Kalakalpu 2 Review

Cast: Jeeva, Jai, Mirchi Shiva, Nikki Galrani, Catherine Thressa

Music: Hip hop Thamizha

Direction: Sundar C

The one line plot of Kalakalapu 2 or any Tamil comedy films is simple and the story always involves searching of as expensive item in the wrong person’s hands. Kalakalapu (the first one) had some emotions in the story (changing the hotel) along with comedy. But Kalakalapu 2 is just about comedy.

This full length comedy story involves an ex-minister in search of his auditor, Jai in search of his ancestral house and Jeeva in search of someone. This film has a lot of characters and everyone is in search of someone/something. Sundar C has efficiently managed all the characters in a way that each character makes you laugh in at least one scene.

Even with many characters the screenplay is not gripping. It’s like a wave with one great comedy followed by a mediocre comedy. I really loved the scenes of Radha Ravi with his assistant and a chase in second half. After the comedy involving the chase, the film falls flat with great comedy.

Jeeva, Jai, Mirchi Shiva have done their part well and Shiva stands out among the three. In a comedy film one can’t expect a great character for heroines, but the glamour forced into scenes could have been avoided. The songs were shot beautifully with all possible colours on screen, but every song was break in narration.

Verdict: A usual entertaining Sundar C comedy.

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
