Seethakaathi movie review:

Seethakaathi movie review:

A gutsy move by Vijay sethupathi to feature in a 25th film which has his screen presence only for 30-40 minutes. Though the rest of the movie is penned based on his character it is a let down and results in disappointment for his fans.

Vijay sethupathi shows his class and acting brilliance has a theater artist in the 30-40 minutes which keeps ringing in to the audience for the rest of the movie.

The 8 minutes single shot in the opening segment with live recording with excellent camera angles is intensively picturized by the director.

After the initial intense drama the movie takes a out of the box panoramal angle which portrays the difficulty in acting and film making with few laugh riot sequences

After initial 40 minutes the movie is carried by the director Balaji and he is well supported by Mouli, Rajkumar, Mahendran and others.

The feel of the movie is further intensified by extraordinary Bgm and cinematography.

The movie is not the regular cup of tea so it May not go well with all class of audience so don't criticize the movie please do watch it in Amazon prime if you are not for experiments.

Rating 3/5

Final Verdict: Vijay sethupathi acting brilliance should not be missed.

2.0 movie review

2.0 movie review :

This Movie doesn't require a review. It is one of the best in Indian Cinema. It is difficult to recreate such kind of films in future.

Shankar shows his creativity starting from the title card to end credits.

The movie has stunning story, screenplay, vfx, music, bgm, sound designing, stunt choreography etc., etc.,....

The story is known from teaser and trailer that it talks about cellphone radiation and it's harmful effects to the living things.

The big plus is one and only Rajini because he shoulders both the first and second half. He is the villain, hero, magician, comedian and what not. Akshay is good but he shows his class antagonism only in second half.

Amy is given equal importance the flow of the story.

Chitti is lovable and applaudable

Dear audiences don't miss the endira logathu sundariye after the end credits it is a visual magic in 3d.

Even after end credits the surprise awaits.

The climax is 25 mins long no superman and Batman can match it.

ARR and Resul pookutty is the back bone of the movie

The surprise element in climax is 3.0 which should be enjoyed in big screen.

Shankar gives credits to each and every technician in the movie

Rating 5/5

FINAL VERDICT : Watch this visual extravaganza only in 3d to experience the visual wonder.

Vada chennai movie review

Vada chennai movie review :

Vetri Maaran portrayed the life of people in Vada Chennai with its raw flavor, filthy language without compromising to get A Certificate to bring the originality on Screen.

Though Dhanush is the hero of the film the screenpace is equally shared by Samuthrakani, Kishore and Ameer which stamps the mark of Vetri Maaran.

Andrea has a powerful role and Aishwarya steals the show in the romantic lip lock sequences

Biggest plus is the screenplay which is webbed in such a way that it keeps the audience hooked to the seats. The twist in the interval block is awesome.

Santhosh Narayan bgm elevates the scenes intensity

Good stunt choreography and DOP by Rathnavael especially in the interval and climax episodes with the unique lighting is laudable

The climax paves way for the audience to expect much more in the sequel.

Rating 3.5 /5

Final Verdict : A story of betrayal with a raw flavor is sketched well but may not go well with all class of audience.

96 movie review

96 movie review :

A low budget Vijay sethupathi - Trisha starrer which talks about the memories of School love story in a reunion after 22 years.

The heart and soul of the movie is BGM and meaningful songs. The BGM elevates even a normal scene to different level.

The characterization of Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha are beautifully penned. They carry the movie in their shoulders throughout the second half. The first half purely belongs to the two young kids.

Jangaraj, Deva darshini and all the artists have done their role to their fullest.

Rating 3/5

Final verdict : A Poetic love story narrated in its own pace without a cinematic ending.

Seema raja movie review

Seema raja movie review :

Ponram 3rd Venture with சிவகார்த்திகேயன் worked in parts. First half is a usual comic Masala where the hero tries his best to win the heart of a silambam teacher. But the movie becomes interesting in the last 40 mts where  siva is portrayed has a 14 th century King Kadambavel who fights against historical Malika kapoor with his new weapon. The movie ends with a routine climax.

Siva - Soori Combo brings hilarious moments on screen. Some sequences also penned has spoof of top hero movies like Rickshawkaran, Padaiyappa, Vivegam etc. Best comic episode was the cheetah sequence.

Soori six pack effort should be appreciated

Simran and Lal Compensate each other has antagonists

Cameo by Keerthi Suresh is good.

Music and BGM by Imman is good and laudable though BGM resembles movie older movies.

Rating 2.25/5

Final verdict : Siva loses his originality tries to follow MGR and Rajini style quoting Ajith dialogues

Imaikka nodigal movie review

Imaikka nodigal movie review :

A great thriller which starts well, gives a bang in the interval and ends well. Ajay has penned a beautiful thriller with adequate twists and turns. He played a cat and mouse game with Nayan and Anurag.

Though Nayan gives her best it is Anurag who steals the show. Terrific negativity by Anurag.

Adharva and Rakshi travels in a parallel track sometimes looks overdose but it has a big impact to the core plot in the interval bang.

Sweet little emotional cameo by Vijay sethupathi.

The little girl who acted as Nayan daughter requires a special mention.

Adhi BGM and songs carry the movie

Excellent photography.

Rating 3.75/5

Final verdict : A best thriller with few illogical sequences.

A feel good, hilarious, romantic, comedy, entertainer from Vijay and Parasuram Combo for this Independence day.

Age old routine story starts his narrative in Bommarillu style between Vijay and Nithya menon, Progresses in Nu Vusthani style Raashmika mistaking Vijay has a rogue in a bus incident. Then with lot interesting sequences with few twists making the heroine fall in love with Vijay and ending the movie in a positive note.

Gopisundar Musical and fantastic Veena BGM gives a great romantic feel throughout the screenplay.

Manikandan Visuals is splendid

The movie gives a underlying message to the youngsters who is living in the generation of living together. If a husband treats and cares his wife with all love and affection in reflection he will get back the love what his mother showered on him and wife will act has a second mother.

Vishwaroopam 2 review

Vishwaroopam 2 review :

Kamal starts the story where he ended.

First half deals with UK episode in Hollywood style

Second half deals with Indian episode with bollywood style climax.

Kamal after shooting vishwaroopam he would have seen the length of the movie to be 3 hrs. So he cleverly made it into two parts.

In part 2 he added mother sentiment and romance episodes for 45 minutes in a non Linear narrative screenplay mixing with prequel and sequel stories.

He has taken too much of cinematic liberty in action episodes

Rating 2/5

Final verdict :Suitable for diehard Kamal fans

Kaala Movie Review

Kaala Movie Review :

Ranjith is Back in form after loosing his way in Kabali

Rajini Shoulders the movie with Ease, Style and Grace.

Story is Simple, clash between Black Dada and White Dada who keeps check and mate to each other.

Kaala described has Raavan fights for the people of Dharavi and white Dada considers himself as Ram but does bad to the people.

Easwari Rao is the real show stealer of the movie what a performer she is.

Samuthrakani replaces the role of what Janagaraj does in Rajini movies.

Huma Quershi does a decent job.

The female who acted as Marathi girl is commendable.

Highlights

First half is terrific

Pre interval fight

First meeting between kaala and Nana

Awesome  interval block stunt choreography with umbrella

Police station scene Rajini Meeting with shinde is a laugh riot

House meeting between Nana and Kaala is superb where Nana takes a upperhand in acting.

Cinematography is good showcasing Stylish Rajini in all angles

Gutsy Climax with Raavana song visuals awesome

Nana patekar has done a great antagonist job who out lasts Rajini in few scenes

Minus

Few dull moments in second half

Bgm and songs could have been much better by Santhosh

Rating 3.5/5

Final Verdict : Ram is killed then what happens to Raavan? That is the punch of Director Ranjith Watch it in Silverscreen

Don't Support Piracy. The movie is definitely worth a watch in Theaters

Bharat ane nenu Review

Bharat ane nenu Review :

Mahesh selected a storyline which every Indian dreams that how his CM should be.

It is a political drama which is a perfect blend of shekar kammulas Leader and Shankars Nayak.

London return young man accidentally becomes CM of AP who wants to serve for the people faces opposition from his own party and opposition party and how he overcomes it forms the crux of the story.

Mahesh is stylish as usual his dialogue delivery is tremendous. The first assembly scene and the press meet where he leaves the journalists speechless is extraordinary adorable acting.

Koratala penned a beautiful thin romance in the film which is so cute.

Peter hein stunts in theater fight is marvelous

DSP TITLE Song and BGM are praise worthy.

Prakash Raj as usual excels in his character.

The movie runs in a straight line without any twists and turns.

Stylish political drama loses track in the regular tollywood stunt in climax , which should have been avoided.

Rating 3.25/5

Final Verdict : Don't miss the Young CM in action

Rangasthalam Movie Review

Rangasthalam Movie Review :

From the trailer itself everyone would know what the movie is all about. A movie set in the backdrop of 1980s. A rustic village guy fights against the village president to save the poor farmers from their debts with the help of his brother.

Portrayal of Hero characterization by Director Sukumar gives a new look to age old story in Rangasthalam.

Ram charan lives the character of deaf rustic village guy. He has done his performance to his best. His dialogue delivery, comic sense and dance movements are adorable in the movie.

Samantha steals the audience with her cute expressions.

Jagapathi babu, Aadhi and Prakash Raj have done their roles to perfection.

Backbone of the movie is DSP. He mesmerizes with his peppy numbers. BGM is extraordinary in preinterval and climax fight sequences.

Stunt choreography in torch light fight is amazing and cinematography plays visual treat throughout the movie.

Item number of pooja is awesome. Dance master stands high in the item number with his fast steps
and floor movements.

Rating 2.75/5

Final Verdict: New treatment to the age old story with predictable twist in the climax.

Watch it for the Massy Ram Charan.

Naachiyaar movie review

Naachiyaar movie review :

Investigative crime thriller movie from Bala.

Jyothika excels in the title role as a Rustic straight forward police officer having shades of Rani Mukherjee from Mardhaani.

G. V. Prakash has given his best performance till date and the new comer Ivana is a perfect find by Bala who steals the audience with her cute expressions.

Simple story line but Bala keeps the audience guessing with his gripping Screenplay.

Backbone of the movie is இளையராஜா BGM.

Cinematography is too good in the opening chasing scene.

Rating 3/5

Final verdict : Bala 's 100 mins will keep you engaged for sure.

Padmaavat movie review

Padmaavat movie review :

Sanjay Leelaa Bhansali Version of Padmavathi is real epic.

The movie doesn't speak any controversial things it only highlights the power and boldness of Rajput ladies. So they should be proud of their culture.

Ranveer and Deepika lived the character of their title roles. Shahid characterization looks little weak.

Intro sequence of Alauddin with Ostrich and intro padmavathi hunting a deer are excellent.

Bhansali brings on screen the visual wonder of Chitoor.

Art direction, Cinematography, Dance Choreography are perfection to the core and on par with Hollywood movies.

Ghoomar song choreography and Deepika's graceful dance should never be missed.

Though the music is good in BGM but in songs it is a big let down.

Good but slow screenplay.

Dialogues are terrific.

The two dialogues which admired me was

1. Not only the Sword of Rajput has the power even the Rajput has it.

2. It is not the request of a sister but it is the order of Rajput Princess to bring back the king.

Rating 3.5/5

Final verdict : Don't miss this Bhansali 's Visual magic.

Deepika sizzles as Padmavathi.

Jai Simha movie review

Jai Simha movie review :

Ravi kumar proved that his movies will have a strong storyline once again with Jai Simha. The story and Racy Screenplay is the king of the movie.

All the other elements whatever the audience expects from a Balayya movie is 102% available in the movie with 3 heroines, Mind blowing mind less fights. Ammukuuti dance steps is good.

Interval fight as usual but  interval twist unusual and unexpected.

Second half bit slow but it catches momentum after the flashback episode and ends with a usual climax with a unusual ending.

Rating 2.5 /5

Final verdict : Balayya Simha is good but Jai Simha is great on story. No one can stop the roaring lion in the box office. It is a perfect Sankaranthi Dhamaka.

Thana Serntha Koottam

Thana Serntha Koottam :

A remake of the Akshay Kumar Super hit Special 26.

A heist /Con man story happened in the 80's. Surya plays the role of a Con man with ease. Ramya Krishnan is at her best after Bahubali she reprises the role of Anupham Kher in Hindi.

Keerthy Suresh has limited role but she steals the audience with her cute expressions especially in the Peela Peela retro song.

Karthick, Suresh Menon, Senthil, Shivasankar, nanda and Thambi Ramaiya have done their role to perfection.

Real hero of the Movie is Music sensation Anirudh he keeps the momentum throughout with Mass and Peppy tracks.

Choreography by Bhaskar is good.

Vignesh Shivan changed the climax of the movie with a action episode to satisfy the surya fans which doesn't suit and also looks comical.

Rating 2.5 /5

Final verdict : Still Special 26 is my favorite.

Friday, 12 January 2018

Sketch Movie Review

Sketch Movie Review :

Chiyaan is back with his Rustic and Rugged look after Gemini.

One more movie on the back drop of North Madras with opposite gangs. Hero sketches to take the vehicles which don't pay due on time and lands in trouble because of a vehicle he snatches from the opposition.

Vijay Chander has woven simple storyline into a interesting screenplay especially the interval block is terrific. In the second half the movie travels in a predictable path and once again the pre climatic assassination is the real Sketch moment.

The movie has a small twist in climax which we can predict if we closely observe the screenplay and ends with a social message as it is the order of the day.

Tamanna plays a brahmin girl with a stubborn relationship towards the hero.

Opening song is really goosebump moments in theater but all the other are melodies with good lyrics which act as speed breakers in screen play especially in second half. Thaman BGM is good.

Stunt choreography is sketched well.

Rating 2.5 /5

Final verdict :  Sketched well for a one time watch.

Agynathavasi movie review

Agynathavasi movie review :

It is PSPK 25 and comes out with lots of expectations among his fans has he has combined with Trivikram after the two blockbusters Jalsa and Attharinti Daredi.

Did the movie fulfill the expectations?

The movie starts off with a murder of business tycoon and his son. Pawan is introduced with a perfect fight sequence and beautiful song to establish his personality. Pawan tries to identify the person behind the murders.
The movie starts of well and loses its track in the comical episodes and comes back to track in the predicted interval.

Aadhi introduced as powerful villain but doesn't have big role to play is the biggest minus of the film. Board of directors are shown as comedians and two heroines Keerthi and Anu both have a very few scenes.

Who is Pawan and what bond he shares with Kushboo is shown in a weekly narrated flashback episode.

The movie has rich production values. Extraordinary BGM and music by Anirudh
Cinematography is great.

Trivikram struggles with the Screenplay.

Few scenes are definitely hilarious, comedy timings and dialogue delivery in rhyming are excellent by the lead actors.

Rating 2.25/5

Final verdict : Strictly for Pawan Kalyan Fans.

Okka Kshanam Movie review

Okka Kshanam Movie review :

It is time to applaud the telugu film industry for coming out beautiful thrillers good engaging screenplay. Last year it was Kshanam and this year it is okka Kshanam.

Screenplay is the king of the movie.
Though the movie started in a slow pace in the first half has a regular romantic movie it slowly takes us into the concept of Parallel life and brilliantly locks the audience in the Interval block.

Though the audience know what is the story of second half is going to be but here comes the master mind of the director to keep the audience glued to the screen with unpredictable twists and turns.

Sirish and Surabhi have done their roles well.

BGM by Manisharma is terrific.

Songs are speed breakars in the screenplay.

Rating 3.25/5

Final verdict : Interesting thriller of the year with parallel life concept.
