Jigarthanda

Jigarthanda directed by Karthik Subbaraj is a mix of good inspirations. The young director has adapted the style of Quentin Tarantino to depict the humor within the violence and the story reminded me of Malayalam hits Best Actor and Udayananu Thaaram (bowfinger) at many occasions. But with a treatment that we are not used to… Continue reading Jigarthanda

Velaiyilla Pattathari

The movie Velaiyilla Pattathari has two dialogues which I believe establishes the kind of fun it’s going to offer its viewer. One is when our central protagonist compares his bad luck in life with the Titanic story and the second one is in the second half where again our main character explains his struggle to… Continue reading Velaiyilla Pattathari

Kochadaiiyaan

Super star Rajnikanth has this charismatic larger than life image on screen that has made him famous all around the world. Using him in a motion capture animation film and delivering a shoddy output cannot be justified if the makers say they have budget limitations. Constructed on a wafer- thin idea that has all the… Continue reading Kochadaiiyaan

Naan Sigappu Manithan

Shankar used multiple personality disorder in Anniyan, Murugadoss used short term memory lose in Ghajini and now it was Thiru’s chance to create heroism using disorders. He chose narcolepsy as the nucleolus of Naan Sigappu Manithan. But unfortunately Thiru couldn’t use this idea to a good extent. The plot diverts continuously and the film seems… Continue reading Naan Sigappu Manithan

Cukoo

The beauty of Cukoo lies in its innocence. With an emotionally high climax that has extraordinary performance from the leading man Attakathi Dinesh, Cukoo reaches its destination safely. Very fewer exaggerations compared to conventional Tamil film making and less melodramatic approach to the soul of the movie helps Cukoo in taking us along with it… Continue reading Cukoo

Nimirnthu Nil

Nimirnthu Nil directed by Samuthirakani gets derailed because of the confusion in treatment, whether to go commercial or stick to its heart. Made in the same platform of many Shankar films, this movie had the scope to become an influential film like Rang De Basanthi, but the compromises made to make it look filmy reduces… Continue reading Nimirnthu Nil

Bramman

An atrocious analysis of sacrifice- that is what I can say about the latest Sasikumar starrer Bramman. The dialogue humors in the movie mainly by Santhanam and Soori keeps the movie alive at many occasions but the way the movie goes in to that Kadha Parayumbol / Kuselan mode is something totally crappy. On top… Continue reading Bramman

Goli Soda

We have seen a lot of films in Tamil that tries to narrate the story where a common man hero will fight against a mighty villain who spoiled his life. Goli Soda, the new film written and directed by Vijay Milton somewhat repeats the same idea; but takes a huge risk of replacing a commercial… Continue reading Goli Soda
