2010) ***


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 makes you feel they have slipped in their screenplay.The second half was looking ordinary in the imagination but the last ten minutes did the patchworks.When the Mouna Ragam Karthik Character arrives you can really feel how the character is still loved by tamil cinema and same is how Kandasamy is hated.You have Thalapathy,Run,Boys,A.R.Rehman,Kakha Kakha,Padayappa what not every movie today and yesterday has been invited for the party.

Movie wins because of Siva.Siva’s appearance as the innocent young guy brings the laughter even at the so called serious scene.This guy can pen even good movies in the future.I still believe the magic of Saroja is because of Siva.You can not stop hitting the front seat guy out of laughter during the Bharathanatyam scene which he learns in one night ( scene copied from Kathalan ) and during the Kakha Kakha scene.Tamizh Padam team has a comical performance from Vennirai adai Moorthy,Mano Bala,MS Bhaskar,Periar thasan.Paravai Muniamma.

We feel used with the spoof halfway through the movie that makes a dull phase in the movie.You have to completely forget the logic and loyalties to enjoy this movie .You would do it absolutely.Tamizh padam tells us how droning we have been in many movies,how repetetive our characters were,how we forget logic when we make movies,how we blindly follow stars.Thats a good note for this movie.End of the movie you would not be able to tell the story but sure you will feel satisfied for the movie.Definitely you wouldn’t regret it.Thorough entertainment guaranteed.

Rating:***

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
