Tamil Padam 2 Review

Cast: Shiva, Ishwarya Menon, Sathish

Music: N Kannan

Direction: C S Amudhan

Tamil padam, a film which was released in 2010 was a path breaking film. It was a spoof of most iconic Tamil films released until then. C S Amudhan, the director, had started the second film named ‘Rendavadhu Padam’ which was dropped for various reasons. Now he has come up with the sequel of his first film. Tamil Padam 2 gives a lot more enjoyable spoofs than its prequel. The variety in the spoofs in unimaginable situations makes the movie entertaining.

From the Agila Ulaga Super Star title card to end credits, there is non-stop spoofs. I was surprised to see a continuous spoof on Devar Magan. The death of Shiva’s wife is related to death of Sivaji Ganesan, there is a scene where the bridegroom runs away and Shiva steps up to marry her and finally the climax. This stood unique to me among the scattered spoofs. Another interesting spoof was of Iruthi Suttru, which was well sink with the lyrics of that film’s song.

Generally background music has always used to give us cue to what to expect from that scene or to express the emotion. But in this film, the background score is cue to find the original film related to the spoof. The writing brings in all the spoofs well in place with the narration waiting for what the next film would be spoofed is itself an interesting thing.

C S Amudhan’s writing or N Kannan’s music wouldn’t have worked unless it was Shiva. His small looks he gives, his dance (the best part of the film) and even his bad puns make us laugh. The director tries to bring in everything he finds spoof material. The subtle things like the bed when Shiva falls down, the pic of Obama and Shiva makes everyone to notice the background too and have some laugh.

The way C S Amudhan connects the prequel to this film or the dialogues or bringing in game of thrones makes our stomach pain due to laughter. An applause to him for keeping a love failure song for heroine bashing the hero and guys.

Verdict: A laughter riot for a Tamil movie fans.

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
