Kandasamy Movie Review

Kandasamy, one of the most expected tamil film has finally hit the big screens. the much awaited Vikram fans can no longer wait to see their hero's movie. The big film starring Vikram, Shreya and Vadivelu is directed by Susi Ganesan and produced by kalipuli S Thanu. The music for the film is performed by Devi Shree Prasad. I feel that as far as the songs are concerned it could have been even more better. In my view songs and music are only average level.

Chiyaan Vikram has a winner in Kandasamy. It is pure commercial masala entertainer that strikes a fine balance between style and substance, and also has a neat message. Susi Ganeshan has constructed an engrossing action driven adventure with panache.The film has all the trademark superhero-movie elements like flashy action scenes and eye-popping special effects. But in many ways, it is not the typical super-hero film that one imagines it to be. Well, that’s the twist in the tale which we will not reveal as it will be a spoiler.

The story is focussed on how the daring hero as a CBI officer uncovers illegal black money and how he helps the poor with that money. For this he uses god's name and so it creates a feeling that god is serving public who are in need of money to achieve their basic needs. As far shreya is concerned she sizzles in the film and on the whole she looks charming and attractive. Vikram has also played his part as a hero and lin fact vadivelu invites laughter in the film.

On the whole the director's screenplay could have been even more better and he could have handled these great stars even more better. The film is not satisfactory and in my view it is not as expected though it may be good entertainer to certain people. Just watch the film at theatre and post your comments.

Acchamundu Achhamundu Movie Review

Achamundu Achamundu directed by Arun vaidyanathan stars prassana and sneha. The music for this film is composed by kathik raja. This film is about the dark events that take place in various parts of the world which are hard to digest but at the same time cannot be dismissed off. Although the theme of child abuse is a serious issue and has the potency to take on a different shade with even the slightest skew, Arun Vaidhyanathan has done a tightrope walking commendably with absolutely no shades of vulgarity or impropriety.

Although itr is a slow moving film in certain aspects, it nevertheless travels in a linear fashion without even the slightest detour. The lady lead sneha has sure enjoyed her role every inch and essayed it with a flourish. Prasanna and Sneha have lived like a married couple very much in love and their romance is a thing of beauty. Prasanna’s courage in choosing such meaningful films should be applauded. John Shea’s performance as the painter is natural and brings a chill down our spine.

Overall i feel that this film is doing good and these films are really necessary for tamil film industry. Anyways let us wish this film a grand success.

Sarvam Review!

Sarvam, directed by Vishnuvardhan stars Arya and Trisha, is a story built with a simple idea. The music is played by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the film is produced by Ayngaran International. It’s about three people whose lives take a drastic turn in a flash. Yes, life can change in a flash, but what is more important is how we deal with the change. There are some who drown themselves into sorrow and self pity while there are others who look at what remains and try to find happiness. Sarvam shows the clash of wills of two people who deal in different ways to the losses they faced in their life.

Karthik is a young successful architect. Tall, handsome and charming, he seems to have everything going for him in life. Then he meets Sandhya, a girl who sets violins playing in his heart. He decides that she is the girl for him. But, deciding is the easy part, wooing her is not as easy as he imagined. She is not just a beautiful girl who will fall easily to the charms of a young man. She is a doctor in one of the city’s top hospitals and Karthik becomes a regular visitor, making all kinds of efforts to woo his love. You can sense the relationship growing. Eventually, it is a romance that never was destined to be.

Director Vishnuvardhan had said that the movie is actually two movies in one. Yes, he is true to his word. Sarvam really does feel like two movies in one. But, does the double impact work? Basically, Sarvam is a thriller and unfortunately it does not grip us in a manner that a thriller should. It would be better to analyze the movie as two separate halves. The first is light, breezy and romantic; quite uncharacteristic of a Vishnuvardhan film of recent times. The lead pair, Arya and Trisha for the first time on screen, has got some excellent chemistry. Though there is not much comedy, there are moments of humor.

The second half is a chase for most parts. But, the chase does not engage you. The scenes which show the bonding between Karthik and the young boy do not work as intended. The Rottweiler which was talked about a lot appears wasted. It would be right to say that it was overused and hence the impact that it would have had gets heavily diluted. Action sequences do not get the adrenaline going, the excitement is low.

At a point, Arya is scarred with a knife dipped in poison. One might think that it would go on to have a big impact in the movie but fizzles out into nothingness. It all seems contrived to driving the final few frames into a haunted looking run down church in the middle of the jungle. And, importantly, the climax seems hurried and fails to leave an impression. Sarvam is a move that rides on its visuals throughout. An enjoyable first half is negated by a slack second. Half way into the second half, the first seems like a distant memory. Vishnuvardhan has proved that as a director he has got lots of flair and style. It is the writing that lets him down

Newtonin Moondram Vidhi - Movie Review

This film is starred by SJ Surya and directed by Thai Muthu Selvan. This film is quite distinct in its concept. A hero out to avenge the death of his lover at the hands of the villain. That is the basic plot of Newtonin Moondram Vidhi. Familiar plot, you might think; love, treachery and revenge. But this one is different right from the first frame.

These initial formalities done, we plunge straight into the story which involves a scheming, lecherous and treacherous media tycoon at its center. He is the perfect gentleman to the outside world but in reality his hands are stained with the blood of many a young woman, most of whom are employees in his own concerns. Any woman who does not agree to his vile demands is not spared alive. And, our protagonist’s lover (Sayali Bhagath) too falls prey to this man.

The script begins to grip you right after this with S.J. Suryah taking it upon himself to unravel the mystery behind his fiancée’s death. He first finds out the perpetrator of the crime. Seething with anger and pain, the obvious thing that a normal Tamil cinema hero would have done is to barge into this man’s office, confront all his bodyguards and smash his skull or shoot him straight through his heart. But, that is where writer-director Thai Muthuchelvan must be commended on. He has crafted a script that truly stands apart. S.J. Suryah’s character realizes that his target is no sitting duck to be shot easily, he needs to have a foolproof plan and execute it to perfection.

He spends nearly a year gathering all the information and resources he needs for the final strike. When he’s ready, he throws a veiled challenge to the tycoon and then begins a riveting two way chase, each trying to get the other before the other gets to one, and it is all set in two hours. Who wins in the end might be an easy guess, but how he does it is the crux and indeed gripping. There is absolutely no over the board heroism, no gravity defying stunts, not even the hero striking down 10 baddies, the script defies all concepts of heroism in Tamil cinema. The way the villain is finally finished might make viewer’s think whether it is possible, but as the director claimes ‘it has been scientifically proven’. We could do with the ratification of an ammunitions expert.

Overall, Newtonin Moondram Vidhi is a film that will stand apart for its script and treatment. It keeps one engaged right from the start to the end, does not slacken in the interim. The treatment, though different, might be a tad too strong for families. A rape scene in particular and violence and blood necessitated by the script make it difficult to be recommended for children. But, all said and done, Newtonin Moondram Vidhi will be a good and different watch. It will also help S.J. Suryah break free from his long standing playboy image.
