Angadi Theru - Movie Review


 Movie Review:  After his hard-hitting ‘Veyyil’, Vasanthabalan has dared to venture where no other director has until date. The raw and sometimes brutal side of the sweat shops of commerce, shopping malls, is showcased. Richard Nathan’s camera lays bare the innards of Senthil Murugan Stores on Ranganathan Street, adding power to Vasanthabalan’s bold script .

The one-stop shop wonders that attract thousands of shoppers and spin the wheels of commerce are actually spun by the sweaty and sleep-deprived hungry youth of Tamil Nadu.While they have jobs that allow them to send home desperately-needed money, their working conditions are pathetic. But the young sweat it out, despite lacking fundamental rights, including the freedom to fall in love.

The story unfolds through the lives of Jothilingam (newcomer Mahesh), and his friend Marimuthu (Pandi) who are brought to Chennai from their humble homes in Ittamozhi of Tirunelveli district. Sent first to the underbelly, the godown, the two are thrilled when they go to the air conditioned third floor. And that is when the reality-check kicks in, fully.

In the form of the abusive floor supervisor (director Venkatesh), who does not hesitate to slap a boy who gives him the lip or a girl who slackens on the job. When he finds a love letter written by a girl, he conducts an open inquiry which drives the girl to jump off the third floor in full view of all.

Jothilingam, who by now is in love with Kani (Anjali) worries over the fate of his romance, but all that is forgotten when actor Sneha arrives for an ad film shoot in the shop. While everyone is busy, the two lovers steal a few moments alone but end up getting locked when the shop closes at night. As they face the consequences, and choose to live a life on the streets of Chennai, tragedy strikes in the form of an accident. Will true love prevail?

While the first half races past, the second gets entangled in unnecessary sub-plots, like the one about Kani’s young sister employed as a housemaid, and meanders a bit. However, all the actors have pulled off convincing performances. Vijay Anthony and GV Prakash have teamed up for the music, and ‘Aval appadi onrum azhagillai’ is the pick of the lot.

This not a pretty picture, but a searing comment. The next time you visit a shopping mall, vignettes from the film will pop up, like spam mail, in your memory. A hard, but must-see for those who care about cinema and society.

Kanden Kadhalai movie review






Remaking a film is not an easy task. Maintaining the heart and soul of the original and at the same time giving the viewers a fresh experience is by a challenge. So does Kanden Kadhalai, remake of the hugely successful Jab We Met manage to match up to the original? Let us take a look.

THE CHARACTERS
The story revolves around two complete opposites, Shaktivel (Bharath) and Anjali (Tamannaah).Of course there are other characters in the story, just like in the original. But the character of Mokkarasu (Santhanam) adds an interesting dimension to the story.

THE PLOT
Anjali is a young carefree girl who is in love with the idea of being in love. She is on her way to her hometown Theni and on the train she meets Shaktivel. Shaktivel is a businessman who is depressed with his life as his lover is getting married to someone else. He sees no purpose to his exsitence, He is quiet and keeps a low profile. Anjali is this talkative girl who has an opinion about everything. By a freak accident Anjali misses her train and forces Shaktivel to come with her to her hometown as she has missed the train because of him. Thus begins the hourney of friendship. Once they reach thei hometown, everyone in Anjali's family is happy with Shaktivel. Circumstances make these two diverse individuals good friends. Shaktivel decides to travel with Anjali to her hometown. This is where the movie takes a turn from the original with the character of Mokkarasu, Anjali's mother's brother and first in line to be her groom. Anjali has no intentions of marrying him and one night she decides to runaway from home to Ooty to be with her lover Gautham (Munna). She tells her idea to Shaktivel and he too leaves with her. This leads to Anjali's folks to believe that she has eloped with Shaktivel. Influenced by Anjali's love for life, Shaktivel is now prepared to face all his problems. He leaves Anjali in Ooty and decides to return home. But when after a few months Anjali's family tracks him down asn ask about her, Shakthi realises that something has gone wrong and he decided to go to look for her. What happens next? Does he find her? What happened to Anjali? All that forms the rest of the story.

THE TECHNIQUE

Performances
Just like Kareena, Tamannaah manages to steal the limelight in this film. She brings Anjali to life. Her mannerisms, her effortlessness in performing, her bubbly character and the transformation in the second half, all make it one of her finest performances. Bharath looks suave and stylish as Shaktivel. Movin away from his rural image, he impresses as the sophisticated businessman. Santhanam is a laugh riot. Though a new track, at no point does the comedy hinder the narration. Santhanam excels in his comedy with able support from rest of the cast.

Camera: P.G. Muthiah
Every frame of Kanden Kadhalai is beautiful, a painting on celluloid. He has captured the countryside of South India so beautifully. For those who have seen the original, the cinematography is reason enough to watch the film again.

Music: Vidyasagar
Known for his melodious tunes, Vidyasagar has once again given music that matches with the mood of the movie. Every emotion of the lead actors is well depicted in them music.

Direction: Kannan has done a wonderful job with Imtiaz Ali's story.He has adapted the plot to suit the tastes of Tamil audiences without compromising on the feel ir essence of the original. A job well done.

VERDICT: If you haven't yet seen the Hindi version, then go and catch Kanden Kadhalai. It is a feel good romantic movie with the heart at its right place. And if you have seen the movie, you can still go at see it; it is worth a watch!

Surya flying to moon-hilarious



In an amazing news to TamilNadu, Indian Space and Research Organization has planned to send actor Surya to moon without any space launchers. This was decided after cheif Scientist Madhavan Nair watched the movie Adhavan in which the actor managed to jump from the ground to catch a helicopter. Cheif Scientist Madhavan Nair was quoted as “We think it will be wise solution as it reduces all the cost involved due to fuel and construction of space craft. It will also mark India as the first country to produce three living super heros if the mission is successful one. The main mission will be to bring water to Chennai from the moon”.

Surya was very excited about the prospect of flying till the moon. “I dedicate this trip to my daughter Diya” said Surya who is still recovering from his award winning syndrome. Jyothika was also excited.”I thought only I can overact but my husband has proved that he can overact even more than me. This over action by flying till helicopter has won him a trip to moon without space craft which is exciting”.

Kingfisher has decided to sponsor the event. Dr Vijay Mallya was quoted as “I am really excited about this thing. Kingfisher feels immensely proud to sponsor a trip to moon by a man. Surya will be wearing a dress sponsored by Kingfisher. It is same as the Banglore Royal Challengers dress. He will get water from the moon using the Kingfisher mineral water bottle which we provide him”.

Director K.S.Ravikumar was equally excited about the trip. K.S Ravikumar said that “I am pleased ISRO has seen my film when whole TamilNadu including my family are not willing to see the film. It shows the credibility of the movie. I am excited that Surya is travelling to moon without any space shuttle based on a scene from my movie. I would also recommend scientist all over the world to watch my other movies like Padayappa in which I tell the concept of differentiating granite hill from normal hill and Minsara Khanna in which I proved birds react on hearing cycle bell sound”.

Sarath Kumar, the head of Tamil film association said “It is a proud moment for Tamil Film Industry. K.S.Ravikumar should be given noble prize for identifying the talents in Surya. No scientist can find a suitable error free shuttle to moon. A Tamilian has solved all those problem. I am proud to be a Tamilian”.

Vijay TV has acquired the rights to telecast the event live on TV. The show will be hosted by Divyadharshini and judged by fellow super heros Vijayakanth and Arjun who have equally excelled in saving our country from foreign intervention. Marks will be given after Surya returns back to earth and based on amount of water he fetches from the moon. If the amount of water that Surya brings is less than the expected level he will not be given the super hero status which both the judges hold currently. Meanwhile Lalit Modi has told that IPL will share the profit with Surya, as Surya will be wearing the dress worn by Banglore Royal Challengers.

Meanwhile S.A. Chandrashekar was of his own idea to send his son Vijay to Mars without any sponsor. When asked for the reason he was quoted as “ISRO was totally unfair to my son. He has shown his flying ability in the movie Kuruvi. But they have totally ignored that. It is our turn to prove ISRO that my son also deserve the super hero status. We will take this mission on our own without any sponsors”.

Peranmai - Brave NCC Girls from India



Film: “Peranmai”; Cast: Jayam Ravi, Ponvannan, Vadivelu, Oorvasi; Director: Jananthan; Rating: ***

Director Jananthan, who impressed everyone with his earlier outings “E” and “Iyarkai”, has attempted to make an adventurous venture laced with some social message.

At the outset one must applaud Jananathan for trying out different things without resorting to the routine masala formula. He has tried to provide a clean adventurous experience without bothering about love, duet, and comedy.

Peranmai might remind you some Hollywood flicks like “Predator”, “Rambo” and “Apocalypto”. But Jananthan tries to present it with a social message focussed on a tribal community. He has also attempted to take on the attitude of upper caste people towards others and the fight between have and have-nots.

The filmmaker talks too much about casteist attitude and insensitive approach of the higher officers and girls belonging to upper classes. Some of the dialogues should are so volatile that they are muted by the censor board members.

Coming to the story (thankfully we have a story to tell after a long time), Dhuruvan (Jayam Ravi) is a first generation graduate from a tribal family. He works as a forest ranger who trains NCC cadets. His superior Ganapathy Ram (Ponvannan) often insults him as he hails from a tribal community. Dhuruvan takes five girls of a college (Dhansika, Maha, Liasri, Saranya and Vasundhara) on a trek to the forest. The girls who hate Dhuruvan hatch a conspiracy to get him punished by his superiors. They are made to feel for their deed, as they come to know of his outstanding personality inside the jungle.

Dhuruvan and his group accidentally come across 16 foreign terrorists who plan to foil Indian Space Research Organisation’ bid to launch a rocket, by sneaking through the forest. The terrorists led by Anderson (Roland Kickenger) take on Dhuruvan and the girls.

Meanwhile, Ganapathy Ram, suspecting Dhruvan, starts an operation to find him and ‘rescue’ the girls. He starts believing that Dhuruvan might have raped and killed a girl, and issues a shoot-at-sight order against him. The rest of the movie deals with how Dhuruvan completes the mission to foil the plan of ultras.

Jeyam Ravi, hitherto considered a romantic young hero, takes a new dimension in “Peranmai”. He is at his action-best. He is quite impressive as a masculine hero. However, his dialogue delivery leaves much to be desired.

All the five girls play their part. Special mention should be made of Vasundhara and Dhanishka. Ponvannan fits the bill well while Hollywood actor Roland Kikenger does well too.

Vidyasagar’s background score is appealing and Sathish Kumar’s cinematography captures the dense jungle at its pristine glory.

Unnai Pol Oruvan is a must-watch




Unnai Pol Oruvan is a must-watch


Oh, and there's the chief minister himself. The real one. Only a voice, but his presence is pretty imposing, and that makes the situation even more genuine.

But what really makes Unnai Pol Oruvan a great movie are these things: the lack of songs (or unnecessary fight sequences) anywhere in the narrative except for soaring background bits; the way secondary characters, especially Sethuraman, Natasha and Arif Khan are handled; showing various aspects of the very real battle the police force faces on a day to day basis, instead of having one hero demolish all ...

And somewhere along the line is Arvind, the superstar (Sriman) whose mannerisms are so obviously that of the Ilaya Thalapathi that there are several knowing smirks in the theatre.

Era Murugan's (and Kamal's) dialogues are brilliant (even if they get wordy at some places). The duo does keep in mind the common man's perspectives, and the little nuggets of humour are a definite delight.

What really makes this movie watchable are the performances. Mohanlal is a delight -- the man's calm assurance, betraying only slightly what he's going through, his ability to think in ten different directions, and to empathise with his subordinates (witness his interactions with Arif, Sethuraman and Natasha) and his affinity to being more a comrade than a superior (the beer dialogue with Arif is classic) -- and his final thoughts are appropriate.

By contrast, Kamal Haasan has himself taken a backseat, coming into his own only in the second half, which is when he stops being a furious middle-aged man driven by an inner force and shows some vulnerability.

The surprise package (in more ways than one) is Ganesh Venkatram.

Fortunately, its random hilarious moments and human perspective save it from becoming a documentary. And just for that, it merits a must-watch.

Poo Movie Review

The innate determination of women has been written about extensively across many cultures…. 'Hell hath no fury like that of a woman's scorn' is one of them. 'Poo' also weaves a tale of a woman with tremendous determination….caught up with the fragrance of love in all its innocence and benevolence.
Advertisement : seo india
A cinematic adaptation of Tamilchelvan's short story 'Veyyilodu Poi', 'Poo' successfully carries over the literary flavor to celluloid. Hats off to director Sasi for the transition! However, the real star of the film has been actress Parvathy who has debuted in Tamil filmdom with 'Poo'. Having literally lived the character of Mari that she has played, the actress leaves a mighty stamp in the hearts of audiences with a performance that will be remembered for years to come.
'Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs' wrote Shakespeare. When a woman is in love the smoke intensifies so much that it engulfs her very self to an extent that it dictates every move of hers …. 'Poo' stands testimony to these thoughts….and yet there is something about 'Poo' that is so very pristine….true love above all else….
A slice of rural Tamilnadu comes alive right from the onset. The film follows the life of Mari, a rural girl with an incredible affinity to her cousin (Thangarasu). Both, as children share a world that is filled with laughter, pranks and even embarrassing moments. But as time the weary traveler plods on, the golden gates of childhood close behind them forever. Even as many a cherished moment fades into distant memory the affinity that has blossomed into love stays true.
Thangarasu is off to Chennai to pursue a course in Mechanical Engineering and Mari finds herself working in a cracker factory chirping away all the time about the man-of-her-life to her dear friend and colleague.
Scores of questions are raised as the film unfolds. Would an engineer want to marry a simpleton like Mari? Is Mari's love such an overdose that it'll destroy even her? etc…. Societal pattern plays a huge part all through the film.
Thangarasu's father, a hard working man uses his bullock cart to transport wares and is extremely happy to be referred to as 'Pennakaarar' (courtesy, he owns a pen and knows how to write too….). The man is ecstatic at the fact that his son would soon be an engineer earning huge sums of money. Thangarasu becomes the toast of the village thanks to his studies.
Would Mari's desire, societal norms and wavelength of thoughts converge? The crux of the film deals with all this.
All relationships in the film have been made with an abundance of realism and that is a major strength. Music by debutant S. S. Kumaran is refreshing and one gets the feeling he would be a musician to watch out for. The cinematography has been apt and one gets the feeling of being scorched by the hot sun through the lens of Sakthi Saravanan.
Kudos to Srikanth for having accepted to play the character of Thangarasu. Though he knew very well that Parvathy would be the actually star of the film and not him, he has ventured to be part of this good story. Not many heroes in Tamil filmdom would do that. If Parvathy can back this performance in her forthcoming films one can jump onto the roof and shout - a star is born.
On the whole the film is such a refreshing change from the regular hullabaloo of so-called commercial masala entertainment. 'Poo' would definitely join the ranks of 'Kadhal', 'Azhagi', 'Subramaniapuram' and the like which went on to rake in big money.
