Movie Review: Thuppaakki (15th Nov 2012)

‘Sleeper Cells' that’s the only thing is interesting in this film.  Dir Murugadoss didn’t meet the expectation due the regular style of action movie and usual logic blender (having terrorist at home in wardrobe, sr. militarty officer not at all aware of the operation performed by Vijay & many) etc.  Harris miserably fails, except the ‘Google’ song (only for audio).  Many places BG score resembles Harris’s previous films.  Oscar winner Santhosh Sivan was found only in 'Goolge' song for few seconds along with Dir and no foot print of his visual magic in this movie.  Kaajal Agarwal is good, only in appearance.  Vijay should try to perform rather than hoping on stylish look alone.  Sathyan was wasted and comedy channels (Aadhitya/Sirippoli) may find challenge in extracting comedy track from this movie. 

Time pass.

Movie Review: MAATTRAAN (14th Oct 2012)

KV Anand disappoints, unlike his earlier movies Ayan, KO.. this movie drags a lot, esp the 2nd half. Hope Russia takes it friendly and ignore the controversy project on athletics, even if it’s true. Can appreciate director's braveness for this. Surya's efforts are commendable, as usual he did his best for the character(s). During the conversation with russians, dual track of Russian & Tamil is irritates and could have done better. Nothing much to quote on Kajal Agarwal.  Music by Harris is OK and 'Kaal Mulaitha Kaatre' song is visually good.   

Not impressive.  Maatraan... 'Thoatraan'

Movie Review: Thandavam (29th Sep 2012)

Story narration was good but screen play should have been made little faster.  Few places it was indigestive about performance by a blind.   Vikram & Anushka love track is good for a watch, recalls Gajini mildly.  Comedy is also underplayed by Santhanam in-line with story which is good.  Nazar could have been utilized more.

Once watchable. 

Movie review: Saattai (22nd Sep 2012)

Samudhrakani & Thambi Ramaiah are acted well and perfect casting.  Story line is easily predictable from the opening itself, which may impact the delightness in watching it further.  No impressive climax, as it ends like abruptly.

Watchable.

Movie Review: Sundarapandiyan (15th Sep 2012)

No wonder in a 'Fruit shop' you can expect only 'Fruit' and not a MEAL.  As the Dir Prabhakaran came from 'Sasikumar & Samudhrakani' team, this movie has the footprint of Sasikumar's previous film(s). But the movie was taken well and watchable.  

Good for a watch.

Movie Review: Mugamoodi (1st Sep 2012)

Dir Myskin attempt was commendable and he did well, indeed he tried a typical South Indian Meals in Continental/Barbeque Resturants.  That's the ball game, well it did not succeed. Climax was crappy, as usual in any BAT MAN movies (there is no differnce Hollywood/Kolywood). 2 songs (Vaaya Moodi & Kudi Vaazthu) are ok by Music Dir K, esp the Ilayaraj's 'Anna Kiliye' song mix in Kudi Vazhthu was nice.  Naren charactersation did not impress well, as claimed/hyped.

Recommended for KIDS (only).

Movie Review: Pandi Oliperukki Nilayam (30th Aug 2012)

Nice movie by Dir Raasu Mathuravan, but he has to come out of his stero type of village based-family subject.  Entire team performance is good and the 1st 1.5hrs movie with the comedy track is really good and makes the film worthy. Climax resmebles Bala's Pithamagan & Avan-Ivan.  Music is OK. 

Good & watchable.
