Yet another Vijay film. But there is one thing surprising about him. He manages to create an interest in his films even though there is nothing much that changes between films except the heroines. Asin replaces Trisha for the ‘Kuthu’ dances and comedy. She has done very well., especially in the latter. There is quite some ‘Mother & Sister’ Sentiments, more so in the second half of the film. But the film has many positives. For one thing there is a lot of comedy and it is like a happy-go-watch film. But you will have to bear with some sentimental …

The last few posts have been only film reviews – and understandably so, for this is Diwali season. Kundakka Mankakka is a film that aims to entertain people the most. We all know that Parthiban and Vadivelu are such a grand combination when it comes to comedy and what they have been doing in bits and pieces in other films, they have managed to do it for the entire movie here. And to maintain the film running for 2.5 hrs they needed some story line. So they added a sister to Parthiban and her marriage to a Crorepathi as Parthiban’s …

Another Fazil film. The good thing about the film is that it is very decent. You can sit with you family and enjoy an evening show of this film. The bad thing is that it is quite slow like other Fazil films, but fortunately Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal have done well. The film starts with the usual theme of a good active hero and a playful heroine. The heroine challenges the hero at one stage that she will make him love her. Hero accepts it wanting to teach her a lesson but ends up in love with her. For some …

A very different story. If you had been expecting some College rowdies, useless songs and ragging, students threatening  lecturers in this ‘College Movie’ you will be in for a surprise. The film is very different from that.It is quite serious and worth watching. Arya has done quite well in this movie and so has Sonia agarwal. All old classmates plan to meet after a few years at a single place. Arya one of them comes there buy is mentally challenged due to some incident. His friends try to revive him and on the advice of the doctor, they try to …

It was one of the most anticipated movie by experts of the film industry and it did not fail to impress. The movie is a must see and you will not regret having seen it. The movie starts off at full speed and you start to long that the tempo should be maintained till the end of the film. The first half goes with the same tempo and you are now hoping and even praying that the second half does not slow down. It doesn’t but at the middle of the second half the film slows down, rather it becomes …

Surya sets again on a unique venture. If you did know that he directed ‘Kushi’, ‘Vaali’ and ‘New’, you must be well aware that he does things a bit different from others and that is what happens in ‘Anbe Aruyirae’ – referred as AA here after. The first unique thing is that the name was chosen by public. Then the fact that Surya tells the story up front even before the film begins. And that this is a unique story – not even heard about before. Throughout the film, you are reminded of the ‘Surya Style Dialogue Delivery’ that was …

Producer AM Rathnam should be praised for choosing an apt movie for his son that does not highlight the weaknesses of Ravi Krishna. ‘Radha mohan’ who directed the ‘Azhagiya Theeyae’ does another spectacular work in this movie. Vidhyasagar’s melodies have come out really well. Revathy, Prakash Raj and Gopika have done exceedingly well in the roles given to them. As usual Ravi Krishna though does a good job, misses out on a golden opportunity of an award winning performance. Dialogues are of the top notch from Viji. Now to the story..Venu (Ravi Krishna) is a middle class boy who lives …

Balaji Sakthivel must be a very happy man. The director had tried hard to get Shankar’s attention to produce the film. After a long time, he did get the nod and the rest is history. ‘Kadal’ is certainly a different film from the usual love stories. Reality is everywhere in the film. The love shown is natural and appealing. Bharath is a mechanic and Sandhya is the daughter of a Don in Madurai studying her +2. They fall in love and run away to chennai. With the support of Bharath’s friend Sukumar they get married. But on the same day …

Sorry for the review of a very old film, but when I happened to see the film yesterday in K Tv, I couldn’t control myself from writing this. The film starts off superbly. The screenplay is really wonderful to say the least. Balachander has proved himself many times and Azhagan is just one more feather to his cap. There is a special touch by Balachander in many places throughout the film. When Mamooty says that his wife is no more, Banu priya acts as if she is very sorry for him, but in a split second she is seen smiling …

It is a long time since I reviewed a film.But the tamil new year saw films from both the greatest heores of tamil industry, Kamal and Rajni, each being great due to completely different reasons. I am starting with Chandramukhi. The film could have better started with a statuatory warning “Not for Rajni Fans”. Just because after a loooooooooong time, we are having a movie where Rajni acts rather than a Rajni movie.The story and much of the screenplay is a high quality Xerox copy of the malayalam film ‘Mani Chitra Vaazhu’ which got shobana a National award. The film …
