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 …

If you had read the Chandramukhi review, you might have learnt that it is more suited for those who are not Rajni fans. Going by that ‘Mumbai Express’ is not suited for you if you are a Kamal fan or even if you not, but only if you are a ‘Pasupathi’ fan. The story, screenplay are by Kamal and that shows why inspite of the direction of ‘Singheetam Srinivasan’, the director of the famous ‘Pesum padam’, the film is rubbish to say the least. The story/screenplay is not good enough for a film. May be if it had been taken …

This film starring vijay is expected to go well. It is a good commercial film with a good hero character, a good heroine character and also a very good villain character. Vijay is fond of playing kabadi and he is chellama called as gilli by his team mates. His father as expected opposes gilli’s kabadi intentions. The team goes for coimbatore for a semi finals. There vijay meets trisha. Actually the local don prakash raj falls in love with trisha and kills her two brothers as they oppose him. Vijay rescues her and elopes back to his home. There he …

What the hell happened to director hari, or atleast to the top star Vikram. This film is a rotten one. I don’t really understand the theme that vikram will get angry if anyone speaks bad language. Is he a tamil prof or what?? No he is a good boy, who gets tremendously angry whenever he hears a hurting slang language being used.He has a unique way of dealing with those situations. He tells “Say it again”. Is he interested in hearing it once more, you might ask. Then he tells. “See my eye and now say it again”. These are …

Who said only music videos can be remixed. That is what the director has to say as he had very successfully remixed “Bhatsha”, the super dooper hit of rajnikanth. The only difference is that this time it is ‘Ajith’ who is playing the role of a hidden don.One thing is for sure. Had there been no film like bhatsha and ‘Jana’ had come then we can consider it a pretty decent film. Now since it is a tamil remake of yet another tamil film, it fairs very poorly. The only thing is that Ajith looks a bit good in this …

One really good film from maniratnam. It also comes as Yuva in hindi starring ajay devagan in lead role. The actors in tamil are surya, maddy and siddarth (the boys tragedy). The film just portrays the lives of three young people and how they come into a common screenplay later. Maddy plays a wonderful role as adiyal. He has done a tremendous job and can be considered on par with many good actors of tamil industry. Even in a single shot he does not remind of our sweet, handsome maddy but becomes one with the character. Surya is also excellent …

Like many sathyaraj films this one too is just a time pass. It has absolutely no logic or story. In this film also sathyaraj portrays a character who wants to go to foreign country. (even after getting a bad experience in anna nagar muthal theru). He has a friend mani, who does for better that other casts. Some of the scenes are laugable because of this person.The film named aptly is sema ragalai from the start till end.Sathyaraj kidnaps devayani (of all girls why devayani), mistaking her for his friend’s lover and for want of money to go urine (sorry …
