Reviews

Plot:- Vishal finds his father and brothers from whom his mother kept him away; Once after he meets his father Prabhu, and his brothers Satheesh and Vaibhav, Prabhu insists that they must marry the 3 daughters of their 3 Aunties and unite their families; How Vishal wins the hearts of his aunties is what Aambala is all about.

Positives:- It is a typical Sundar.C movie portrayed in Hari's style; Generally, Sundar films are all Power-packed comedy entertainers; Aambala too delivers the same effect throughout the film; There is nothing great about this masala flick but it has a lot to laugh; Santhanam is back with his comedy one-liners and he makes the whole theater into a laugh riot; Vishal delivers a decent performance and he has some scope to show his mass; Everyone in the film has done a decent job; HipHop Tamizhan BGM is good.

Negatives:- As usual the film has same Sundar.C type story; It has a theft/heist scene which is very usual in most of his films right from Ullathai allitha, Winner, Kalakalappu and once again in Aambala. The fight sequences are ridiculous and it makes the film look like a Scoop movie. This is not a dream debut for Aadhi as Music Director since all the songs are boring except "Pazhagikkalam". Vishal's dance moves are very hard to watch since the choreography is poor. Especially in Aye Aye song, Vishal finishes a step once after all the co-dancers finishes them;

Bottomline:- Aambala is not an excellent film but if you are a fan of Comedy Entertainers, 2;30hrs of Entertainment is Guaranteed in Aambala.

Verdict:- Leave your brains aside and Enjoy Aambala. Rating:-6/10

Just watched "Kaaviya Thalaivan". Once again Vasantha balan has given a different and a good film. This film is really something which doesn't go well with the commercial audience. But Vasantha balan has given this in an engaging manner. A different movie which brings the pre-independence era and the drama troops lively on the screen. This film slightly reminds me of the "Sivaji ganesan" starrer yesteryear blockbuster film "Rajapart Rangadurai".

Positives:- Right from the title, Siddarth and Prithviraj steals the show. This is the best performance of Siddarth till date. And my favourite of the film is the Cunning and evil character of Prithviraj. Even though Prithviraj has done similar roles in the past in Mollywood, he shows lots of maturity in this film. Everyone has done their job in a perfect manner. Nassar, Tambi ramaiah, Ponvannan, singampuli, Vedhika and the list of characters has given justice to their role. Music:- AR.Rahman's music adds a feather to this movie. He has produced a different album with hummable numbers, Aye Mr.Minor, Vanga makka and My fav. Yaarumilla song and the BGM suits the period of the film. Negatives:- The character of the Princess is mischievous but the actress doesn't looks promising this movie. Her smile and performance was really irritating for me. The scenes are almost predictable.

Threats:- While I was in awe of appreciation during the end as I do for every movie I feel good, I noticed that I was the only person left in the Theatre as everyone left early without watching the full movie.

Verdict:- Leave the usual masala aspects aside and Watch "Kaaviya Thalaivan" as a different recipe. You will really love this new flavour. My rating:- 10/10 simply for the efforts and execution

Right from the announcement of the project "I", the expectations went to sky high as Shankar and Vikram joined hands for the second time after the blockbuster "Anniyan". The film had close to three years of hard work with lots of effort especially from the "Man of Steel" Vikram; His hard work and dedication went on to become the trending topic in all social networking sites; When Arnold came to the Audio launch, it added one more peak for the expectation; Does it really meet with the expectations? It is all about this review.

Plot:- This is really a simple plot; This is a revenge story of a wounded lover, who was injected with a virus called "I" and turned from Beauty to Beast. This is an outdated love-revenge story and it is surprising that Shankar went on to make it into a Magnus Opus project. Vikram as Lee/Lingesan loves Diya(Amy) and after he was brutally affected by "I" he takes revenge on his enemies; Will he succeed in his mission? Will he win his love interest? How can he come back to normal? Go and watch "I" to unfold the answers.

Performances: - Vikram as Lingesan/Lee is the soul of the film; His dedication and hard work are evident in each and every frame of the film; He looks dashing as Lee, the model; Amy, Ram kumar, Santhanam, Suresh gopi and many more has their moments in the film; The fight sequence in the Gym is outstanding; Song visuals are stunning and adds feather to PC Sreeram; Music album is good and has some hummable numbers by ARRahman. The film is very rich and a pleasant to watch its visuals as it is so colorful; Art Direction needs a special mention as it has reached another level in Indian cinema; Santhanam's comedy is laughable at places; Vikram as Hunchback character needs a special mention.

Negatives:- There are a lot to say; The story is very weak; This is not worthy enough for making it into a big budget film; Many of the sequences are predictable especially the characterization of Suresh Gopi; The narration between two stories with a blood circulation sequence CG is as similar as the transformation part in "Anniyan"; The way Hunchback vikram takes revenge on Ram Kumar with Honey bees is as similar as "Anniyan" when he kills factory owner with insects . The dialogues are too lousy except "Athukkum Mela"; It shows the importance of Sujatha in Shankar's films; BGM is really a letdown; It seems like ARR has scored this music unwillingly; Cycle fight sequence is logicless and Vikram's dupe is very evident; Train sequence and Transgender portions are really horrible to watch; How can a man with Hunchback can jump, run, chase and switch from carriage to carriage having a well fitted body builder? Shankar has really failed in this part; Powerstar should have been avoided; The mention about the virus "I" (H4N2) is delivered in very few places.

Bottomline: Even Homer nods and Shankar is not an Exception. Shankar's movies are always expected a lot because he is capable of it; How can we digest when India's best Director finds a fall in his career! I, as a fan of Shankar hope that He will come back stronger soon.

Verdict:- Vikram deserves a standing ovation but the film doesn't.

Whenever a Film is planned to go for a Trilogy, it just takes off heavily in the first part, travels smoothly during the second part and ends up with a collision in a tragic manner in the last/3rd part; I experienced this shock during the final part of "The Hobbit" trilogy by the end of 2014 which was a lot disappointing; Now it the same end to the most awaited "Taken 3". The title itself is not justified in this film; We all know Kim is taken by the antagonist in both the first two parts; But in this part no one is taken rather than Bryan's wife is killed; So "Killed" is the correct title for this film; It also fails to impress the audience with its sloppy screenplay; Performances:- The film largely depends on one of my favorite actors and the lead character (Bryan)Liam Neeson. He really takes the credit for a stupendous performance;It is to be noted that he is getting very old, but apart from that he run, jumps, fights and attracts us with his affection with his daughter Kim; Forest Whitaker as LAPD should have been given more importance;He has a major role in this film but the director used him just to advertise the "Doughnut" as he seems to be eating Doughnut throughout the film; Negatives:- The so called twists and the turning points which are very essential for an action entertainer is really missing in this film; There is a Twist in this film which is predictable in the first 30 minutes of the film itself; No one can be criticized for their performance in this film except the direction and its presentation. Worth a watch if you haven't seen the first two parts of "Taken Trilogy". My rating:- 7/10 Verdict:- With the final part of a Trilogy,Expectation reaches its peak for the audience but it is never paid off

Eega/Naan ee is one of the most expected films in the year 2012. It has rocked the expectations with 200% to the audience. In some of the scenes it gives a feel that it is an Hollywood movie to the audience. DIRECTION:

This is the best direction ever made in the Indian film industry. Rajamouli has really did a fantastic and mind blowing job. This time he upbeats Shankar. It is simply unbelievable that he has move the film with a fly for about 2 hours as the films hero Nani dies in the first 20 minutes. The screenplay is simply awesome. PERFORMANCE:

Graphics is the most important thing in this type of movies. Actually this film provides the extreme graphics among the Indian films and it beats Enthiran. Camera-work and the back ground music of the film is also too good. Especially the song "Eeda eeda" looks like an awesome theme. CASING:

The casting of the film is also too good. Nani looks bright as a one-side lover and he shows some lights in his scenes. Sudheep is the main key in this film. He has given his best performance as a villain in this film. When Sudheep gets some trobles from the fly the way he reacts over it is speechless. Santhanam-> the man who can make even the worst movies bright with his performance is used for the tamil audience and he has given a continuous laugh riot to the audience even in his 15 minutes of role. Finally the beauty queen Samantha. She is so cute and it is a great pleasure to watch her so beautifully. She has lived in that character. OVER-ALL REVIEW:

There is nothing to say some bad comments about this movie. This is a great movie from a great director. Only thing is this movie could have released in 3D that it could have been pleasure more. EEGA-->you cannot fly from this fly.
