About :

It may not be a great debut for the Director Chandru associate of Venkat Prabhu, who is failing to impress the audience on this fantasy flick. We should appreciate the concept of this movie, however it got messed up in the screenplay. Many scenes reminds many movies and don’t understand why he want to pull Power Star and Sam Anderson. In one scene Rajkumar will tell that the story is like Hangover, but Jai will deny on that, when all the four in the island, again Rajkumar will tell that it seems to be like the movie Cast Away. In another scene Manobala ( Naradar ) asks to Subbu ( Lord shiva ) about the next plans on the four people,  There Manobala tells since the mood of film is getting dull and the audience will start putting in Facebook that first half is super and second half is mokkai. So it is very obvious from Director’s point of view, as a audience everyone think that the movie is like Hangover, Cast Away, NKPK and a boring screenplay. At some places you will laugh and there is no much scope for acting for the people who have acted. Nothing much on music and songs. Overall it is a waste of time watching this movie.

Verdict : Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham  – For this you can see old Saraswathi Sabatham 100 times in an DVD!!!

About :

Director Suseendharan has again strikes a powerful screenplay with a heart melting emotional sequence. The story may be a as usual kind, but the way it was handled with the star casting is just amazing. One of the best in Vishal’s career and delivered a power packed performance with reasonable and acceptable stunts. Lakshmi Menon has a very little role to play and executed what the director exactly wants. Soori as Vishal friend more than his comedy, his character role stands out. Vikrant done a guest appearance as Vishal’s one more friend.  Aprat from all these people, Bharathiraja acting is standing out with his performance and he is definitely requires a standing ovation. His acting will surely make to get tears from eyes. Iman has done a fabulous work in BGM and all the songs were good visually. Infact his music is one of the biggest positive in this movie. Overall this is 100 % worth watching with family in theatres and not to be missed.

Verdict : Pandiya Naadu  – Padhara Vaikkum ull Naadi !!!!

Arya gets more agitated and informing this to Kishore who investigates the bomb blast case. With the help of Arya, Ajith get arrested. Why Ajith does all these things and what is the motive behind it form rest of the story with a flash back.

About :

Director Vishnuvaradhan second movie with Ajith which has created a lot of waves on pre release and the expectation increased to sky limit post the release of the trailer . He has given a powerful action packed first half, but fails to keep the same momentum in the second half. Second half is getting down with a weak flash back of an ordinary revenge with a dirtied politician and a police officer added to it.  Ajith proves the point he is an Ultimate star and has a dashing looking with his salt and pepper hair style and has superlative screen presence. When he looks stunning in the first half, second half he seems to be over weight in the flash back. He has done a complete justice to his character and three to four scenes he has shown complete mass. Arya as usual smart with the effort less acting. Nayanthara is extremely striking and again proved she is a no 1 actress in the Tamil industry. There is no much work for Tapsee and Kishore fits aptly to his role. Songs are very average and BGM is Ok, but not the good list of Yuvan’s musical. If you people don’t care about logic this will be a visual treat. If you care about logic this movie second half is a crap. For Ajith Fans it is definitely a Diwali treat and sure the satisfaction is guaranteed to them.

Verdict : Aarambam – First half Amarkalam, Second half Thavirkanum.
