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 solve the puzzle and the story continues.

Vedha’s dialogues have philosophy despite of being a gangster. Vedha introduction in the screen is one of Vijay Sethupathi’s best intro scenes. Until his intro, Vedha is acclaimed a heinous gangster and his laugh at the climax justifies all the acclaims. Madhavan as Vikram is a perfect cast and he scores by handling th emotions so well.

The song in the second half where nearly 25 people dance inside a small room is shot brilliantly. The tone of the film with Sam C.S background score gives a near goose bumps experience at several places. The addition of humor in the script again shows the brilliance of writing. The humor has worked at most of the places.

Verdict: Well written script meets top notch performance.

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
