Nallathor Veenai Seidhen by S.Haridhass (Review)

Story: A sentimental story with high impact message. A simple story with an outstanding wrap up. A reality about Karma well visualized in this movie. Good plotting and nice turning point. Sweet, simple and meaningful movie.

Cast: The main characters were not named in this movie. Lingkeswaran Maniam played main character as a father of a child who learnt the actual meaning of life. Good portrayal of emotion and self realization. Good benchmark between before and after key incident. Velarasan Morrthy as a Blind Man. Good facial expression, nice imitation of a blind man. But I've seen blind man swinging the stick harder when walking on straight road while he was just touching down lightly. Yet he did very well in his role. Kuben Mahadevan as a snatch thief. A very significant character. The key of the whole movie. His presence was short but very strong. Very convincing acting. I have always admired his acting. And there were few supporting character played by Sham Karthik, Thisha Visvanathan, Danya Sajita Varma, Manimala Krishnan and Deviga.

Screenplay: Good transitions throughout the movie. With limited resources they came up with a very good product. No excessive graphics or overdone sequences. Good intro scene with some humour. I loved the way they shoot the accident scene. Simple and meaningful. And the best is climax. The helmet spinning and the blood spill were superb. Awesome climax. The cinematography was good. Nice shades and angle. Especially motions during the accident scene. But it was slightly draggy from the time the blind man walks till the home scene and post accident scene. Something we can compromise since it is an emotional scene.

Music: The music composed by Jey Raggaveindra. Two songs which boost the perfect emotion for the movie. Nice violin instrumental too.

Plus Point: Story, Cast, Cinematography and acting

Minus Point: Slightly draggy

Verdict: Nice plot with very valuable message

Vennira Iravugal by R.Perakas

Story:A feel good romance movie with a very well planed plot. It has good raise and drops which will be an added advantage for the movie. Something new for a Malaysian Tamil movie. Out of mainstream. Ample of romance,drama,comedy and message. Nicely written twists and climax. Kudos to the story.

Cast: Vikadakavi Magen played Ramesh@Senior Jagat, a happy go lucky guy with a hidden black background. He was good at instant comedy deliverance but had a lot of weak spot when it comes to speech in general. But good choice of cast to resemble an irritating senior of course. Sangeetha Krishnasamy played Megala the lead lady. I really find her good in acting among other actresses in Malaysia. The way she deliver her dialogues seems quite good and spontaneous. But her junior makeover were overdone. The big glasses quite mainstream. Maybe less make-up, normal glasses and some body language for the junior role would be just perfect. But seriously her expressions and search for truth deserve appreciation. Both of them were the game player. Others were just supporting character such as Psychomantra, Kanchana Devi, Aruna, Logan, David Anthony and many others.

Screenplay: The screenplay was something out of norm for Malaysian Tamil movie. Loved the parallel narration throughout the movie especially second half and the wrap up. well done. The director's victory is making dual narration in line and doesn't overlap to each other.The dialogues were good at most scenes but minor glitches in dialogues in uni scenes. But it doesn't matter, overall it was good. Loved the way director used blogging as a key tool of romance in this movie.One of the drawback in the movie is the performance of the other than center characters. They should be given rehearsal because most of the Malaysian movie has that problem.The side characters were giggling, smiling, over-act and react opposite to mode of the scene. Eventhough the cinematography was basic but the angles of shot were done very well. The best is the climax scene, which answers how,what and why. Hats off R.Perakas for you and your team effort.


Plus Point: Story, Screenplay, Twists and Climax.


Minus Point: Side casts


Verdict: A well done feel good Malaysian Tamil movie. Watch it in cinema.

Mela Thiranthathu Kathavu by Karthik Shamalan (Review)

Story: First time giving review for a Malaysian Movie. A thriller story on violence against women. Something new in Malaysian Tamil Movie Industry. The director had placed ample of romance,drama and suspense elements in this movie. The good thing about the movie is that it was customized for local audience in terms of lifestyle. Simple but impactful story.

Cast: Since it was female oriented movie, the main cast was Joy Rasan. She played Swashna, an independent  and workaholic a girl. first half she did well in showing how sneaky she is when it comes to handling her boyfriend and messed up big time through petty things. But second half acting as a traumatic girl, she was the "woman of the match" I guess. I don't think any other local actress did as natural as her.Especially when she raged towards the journalist. the speech was clear regardless of boiling emotions. Hats off. Vinash Mitra as Matthew, Swashna's boyfriend. He had this funny accent when he speaks. I'm not sure whether it was intentional by the director or he really does have that accent but some scenes the speech could not be delivered well. But one thing worth appreciating was his emotions. Matthew manage to carry out his anger and disappointment excellently. His dialogues might not be right but his expressions were priceless. Kuben Mahadevan as Maaran the antagonist. Trust me he was epic. never seen that in any local movies. Needs a lot courage to do that type of role. Less dialogues and more actions. He really resembled the hardcore negative character with his gestures. There were a few supporting characters like Pd Sara, Yotesri Shanmugam and Jaya Ganason.

Screenplay: It was very good effort for a first timer. The dialogues were well written. Most mistakes Malaysian film dialogues are they try to imitate Indian Tamil films. But in this movie the dialogues were like usual Malaysian conversational dialogues.And some part were straight forward which suited the scenes. In terms of Cinematography, the shades were relevant with the story. It was dark and manage to boost up the elements of suspense. But there were scenes where angles were well positioned. Couldn't see the characters wholly. Sound engineering was fair. Because the speech and specific sounds were overlapping the surrounding. But the BGM was awesome, really aligned with the scenes. The directors best achievement is to make the key role to act naturally. And Karthik manage to do that. Hats off bro. And the "Peygal Manil" song as time lapse video, was good effort, ice cream melting and Joy was constant while others moving. it was awesome.

Music: Composed by Sameshan Mani Maran, 3 songs and Adaimazhai was sweet and nice.

Plus Point: Screenplay, Cast , BGM, Dialogues and Story

Minus Point:Sound Mixing and Camera Angle. It was a bit draggy

Verdict: Watch this at cinema and have a new experience in local cinema.
