After keeping us waited nearly for a year after his ‘Aegan’, Ajith Kumar had overwhelmed us with the stylish promos. As with accordance to his new credits of co-direction, screenplay and dialogues, the anticipations exceeded to greater levels. But, there’s nothing special you can get with ‘ASAL’ as the film turns to possess a same-old story of relationships and betrayal with few interesting moments in screenplay.

Set in the backdrops of France, Jeevanandham (Ajith Kumar), an aged entrepreneur in weapon dealing with defense groups of United States and other countries has three sons Sam (Sampath), Vicky (Ravi Krishna) and Shiva (Ajith Kumar). Sooner, it’s revealed that Shiva and Sam-Vicky are step brothers and the duo humiliates him very often.

Followed by the demise of their father, Vicky and Sam strike a deal with an illegal group that supplies weapons to terrorists. But things get worsened when their opponent (Kellie Dorjee) kidnaps Vicky to Mumbai. Now, Shiva turns to be the savior in rescuing Vicky from the baddies only to get shot by his step-brothers.

And its rise of the phoenix as Shiva is rescued by his father’s close friend (Prabhu) and his nephew Sulochana (Bhavana). Meanwhile, Vicky and Sam make Sarah (Sameera Reddy –a member of France embassy and close associate of Jeevanandham & family) believe that Shiva had a natural death and yet a death certificate has to be prepared.

Shiva is completely discombobulated with the gestures of his stepbrothers and embarks to unravel the hidden mysteries…

ASAL’ belongs to Ajith Kumar and it’s a sure fiesta for all his diehard fans.
Saran has blatantly focused much heroisms and portraying Ajith in stylish looks alike Billa and fails to keep the audiences engrossed throughout the show. The film has looses it momentum right in the first hour and has some exciting moments during next-to-last 10mins prior to interval. Next time, Ajith signs a film he has to turn his attention towards ‘romance’ quotients as well. Just imagine how romantic he was in ‘Kandukondain Kandukondain’ while his previous films have completely lacked such quotients.

Sameera Reddy could’ve got yet more challenging sequences as she possesses the tomboyish looks. Bhavana doesn’t get any footage apart from shaking legs with Ajith for couple of songs. Yughi Sethu delights with his hilarious tracks. Suresh looks stunning with his looks and could have avoided yelling at high tone. Sampath offers a spectacular show on emoting to situations while Prabhu has lacks substantiality in his delineation. Pradeep Rawat is a mere disappointment.

Bharadwaj’s musical score is a complete disappointment as both songs and background score doesn’t add to the technical enhancements. Cinematography requires special mention as the debutant Prashanth and he’s sure to gain more offers now. Art work by Prabhakar is a visual treat and costumes designed by Vivek Karunakaran and Nalini Sriram is decorous.

Although, the film has some happening stunt choreographer, Ajith seems to be quite uneasy performing them. Most of the stunt sequences are fast-motioned.

‘ASAL’ is a passable show that can be watched once. But our kind advice to Ajith Kumar is that he can choose some powerful scripts and challenging roles as he has the ability to carry them on his shoulders. But Saran has to get out his threadbare image of presenting his stories if he has to make it big in future.

What works: Ajith Kumar, cinematography, Art Direction, Kelly Dorjee.

What didn’t work: Screenplay, tedious story, Music, casting of certain actors and choreography.

Cast: Dhanush, Shriya Saran, Radha Ravi, Vincent Ashokan, Rajalakshmi and Mayilsamy

Director: Mitran. R. Jawahar

Music: Devisri Prasad

Producer: Gemini Film Circuit

Kutty, the movie is the remake of Telugu flick Arya with Allu Arjun in the lead. It is an entertaining movie altogether. Being an average flick there is no suspense in the movie as the story is known to all.

Buzz up!
Shriya Saran and Sameer Dattani are in the same college and at one point Sameer Dattani force Shriya to love him. Dhanush is made to enter the screen at this point. Dhanush loves Shriya and Shriya loves Sameer. It’s not a love triangle nor one side love.

When Shriya tries to ignore Dhanush, he offer help to her and Sameer to fulfill their love. At the same point of time he challenges Sameer to curb his love so that Shriya doesn’t fall for him. Finally Sameer’s father Radha Ravi, a politician, plans to marry off Sameer to his friend’s daughter the couple runs away from home and Dhanush brings them to his village after a long chase. Soon Sameer disappears and Dhanush takes care of Shriya until Sameer returns after a week with his father, after convincing him. They all then return and at the time of marriage Shriya tells Sameer she want to marry Dhanush. What made her say so??? All lies in the climax.

The remake doesn’t give anything new. It is an average movie with lots of action scenes and good songs. It shows a campus love and its atmosphere. Dhanush is successful in imparting good comedy with good counter in it. Radha Ravi, Vincent Ashokan, Rajalakshmi and Mayilsamy are there but not seen often gives a feeling of one man show.

Nothing much is there in the movie but is watchable for time pass. It is produced by Gemini Film Circuit and is directed by Mitran. R. Jawahar, the same man who did Yaaradi Nee Mohini.

vettaikaran review Vettaikaran Review | Vettaikaran Movie Review

Production: Sun Pictures, AVM Productions
Direction: Babu Sivan
Star casts: Vijay, Anushka, Salim Ghosh, Shayaji Shinde, Satyan, Sri Hari and others.
Music: Vijay Anthony
Cinematography: Gopinath
Editing: V.T. Vijayan

For those, who were down in the mouth about Vijay’s previous films, you’ve nothing special in Vijay’s ‘Vettaikaran’. But, it’s slightly average than his previous flicks – ‘Kuruvi’ and ‘Villu’. Possibly, you would be curious to know whether Vijay has imitated anything from Telugu actor Mahesh Babu. Of course, he has aped certain style of uttering dialogues as the same way he does. Indeed, there’s a particular shot of breaking a pillar stone just in bare hands (Mahesh Babu in ‘Athadu’).

The film’s synopsis isn’t substantial as it offers reminiscences of Vijay previous films ‘Tirupatchi’, ‘Bhagavathy’ and few of that sort. Babu Sivan seems to have collected the scenes of other films made by his mentors Dharani and Perarasu.

Set in backdrops of Tuticorin, Ravi (Vijay) is a happy-go-lucky youngster, who adores Devraj IPS as his role model and aspires to be a cop like him. But then, he has passed his 12th Std exams even after 3 attempts. Luckily, he’s done with the pending subjects with successful grade on the next attempt and flees to Chennai to join a college and fulfill his dream.

Vividly inspired by Devraj IPS, Ravi earns his livelihood by driving auto after his college hours. He is still dreaming about his dream angel Susheela (Anushka) he met her over the train while journeying from Tuticorin to Chennai and later meets her again. Everything is fine for Ravi until he comes across a troublesome Chella, son a roughneck Vedanayagam (Salim Ghosh), who has control over entire Chennai.

Clashes do takes place between Ravi and the baddies and there we have a shocking fact about Devraj IPS, who has lost his career, eyesight and his family because of Vedanayagam.

Now, Ravi vows to overthrow the realms of baddies and starts striking with his fists of actions that move in a much cliched way.

Vijay has come up delivering his earnest efforts for better results. It’s surprising to see that the first half doesn’t has any stunt sequences or punch dialogues (until pre-interval fight), but the latter part is so overdosed with these elements. There are more traces of ‘Bhagavathy’ of Vijay taking law into his hands with his group of friends to bring down Vedanayagam and co. Anushka, the bootylicious missy offers a great show of glamorous treat and she dances extremely well.

Salim Ghosh does justice to his role with his dialogue delivery and makeover. There aren’t any specified comedians in the film and Vijay scores brownie points on these quotients. The person enacting the role of Devraj IPS requires special mention, though he reminds off Nasser in Dharani’s ‘Dhill’ (the same characterization of a cop affected by baddies).

Technically, the camerawork and editing disappoints you as the technicians have been repeating the same shots and angle placements as in previous Vijay’s films. Vijay Antony’s musical score adds more strength to the film and placement of songs are perfect. But, some of his background score reminds us off ‘Tirupatchi’. ‘Oru Chinna Thamarai’ and ‘Uchimandaiyla’ are sure to be grand treats for those who expect a lot from Vijay’s dance.

Babu Sivan has crafted an entertaining first half (90mins) that is so racy and you won’t feel the long duration. But the second half (75mins) is neatly tailored with cliched moments of hero offending villain, villain bumping of hero’s friend and finally settling the scores. The climax sequence of Salim Ghosh’s death has been done innovatively where the hero remains just as a propeller.

Finally, it’s a not-good-not-bad situation when it comes about marking verdicts for ‘Vettaikaran’. If Babu Sivan had well-crafted the screenplay in second half, then this film would have been an excellent entertainer. But overdosed stunts and loud dialogues act as a spoiler for the laudable presentation in first half.

With Sun Pictures involved vigorous promotions, the film has probabilities of becoming a top-drawer at box office.

Naalai Namathae – Movie Review Tamil

2qv6wsp Naalai Namathae   Movie Review Tamil

நடிப்பு: பிரதீப், சர்வானந்த், மணிவண்ணன், எம்எஸ் பாஸ்கர், ஆசிஷ் வித்யார்த்தி, ராஜன் பி தேவ், தனுஷா, கார்த்திகா மற்றும் கிரண்

இசை: பரத்வாஜ்
பாடல்கள்: பழனிபாரதி
ஒளிப்பதிவு: ராஜரத்னம்
இயக்கம்: வினயன்
தயாரிப்பு: ஜோஸ் மாவேலி

கல்தோன்றி முன் தோன்றா காலத்திலிருந்து தமிழ் சமூகத்திலும் சினிமாவிலும் நிலவும் குடிசைவாசி Vs கோபுரவாசி கதைதான் இதுவும்.

நாட்டின் மிகப்பெரிய தொழிலதிபர் ஆசிஷ் வித்யார்த்தி. ஒருநாள் திடீர் ஞானோதயம் பெற்று தனக்கு சொந்தமான ரூ.1800 கோடியை ஏழைகளுக்கு எழுதி வைப்பதாக அறிவித்து, அதை நிறைவேற்றவும் மணிவண்ணன், பிரதீப் ஆகிய இரண்டு ஏழைகளையே நியமித்துவிட்டுக் காணாமல் போகிறார்.

இந்தப் பணத்தை அபகரிக்க தணிகலபரணி, ராஜன் பி தேவ் தலைமையிலான அரசியல்வாதிகள் முயற்சிக்கிறார்கள்.

இடையில் மணிவண்ணனின் வளர்ப்புப் பெண்ணை சுற்றிச் சுற்றி வருகிறார் பணக்கார இளைஞர் சர்வானந்த். இதையறிந்த அவரது அரசியல்வாதி அப்பா கடுமையாக எதிர்ப்பதோடு அந்தப் பெண்ணை தனது ஆட்களை விட்டு கண்ணெதிரே கற்பழிக்க விடுகிறார்.

சொத்துக்களை எழுதிவைத்துக் காணாமல் போன ஆசிஷ் வித்யார்த்தி என்ன ஆனார்?.

பணம் பறிக்கும் அரசியல்வாதிகளின் முயற்சி பலித்ததா?
கற்பை இழந்த அந்தப் பெண் என்ன ஆனார்?
ஏழை – பணக்கார காதல் நிறைவேறியதா?

போன்ற கேள்விகளுக்கான விடைகளை நீங்களும் திரையில் பார்த்துத் தெரிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள்.

ஆரம்பத்தில் பெரிய பணக்காரர் ஒருவர் ரூ.1800 கேடியை ஏழை மக்களுக்கு எழுதி வைப்பதாக கதை துவங்கும் போது அட, என நிமிர்ந்து உட்கார வைத்தாலும், ‘இதுதான் கதை, இதற்கான சம்பவங்கள்தான் இவை’ என்றில்லாமல் எக்கச்சக்கமான நிகழ்வுகளுடன் திரைக்கதை தடுமாறுவதால் சுவாரஸ்யம் குறைந்து விடுகிறது.

ஆனால் ஆசிஷ் வித்யார்த்தி எப்படி பணக்காரர் ஆனார் என்கிற அந்த ப்ளாஷ்பேக் விறுவிறு.

மணிவண்ணன் சிறப்பாகச் செய்துள்ளார். கிட்டத்தட்ட கதையின் நாயகன் மாதிரி வருகிறார். பிரதீப் இயல்பாக நடித்துள்ளார்.

ஏழைக் காதலியாக வரும் தனுஷாவை பள்ளியில் படிக்கும் பெண்ணாகக் காட்டும்போது தோற்றம் அதற்கு கைகொடுக்கவில்லை. ஆனால் சாதாரண பெண்ணாக வரும்போது மனதில் பதிகிறார்.

விலைமாதுவாக சரசுவாக வருவது யார்… அட கிரண்!.

சர்வானந்துக்கு நடிக்க பெரிதாக வாய்ப்பில்லை. ஆனால் கொஞ்சம் முயன்றால் தமிழில் பெரிய அளவில் வர வாய்ப்புண்டு.

ராஜன் பி தேவ், தணிகலபரணி, ஆசிஷ் வித்யார்த்தி என முப்பெரும் வில்லன்கள். தங்கள் ‘தப்பான’ பாத்திரங்களை சரியாகவே செய்திருக்கிறார்கள்!.

பரத்வாஜின் இசையில் ஒரு பாடல் ஓகே. பின்னணி இசை பரவாயில்லை.

அரசியல் சூதாட்டங்கள், பிச்சைக்காரர்களின் சோகம், ஏழை – பணக்காரன் காதல், பிச்சைக்காரர்களுக்குள்ளேயே உள்ள கயமைத்தனம்… இப்படி பல பிரச்சினைகளையும் ஒரே கதைக்குள் திணிக்க முயற்சித்ததைத் தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம் இயக்குநர் வினயன்.

அதனால்தான் படம் எந்த பாதிப்பையும் ஏற்படுத்தாமல் போய்விடுகிறது
