Raja Rani by Atlee (Review)

Story:A romantic comedy with heavy star cast. Multi-narration plot with sweet and soothing moments. Full Love, romance, comedy and dramatic moments. Usual story of love after marriage, not to say it is a fresh effort. But this type of movie didn't come up for a very long time. It definitely keep you entertained for 2 and 1/2 hours.

Cast: Arya is back with a comical role. He plays John, a pesimistic character due to his past incidents. Arya hardly does romantic movies, this can be a very good platform to show his lover boy look. He did what he does in most movie, making people laugh with his expressions. Nayanthara played Regina, Johns wife. A very serious and straight forward character. Arya and Nayathara has a good chemistry. It was a great come back for her. Jai plays Surya. His role was similar to his previous movie engeyum epothum. He definitely will make you burst out of laughter. Nazriya is the second lead named Keerthana. A very cute and bubbly character. Her Cuteness is just too damn high. Her character is the turning point of the movie. And there are few supporting characters like Satyaraj as Nayanthara's father, Santhanam as Sarathy and etc.

Screenplay: Of course in cinema world there should hardcore action and some softcore romance. After so long this is a very soft and light romantice movie in lines with Jillunu Oru Kathal. Good Cinematography, the shading and lighting was good. It created a good mood and feel for the movie. Screenplay and dialogues were enjoyable. But there were some repetitive dialogues that is not consistent with the timeline. 2 different people with no relation saying out same dialogue doesnt make sense. But that is just a minor flaws. Some scenes were nothing new to indian cinema like climax airport scene. But it is nice to see those type romance after so long. But the love, message, comedy and BGM is great mixture of good entertaining movie. Good job for a first-timer. Kudos

Music: Composed by GV Prakaash Kumar. Major plus point of the movie. but Angyaage song went missing.

Plus Point: Screenplay, Cast, BGM and Story

Minus Point:Minor Dialogues issues, Some usual indian movie scenes, a little bit draggy.

Verdict: You may watch this in cinema if you liked Jillunu Oru Kathal. It gives the same feel

Neram by Alphonse Putharen (Review)

Story:A rich story with multiple characters and the connection between them. A good romance, thriller, comedy and action. Well planned narration and a good way to pass the message to the audience. The plotting were similar to Aaranya Kaandam, how one character get involved with each and every key characters in the movie. The conclusion was kind of epic. Well done job for a newcomer.

Cast: The youtube viral "Nenjodu Cherthu" song pair Nivin Pauly and Nazriya Nazim were casted as the lead characters in the movie. Nivin Pauly played Vetri. He did quite good for a debutant. Very good body language and acting. Well played action scenes full of energy. overall it was a good beginning. Nazriya Nazim played Veni. She is so cute and a good choice of lead lady. The chemistry worked very well for both of them. Dialogue presentation was good since she is well versed in Tamil. Unlike many actresses who cant even speak tamil and spoil the lip sync. A supportive character for the movie. And then we have Simhaa who is going places with Naalaiya Iyakunar directors movies like Pizza, Kathalil Sothapuvathu Epidi and Soothu Kavvum. He played Vatti Raja, a badass loan shark and one of his best performance. He had his own punch dialogue or tagline in this movie. He is the main villain and an Important booster for the movie. John Vijay played S.I. Kattu Kunju. He did what he does best, a comical police officer. Well played. RJ Ramesh Thilak as a pickpocketer by the name Lighthouse. He is the turning point of the movie. And then we have a cameo by Nassar and a few supporting characters like Thambi Ramaiah, Charlie, Ananth Nag, Shabareesh Varma, Crane Manohar, Deepak Nathan and many more.

Screenplay: One of the best screenplay I've watched in recent times. So many characters and the director manage to link them accordingly in a day event. The interconnection were well planned, hardly can see a flaws there.The director manage to place good level of balance in romance. thriller, comedy and action. None of it overlap each other. Very good editing. it was done by the director himself. without the editing the movie is nothing. Good transitions for each and every scene.The cinematography deserves credits. Good shade of colours and angles. The best is chasing scenes, the camera movement was superb. The were quite a lot of slow-motion in this movie. This is something you will come across in Malayalam movies. Since the director is a malayalee and the movie was made in both Tamil and Malayalam, the touch is there. But the slow-motion did suit certain scenes but not all. The first half was slightly draggy but the second half was energetic till the end. He added both slow and fast elements to show high and low of the movie. The BGM is another booster for the movie. It really gave life for the scenes. Especially the "Pistah" soundtrack, really made the scenes energetic. Kaathal Enulle also well picturized. Cute and romantic. And finally the director manage deliver the message clearly to the audience. After every bad time there's always a good time.

Music: Composed by Rajesh Murugesan, it was awesome. good sense of music.

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

Minus Point:Draggy first half, unnecessary slow-motion

Verdict: You may watch this in cinema if you liked Aaranya Kaandam way of narration. But this movie has good commercial value and everyone would enjoy it.

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.
