Thondan Review



Cast:           Samuthirakani, Vikranth, Sunaina
Music:        Justin Prabhakaran
Direction:   Samuthirakani

A ironic scene, a person brutally assassinated in front of a Gandhi statue opens the film. This is not the only scene which happens with reference to some leader or Tamil sayings. Either its Thiruvalluvar statue or his saying that is referred.

When Samuthirakani is on the director chair, powerful dialogues are expected in a comedy scenes. A scene where Samuthirakani meets a politician, the later question about the former’s caste and he replies with a lengthy dialogue which not only talks about caste politics but drifts to jallikattu protests. Though the dialogue delivery by Samuthirakani is top notch, the dialogue is inappropriate. 
The dialogues are sharp and sensible but inappropriate to the film.

As the few inappropriate dialogues, a few scenes hinders the progress the film. The colony where Samuthirakani lives forms a group to find the thief of their belongings. The answer to who the thief is unknown.

Samuthirakani’s acting is professional except the romance scenes where he becomes amateur. Vikrant’s role does not add value to the film except a few social dialogues and a mundane song. The film talks about importance of ambulance, farmers and a few more but not collectively as a whole film. The film becomes predictable at few places and reduces the excitement within the audience.

Justin’s songs and background score sadly does not uplift the emotions. The camera view from top of the ambulance is appreciable. The comedy of Ganja Karupu works negligibly.


Verdict: A film made for a few scenes.

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
