Plot:
Highly promising movie from the Debut director Atlee (
Associate of Shankar ) Its a kind of movie like Mouna Ragam and Rythm genre and
can able to see the shades of it, however presented in today’s inclination. Movie
starting off with Arya and Nayan’s wedding in a Church. Thereafter for 15 to 20 Mins, it is a tug of
war between husband and wife. This war creates huge despair to Nayan and she is
getting hospitalised. There she brief her flash back to Arya, her first affair with
Jai. Interesting love sequence and why their love is not succeeded forms the
first Half with dominant emotional scenes and Arya is touched with the story
and thinks a Girl can love a boy this much. Second half Santhanam brief the story about Arya’s
love with Nazriya what happens to them. Same like Arya, Nayan is touched with
the story and thinks a Boy can love a Girl this much. Finally how Arya and
Nayan’s relationship continues forms the rest of story.
About :
First and foremost appreciate the talent of the young
Director Atlee. Clearly proves he is a product of Shankar, as you can choose
the richness in each and every scene. Extremely good screenplay and you will not
feel bored till end. He has been very choosy in picking all the characters
acted and also the technicians. The hype created pre-release and the name Atlee
was viral in You tube and Facebook, he has lived upto expectation. Arya is
looking stunning and has a very good screen presence. There is no much acting
scope for him. Nayan...Huff she is back to form and look too dazzling, she
delivers her output very precisely, infact she has larger scope for acting. Jai
perfectly fits to the role, it is one step ahead to role like Engayum Eppodhum.
Nazriya as a cute bubbly girl and steal the heart of the audience. Important
mention of Sathyaraj, his role is limited but creates huge impact on his
character. He scores 100 % in a scene where there is a conversation with Nayan in
the car. Santhanam no doubt has a great chemistry with Arya and has done a good
comedy.
All the Costumes for the all the characters is one the
greatest positives, that itself gives the richness in scenes. GV’s great BG
score made this movie more interesting and also making the scenes close to our
heart.
This is really a big film for AR Murugadoss Production. Overall
a Must watch Movie with the complete family.
Verdict : Raja Rani – Oru Seriyana Kootani & Value for Money

Thanga Meengal

Plot:
First and foremost let me tell you this is not a movie of
Mass, this is a type of expressive package between a Father and Daughter. It
Starts with a character called Kalyanasundaram ( Ram ), a very good person in temperament
but unfit in earning money with a appropriate job. In early stage he is getting
married and thereby Chellamma ( Sadhana ) his daughter entering into his life.
He shows his full attachment to his daughter and live his every breath for his
daughter understands her well. Everyone criticise about her daughter that her
understanding is very below standards, apart from this Ram understands her
world and accomplish her wishes. He will become financially very week and being
mortified by his own father for not able to pay his daughter’s school
fees. Hence he decided to leave his
house and moves to Kerala in seek out for a Job.
There he will start earning some money and try to come to
his home town and informing this to his daughter. Inturn his daughter placing a
request to his father to get a Pug dog. He also promise to do so. When he approach
a dog Vendor, he ask for a price of 25000, where in he has only around some
2000. What all happens to Ram after that and whether he fulfils his daughter
wish or not? forms rest of the story.
About :
Katradhu Tamizh Fame Ram after a long gap has come back with
this another poignant package “ Thanga Meengal “. He proves that he is also an quality
director in Tamil Cinema Industry. One should have a guts to direct these kind
of emotional and slow paced movie. I think Gautham Vasudev Menon had lot of expectation
on him and produced this movie. No doubt he lived upto his expectation. Need to
appreciate the director on picking the characters Like Shelly, Baby Sadhana,
Rohini, Poo Ramu. Everyone has done outstandingly well and emoting correctly where
ever it is required. Some of the best scenes When there is a conversation between
Ram and his father where he face a great humiliation, When Ram Speaks to his daughter
in phone that god has told everything to him and the emotion he shows when the
daughter explains why she has stolen. Etc Etc..
Apart from the Father Daughter feeling, he has also focused
on present day education system, like how some of the teachers stressing on the
negatives of the students rather appreciating on what they are good at. He also
made a point that government schools are equally competing to provide quality
education for their students.
I can say the main hero of the movie is Yuvan Shankar Raja,
what a back ground score he has done. He has made all the Father daughter
sentimental scenes close to our heart with his BGM. Aanadha Yazhai song is one
of the best song of the year, I would have seen this song more than 100 times. I
will bet you, if you have a daughter and not spending time with her, just see
this song and sing along you will surely get a special love to your daughter. Very
good Cinematography from P G Muthiah, who aptly create a mood in our visuals.
Overall this movie is a real worth to watch and recommend many
awards for the awesome work done by Ram. Hats off Ram !!! I proudly say i have
a Daughter !!!!!!
Verdict : Thanga Meengal – Oru Kutti Devadhaiku Aval Appa
Yezudhiya Kavidhai !!!

Moodar Koodam

Moodar Koodam –
Plot:
Of
late Its hearting to note that new infantile directors experimenting diverse
kind of movies in Tamil like Soodhu Kavvum, NKPK, Pizza, Neram.. Moodar Koodam
also falls in the equivalent class. The main plot revolves around four
characters, Naveen (Naveen), Vellaisami (Rajaj), Sentrayan (Sentrayan) and
Kuberan (Kuberan), where the four meet in Jail due to minor offences. When they
set to release, they started sharing their past to each and everyone. At this
juncture they come up with a robbery plan and they decide to execute this plan
in Vellaisami’s uncle JP’s house.
JP
is the owner of a Chit Fund company and he decided to loot all the money and
planning to settle in Dubai, However vellaisami is thinking that his Uncle
family is going to Haridwar for a Pilgrimage and use this time to rob his
house. So finally all four entering in to JP’s house and making the family
member ( JP, Anupama Kumar, Oviya, his Sister, Brother & Grand Father )
house arrest and threatening for money.
How they succeed in their plan and what is happening in the house form
the rest of the story.
About :
Different
and Excellent screenplay from the debut director Naveen who is an assistant of
Pandiraj ( Paasanga Fame ). The progression of all scenes with the flashbacks
threaded very well and characters aptly fitting the role. The title Fools
Gathering is a right choice and you will know the foolish act on each and every
character. Its a complete comedy roller coaster like NKPK, but with a bit slow
pace. This you will feel in the second half. The movie also carries a message to
the parents, but was not deliberately shown. Music Composed by Natarajan
Sankaran is the one of the biggest plus for this movie, there are around 14
songs, but it is definitely not a speed breaker. Overall it is worth watching
this movie forget if you see any deficiency when you come out and need to appreciate
the young director with this kind of different approach.
Verdict
– Moodar Koodam - Relaxing Destination
for the weekend !!!

almost all scenes.
About :
Director
Ponram associate director of Rajesh has given us a complete family entertainer
and he is filling the expectation of the audience. The movie runs on an average
pace and falls under no vulgarity category. The concept seems to be same, however
it was delivered in a different blend. Star casting adding a affirmative point.
Sridivya is a good choice and look homely too. This movie will be one more
feather to Siva’s Hat as it will be a average hit. Soori has done a decent job
and has a good chemistry with the hero. Imman has done a well-mannered job, the
songs may not be boring when see it visually, Nevertheless will not stand in
your mind. But it is not definitely a speed breaker. Overall you can watch this
movie with complete family and you will not be disappointed.
Verdict
– Varuthapadadha Valibar Sangam - Enjoy
the movie with Family with a Pop Corn !!!!!
My Rating : 2.75 out of 5
