About :

Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, who makes her directorial debut in commercial cinema with Vanakkam Chennai. The same was Produced by her husband, Udhayanidhi Stalin under their home production, Red Giant Movies.  The way the screenplay handled was good and does make us feel that she is debutant director. The story part was not unique it is an as usual masala and we would have seen in many movies in past. But with a colourful cinematography.  Shiva is tried a different characterisation, but fails when it comes to emotions. Priya Anand is an apt choice and does her part well. Santhanam no difference from his previous flicks. Unwanted characters like Oorvasi and Nazar who doesn't have any value in this film. Music  composed by Anirudh Ravichander and one of the main positives.

Overall you can watch once with family without having any greater expectation. But when you come out of theatre you will not feel bored.

Verdict : Vanakkam Chennai – Vandhavargalai Vazha Vaikum !!!!

Plot:

An most unpleasant movie without any transfixing story and screenplay. The story starts with Meera Krishna ( Dhanush’s mother ) searching bride for her elder sons ( Sreeman & Sathyan ), but everything is in vain. Chinna Vaandu ( Dhanush ) lives in his uncle place along with Soori, there he get a chance to meet Vana Roja ( Nazriya ) who comes to her Grand Mother’s place for a festival celebration.

On the other hand Nazriya’s father is fixing an alliance and keeping the Betrothal on her birthday with a shocking surprise to her. The alliance is Vamsi Krishna who is an conceited in nature, where he also get love at first sight when he say Nazriya. Due to this Dhanush and Nazriya is running out of the place and getting married.  This act make Vamsi Krishna more antagonism and he started searching Nazriya. On the other hand Dhanush, taking Nazriya to his home town with the help of Soori and joining her with his family for a job in Pyramid Natrajan’s shop ( Dhanush Father ). After this Sreeman and Sathyan trying to impress Nazriya unknowingly she is wife of his own brother. What problem they face with Villian and Whether Dhanush family  and Nazriya family accepts their relationship forms rest of the story.


About :

This is a utter disappointment from Director Sargunam when we compare to his previous flicks Kalavani and Vagai Soodava. Very very lacklustre story and screenplay. First half is a complete bore and in second half we get relaxation due Sreeman.  One more flop in Dhanush’s career nothing special from him and had just done what exactly the director wants. He has great acting potential and should avoid these kinds of a movie. In past we would have loved his acting skills in Kadhal Kondain, Polladhavan, Yarade Nee Mohini, Aadu Kalam, 3, Mayakan Enna, Mariyan, don’t understand why there is a sudden break to this kind of film. Nazriya is not a right match to Dhanush and there is not chemistry seems to be working out. Sreeman and Soori has done his part well Other characters are very average and there is no much scope. From Start till climax director portrayed Vamsi as terrible a villain, but in the climax it is on the other way. Music is done by Gibran, very very average. Except for Teddy Bear song, none of them are good.

Overall it is not worth to watch this  disappointing movie.

Verdict : Naiyandi  – Padam Pathutu nee poova Aandi !!!

Plot:

Well scripted with brilliancy and this is one of the best Mysskin’s movie till now. Of course it’s a milestone to career path. In a dark night wolf ( Mysskin ) was running as he was shot and get fainted in the road. Many people passes by without helping him to the heights one man stops to take photo to post it in Face book. There he clearly depicts the carelessness of the public in case of emergency to a victim.  A medical student Chandru ( Shree ) returns home from his friend’s place. He stops immediately when say the man lying in the road and rushing him to the nearby hospital.  As usual hospital doctors refuse to attend him, as he has a gunshot and they ask him to report this incident to Police. Post which he rushes to the nearby police station where he faces insensible act of police and at last he is taking the dying guy Wolf to his house. With a help of his professor he is performing a surgery in his home itself and making it success. When he woke up in the morning to his surprise wolf vanishes from his home.

Post this incident, CB CID officials tracing Chandru and arresting along with his Brother and Sister in Law, as he has performed operation to a Criminal who is already in the bracket for encounter.  Police official use Chandru to catch wolf, however wolf kidnaps Chandru and taking along with him. One side police is chasing on the other side his rival Thamba is chasing, what is happening to Chandru and wolf and why wolf escapes forms the rest of the story with an convincing climax.

About :

A must watch crime thriller and a very good milestone from Director Mysskin. He himself acted in this film and gives audience a convincing acting .  He has completely taken this movie in night time and eliminated all the commercial events like songs, comedy like his previous flicks.  The way he narrated the climax is really awesome, he tells his serious story to a kid without any flashback only with the usage of character like Wolf, Sheep and Bear. Also making audience to understand what is this story about.  This itself tells it is a diverse kind of climax. Shree at his best and proves he is good product of Balaji Shakthivel.  He has very good acting skill and correctly emoting wherever required. Though good screen presence too. Iam reserving my conclusion to one and only to Our beloved Maestro Raja Sir. He is the hero of the film. Phew!!!  what a recording and no body can touch him with his skill set. The dialogues is very minimal and everything is taken care of Raja sir’s music.  He has done exceptionally well and creates a thriller mood throughout the out the movie.

Overall real worth of the money you spend and you will not be disappointed watching this movie. 

Verdict : Onayum Aatukuttiyum – Nadunisiyel Nadakum Kadhai Kalamum pogum nella vegam !!!!

Plot:

There is no specific kind of story, everything is just an happening in a day ending with a good Message to public, which was presented with a great hilarity. This about of four different tracks joining a single track at the end.  Comedy starts from scene one and they way the introduction narrated is definitely a different kind and can’t stop our laugh. Sumar Moonji Kumar ( Vijay Sethupathi ) who has a deep love with his neighbour Kumudha ( Nadita ). However she doesn’t even care about that. She feels irritated with the way Vijay behaviour does to her. This is one track. The next track is Bala ( Ashwin ), an Sales executive in an Bank and has affair with Renu ( Swathi ) who is very suspicious. He has been bombarded with both by his girl friend and his manager M S Baskar. This is one Track. The third track is Rajendran ( Nan Kadavul Rajendaran ) and his friend, who has a secret affair with a lady ( OK OK Fame ) and plans to murder her husband. This is one track. Patimandram Raja is the father of Nandita who is complaining about Vijay Sethupathi act to Annachi ( Pasupathi ) a wine shop Bar owner, there they have conversation with Vijay Sethupathy. In that same bar, Ashwin comes for a treat and Rajendaran and his friend murdering the Lady’s Husband. In the same time one more character is introduced in the Bar, which is a separate track. What happens to all these characters and how it was knotted in a single track forms the rest of Story.
  
About :

Rowthiram Fame Director Gokul has done remarkable job with complete comedy entertainer. This is not a just comedy film with no logic, however he has cleverly handled the screenplay and giving us a strong message to public. Characterization scores 100 marks, as all the characters have done a fantastic job. In the First half, when there is narration of Ashwin’s story we feel a bit dragging. The main drawback is, there were too many drinking scenes as they story revolves in the wine shop bar. So this movie is definitely not advisable for children. One more feather to Vijay Sethupathy’s hat, he is the man completely rocking and sharing very good screen presence. After a very long period Pasupathy has got a very nice role and done a justice to his job. Swathi, Nadita, Ashwin, Rajendaran & Soori equally contributed .People who liked Soodhu Kavum, NKPN will surely like movie. Siddharth Vipin also done a neat job with regard to BG scoring. Overall this is worth watching in theatre without Kids.

Verdict : Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara – Comedy Roller Coaster!! Stomach Ache Confirmed !!!!
