Kuttram 23 Review

Cast: Arun Vijay, Mahima Nambiyar, Abinaya, Thambi Ramaiah

Direction: Arivazhagan

Music: Vishal Chandrashekar

Vetrimaran, Assistant commissioner of Police played by Arun Vijay takes charge of a missing girl case. She later found dead and the hunt for the mystery starts. The story is based on the novel ’ Kuttram 23’ by Rajesh Kumar. The medical crime that is delineated is a new attempt which is appreciable. The plot is very well written with a few unexpected knots. When the movie starts to create a impact on everyone, it gets diluted by a long family drama.

Arun Vijay looks smart and fit for a cop role. His body language as a police is perfect and the stunt sequences are a treat to watch. Abinaya, who plays a crucial role has also performed well. But a police crime thriller without a antagonist make the interesting subject dull. This film too becomes dull once the mystery is revealed.

Thambi Ramaiah, as a assistant to Arun Vijay, makes us laugh without disturbing the flow of narration. He gets a applause for a scene in the second half and he makes some dull scenes enjoyable.

The music is supporting the film, but does not enhance the watching experience. The cinematographer has done a decent work making the film look pleasant. The movie could have been trimmed some of the family drama making it more intense.

Verdict: An acidic plot diluted by drama.

3/5

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

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

Thoughts on Vishwaroopam

*Spoiler ahead With Vishwaroopam 2 scheduled to release around this weekend (Hopefully, considering all Kamal films face release issues), I decided to write on the things that I loved in Vishwaroopam. Vishwaroopam 2 is a prequel as well as a sequel to the 2013 release Vishwaroopam. Kamal Hassan as a writer and director has always impressed me more than the actor. Vishwaroopam is a treat for someone like me who likes the writer Kamal Hassan. The story of Vishwaroopam starts with Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) talking to her counselor about her relationship with Vishwanath (Kamal Hassan) and her secret relationship with Deepak (her boss). Kamal Hassan’s writing is clever. See how Nirupama refers to him to her counselor, as Wiz, which is short from of his real name Wizam Ahmed Kasmiri also for his spy name Vishwanath. Only a very few actors have command over their body. Kamal Hassan has mastered it. The transformation scene, where he fights after being innocent works every tim
