Nobody said it.This time it's all me.Life isn't like in the movies.Life... is much harder

,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 realit...

I feel very satisfied when the plot is adopted from Tamil literature. I loved Sasi ’s Poo and now Suseendran ’s Azhagarsaamiyin Kuthirai adopted from Writer Baskar Sakthi ’s work, is a simple and fantastic movie of goodness and humanity. Its been some time I had a good time on a Sunday afternoon which pushes me to write the review after watching the movie. Suseendran is here to stay , simply he is growing movie by Movie.The best thing about him is that he has got the thinking to look simple , rather than going big and failing miserably , like Susee Ganesan . Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai is about a Village , which is preparing for its annual Azhagar Festival where the deity parade happens around the Village. The wooden horse goes missing and the blame game starts. The villagers manage to snatch a real horse which actually belongs to a person Azharsamy whose bread is dependent on ...

Myskin has preset style which he cant change, he is refining himself in that style rather not trying any thing else. I could predict the core of the movie right from the word go that its going to be a cheap pleasures of high society like he did in his other movies. I sincerely think he should take different inspirations for his movies apart from women being exploited ,kidnapped and saved. Yutham sei is a much refined movie with respect to his performance and his work. But he tries to put forth a compulsive scary camera before audience which gets repeated in all his movie with a violin background. Yutham sei is an investigation about serial killings which happens in the city. J.Krishnamoorthy a underplayed CBCID cop is handed over with the responsibility to go behind the killings who is in his personal agony of his sisters whereabouts who went missing mysteriously. Things get connected so shockingly but it makes tougher for the cops to locate where the real culprit of the serial killer ...

I have to ask Mr.Myskin why he didn’t credit Kikujuro in the title card after all you have designed even the posters copying from Kikujiro.Why the new age directors are relectant is giving the credit to the orginal version.The concept of a story is the crux of any movie than the story or the screen play.All handled well the movie comes out as a entertaining product.I was told he gave the credit in the audio release which is a year ago and now he has lived with the delayed release of the movie and he didn’t want to give to original version.But for Nandalala is poetic as per the Bharathiar lines.Very very poetic title ,the movie traverses the emotions of human being in the form of journey. Bhaskar Mani a mentally challenged person and Aswin Ram a kid meets in the journey in search of their respective Mothers. The journey and motive of their search are radically opposite and both come up with their own experiences and attitude problems to get along.Both meet up with many sides human faces...

Some times you might even forget what you have been doing for years,Things might get mighty and unavoidable than the routine duties.Thats what is happening with me for the past two months.I have been searching for time to write reviews for movies I watched .All said, Myna has lived to some extent on its expectation and hype.Myna wouldn’t be called as a cult or great movie but definitely it gains a commercial and critical success which a director dreams for. For years Prabu Solomon has been trying to convey some thing to the audiences,But he has been giving half baked stories like King,Lee,Kokki.But if you look at all these there isn’t a direct narration or plot in his movie.He has a style and stuff to present but all along he has been lacking perfection to present as a complete product .With Myna he has improved his presentation and core plot which struck deep in the viewer’s experience. The success of any film maker lies in the screen play ,to me Prabu Solomon wins in the last thirt...

Hurray!!! Its entertaining,vibrant,fun ride,over satisfied,technically shocking!!! To perceive this as a dream project after lots of changes,after missing Sujatha the man who shaped shankar ’s dream ,after mess with SRK , Enthiran is possible only because of Rajinikanth .You don’t have to expect any thing out from Enthiran ,enter the hall with no expectation and you will return with full masala -ed Sci Fi entertainer. Shankar has nutured and presented this with a difference though he has casted the unprecedented Rajinikanth !Its one smashing movie with Magic of Rajini and brilliance of Shankar's delivery. Enthiran is about a machine made to do good deeds which gets misdirected . Enthiran makes mistakes logically,it hypes lot ,it doesn ’t feed you with what a Rajini fan would expect throughout,it doesn ’t provide you with usual Rajini humor but Enthiran stands out as an outstanding entertainer because of Charisma of Rajini and Shankar ’s work. Technical...

Madarasapattinam is a sweet and simple emotional journey to the yesteryears beauty Madras Presidency.Things were organized in the city then and its so surprising to see those places in CG which has now transformed as a nuisance and a thing to comment on Madras.Madarasapattinam wins for its detailing and for keeping it straight though there are some negatives about the movie.Vijay’s Maiden own story is an impressive love story which may have shades of Lagaan or Titanic but its a different story of its league.The first period movie in Tamil which can be declared hit. 1945 Amy Jackson the daughter of Governor lands Madaras Presidency ,she gets impressed by the culture and heritage of Indian people and of course the brave man Parithi(Arya).This starts the tussle between the british officers and the Dhobi Community.Film moves to present and past ,In the present day Amy in the verge of her of serious illness travels from UK to India in search of her Lost love Parithi after 60 years.In the ...

Raavan brings Technical brilliance at its believable and reachable point for Tamil Cinema. Raavan redifines the mythological inspiration in a celluloid form with its imagination and intelligence.Truly this movie is one of the landmark in Vikram’s character and different from his earlier version since he has changed his much praised dialogue tone and accent.Vikram has just been very mighty and powerful and has over taken the creator of the movie.Manirathnam should have been watching quietly a hungry wild beast when Vikram was performing rather than moulding him to his frame.But though Raavanan looks mighty the movie is weak for its simplified direct inspiration and very closed approach of Mani Sir. Raavanan is an intelligent but simplified resemblance from Ramayanam ,the motivation and emotions are similar with Raavan being the powerful and true human being than Raaman .Veera ( Vikram ) the extremist who is been searched by SP Dev (Prithivi Raj ) and team for his rebellious an...

Unwanted hypes might spoil the true creations also,this movie kind of escaped from getting failed.Its a generalistic option to go for a viral marketing nowadays for the movies before release,but this movie team opted for a lousy channel with a lousy theme to market .Some how the movie was much beyond it what they had emphasized and it was saved.Rajneeti adopted from Mahabaratha,Little bit of God father gives the gripping mood for its racy screen play and performance of the lead characters. Its difficult to first get in to the movie until you get to realize this is based on some characters which you knew,For example the character of Bharati Rai (Nikhila Trikha) whose character is from Kunthi Devi who gives birth to Ajay Devgan resembling Karna becoming the rival for the family of Bharathi Rai .This is a political gang war between one of the biggest Political family of a state.its about revenge,Love and hatred engulfed in the form of Politics .Ranbir takes the lead with his Mamaji ...

Singam roars,Definitely the movie is a Masala Briyani prepared well.No nonsense a typical Tamil film with out and out Action and Romance Singam succeeds and comes in as a rescue for this summer.Singam directed by Hari looks for the safest bet in all the aspects with very intelligently handled action sequences. Duraisingam a honest and aggressive sub Inspector of Police at Nallur village is the most respected and beloved Cop in and around the village.Mayilvahanam ( Prakashraj) who is a Mob in Chennai tries to brawl with Singam at Nallur but he fails so badly because of the power and influence Singam had earned in his village,Mayilvahanam returns back to chennai and brings Singam by transferring him to Chennai to take revenge at his fort.Singam is humiliated by the Mayilvahanam by restricting him to take action against the illegal activities of Mayilvahanam ,which Mayilvahanam effects through his link in Police Department.Singam stands against Mayilvahanam after he meets Kavya(Anushka) w...

In these three years since the release of Veyil ,I met Vasantha Balan thrice and I tried to ask him about the Movie Angadi Theru .But he always sounded low and he always projected what he was not.Last time when I met him in “ Paa “ screening, I told him about the “ Kathailagai pesum “ song from Angadi Theru and I could really see his face getting brighter.He should have been very energetic about this creation.I don’t know why this movie was delayed but this movie had come in the right time for Tamil Cinema.After repeatedly hearing the movie’s songs for nearly eight months I couldn ’t wait to watch the movie though I was expecting a emotional ride for two hours.I bow to Vasanthabalan ’s original and brave attempt Angadi theru for its realism and sensation. It’s a heavy walk in Angadi theru ,its about two sales people who fell in love amidst the inhuman work culture and treatment at a TNagar Super store .The film is inspired from a popular TNagar store which was in news...

Love stories in cinema are immortal and Tamil movies had its golden moments with some time-less love stories.Gautham Menon usually gives love stories as passing plots which always have added magic in his movies .When this guy wanted to direct a full length light heart Love story there has to be a difference.And surprisingly there is difference in the way of outlook how we see the movie.VTV is not about the love alone its about two different characters of whom we get to see their moments after falling in love for each other.Vinnaithandi Varuvaya is a poetic name and the movie goes by its name.It can not be called as a Master Piece of Gautham but definitely I was much satisfied than Varanam Ayiram. Gautham Menon’s love with Mechanical Engineering ,church marriages ,one liners continues.But definitely this time much intimate and closer to his heart.Karthik a Mechanical Engineering graduate an aspiring director falls in love with Jessy ,an IT professional.Jessy likes Karthik but she h...

After so much of hesitation I went for My Name is Khan first day ,with zero expectation on Karan Johar Movie.I have had lots of irritating melodramatic stuffs in his previous movies,especially with Kabhi kushi kabhi Gham.I hated his creation like any thing.But this one.Not bad at all.Its a descent watch with great performance from Sharukh Khan. Off late am I becoming lazy in writing reviews ,the question I have to ask my self because my friend is cribbing me that I have become lazy on writing on movies.I write about this movie after a week .Thats bad.After twitter ,facebook participation my comments have been swift to them but blog has been pushed to second level.I need to work on it atleast for good movies like MNIK. MNIK is the Rizwhan Khaaan from Epiglottis ,a man who has a syndrome of Asperger,wants to meet president of USA to tell that his name is Khan and he is not a terrorist.He wants to prove that his family once he had was never responsible for any of the terrorist activi...

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 ma...
