BOGAN REVIEW


Cast:             Jeyam Ravi, Aravind Swamy, Hansika, Akshara
Direction:     Lakshman
Music:           D.Imman

Bogan, the ‘Romeo Juliet’ crew’s second film with the much appreciated ‘Thani Oruvan’ duo, is a commercial film with a fantasy concept of body swapping forming the core idea of the plot. The script is well written with a great content for a feature film. But the screenplay played a downside during the progress of the film.

The Jeyam Ravi and Aravind Swamy duo’s performance cannot be compared to their previous film, yet their performance is brilliant. The body language shift and their expressions in the second half of the film is definitely a treat to the audience. The film does not kick start with a engaging story as it starts with jejune romance of Hansika and Ravi. Hansika’s dubbing voice has a lot of expressions while her face remains impassive.

As the movie starts dull, it takes time to gain pace and interest the audience. Once the main story starts, the film is very engaging with a entertaining cat-mouse game. When the audience comes to a conclusion that it is going to end well, the movie runs into a below average fight climax. The screenplay is brilliant at a few portions and as well as worse when climax seems to be extended and misplaced songs.

Bogan doesn not look or feel like a normal commercial film only because of the background score and cinematography. Soundararajan, the cinematographer has captured each shot with great clolours giving a luxury feeling throughout the film. Though Imman’s songs are not note worthy, his background score is brilliant and many will be waiting for its Jukebox and ringtones to be released.

Verdict: A good meal without desserts.

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...
