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.

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...

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...

October Review

Cast: Varun Dawan, Banita Sandhu, Gitanjali Rao Music: Shantanu Moitra Written by: Juhi Chaturvedi Direction: Shoojit Sircar Love, one of the trickiest emotion and often showed in a clichéd manner is so refreshing in this film. Juhi Chaturvedi has written a beautiful story about love and with Shoojith Sircar’s elegant direction, October is a heart-warming film. Danish Walia(played by Varun Dawan), called ‘Dan’, is a hotel management internee at a five star hotel. His co-worker, Shiuli Iyer(played by Banita Sandhu), accidentally falls off from 30 feet height. Shiuli Iyer slips into coma and Dan’s character undergoes a transformation. Dan has temperament issues, while working as internee and later he becomes mature. Varun Dawan has completely transformed into Dan, as I could witness the character than the actor. Banita Sandhu’s performance emote the audience’s emotions. The scenes where she responds are heart-warming. The screenplay is well written and d...
