Aanmai Thavarael ( 2011) *** 1/2


,Aanmai Thavarel is a honest remake of Hollywood flick Trade.It has modulated itself to our own style. But this is one movie which has to be watched for being aware of the situation we live and move every day. The scene and the concept arent film and they daringly bring the dark shades and reality in a very explicit way.We never knew how the trafficking of women happens , we would be least bothered to know about that , why these things happen is a thing, which should be known to every one who lives away from home.

Anmai Thavarel is a search of a lover boy Vetri for his girl Yamuna who is kidnapped by a group. The group kidnap a bunch of women in the enroute to auction them online. It becomes extremely difficult for Vetri to go with the pace of Cops , as he is losing time . He gets the help of Charles Antony ( Sampath) an ex cop to save his girl , who masters the plan for Vetri to save from the online auction. What unfolds and what we see on the way to auction is a shocking reality .

Its difficult to digest how sophisticated the trade for flesh has become and it freaks out to see the scenes which can possibly happen near the place we live also. Movie is never in to the preaching mode, but it just warns you , that it would definitely freak you out. Debutant Kulanthai Velappan has focused on bringing the relevance of the concept and he has presented a gripping movie from the beginning till the end. You will not find any glitches, All you see is a commendable socially relevant theme, which has maintained a thread of realism, and managed to keep the interest alive almost throughout.

The actors you see in this movie gave out a qualified performance for this matured movie, You would never feel that you are looking at a debut actor or aN actress. Dhuruva and Shruthi are the only main characters, the victims whom we know from the movie. It’s a clear and executed acting of the director and it has brought the best in them. You will be struck by the Subbu Panju character in this movie. What has become common nowadays is , Sampath is present in all the good movies. Its understandable and his presence has become inevitable nowadays.

Aanmai Thavarael would have been the movie which was well marketed , but it’s a movie which should be watched. Because what happens in the movie is not shown as a random kidnap, but a clear planned execution . One must watch.

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. Arjun and Vadivel com...
