When compared to the recently released set of Macha-Macha comedy movies in Tamil, Rajini Murugan directed by Ponram is a much better entertainer. If you go and check the sensibility of situations and the logic in them, the film won’t please you. But for an audience who are just looking for wit elements along with… Continue reading Rajini Murugan

The real stars of director Bala’s Tharai Thappattai are Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and R K Suresh. Bala’s signature style character molding was there in Tharai Thappattai, but unfortunately the story that narrates the miserable life of the backward classes isn’t that emotionally captivating. Sannasi has this group of dancers and musicians who performs at festivals to… Continue reading Tharai Thappattai

Kathakali is an attempt to cater the typical Tamil mass masala formula of the common man becoming a revenge thirsty superman by having a slightly different treatment.

But with preachy feel and typical entertainment… Continue reading Pasanga 2

The new venture of the VIP team, Thanga Magan starring Dhanush is more on the emotional side. The elaborately stretched first half and the uneven second half has definitely dragged the movie in to an average zone, but certain style of depiction of relationships makes the movie look refreshing occasionally. The heroics and attachments can’t… Continue reading Thanga Magan

The only disappointment for me in the case of Thoongaavanam was that they haven’t tried to reinterpret the whole backdrop of the film to make it look different from the original. Except for that key factor, Thoongaavanam is a well made situational thriller which has done complete justice to the original French version Sleepless Night.… Continue reading Thoongaavanam

Vedalam from Siva is definitely a treat for the diehard fans of superstar Ajith. If you go for the content part of this film, there isn’t anything amusing, convincing or sensible. But nobody is expecting such stuff from the maker and in between the clichéd and much exaggerated style of storytelling; Siva manages to create… Continue reading Vedalam
