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

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 ...
