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 !!!!

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  –

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 !!!

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 !!!!!
