BHAIRAVAA  REVIEW
Cast:        Vijay, Keethy Suresh, Jagabathi Babu, Daniel Balaji, Satheesh.
Director:  Bharhathan
Music:     Santhosh Narayanan

Bhairavaa, Vijay’s second collaboration with Bharhathan after an average film, Azhagiya Tamil Magan came as a shock to many, yet creating curiosity about it. The movie starts with a regular hero parasail dialogue followed by the hero introduction and then a fight sequence. The film has a pre structured screenplay, director has to just fit the story to the structure. The plot revolves around a social message which does not leave any impact.

Vijay’s looks has always been the guy next door, but the hair wig alienate him. Except the artificial look, his performance is commendable as he is the one man who makes this watchable. The coin trick he does is eye catching. Vijay songs usually are electrifying that creates a energetic environment in the theatre, but Bhairavaa songs creates a wearisome environment. Even though songs supress Vijay’s dance moves, his small move in ‘Nillayoo’ song is adorable. Vijay’s potential is wasted in the film.

Keethy Suresh, Jagabathi Babu, Daniel Balaji are under utilized. When it’s a commercial film, the hero-villain rivalry adds spice to the film. Bhairavaa’s biggest setback is the poor hero-villain rivalry. The stunt sequence are brilliantly choreographed, especially the first fight( cricket fight) and the interval block fight. The graphics is very poor at a few places. The cinematography by Sukumar is a highlight to the film.

The songs are below average and background score is no less to the songs.’ Varlam va Varlam va’ track is catchy and only background saving certain scenes. Some dialogues are sensible but most dialogues are mundane, especially dialogues comparing hero to deity. The humour scarcely works throughout the film.

Verdict: An old wine in an old bottle.

2.5/5

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...

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...

Velaikkaran Review

Cast: Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara, Fahad Fazil, Rohini Music: Anirudh Direction: Mohan Raja Mohan Raja decides to narrate the core problem from the first scene. The narration dialogue in the opening relating genetic disorder and social hierarchy tells the director has brought us another social issue. The problem which Arivu (Sivakarthikeyan) face gets dedicated attention. The story and screenplay is written around the problem which get rids of unnecessary contents. Yet we get a duet song post interval which seems misfit. Arivu’s character is brilliantly written and its Sivakarthikeyan’s best in his career. He opens a radio station for his slum and he wants to awake his slum people from certain misguided things. This trait becomes huge as film progress and now he cares for whole nation. The stories inside the slum and the main problem get linked in a marvellous way. The scene that relates two different professions is amazing. The film has many characters and not ...
