Katcheri Aarambam (2010) * 1/2


What the hell has happened to Jeeva??? Did he really wanted to act in this movie.It looked a thorough entertainer like SMS.But sadly exactly after a year of SMS Katcheri Arambam comes from Jeeva and it makes a very normal rather a boring movie .I always believed Jeeva is the finest actor among the young breeds but just that he isn’t being lucky enough to draw the big Directors.Even the Mediocre production value SMS was a huge entertainer because of Jeeva and Santhanam .No body could deny it is one of the best movie of last year .Katcheri Arambam becomes a usual commercial movie with Masala ,Don but told in a lighter manner.

Paari ( Jeeva ) falls in love with Mathi ( Poonam Baweja) from the moment he lands in Chennai.Mathi is being chased by Sivamani ( Chakravarthy ) who is a Don of Chennai.He forces her to marry him and he tortures and harms the people who even speaks to Mathi.Paari plays a plot to get his love .End the Villain gets Gyaan through a lengthy dialogue.

There are some very good one liners in the scenes apart from that we cant even sit after the interval.First one hour the movie entertains with Jeeva’s fun with Vadivelu,but it’s a boring affair after that.I almost felt like leaving the hall after some time.The movie tries to spoof some of old Tamil movies but then it becomes one of its kind to get spoofed in the midway.Sadly again Poonam Baweja looks pathetic emotionless.Chakravarthy has got a new look with hair transplanted ,He starts of as a dangerous Don then slowly the screenplay makes him a joker.Sad to look at Sathya Charkarvarthy in these type of roles.

These would be a commercial average hit and it falls in the genre of Padikkathavan ,Jeeva has pumped lots of energy to speak through out in this movie.Surprised to see how RB Chaudry got convinced to make a movie from the Debut Director Thiraivanna and that too with this story line.

There is a dialogue in this movie a translation of a Tamil proverb “ Difficult Difficult Temple Going there one Difficult, Restless & Jing Jing Dancing “ It goes out well with this movie.

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
