Meiporul(2009)



I was getting lots of Spam SMS about this movie and the poster of this movie was irritating for me .It read “ Tamil cinemavai mattra vanthirukkum oru thiraipadam “ meaning “ Movie which has come to change tamil cinema “.If you ask me frankly its so rubbish and idiotic to think as such even for publicity .I would definitely agree this movie had a different space but it had nothing new other than the characters because we don’t see any known faces.

Meiporul is a thriller which is shot entirely in USA.Sam( Krish Bala) and Devi (Anusha) are happy couple who live in USA.Things change when Sam meets Rajan who predicts the things through his Extra sensory perception.Rajan tells about Sam’s death ,horrified Rajan starts acting in a different manner.Things unwinds when Sam’s friends brings these things to a different light.

One thing about this movie is that the actors struggle to act and even to spell the dialogues.They act as if they are acting !.It was disturbing through out the movie when you don’t have performance in the movie.Sam’s friend (Narayanan) is the only actor who has give a good performance.I don’t know who selected the characters but seriously when you are looking for a thriller and quality movie these things would disturb you and irritate you .I was told all the actors are first timers !

Movie has some twists but its not a edge of seat thriller which can make you sit glued in the movie.Movie has different treatment and things are similar to the Hollywood script but we don’t expect a U Turn in thrillers any more.A decent racy movie with good performance would have done good job for this movie .Sorry for the director Natty Kumar !

How come this review is totally condradictory to all the raving Press reviews and the others that I hear around here in the U.S.? Well...is this proof enough that the folks back in India cannot understand Hollywood style? I guess some Tamil audience still appreciate kuthu paatu, namitha appearance, obscenity, double meaning dialogues, dumb stories and the list goes on and on.

The acting wasn't all perfect but I liked Meipporul. The suspense was maintained until the end and it really left me thinking about what was real and what wasn't.

@Anonymous,


Its totally contradictory because i didnt want to give a fake review ,

And folks in India can not enjoy some crap stuffs which shows as a thriller and advertising it as the mile stone movie.

U think its a hollywood style movie.Can u breif me whats hollywood style? and one morething its up to the readers decide on the movie,its my opinion abt the movie,

some body can escape with out even a trace after kidnapping governor's kid.Are u kidding here..And the thriller had no substance.

Performance ...One of the worst in the world of cinema.

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.

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
