Meesaya Murukku Review

Cast:            Hip hop Adhi, Vivek, Athmika, Vigneshkanth Music:         Hip hop Adhi Direction:    Hip hop Adhi Meesaya Murukku is neither complete fiction nor an autobiography. It’s somewhere in the middle so that audience can take what they want. The film is about Adhitya’s life (played by Hip hop Adhi) from school to independent artist. The story is simple and straightforward, yet it is enjoyable. Despite a known story the fresh actors, jazzy colors, innovative cuts make it a new experience. Vivek as Adhitya’s father and its delightful to watch the first scene where he talks a serious dialogue and in a matter of seconds change it to a comedy scene. I was impressed by the casting of school boy for Jeeva (played by Vigneshkanth) who looked alike the grownup Jeeva. Hip hop adhi has given a dream debut as an actor cum director. All the youtubers have done their part well to make this enjoyable. The only place where film was a little dragging was the senior-junior

Vikram Vedha Review

Cast:            Madhavan, Vijay Sethupathi, Music:         Sam C.S Direction:   Pushkar & Gayathri Police in search of a gangster. Vikram (played by Madhavan) and his team is in search of Vedha (played by Vijay sethupathi). So is it a good versus evil story? It’s rather ‘what is good and what is evil’ story. Vikram utters a dialogue “Everything is in details” which actually summarize the script by Pushkar & Gayathri. Before telling about the depth of detailing, the script is a mind boggling puzzle. Vedha likes to narrate his story, but the brilliance in writing makes the story relatable to Vikram. The story is predictable at times, but it never moves as one predicts. Vedha replaces a guy who is right hand to a gangster. Anyone would expect a revenge from that guy. But the directors had something else. The film is a puzzle. To solve a puzzle, one needs details. Even a small burn on Priya’s hand (played by Shraddha Srinath) and a bruise on a photo is used to sol

Pandigai Review

Cast:           Krishna, Anandhi, Saravanan Direction:    Feroz Music:         R.H. Vikram Pandigai, a name for the gambling event where two men fight brutally and others bet on them. Velu (played by Krishna) is a hotel management guy who tries for job in abroad. When he faces impede, desperately in need of money for his job, he starts to fight in Pandigai. He joins it through Muni (played by Saravanan) who also in need of money. As the film moves on many characters are revealed and each one changes the situation in the story.  One among them is Karunas who plays a small role yet he enthralls all the whistle and applause of the audience in a single scene. The film is brilliantly written that even a minute frame counts. The interval scene where one could witness a nail biting fight which ends in a way that brings neither joy nor sadness. When the first half ends everyone could find oneself at the edge of the seat. In the second half the robbery scene is exuberantly ex
