Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru Review


Cast: Karthi, Rakul Preet Singh, Bose Venkat, Abhimanyu Singh
Music: Ghibran
Direction: H. Vinoth

A powerful antagonist makes a police story interesting. What if it’s a community rather than a single person? This film has one such group who is involved in highway dacoit across the country. The power of that group is established in a scene just after the interval. That village scene just brings out ‘OMG’ reaction. In order to know about their brutality, the dacoit scene will give you shivers (brilliantly executed action).

This film is based on a highway dacoit case which involved series of dacoits between 1995 and 2003. This group is behind all the dacoits as well the crux of this film. The story for their behavior which involves history is brilliant and makes the film even more exciting. The only evidence across all these cases is fingerprints and how Theeran (played by Karthi) hunt them down? This cop story does not have high pitch punch dialogues which makes the more realistic.


H vinoth’s previous venture ‘Sathuranga Vettai’ was well appreciated for the dialogues. This film will be appreciated for its wonderful action scenes. The dacoit scenes as said earlier were brilliant and the action in running bus is again brilliantly executed. The interval action is one of the best part of the film. Once the intermission card props up, you will realize that this is a film.

Is there any check-boxes in film making too? The love between Theeran and Priya ( Rakul) was just like a misfit to the whole plot. Even though it’s misfit, atleast it could have been cliché free. The hero’s friend advises him to follow her, heroine in spite of having feelings for him makes him follow her. An item song which is cherry on the top for cliché list. All these could have been avoided.


Sathya ( wonderfully played by bose venkat) sees a dog in the crime scene and raises it. Later there are two wonderful scenes with the dog (one of which is my favorite scene of this film). The music, cinematography, editing enhances the movie watching experience.


Verdict: What a hunt down!!

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...

Mayaanadhi Review

Cast: Tovino Thomas, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Illavarasu Year: 2017 Music: Rex Vijayan Direction: Aashiq Abu It took me hours to come out this film. Mayaanadhi is a type of film that traps you into its world and leaves you enthralled. In the opening sequence we hear Maathan (Tovino Thomas) taking about his future and we see sky as the visual. The future is vast and so far away like the sky. Mayaanadhi is a romantic thriller. The romance of Maathan and Aparna (Aishwarya Lekshmi) is just amazing and used wonderfully to the crime part of the film. Tovino as Maathan not only looks good but also his acting is brilliant. His small facial expressions like getting frustrated for a phone call or while motivating Aparna over call adds value to the character. Aishwarya Lekshmi as Aparna Ravi is also brilliant on screen. I loved the scene where she slaps Maathan, walks away fast, and then gradually slows down till she stops. One of the biggest things that Malayalam cinema doe...

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 ...
