Taramani Review



Cast:           Vasanth Ravi, Andrea Jeremiah
Music:        Yuvan Shankar Raja
Direction:   Ram

When Althea ( Andrea Jeremiah), a girl working in a corporate stands aside in shade to avoid rain and Prabhunath ( Vasanth Ravi) is sitting under the same shade. Althea’s mind runs all the news related to rape. Prabhu mind reads and tells “I am not going to rape you”. Prabhu opens up about his past and scenes later try to tell you this is yet another romance film. After the film, I would still call it a romance film but narrated in the most unique way. Their love is not disturbed because of different castes but different life styles. Althea and Prabhunath’s characters are brilliant and the way it changes as their life moves on (as film moves on) is beautiful and convincing.

The film starts in a unusual way with Ram’s voice explaining why six women are praying that India to lose in the ‘India versus Sri Lanka’ cricket match. After you hear the explanation, you would think the film is gonna unravel in different way. As Althea and Prabhu starts talking we start thinking why did the director write a scene like this? How could this happen in real life? Ram answers such questions with his voice over dialogues. He claims his voice overs as Facebook status between the movie, but those were the most happening moments of the film.

In one of his voice overs, he tells that ‘he is tying head and legs together, it’s up to you to understand’. The story of the later half ties knot with the first half of the film in a surprising manner. A same kind of situation is explored in three different perspectives. One involves Vasanth Ravi, Azhagam Perumal and the producer himself as cop. The film touches everyone’s soul at the end of their perceptives.

The story tries to explore many elements and the delighted that it has convincingly captured the emotions. When Althea is harassed in the office by her boss, the way she handles it make you feel that every women show be like her. They always say men have some privileges which woman don’t and the film elegantly breaks it. Andrea’s performance definitely needs a special mention. She nailed it as Althea.

The ariel shots of sea, Taramani and many more are so breath taking. As we add different flavors to our food, the background music  adds emotions to the film. when Ram tries to explain what a guy will do when he starts loving a girl is hilarious and along with Yuvan’s music it creates that extra laugh responsible for our cheeks to ache. His music towards the clichéd climax is what makes everyone to move towards the edge of the seat.


Verdict: Matured romance with satirical commentary

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
