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:***

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. Arjun and Vadivel com...
