Soodhu Kavvum by Nalan Kumarasamy (Review)

Story:A movie by Naalaiya Iyakunar fame. An awesome commercial storyline. Full of comedy and thriller. well planned twists. Felt like watching panchathanthiram again. Has some resemblance but original story. There are even good action sequence and suspense in the movie. It's a full fledge commercial comedy movie to be watched with whole family.

Cast: Vijay Sethupathi plays the key role. This guy really going places ever since his Pizza, Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom and Thenmerku Paruvakaatru became big hit. He plays a middle age guy by the name dass. very well played. This guy is a star in making. And then we have an unusual comedy trio Simhaa, Ashok selvan and RJ Ramesh Thilak. Without these guys the movie is nothing. Simhaa is well known for his Feared Senior role in Kathalil Sothapuvathu Epidi and the husband ghost in Pizza. From serious character to real comedy piece. what a change over. And then RJ Ramesh Thilak with his local boy role. you will laugh by just looking at his face. Ashok Selvan is a bit intelectual compared to the other two. He has an important role in twisting the story. And the we have Karuna Karan as Arumai Pragasam. He is well known for his character in Kalakalapu, the brother in law of the villain who misses the diamond to prostitute. He is the mastermind and turning point in this movie. Great Job done. Sanchitha Shetty played shalu the imaginary lady love of Vijay Sethupathy in the movie. She is cute, bubbly and hot. She kept the soft pressure going in the movie. Two other characters worth credits are Police Officer Bramma played by Yog Japee and Rowdy Doctor by Aruldass. Yog Japee is the one played Ranjith in Billa. He played a silent bad ass police man in this movie. He has his humour part as well. He really did great as a violent policeman. And Aruldass is the dada in Naan Mahaan Aala if you remember who becomes friend of karthi. He played the rowdy doctor, brother of vijay sethupathi who is directing his own movie. His role was epic eventhough he only shows up in second half. A few supporting role played by M.S Bhaskar, Radha ravi and others.

Screenplay: The screenplay is the hero of the movie. Every single scene is well planned. Great teamwork between the crew and cast. Kudos to them. From the very first scene till the end you'll be laughing your lungs out. All of the scene were taken in a very simple manner without wire tricks and CGI except for one or two scenes. The interconnection between scenes were good. Well done to the editor. The Cinematography was average. The colour tones were similar to Pizza and Kathalil Sothapuvathu epidi. But that doesn't matter since the whole movie is a trade off for the slack. The beauty of the movie is how they rewind the scenes of suspense. It's an awesome job for a first timer. All the nalaiya iyaukanar fames are really doing good movies. The soundtracks goes with the movie except "kaasu panam" song. It has it's own song sequence. The choreography was good for the song. The girls dance very well..

Music: Composed by Santosh Narayanan. Songs were average but the kaasu panam song became a chartbuster.

Plus Point: Story and plotting, Screenplay, Cast, Editing

Minus Point:Average Music and Cinematography

Verdict: If you like panchathanthiram, then watch it at cinema. If you don't, also watch in cinema :P

Moondru Per Moondru Kaathal by SM Vasanth (Review)

Story:A very good love story. A multi-narration in nature.Sweet dialogue write-up but failed to be on-screen. Mainly on romance, a little bit of social service and sports were included in the movie.But the movie has a bad conclusion. It could have been written better.

Cast: The movie has a few bad casting. First of all Vimal. Making him the key character is bad choice. He played a CA is an epic fail moment. He cant even speak english properly and his dialogue presentation was so poor. There were few romantic pick up lines that he spoiled. He seriously cant play classy role. Secondly, Lasini. She was exagerrated as if she's the most beautiful woman in the world but it was an Irony.And her acting was super poor. Other than that we have quite good cast. Cheran did his part quite well as a social activist. Bhanu was so good with the tamil accent and dialogue presentation. Their love story is the only good thing in the movie. And then we have Arjun as a swimming coach. He did good as well. but definitely not his best. Then we have Surveen Chawla as his lady love and swimming student. It was a good character played by her. But her lip sync was poor. Then we have Thambi ramaiah, Sathyan, John Vijay, Appukutty and many others playing supporting role.

Screenplay: Screenplay was seriously poor. Could have done way better. First of all Varun-Anjana (Vimal & Lasini) love story. Why they didn't show Anjana face for so long. Don't know what is their motive. There are certain unnecessary scenes that doesnt seem to have interconnection. Like Anjana's interview with varun's father, Meet up at cofee shop and the scene where Varun makes Anjana upset in lift. It happens the same for Gunasekar and Malikka(Cheran & Bhanu) love story. There is a scene involving a dog which i felt irrelevant in that movie.Quite a lot of transition that doesnt seem to be connected to each other. And making the movie musical is a bad choice. couple of songs were shown twice which dragged the time for nothing.And "stop the pattu" song was unnecessary. it was just to introduce the directors son Ritik Varun.Vimal playing a narrator was seriously a bad call. Overall for a romance movie it should have a good peek and fall so that people will get attached to the seat. SM Vasanth really disappointed me. I think only Gunasekar and Malikka love story worth watching in the movie followed by Paul Haris-Divya(Arjun & Surveen Chawla).

Music: Composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.Good soothing music.only boost in the movie.

Plus Point: Good story, Good music

Minus Point:Cast, screenplay, editing, and song visuals

Verdict: Failed romance. don't watch in cinema.
