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.

Verdict : Endrendrum Punnagai – Dont Miss !

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.

Verdict : Irandam Ulagam  – Childhood Bedtime Story !!!

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.

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

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.

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. 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 to a victim.  A medical student Chandru ( Shree ) returns home from his friend’s place.

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 !!!!

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.

Verdict : Raja Rani – Oru Seriyana Kootani & Value for Money !!!!

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 !!!!!!

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 !!!!!
