Weekend Movie Watch

Aranmanai 2 -  I wish i had written something about the first part so that it can be copy pasted here as review. If they can do to the movie, why not the review!! If you ever have this pathological compulsion to waste few hours of your life with no other better option, watch the movie. Else suffer in silence for wasting precious data pack on this muck of a movie. Trisha looks older than kovai Sarala. Her high maintenance makeup fails big time. Every one in the cast has a blink and miss role right from lead pair to the supposedly comic relief except for Sundar C who does all the fights, thrills and even becomes ghost and does the mandatory ghost dance with relish. Enpa..producer/director na enna venumna paniklamna apo micha peruku edhuthuku wastea kaasu kuduhtu padathula podanum!! Poor Sid. His looks reflects his wretched feelings of having delivered flops of what are really good stories. He simply is not lucky. Aga motha padam.. dhanda karumanthram.

Kathakali - Oru comedy scenala Singamuthu will ask vadivelu "Karuppa surutta mudiyoda kullama oru aal paathirukia"nu. He will be describing himself to vadivelu and will beat him when he says he has never met such a person. Translate that into a serious scene with murder as background you got this movie plot. From start to finish hero keeps crying that he didnt kill the villain only to convince everyone and in the end he is the killer eventually!! Ithu thaan twist. Idhuku nadula oru romantic track. The heroine from "Madras" movie reacts so slow that you can count the seconds taken between the dialog prompting and her delivery. So out of synch. Could've been a much decent attempt with a different cast and minus the unnecessary stunt scenes. Aga motham kathakali - kathai gaali.

Rajini Murugan - The reviews were unanimous in claiming that this was the better of the 4 movies that were launched on the same day and was declared a hit. Some even claimed that the hit combo of Siva and Suri rocked big time. Ithelaam nambi naanum padam paathennu thaan solla varen. Rajini Murugan padam pathavangalam varuthapadum vadikaiyalar sangam nu onnu start panna poratha kelvi. VVS padathula vittu pona micha socha scenes and story discussionla reject aanathu elathiyum korthu poatu padam panirukanga. Like Aranmanai 2 this is again a rubbish in guise of a new movie. If VVS clicked it was because of a perfect mix of multiple factors. Hero heroine chemistry, decent comedy in some scenes, moderately good songs and the fantasy factor over siva. Of the lot, keerthi reddy siva combo is the only one that passes muster. She seems to have taken over the title of dream doll of tamil cinema on her own and in chat shows behaves as if she has own miss world title. Konjam sumara iruntha podhum namma makkal kovil katiruvanga. Mathabadi moviela sollikaramathiri onnumila. Heroines father character is the only one that is interesting. Endingla vara double act ucha katta kodumai. Aga motham - Rajini murugan is a mokka piece of a movie. Tvla poatta pathukalam.

I must protest. I read your movie reviews only to learn of the existence the likes of Trisha , Kovai Sarala and Keerthi Reddy. I am protesting against only 3 fair ladies being featured in the post - not adequate return for reading that three movies were absolutely hopeless :)

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Padithathil pidithathu

Few authors thrill us to read more of their creations. At times its sheer luck that we might end up with the worse of their lot and might give up on them only to find many other good ones which we would've ignored based on first impression. James Rollins is one such author. My friend's sister introduced me to "Map of Bones" and told me that its in the same genre of "Davinci Code" and since i am a sucker for adventure series she recommended this one to me, with a warning that, at times this guy goes over the board like Ludlum in describing situations. With that warning in mind i began the book. I took my own sweet time to finish it but the book kept me interested. However many times i kept it down i always went for it again to know what happened next. In the end, i pretty much liked the story, though it was totally unbelievable. The story is about the bones of the Three wise men or Magi who visited Jesus when he was a kid. Their bones held a clue to a vast so...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
