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...

DHURUVANGAL PATHINARU(D-16) REVIEW: Cast : Rahman, Ashwin Kumar Director : Karthik Naren Music: Jakes Bejoy A scene where Rahman asks two guys “ short film title enna?” “Pradhi(Director’s short film)”, replies the guys. Karthik Naren, a 22 year Coimbatore guy learning film making with short films and making his debut venture, Dhuruvangal Pathinaru. D-16 is about a cop (Rahman)  solving a murder.  In 1994, Pulp fiction, a film by Tarentino was popularly spoken for non linear narration. In 2016, D-16 will set a great example for such non linear narration. The narration does not spoon feed the details, but lets the audience do the thinking. You can find yourself thinking with Rahman during the film. The amount of detailing in the script makes it flawless without any logical loopholes. Rahman’ s acting glorify Karthik’s vision. Every other characters has a very crucial roles in the story and each of them had done their justice. The sounds and background music b...

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...
