Putham Pudhu Kaalai

Review

Putham Pudhu Kaalai A Tamil Anthology? Sounding the kollywood habitats to chill out with their loved ones. Five stories that lock’s you in front of prime. 5 best in the businesses, directed by Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Rajiv Menon, Sudha Kongara, Karthik Subbaraj and Gautham Vasudev Menon delivers the tales. Just some thoughts from my heart about the story is what at last you can narrate about it. A single sentence can excite you in unimaginable ways and that’s exactly what happened when Madhavan said in the voice over, “Like I said, nammala avanga epdi feel panna vekrangandradhu dhan matter; foolish, happy, and most importantly young”. What we have seen in many movies that, love can make us feel young but to this tale that literally translated on screen is really brilliant. ...

Walter

Review

Walter: Misses the plot Inspired by his father Sathyaraj's cop role in Walter, his son Sibiraj dons khakhi in action thriller Walter. A story of a senior police officer who investigates the missing of babies in a small town in Kumbakonam. There are baddies, sub-plots, and abundant action. Directed by U Anbarasan, the film begins well to end up loud and less convincing. A cliched ride eventually. But there are few action scenes that may please stunt-lovers. There is Shirin Kanchanwala who plays the heroine. Genre - Action thriller Cast - Sibiraj, Shirin Kanchanwala. Natty Subramaniam, Samuthirakani, Charlie Music - Dharmaprakash Cinematography - Rasamadhi Editor - Elayaraja Direction - Anbarasan Production - 11:11 Productions (P) Ltd Run Time - 133 minutes Every actor's pass...

Dharala Prabhu

Review

Dharala Prabhu: Unlimited fun Doing a remake is no easy task. It has to capture the essence of the original. Three cheers to new director Krishna Marimuthu. He has managed to capture the essence of Bollywood hit Vicky Donor, released in 2012, well to deliver a good outing in Dharala Prabhu. Without tinkering too much with the original, Krishna Marimuthu has successfully reproduced Vicky Donor as Dharala Prabhu. A tough subject for Tamil audience but given well. Thanks to stupendous show by Vivekh, it passes the muster Genre - Comedy Cast - Harish Kalyan, Tanya Hope, Vivekh Music- Anirudh Ravichander Sean Roldan Vivek-Mervin Inno Genga Madley Blues Bharath Shankar Kaber Vasuki Oorka Production - Screen Scene Media Entertainment Direction: Krishna Marimuthu Run Time - 122 m...

Velvet Nagaram Review

Review

Velvet Nagaram: Action, Reaction Varalaxmi Sarathkumar has been the choice of filmmakers these days when they step out to do women-centric movies. Joining the list of movies that she did recently is Velvet Nagaram. Helmed by debutant Manoj Kumar Natarajan, the movie is a thriller with Varalaxmi playing a journalist on a mission. She has emotion and action to do plenty in the film. She renders full justice to it. But that alone is not enough to elevate the script, which travels on a cliched path at many places. The director has tried to speak too many things including exploiting the livelihood and natural resources for the sake of development Genre - Action thriller Cast: Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Kasturi Shankar, Ramesh Tilak, Santhosh Krishna, Maalavika Sundar Music: Achu Rajamani ...

Gypsy Review

Review

Gypsy: A curate's egg Gypsy carried a lot of expectations on its shoulders as it is from the stable of filmmaker Raju Murugan, who made Joker before. Known for his works to talk strong and stern on social issues, Raju Murugan has tried to tread a similar path in Gypsy. Unfortunately, he seems to have lost his way a bit and the movie ends up neither here nor there. What begins as a musical journey of a gypsy witnesses romance and communal riots and it ends up with a string 'preachy' message. Gypsy features Jiiva, Natasha, Lal Jose, Sunny Wayne among others. Genre: Docu-drama Cast: Jiiva, Natasha Singh, Lal Jose, Sunny Wayne, and Susheela Raman Music: Santhosh Narayanan Cinemtography: SK Selvakumar Direction: Raju Murugan Run Time: 2hours 29 minutes Analysis The movie speaks abo...
