ADHE KANGAL REVIEW
Cast:           Kalaiyarasan, Janani Iyer, Sshivada, Bala
Music:        Ghibran
Direction:   Rohin Venkatesan

Adhe Kangal, the directional debut of Rohin Venkatesan is a romantic thriller movie about a blind chef portrayed by Kalaiyarasan who get his vision back after an accident and he has is a vague mystery to solve. The story is solid but the screenplay lets down the engaging factor, especially towards interval.

Kalaiyarasan’s performance is more relatable to the audience. His looks and his body language are not like a hero, but a common man which is enjoyable. Sshivada’s character and acting is best  till date in her career. Janani Iyer’s screen space is less, thus no great performance. Bala’s comedy is the high points of the film. Double meaning jokes or the one line punches are only a part of humour. Humour in body language is always regarded as the best and Bala’s comedy falls into the later.

The songs by Ghibran is supporting the film but does not leave impression on the audience. The background music in the first half is not worthy, but the music throughout the second half binds the audience to the film.

Since this is a thriller film, a piece of information is hidden from the audience to build curiosity. But it  is hold  for too long that the suspense is predicted along with a few twists. The hair rising moment is when the suspense is revealed, but since it is predicted the film does not make a great impact.

Verdict: Watchable thriller, neither too bad nor too good.

2.75/5

Mayaanadhi Review

Cast: Tovino Thomas, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Illavarasu Year: 2017 Music: Rex Vijayan Direction: Aashiq Abu It took me hours to come out this film. Mayaanadhi is a type of film that traps you into its world and leaves you enthralled. In the opening sequence we hear Maathan (Tovino Thomas) taking about his future and we see sky as the visual. The future is vast and so far away like the sky. Mayaanadhi is a romantic thriller. The romance of Maathan and Aparna (Aishwarya Lekshmi) is just amazing and used wonderfully to the crime part of the film. Tovino as Maathan not only looks good but also his acting is brilliant. His small facial expressions like getting frustrated for a phone call or while motivating Aparna over call adds value to the character. Aishwarya Lekshmi as Aparna Ravi is also brilliant on screen. I loved the scene where she slaps Maathan, walks away fast, and then gradually slows down till she stops. One of the biggest things that Malayalam cinema doe...

Arjun Reddy Review

Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Shalini, Rahul Ramakrishna, Music: Radhan Direction: Sandeep Vanga When the film gets over and while you walk out of the theatre have you heard a few people saying “It’s a normal same old story” (No one did for this film). Arjun Reddy is such a film with same old story. Arjun Reddy (played by Vijay Deverakonda, about whom I will talk in a while) is a topper in his medical college and a short tempered guy with zero anger management. He meets a first year girl, Preethi (played by Shalini) and they fall in love. What happens to Arjun after his love failure is what explored in a unique way. So this not a film that you can expect every year. This is a film that has a beautiful narration enthralling you for 3 hours. The initial scenes when Arjun frequently visits Preethi are a little surprising as Preethi never utters a word whenever he visits her. You start thinking what kind of love it is. But the love that Arjun has on Preethi is explained in...

Aramm Review

Cast: Nayanthara, Ramesh, Vignesh Music: Ghibran Direction: Gopi Nainar I don’t know whether director wrote the district collector character to be women or changed it when Nayanthara was on board. Whatever it maybe, the female IAS officer has added the movie more authenticity. The decisions which Madhivadani (Nayanthara) takes towards the end of the film are emotional ones which we can’t see in a hero-centric films. We are used to hero diving into the situation, however tough it is, and completing the mission. The film is about the rescue mission of a small girl, Thanshika, who falls down inside an unclosed borewell hole. This is not that one day or one incident (like Gautham Menon’s hero tells) of Madhivadani, rather the issue is given more importance. So the most we know about Madhivadani is her name. The news channel debate that fills in the gap between two scenes is little annoying as it stresses the same point that of people of the village. The people o...
