Vathikuchi by Kinslin (Review)

Story: A thriller with multi narration in place. A very good story with a well planned plot. Has a good multi narration which relates to a single person. Full of action, thriller and Momentum that will keep stick to your seat till the end. Even the romance in the movie was cute. It will sure gain your curiosity what's going to happen next. Just that it was taken in a very commercial manner.

Cast: The movie was produced by A R Murugadoss in association with Fox Star Studios. Directed by Kinslin, former assistant Director of Murugadoss. Dhileeban, brother of A R Murugadoss played the lead role. Maybe the look of the lead guy was not important for the movie, yet he could have performed better. He has a poor body language and an average acting skill. This is suppose to be an action movie and of course the hero suppose to have a very good gesture when it comes to fighting especially when it was told that the character learned fighting before confronting  the antagonist. But he was quite bad at that except during climax scene, there were some improvement. Could have placed  Jiiva or Vishal for that role. Anjali played the heroine role. she played a comical role and she was best at it. It's like usual Anjali who dares to confront anyone. Saranya played the hero's supportive mother. Of course she was good at that as well as usual. Sampath, Jayaprakaash, Jagan(Chitti Babu in Ayan), Vatsan and a few more played the antagonist role. Due to some circumstances hero was pulled into their lives and all of them were in rage to kill him.

Screenplay: This movie has a very strong Story, Screenplay and Editing. The story was very well narrated with all needed elements. it has it's good hike and drop to keep the momentum going. The screenplay was very good and the parallel incidents was well shown. You wont feel the movie dragged long. And the editing of multinarration was so organized. So the audience wont get confused throughout the movie. The last 15 minutes of the movie  will be the highlight. How the lead man plans his strategy to  stay alive. But the fight sequence was ridiculous. At one point the audience would forget the existence of gravity during fight sequence. If the stunt Choreography was good, the movie would be one of the most action packed movie in Tamil Cinema. It was an eye irritation. Song sequence were average, no costly foreign scenes. The song was attached with the flow of the movie. Just that the movie was made in a very commercial manner. Should have been a realistic movie. Quite good direction for a first timer.

Music: Composed by M Ghibran. The songs were superb. This is a good raise for M.Ghibran after Vaagai Sooda Va. Especially Kuru Kuru song. Awesome.

Plus Point: Story, Screenplay, Editing, Music

Minus Point: Fight scenes, hero's acting.

Verdict: If you are fan of K.V Anand or A R Murugadoss, you may watch it at cinema. It's a commercial thriller for common audience.

Engeyum Eppothum

Story: It's a love story of 2 different couples and both were interlaced until it leads to an incident. Good element of simple romance and humor with some emotions. Quite a good drama for a newcomer director on his effort to potray a few good messages such as ; Drive safely and think about your loved once, Importance of organ donating, express your love to your loved ones before you regret. The points were clear and realistic, very few elements of exaggeration. Directed by Saravanan, Produced by A.R Murugadoss and Fox Star Studios.

Casting: The leads for the movies were Jai, Sharvanand(Newcomer), Anjali and Ananya. Jai with Anjali while Sharvanand with Ananya. Credit goes to Ananya playing her role very well as a Village girl who was like a "fish out of water' since she is new to Chennai. All her great expressions and speech potrayed the role very realistic. Of course not forgetting the other couple in the movie Jai and Anjali, they took care of most of the humour part of the movie and they had very good chemistry on screen. Sharvanand did not have enough scope to show his performance yet for he did his role well. He was good for a newbie. And then we have a few supporting characters  and most of them were new faces which added spice to that movie.

Screenplay: Of course all credit goes to the screenplay. They movie brought in a very systematic order. It may look lengthy because it revolves 2 different couples story. Yet the interlace between the flashbacks and the key incident worth being appreciated. It wont seem like a new directors work. Climax was kind of a spoiler for the movie though. Maybe as an audience I expected more fleshy climax. The turning point was introduction and the end point for the movie. Maybe most of them would not understand the significant of the "INCIDENT"  occurred for that 2 couples. It was ambiguous. But I feel that the movie verdict should not be based on the climax since the director gave a very deep plotting throughout the movie. Some may say "Kathe ille" due to the climax. The song visualizations were all on the flow, none of it was shot out of the show at foreign locations. It goes with the story in a simple manner. This movie is a collaboration between Fox Star Studios and A.R.Murugadoss, yet i can say that it didn't look that massive and gigantic.


Music: The music was composed by Sathya, also a newcomer. Chotta chotta song was superb and managed to grab peoples attention. Others were good and can be listened a few times but it wont stick to our heart.

Plus Point: Screenplay, Ananya's acting, Jai and Anjali scenes. Editing was super good since it will make us anticipate for the next scenes.

Minus Point: Climax and significant of turning point.

Verdict: It comes under category of movies like Naadodigal, Kalavaani, Pasanga and Subramaniapuram. Simple and could be watched at cinema once. Maybe for most guys would not enjoy this movie.
