activities done by him. Whether Sivan changes his mind as per Sakhi’s wish? Who
is actually behind the blast gives answer in the climax and forms rest of the
story.
About :
Director R T Neason second movie in his career, he tries
give a racy and complete family entertainer. The story is good but the way it
was presented seems to be very average. There are too many unwanted characters and
length almost runs for 3 hrs. Complete logic is missing in many scenes and
making us to scrape our heads while watching. All CG scenes were preposterously
picturesed. Mohan lal character is perfect fit for the role he has taken. After
a very long time, Poornima Bhagyaraj has a very good role and can been seen in
many scenes. No doubt Vijay rules throughout the movie. No work for kajal Agarwal and Soori. Imman BGM
adding life and three songs were good especially Kandangi sung by Vijay and
Sherya Goshal. For all Vijay fans this movie is a visual treat and throughout
they will enjoy. This may not be a great movie, but can watch once because of
Vijay and MohanLal Combo Movie !!!
Verdict : May not be a Show stealer for everyone except for Vijay
Fans !!!

Plot:
After a long time we are seeing Ajith in a different
wardrobe which suits him perfectly. This movie completely revolve around village
backdrop where Ajith ( Vinayagam ) and his four brothers lives together and
Ajith completely live for his four brothers. Due to which he is not getting
married thinking that will become a speed breaker for the affiliation with his
brothers. On the other hand two of his brothers were already in love and they struggle
to tell this to his brother. With the help of Santhanam, they are carrying out
a plan to make to Ajith to fell in love with Tamanah ( Koperundevi ). After a little
struggle Ajith fell in love with Tamanah. Tamanah’s tought is Ajith is very tranquil
and not pamper in any of the violence. When things were moving fine, Tamanah
Insist Ajith to meet her father Nassar who is in support of Ahimsa. When both starting
travel to Tamanah’s home town a gang of people trying a murder in the train.
There Ajith shows his real face and there comes a Interval break with a small
twist. In second half director reveals the twist that the gang is actually trying
to Murder Tamanah and not Ajith. This is because of a past unforgettable incident
faced by Atul Kulkarni due to Nassar. Where Atul tries to take revenge on the
entire family. How Ajith over rules this revenge forms rest of the story.
About :
After a huge success of Siruthai, director Siva is come back
with a complete family entertainer. When we talk about the story, it is a very
normal story and we would have seen in many movies. The brother sentiments
would have seen in Rajini’s Murattu Kalai. However he tries try engage audience
with his screenplay. Ajith, he is a one man army in this movie and has very average
scope for acting. It was clearly seen from all scenes, that his acting will
only engage Ajith fans and not a common people. Paring with Tamanah is a real
bad choice. Santhanam’s magic is not working and his comedy is very average. DSP
music is a big letdown except for the theme. None of the songs are good to hear
or to see it visually. Overall we can watch this once, if you are a true Ajith
fan you will enjoy throughout the movie.
Verdict : A decent family Entertainer !!!

Plot:
After a long time, a very good movie to watch. It starts off
with a Flash back, where Nassar wife leaves him and his Kid Goutham ( Jivaa ).
Flustered Nassar in highly boozed state tell all negatives about Women to Jivaa,
from that time Jivaa start hating Women completely. Shree ( Vinay ) and Baby (
Santhanam )are very close friends from the childhood. All the three grow up
together and will be close to each other. They also owns a advertising agency
company. Shree is a kind of guy who flirts with women and Santhanam is a kind
of guy who doesn’t care for anything. For these three one thing is common and
they promise each other that they will never get married. Priya ( Trisha ) as
an co-ordinator from the Advertisement company and starts working with these
three for a Project. When things were moving fine suddenly Vinay and Santhanam
is getting married, which gives more irritation to Jivaa. From there they were
separated each other. On the other hand Nasser’s wish is Jivaa to get married
before he dies. How Trisha changes Jivaa to become normal? Why Santhanam and
Vinay getting married despite promise to Jivaa? Whether Nassar’s wish is
succeded? The rest of the story gives answer to these questions.
About :
Director Ahmed’s second movie after Vamanan. When compare to
his to earlier movie he scores double in this. Movie is very neatly scripted
and very nice cataloguing shown about friendship, Love, Relation between Father
and Son. For Jivaa, this is one of his best movies and done a great job. Vinay,
effortless acting and done as what director wants. Santhanam’s one liner rocks
completely. However he should stop making comedies at the cost of others. Nearly
for the past 10 years one heroine who rules kollywood is non other than Trisha,
she looks still the same and she is absolute gorgeous. After a long time a very
good role for Nassar and he done with the perfection. When we speak about music,
Harris music is good in this but many seems to repetitive. One more strong positive
is Cinematography, Madhi has done extremely awesome job and foreign location is
shoot is a visual delight for every eyes. Director could have decrease the
drinking scenes as there are many scenes from start to end. Overall it is worth
to watch.

Plot:
The movie kicks off with Venkat Prabhu’s Brand line “a Venkat
Prabhu Diet” which is written in a barricade. Karthi ( Sugan ) and Premgi (
Parasu ) is chased by police, there the flash back starts. Both were friends
from Childhood, Karthi a charismatic and striking hunk who makes all the girls
he see to fell with him instantly. On the other hand nothing works out for Premgi.
Hansika ( Priyanka ) a gorgeous girl friend of Karthi work as a Media reporter.
In an Alcoholic party hosted by Panch Subbu ( brother in law of Karthi ) where
he was obsessed by Dharika which in turn spotted by Hansika and as usual there is
small misunderstanding fight between them. This scene may remind you Pancha
Thanthiram. Both Karthi and Premgi travel to Ambur for an inaugural of their
company’s new showroom. The chief guest at
the Inaugural ceremony is Varadharajan (
Nazzar ) a big business tycoon, who is also suspected of several illegal
dealings and the same is investigated by CBI officer Sampth ( Riaz Ahmed ). There Karthi happened to take an interview
with Nazzar who in turn impressed with him and has a idea to tie a knot between
Karthi and his second daughter. This gives more irritation to Nazzar’s first
son in law Ramki.
On the return journey, Karthi insists Premji for eating Biriyani and they search for it.
There they finds a road side Biriyani shop. Here they meet a scorching Maya (
Mandy Takhar ) who insists to accompany her in her hotel room. Initially Karthi
refuses, but over a point of time both were unable to resist the temptation and
agrees to accompany her. After Several rounds of Alcohol they both are perplexed.
When Karthi woke up in the morning, he was at a utter shock and seems him
sleeping in his car alone in a highway. When he tries to recollect, he was not
able to remember anything. So he again travels to the same beach resort in search
of Premji, there he finds him and one more shock is added here, as Nazzar was
murdered during that night. From there they start to escape from police who
thought both of them murdered Nazzar. However both of them confused on how this
murder has happened? What is exactly happened in that night ? who is behind
this murder ? form the rest of the story.
About :
Venkat Prabhu is illustrious for his ground-breaking thinking
in his Flicks like Chennai 28, Saroja, Goa and Mankatha comes with his Diet in
Biriyani. When we weigh against with his previous movies, he tries to give a racy
murder mystery. However it may not be a implausible due to the weak spot in detail
on the scenes of removing the suspense knots. My sense is, he should stop using
the same characters ( like Nithin Sathya, Vaibhav, Jai, Aakash ) even though
they come in a guest manifestation. This seems to monotonous and he need to
experiment apart from it. Apart from all these things, we should appreciate Director
astuteness on moving the screenplay without a gripping story. Karthi has done a
fabulous job when compare to his previous flops. To everyone’s surprise Premgi
is sharing equal space from start to end. Even in the hot song he is present. But
the chemistry works for both of them. At the same time he was cornered which is
highly repetitive. No big work for Hansika, she comes around five to six
scenes. Uma Riaz has got a good rough and tough role and fulfils the same.
Other characters like Nazzar, Ramki, Subbu, Sampath, JP exactly done what
director wants. Yuvan’s 100th movie, BGM adds value and three songs
are good, but when compare to Mankatha this movie is of low standard to Yuvan.
Overall we can definitely watch, when we forget about logics
in few scenes
Verdict : Biriyani – It is only a Spicy Kuska !!!!!

Plot:
The movie opens with a violence in
a law college, which is instigated by the law minister Sadasivam, as his demand
for the seats in Minister quote is not met. Three students were beaten to death
due to this violence. Police and Public is well aware that this incident is due
to the corrupted Minister but keeps quite due to the power he has in his hands.
Apart from this the Minister takes his brother Easwaran ( Vamsi Krishna ) in
parole for 15 days from the central jail, who is very arrogant and indulging in
many unsocial activities like Murder, Rapes.. Gunsekaran ( Vikram Prabhu ) a common
man who completed Viscom and searches for a job take the responsibility in his
shoulders to teach a lesson to the minister. So he follows Vamsi Krishna and kidnaps
him. He is hiding him in a unfinished rest room in a construction site. Vikaram’s
plan is to have the minister arrested due to the violation of bail against his brother. During this Vikram
happens to meet Surabhi an engineering college student who fell in love with
each other. Four days Vamsi is traumatised
without any food or water, on the other hand the minister gets arrested
by Aravindan ( Ganesh Venkatram ), an honest police officer. Post which Vikram
releases Vamsi Krishna. What is the reaction of the frantic Villain, how he is finding who has kidnapped him and how Vikram trounce forms the rest of the
story.
About :
Second movie from Director Saravanan Engayum Eppodhum fame. Again
he has taken a good subject on Social Interest with a Super hero attached to
it. When we compare it with his debut flick this movie lacks on screenplay, some
of the scenes seems to be more cinematic. The story is the inspiration of an Law
college incident happened in Chennai. One good thing even though he tries to
show Vikram Prabhu as an super hero, on the other side he equally shared the
screen presence to Villain Vamsi Krishna. Even though this may not be a great movie to
saravanan, you will not get uninterested. Surabhi is a good choice and looks
like a doll. She has a very good scope for her role and the complete second
half revolves around her. Music Director Sathya has again done a good job, re-recording
and songs are good. Editing and Cinematography
also adding value. Overall nothing wrong in watching this movie. But don’t have
any expectation like Engayum Eppodhum !!!
Verdict : Ivan Vera Mathiri – Book your tickets for your
complete Family !!!!

Plot:
This movie is all about friendship, revenge & Love. You
all got the answer ! Yes this movie it typically like Subramaniyapuram and a
mix of Renigunda, Thoonga Nagaram, Goripalayam, but with one interesting twist
at the end. Four Orphan friends Saravanan (Arulnidhi) , Pazhani (Sulile Kumar),
Senthil (Pawan) and Aarumugam (Murugadoss) from infancy who doesn’t have any
job except pilfering and always boozing. Poorna appears as Arulnidhi’s girl
friend who is a daughter of Local High Interest Money lender Jayaprakash (
Kandhuvetti Rajenderan ). When things we going fine, all the four happened to
lock in to a dispute with a local rowdy and he revenges to murder them. At the
same time, they again lock in to a dispute with the local inspector and he too
revenges to encounter them. Finally when Jayaprakash come to know the love of
her daughter, he instruct his people to murder Arulnidhi and friends. Eventually
one of his friend Aarumugam is getting murdered and everyone is confused about
this execution and start taking revenge on
all the three who they had a dispute. Finally they come to know, all the
three is not the accused and there is some other person behind this execution forms
the climax with a twist.
About :
Movie is directed by Debutant Ganesh Vinayaac who has given
an average debut flick. The story is of as usual kind and only climax is bit
different. Also don’t understand why people always portraying Madurai City as a
negative place with full of local rowdies, Local Knife fights with cold blooded
murders etc etc.. Again too much of boozing scenes in this movie. Nevertheless there
is no point in putting a small disclaimer in all boozing scenes. Censor board
should be very strict on all these things. This movie is definitely not for children
and family and people should avoid taking them. Mayil Swamy has done a tiny
character as usual in a intoxicated condition, but has a decent comedy. Nothing
much on songs and background score. The movie is very average and will not fly
high in A & B centres and very doubtful in Cities. After Mouna Guru, had a
high expectation on Arul Nidhi, but he fails to impress the audience this time.
Verdict : Thagararu – Mix of Old Flavours

Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham
Plot:
The movie starts in Modern Kailash, where Vinayagar jogging
in a treadmill, Murugar playing Temple Run in an Ipad, Parvathy ( Deva
Dharshini )carrying a Iphone in her hand. Naradar ( Mano Bala ) with a guitar instead of Thambura was coming
to meet Lord Shiva, ( Punch Subbu ) for an assignment given to him. There Lord
Shiva monitoring the world through a I Mac, then naradar started showing four
profiles to Lord Shiva. Where director introduces the main four character Jai,
VTV Ganesh, Sathyan and Raj Kumar. Ramarajan ( Jai ) is a Ayurvedic Sex doctor
following in the foot steps of his father where he falls in love with Jayshree
( Niveditha Thomas ), on a period of time, both the families accepts for the
wedding. VTV Ganesh is the petrified husband a local female rowdy Swarna Akka. Gopi
( Sathyan ) son of a local Corrupted MLA where the show a
very big cut outs and spends money lavishly. Krishna ( Raj Kumar ) wants to
become a hero in Venkat Prabhu’s movie. Four of them decides to go to Bangkok
for Jai’s bachelor party before two weeks of his marriage. Where they drink
over their limits in a pub, to their surprise when they woke up, they were found
themselves in an island surrounded by water. They get confused on how they
landed there. Then it is shown that Lord Shiva is playing a game with them. What
is the assignment given to Naradar? How these four again escapes from the
island? What is the motive of Lord Shiva? Forms the rest of the story.
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!!!

Irandam Ulagam
Plot:
A love story which occurs equivalent in two different worlds,
one in our normal world and another in the fantasy world. In the normal world Anushka
( Ramya ) a doctor who will fell in love
with Arya ( Madhu Balakrishnan ) an college professor. On the other hand in
Fantasy world Maruvan ( Arya ) who is in deep love with Varna ( Anushka ), an warrior
who urges for freedom. The love journey continues as usual and before Interval,
director introduces a sudden twist in both the worlds. Post which how Arya from
both the worlds travels for their love forms rest of the story.
About :
Director Selvaraghavan who always have a different level of
thinking and try to experiment in his movies. Be it Kadhal Kodein, 7GRainbow
Colony, Ayirathil Ovuravn or Mayakam Enna. In this movie also he has tried a
different kind of flavour. When it comes to story it totally lacks to get the
grip, hence there was big let down in the screenplay after the Interval. Only limited
crowd will understand and most of the people will not understand what is
happening in the movie. However one Interesting thing where he is scoring is the
visual experience created by cinematographer Ramji which is impressive. Where he
shown us a different world filled with imaginary creatures, enthralling forest
with a magical place masked in mystery and filled with eye catching colours.
All the songs are Melodies and seems to be good which is composed by Harris
Jayaraj. Back ground score added again adds positive to this movie. Anirudh has done a decent job. Anushka has a
significant role and shares the screen with Arya equally.
Though Selva has tried to present the movie differently, however
he seems to be lost after the interval and made the audience confused. Finally
we get a feeling of seeing a fairy tale story. Yes technically the movie is
brilliant and a new kind in Tamil industry. Nevertheless if the same is not
supported with a good story the technical effort seems to be wasted. Anyways we
can watch only in theatres once for the effort they have taken by
Selvaraghavan.

Plot:
Movie starts with a death of a Mafia Gang leader in Madurai,
post which there is a tug of war between two persons who worked under him to become
the next leader to rule on underworld activities in Madurai. Simmakal Ravi (
Sharath Lohitashwa ) grabs the place with his hard-hitting brutal behaviour. Vishal
is a ordinary guy working in a Mobile service centre and his brother is an straightforward
Government employee and his father Bharathiraja, as an retired Government servant
who were in a joint family. Vishal falls in love with Lakshmi Menon a school teacher
who is the daughter of their tenant Thulasi. When things were going fine, Vishal’s
brother investigating the granite factory of Simmakal Ravi and there he founds
illegal mining beyond the government authorised limits. He is bringing this
issue to higher authorities and Government seals the factory. Simmakal Ravi
getting more agitated and kills Vishal’s brother in an accident. When
Bharathiraja and Vishal comes to know about this fact they both decide to take
revenge unconnectedly. Bharathiraja arranging local rowdies to assault Ravi and
on the other hand Vishal is following Ravi to get a chance to kill him. Bharathiraja
plan is getting failed and Ravi started trying to kill Bharathiraja also. Finally
how Vishal is succeeding in his revenge forms rest of the story.
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.

Plot:
The movie starts of with the serialized Bomb Blast around Mumbai
at major places which is planted by Ajith ( Ashok Kumar – AK ). At the same
time he informs the same to Police well in time, so that they try to immobilize
it. Kishore ( Prakash ) a honest police officer clears all the crowd in all the
buildings but at finally the bomb goes off as planned by Ajith. Arya ( Arjun )
an expert techy savvy on his way to Mumbai for an interview, there he meets is
college friend Nayanthara ( Maya ) who also travels to Mumbai on the same
flight. Once they reach Mumbai, Arya realises that he have been trapped by
Ajith with the help of Nayanthara for his action strategy. Just because he is an best hacker, Ajith wants
to use his talent to hack a TV network channel and make it to shut down. Initially
he refuse to do, however he accepts it when Ajith threatens to kill his Girl
friend Tapsee ( Anitha ). 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.

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.

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. Dhanush get love at first sight and trying to impress in her many
ways. Circumstance change her mind and they started loving each other. 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.

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

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.

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.

Raja Rani

Raja Rani

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.

Thanga Meengal

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 !!!!!!

Moodar Koodam
By : SivakumarImage Source : Google
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 !!!

love, form the rest of the story. Soori sharing the screen space with Siva in
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
