Kavan Review

KAVAN REVIEW


Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, T Rajendar, Madonna Sebastian, Vikranth,  Akashdeep Saighal
Music: Hiphop Tamizha
Story & Screenplay: K V Anand, Subha, Kabilan Vairamuthu
Direction: K V Anand

Thilak’s (Vijay Sethupathi)  interest towards documentary filming is shown in the title card followed by he joining a big television channel. While entering the channel, he captures a riot before the channel. When his captured video is telecasted but partially, he questions the editor and the questions are suppressed. The anger inside him fizzes out at some point and what happens is the story of kavan.

The movie starts with the channel’s activities to grab audience attention and get a high TRP rating. The truth of the reality shows are well scripted. Though some might seem it boring as it does not foster the story. The love between  Thilan and Malar (Madonna Sebastian) has a less screen space yet well established is because of their on screen chemistry. The choice of Madonna, Vikranth and T Rajendar is a brilliant move by K V Anand. T Rajendar has portrayed a character as close to his real life. His rhyming dialogues are always treat to hear. The art works in his office are extremely innovative and attractive.  

The interview scene is well staged with a mix of hilarious dialogues and serious scenes. Vijay Sethupathi’s mannerisms from sarcasm to expressing high emotions, he steals the show. The interval scenes where he face offs with Akashdeep with a smile is refreshing to watch instead of high pitched punch dialogues. Akashdeep just reminds me of Kamalesh ( Ayan’s antagonist) even though he is the same guy who played that character. His body language, the way he flips his long hair back is a bit odd as it reminds another movie. 

The film is packed with great twists keeping you throughout except for the songs. Hiphop Adhi’s songs are good but background score is too monotonous. Definitely KV Anand- Harris combo will be missed. The movie dialogues are almost relatable to anyone. For instance, Vikranth says “ Sitting in social media and trolling is not enough. Everyone should come out and protest”. These are instantly relatable to our recent happenings.

Verdict: Right on target.

3.25/5

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
