Adhavan (2009)


Atlast I had some time to catch up Adhavan,I didn’t expect any wonder from KS Ravikumar .He is the same ,he didn’t change even a single bit since his movies with Sarathkumar.Surya on the other hand is irritating to watch with him grim face as a anti hero! Its also very difficult to write about a movie which has nothing special and impressive.

Adhavan is a difficult watch for its plot .Its an age old story told with new costumes and fresh camera.Adhavan a contract killer is on a mission to kill a Judge( Murali) who is about to submit a report on Child kidnapping.Adhavan enters in to the family of Murali to Kill him .At the climax we are asked to believe that Surya is the son of Murali to some how end this story.Adhavan takes the revenge against the people who are against his Dad.

Surya definitely has to come out of this hangover of exotic locales and grim face .Its irritating to imagine him as a rough assassin with this outlook.I wasn’t able to believe even for a single second that he is a contract killer ,every thing looks so artificial in his behaviour.Surya has to venture in to new area of acting than going along with safe bet like KSRavikumar ,Hari.I am not keen in watching Surya as a commercial hero.

Movie definitely belongs to Vadivelu,the theatre erupts in laughter when he is threatened by Surya .With out Vadivelu this movie would have been a big torture.I don’t know why Saroja Devi was grabbed in this movie.

KSRavikumar is known as the most successful commercial director in Tamil cinema.It true he delivers a formula in this movie unchanged from his earlier movies.There are many takers for his movies even I am not for his party.Adhavan is irritating but Vadivelu provides the relief .My friend messaged me after seeing this movie on the first day “ Madhaaaaavaaaaaaaa Mudiala “ Its true.



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.

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
