Imaikka Nodigal Review

Cast: Nayanthara, Atharva, Anurag Kashyap, Raashi Khanna

Music: Hip Hop Thamizha

Direction: Ajay Gnanamuthu

Ajay gnanamuthu’s debut film ‘Demonte Colony’ was a brilliant horror film that happens inside a small house. That film did not have any flavor of AR Murugadoss, with whom he worked as assistant director. His second and the discussed film, ‘Imaikka Nodigal’ has a few flavors which is similar to Murugadoss’s films.

Let’s start with the antagonist’s characterization. Here it’s Rudra (played by Anurag Kashyap). He loves killing (though he has other motives) as similar to Murugadoss’s Spyder antagonist, Sudalai. Ajay’s screenplay is well written with twists as Murugadoss’ screenplay. AR Murugadoss film usually will be logical and suddenly we start questioning the logic. Imaikka Nodigal had the same problem.

The title Imaikka Nodigal, meaning blink less eye, is beautifully justified in the story. The film is well written. Rudra narrates a story to Anjali (played by Nayanthara) about lion and hyna while meeting her. Later, we know the inner meaning of that story. The dialogue at the end saying “Every move in the world is because of love” justifies all characters.

As the dialogue, it’s love that defines the character’s actions. Arjun (played by Atharava) who plays as Anjali’s brother has a parallel romance track with Raashi Khanna. This is what makes the first half of the film less engaging. All actors have played for the character. Anurag’s acting magnified by the voice given by Magizh thirumeni. His voice acts. This film can easily be with a male character as lead, but it’s Nayanthara who pulls off. Kudos for it.

Verdict: Thriller on love

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...

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 ...

Bharat ane nenu Review

Cast: Mahesh Babu, Kiara Advani, Prakash Raj, Sarath Kumar Music: Devi Sri Prasad Direction: Koratala Siva Bharat (Mahesh Babu), a five degree holder comes to India from London after hearing the news of his father’s demise. Raghava (Sarath Kumar) is Bharat’s father and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Varadaraj (Prakash Raj), a close friend of Raghava wants Bharat to be the next Chief Minister. He becomes the Chief Minister. In the first scene of the film, Bharat answering to the question why he has five degrees that he does not know many things and want to learn. That’s some solid writing by Koratala Siva. He takes up the CM post because he does not know anything about it, which he honestly admits at first day of his charge. Another well written and edited scene is when the young Bharat eats ice cream breaking his promise to his mother. The following advice on promise becomes Bharat’s life principle. The scene one expects someone saying Bharat has not eaten ...
