Goa - Movie Review

Let me start with the disclaimer. "This movie is far better than any recent Vijay/Ajith/Sun Pictures movie"

This Ch-28 team's great asset is their talent to show things differently. You can always expect something different from them. This movie also has such different and interesting scenes spread all over the movie which will make the entire crowd laugh heavily.

But the problem with Goa compared to Ch-28 or Saroja is 'WEAK STORY LINE'. There is no story line at all. If I am asked to tell about the movie plot, I won't have much to say. The movie doesn't have a continuity. It is just group of good and bad scenes which tries to tie up.

I would call Premji Amaran as the hero of movie. Premji is the person who holds the audience. Otherwise, I won't wonder if ppl had walked away in the middle. Though he repeats the old 'Evvalavo pandrom...', 'Enna Koduma...' and all, audience still like it. Continue till the claps stop Premji!

Premji has helped in Background score too. He is very good in using old songs at the right place. Even in this movie, he has brilliantly used 'nagruthana dhiranana' (Chinna Veedu), 'ayyayyo' (Paruthi veeran), 'puli urumudhu' (Vettaikaran), 'kangal iranda' (Subramanyapuram) etc. Overall, Premji has emphasized his importance! But I am not sure how long he is going to act the same way.

Jai had no scope.  Vaibhav had a good role.

Piaa Bajpai was not looking beautiful in Poi Solla Porom or Aegan. But in this movie, she is gorgeous. She should be getting some good heroine roles from now.


Sneha..... Well, not a bad role. Some anti heroine kind of character. But as a fan of Sneha, I was not satisfied ;-)

Aravind Akash is good. Looking handsome with newly developed 6 packs. An important role too! This should be an important movie for Sampath Raj. So far he had been shown rude and hard. This character as  Daniel is completely soft. Well, the homosex stuff between Aravind and Sampath had no importance in the movie except for giving a lead to Puli urumudhu spoof. May be Venkat Prabhu wanted to tell that Homosex is not something uncommon or a crime. Melanie Marie shook her head well for Kangal Iranda. But Premji ku adhu podhum.

Yuvan has given some good  numbers. Ezhezhu thalamuraikkum (Ilayaraja Family song) was good with folk touch. Idhu varai is my pick. Especially Ajeesh voice. Yuvan has given a good song to the Airtel Super Singer hero.

Venkat Prabhu. This man has enormous creativity and sense of humor. But I am afraid if Chennai-28 will be his last good film. If he concentrates more on story and screenplay, this man can rock the entire Tamil Industry.

Well, If I was given a mic outside the theatre, I would have told

"Nothing strongly bad about the movie. But it could have been better. The Venkat Prabhu holiday was not as entertaining as expected"

Finally, a bonus for readers. Hear and enjoy the 'nagrudhana' music.

Naanayam - Movie Review

The trailer of the movie was very good. But it was unfortunate that all the good scenes were put in the trailer.

The expectation was a fast and thrilling first half and may be a boring and slow 2nd half. But the movie was very boring during first half and relatively less boring during 2nd half.

The story is new to Tamil. But screenplay is old model. There are many bank robbery English movies. Director could have copied some scenes from them properly and given a good entertainer.

Prasanna is a good actor and he is perfect in this movie too. He is a promising young actor!

I was expecting a surprise from Sibiraj. But he is not good even as a villain. He tried to imitate his father as a 'casual villain' but couldn't reproduce even 10%. 'Sibiraj is not fit for acting'. Hence proved! :)

SPB. No scope for him too.

Heroine waste. Chumma edhaavadhu side role pannalam!

Other characters are not even worth mentioning.

The songs were sounding like OK type. But in the movie, it was a complete show stopper. Audience were just pissed off when each song came.

I would say, it is a good decision to have chosen Thaman for BGM though some pieces were recycled ones.

The director would have got encouraged by the success of 'Eeram'. But with a slippery screenplay, it became another mokkai movie.

Watch this movie if you are also 'vetti' like me ;)

Let me end with a positive note.I liked the message which the movie was trying to say.


"Illegal relationship with a woman and Relationship with an illegal woman. Both are dangerous" :)

Kutty - Movie Review

Even the original telugu movie Arya didn't inspire me a lot.

So obviously, watching this movie was one boring 2:30 hrs for me.

They need not have taken xerox copy of the original. Frame by frame replica. Tamil cinema industry is known for fresh thoughts. Please don't spoil our name.

Dhanush is one actor known for doing some intelligent chap kind of roles. Indha nalla payyan role lam suit aagala. But by all means, he is not irritating.

The newcomer Sameer is good. But I am worrying if he will also become some one like Abbas or Kunal :P

I always felt, Shreya is a heroine who can just be used for glamorous roles. Some homely looking heroine would have been a better choice.

Comedian. One expert comedian would have come in handy.

Devi Sri Prasad has done lot of recycling work. All tunes and BGMs are heard ones.

Regarding story, screenplay stuffs. We have seen a lot like this in old Tamil movies. 1980s had a lot of romantic movies like this.

On the whole, Kutty is one boring movie. May be, with family, if you want to see some recent movie, you can go for this.

Ayirathil Oruvan - Movie review

I don't want to reveal the plot and spoil the suspense.

What a movie!!!!

One of the best movies I have ever seen!!

This movie will entertain and also educate you.

We should be proud to see such movies coming from India and that too from Tamil cinema industry!!!

Kudos to Selvaraghavan!!

Karthi's is entertaining. Reema sen is the most important character in the movie. Andrea is silent beauty. And finally Parthiban. A surprise package.

Songs are already hit. Even the BGMs are good.

Cinematography is just par excellence. This man Ramji deserves all awards!

This movie is beyond ratings.Sheer hard work. A must watch!

Please watch this movie in theatres and encourage this kind of works.

At least I am seeing it multiple times in theatres! :)

Vettaikaran - Movie Review

With all bashings through SMS and emails, Vettaikaaran got released. I got the precious [:P] opportunity to see the film today. No disappointments. The movie is as bad as expected. So how bad is it? Lets see the bad things one by one [:)]

Story
All old stuff. Vijay coming to chennai. Some rowdies there. Vijay fighting with them.... Hooof. Same crap.

Anushka
There were guys who went to theatres expecting something(!!!!???) from her. Complete disappointment. She is not a good looking heroine in the movie. No scope even in songs. Cha Cha. Engal ilaignargal saabam ungala chumma vidaadhu Anushka.[;)]

Songs
Actually the songs are hit. But they were not positioned properly except 'Puli urumbudhu'. Audience were sleeping during 'Chinna Thaamarai' song. Vijay's hair style in that!!!! He he. Enga oor la oru paithiyakaaran, pathu varushama thalaikku ennavaikkaama kulikkaama suthikittu iruppan. Vijay was looking exactly like him in that song.

Villains
Again, old stuffs. I was expecting something different from Salim Ghouse (Vetri Vizha, Chinna gounder fame). Avarayum dummy aakitaangale!!!!!

Comedy
Sema mokka. Even Rajinikanth haves some good comedians as support for him. Vijaye ellathaym pannanumna epdi? Vadivelu's presence was deliberately neeeded in the movie.

Sun Pictures
I am a Sun Pictures hater. Now I start hating it even more. I don't know how am I going to control myself from beaking the television while seeing "Tamizhagamengum ippozhudhu paaparapaaga pesapattu kondiruppadhu Sun pictures vazhangi Vijay naditha Vettaikaaran Thiraipadam. Vetri nadai podugiradhu" in SUN News.

Vijay
Here comes our hero. Avan thirundha mattaan. Thirundhave mattan. I don't know when he is going to realise that even his fans are frustrated with the same type of movies. Actually, Vijay is one talented hero. Good dancing skills. Wonderful comedy timing sense. Good style. But he is trying his level best to use all of them to give consecutive bad movies. Keep the good(!?) work going, Vijay!

Vijay, Ajith and Simbu. 3 Idiots who are pulling Tamil industry down.

So, what's the verdict? Vettaikaaran is a MUST WATCH MOVIE 

What(???????????!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yes, Must watch movie for Vijay haters. Your hatred will be justified once again. [:P]
