10 Feb 2015 - 04 14 PM
Yennai arindhaal to break singam ii bo records
It’s been a feather on the cap for Suriya and Studio Green Films as their film Singam II had garnered wonderful reviews and was commercially success as well. In fact, trade analysts have clearly stated that the film happens to be one of the top-grossers of Box Office with a whopping worldwide collection of Rs.80Crores approximately, with verified details.
Now it looks like Ajith Kumar’s recent release ‘Yennai Arindhaal’ will create a new record as box office reports are turning to be more favourable during the normal weekdays now.
Already Indian BO collection has been totted up to 52Crores and the overseas collection for the first five days is yet to be revealed.
For now, ATMUS Entertainment has unveiled that the 5-day collection in USA that includes the premiere show on Wednesday (February 4) measures to a huge figure of $480432, which in INR is approximately 2,88,25,920Crores.
With the multiplexes and single screens across Tamil Nadu still house packed, the trade predictions are that it will have a great collection during this week as well.

What is the story of Yennai Arindhaal 2?
Feb 11, 2015
With an apt title and a vivacious star cast, Yennai Arindhaal was indeed an enticing cop story entwined with a lot of emotions and classic moments. A sequel of Yennai Arindhaal will be a true bliss for all the Thala fans.
Yes, Gautham Menon confirmed to our Behindwoods Correspondent yesterday, that he is most likely to proceed with a sequel. It must be noted that he had hinted regarding a sequel long back itself.
He said "I have a script ready and I have presented it to Ajith. We need to wait for his confirmation on the same."
When asked about the plot of the sequel he said "The story will focus on Sathyadev's life as an ex-cop with a 14 - 15 year old daughter. The film will showcase the journey of this father and will have nothing to do with cops and police."
Looks like Gautham Menon wants to continue his affiliation with Ajith. He also has a bucket of other films on his way to keep him busy for a while.

BIG NO :mad:
father Journey elaam venaam Sivaji,nee pesaama Surya kittayae poyiru..
:lol:
If he makes something Period like Thupparium anandhan or spy film like Dhruvanathcatram/Yohan it would be fine..else no need GVM enough IMO
+ves
* Ajith/Arun/Vivek/Tisha's performance
* BGM
* Trisha/Parvathi looked beautiful , ( how did Trisha eyes get big , Quite expressive in this movie )
-Ves
* too lengthy
* Predictable story
* Rather long
* shades of KK/VV and to some extent the classic Moondru Mugum
Forget to mention the Romance with Trisha and Ajith was done very nicely, guess similar scenes were done in KK as well.
The kiddo in the film is supposed to be 6 , but she looked around 10/11 !!

Params, did you like it or not?

என்னை அறிந்தால் – விகடன் சினிமா விமர்சனம்
மெல்லிசா ஒரு கோட்டுக்கு அந்தப் பக்கம் இருக்கும் வில்லன்களை அழிப்பதே… ‘என்னை அறிந்தால்’!
கௌதம் வாசுதேவ் மேனன் ஸ்பெஷல் போலீஸ் கதைகளின் இன்னும் ஓர் அத்தியாயம். ஆனால் ஆச்சர்யமான அஜித் படம்!
கதையை அனுஷ்காவில் ஆரம்பித்து அஜித் – அருண் விஜய் நட்புக்குத் தாவி, மாஃபியா – போலீஸ் சேஸ் அடித்து, த்ரிஷா காதல், ஆசிஷ் பகை, உறுப்புக் கடத்தல்… எனப் பல சுற்றுகளுக்குப் பிறகு க்ளைமாக்ஸ். ‘அதான் அஜித் இருக்காரே… எல்லாம் அவர் பார்த்துப்பார்’ என ஆர்ப்பாட்ட ஆக்ஷன்களை அடுக்காமல், ஒரு போலீஸ் ஆபீஸர், முதிர்ச்சியான காதல், காதலின் இழப்பு தரும் தடுமாற்றம்… என அஜித்தை வேறு ட்ரீட்மென்ட்டில் காட்டியிருக்கிறது கௌதம் மேஜிக்!
படத்தில் அஜித்துக்கு கோட் இல்லை; ஆனால், கோடு இருக்கிறது. மெல்லிசான கோட்டுக்கு அந்தப் பக்கம் முரட்டுப் போலீஸாகவும், இந்தப் பக்கம் நல்ல வில்லனாகவும் மாஸ் காட்டியிருக்கிறார். ஆக்ஷனில் வெடிப்பதும் காதலில் உருகுவதும், மகளின் அப்பாவாகக் கதறுவதுமாக… ‘தல’க்கு படத்தில் பல அவதாரங்கள். ‘விக்டரை எனக்குத் தெரியும். அவன் நிச்சயம் வருவான்…’ என இறுகுவதும், ‘நமக்குனு குழந்தை வேண்டாம். என்ன இப்போ… அடிக்கடி மெடிக்கல் ஷாப்புக்கு ஓட வேண்டியிருக்கும். அவ்வளவுதானே?’ எனக் காதலியைச் சமாதானப்படுத்துவதுமாக… வெல்டன் அண்ட் வெல்கம் அஜித்!
அஜித்துக்கு சவால் கொடுக்கும் செம தில் வில்லனாக உதார் பண்ணுகிறார் அருண் விஜய். மிடுக் உடம்பும் முணுக் கோபமுமாக அனலடிக்கிறது அருணின் ஆவேசம். ‘நாம கல்யாணம் பண்ணிக்கலாமா?’ என அஜித் கேட்க, ‘ஊரே பேசுதில்ல’ என்ற த்ரிஷாவின் ரியாக்ஷன்… லவ்லி. ஆறு வயது மகளின் அம்மாவாகவும் பிரியம் ததும்பும் காதலியாகவும்… க்யூட் த்ரிஷா. ‘அய்யோ… அவன் என்னை முதல்தடவை பார்க்கிறப்ப நான் இப்படியா இருக்கணும்?’ எனப் புலம்பும் விமானப் பயணக் காட்சியில் மட்டும் கவனம் ஈர்க்கிறார் அனுஷ்கா.
பிக்பாக்கெட் அடிப்பதுபோல உறுப்புக் கடத்தல் ஒரு முட்டுச் சந்துக்குள் நடப்பதெல்லாம்…மெடிக்கல் மிராக்கிள். பிளாட்பார பிரஜைகளே சல்லிசாகக் கிடைக்கும்போது, போலீஸின் பாதுகாப்பில் இருக்கிற அமெரிக்க ரிட்டர்ன் அனுஷ்காவை அருண் விஜய் கடத்த மெனக்கெடுவது நம்பவே முடியவில்லை. அத்தனை ரணகளத்தில் குழந்தையை பள்ளிக்கு அனுப்புவது… சினிமா மிராக்கிள்!
பெண் மனதின் பிரியம் பேசும் ‘இதயத்தை ஏதோ ஒன்று…’ பாடலில் தாமரையின் ரசனை கற்பனை… கொலுசொலி ஹைக்கூ . ‘தேன்மொழினு பேர் வெச்சுட்டு தமிழ் தெரியலைன்னா, நல்லா இருக்காதுல?’, ‘ஏய் வேணாம்ப்பா… அவன் முதுகுல பேக் எல்லாம் மாட்டியிருக்கான்’ போன்ற க்யூட் குட்டி வசனங்களுக்கு இடையே, பொளேர் பொளேரென விழுது கெட்ட வார்த்தைகள்… காது வேர்க்குது!
பெரும் திருப்பங்களும் ஆச்சர்யங்களும் இல்லாத திரைக்கதையில் ரேஸ் சேஸ் சேர்த்திருக்கிறது டேன் மெக்கார்த்தரின் ஒளிப்பதிவு. பின்னணி இசையில் மிரட்டல் ஸ்கோர் அடித்திருக்கிறார் ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜ்.
ரொம்ப உதாரு!

I don't agree with Madhan's remarks on Harris' BGM. I quite liked the BGM during the first fight. In fact, the same BGM is used in the climax fight too, I think. Like GVM rightly said, the BGM pumps up your adrenaline.Quote:

A police story has everything inside it, from goodwill to breaking bones. Its the treatment to the tale which makes the difference and specifically how the drama unfolds by exploring the inclinations and intersections. The tale about the 'Road Not Taken' are at plenty. What YA delves into is quite interesting - A person who comes to a point to select his path. He is a winner with his choice. But his preferences pushes him make a 'U' turn and get back on the road frequencly traveled. So you have the 'Road not Taken' as well as 'Road always Taken' elucidated in Yennai Arindhal. The up and down journey, both physical & psycological, of a man is what YA tries to project inbetween all the 'rush hour' suituations. YA concentrates more on the pushing oneself factor, rather than the decesional abilities.
Satya is DCP. Being a terror to bad guys, Satya slowly climbs the pyramid of age where necessities hit him with needs. He hooks up with Hemanika, a divorcee with a girl child. When things start to allign in place - intially his bright carrier, and now his life getting brighter, Satya is pushed to make an ultimate choice. Up when the skies are clear, below when every side is green, fate traps Satya inbetween with another challenge - a challenge that cannot be refused, at the same time Victory is not the key word.
Gautham Vasudevan Menon (GVM) has potrayed some of his marvelous expertise, be it dialogues, romance, drama, suspense & thrills. Each aspect is handled carefully that the jump between the genres is not shocking. There you have a couple having coffee and from nowhere masked men attack them. Harmonious life of a father-daugther is interrupted by a knock at the door. A dream come true suituation becomes a nightmare. Such contrast suituations keep on hitting in regular intervals, that make YA not only interesting but interactive too. Moreover, the fluidity of a portion of a biopic runs elegantly and during the midway of the film, its flavour has already changed. All this happening in a single script is what makes GVM's Yennai Arindhaal a fabulous piece of work.
The technical team plays an important role to make GVM acheive his goal. I usually don't talk much about technicalities while recomending a movie, but here I would like to mention 2 things - Dan was awesome. There is more than just 'angles' to a camera work.
The proposition of GVM to film the movie in such a way should be appreciated and equal laurels should be shared amoung the tech team and its supervisors. A fantastic team work, proves big on the screen. Harris Jayaraj plays to the mood of the scenes, which are quite helpful in drawing the attention. Hats off HJ. The interesting part of the film are the songs. In YA, the carefully choosen placements and the lyrics, kind of advance the movie registering the informations needed to understand the flow of the film :
- Yenna Endru is a fantastic song used to project the desires of a young lady. This representation comes as a Karokkee, which I felt was quite elegant in projecting that the lines are a recital of the heart. Plus, the way Anuska enters with her saree hugging her body reminded me the entry of Amala in Vellaikaran 'Thotathula Pathi Katti' song.
- Adhu Aaru Adhu Aru with no 'electricuted steps' or 'ants in the pant movements' but just some elegant moves which were cool, esp. the last step (Siv.s mentioned it too) was such a grace. It added more fun to already punchy song. Silva sports 'the Basha's "Life inside 8" song' costume. And there is a similar setup in Pudhupettai where Danush 'Kuthifies' for YSR's solo 'Kuthu' - Variya - one of my favourites.
- The stage play song gives a variety of images of Hemanika. Her choice through which she tricked herself followed by a miserable married life is what we see in this sequence.
- Kadikaram Parthal Thavaru basically interrupts to advance and stretch the storyline, mostly used to show the rise of Satya and describe how fearless he is. The needles of the clock are suddenly forwarded at an interesting pace with this song.
- Mazhai Vara Poghudhey is like the best photos of the best moments of your best vacation that you share with your friends. Everything suddenly looks so beautiful and there you have an handsome guy dating a pretty woman. A 'Thalapathy Shobana' touch was excellent.
- Unnaku yenna vennum sollu - I will allow you to experience this song. Just keep on noting the advancement in the bonding, the lightest moments in the movie.
- Idhayathil is a reply to the questions Satya had asked his child. As a grown up but still a child, Thenmozhi replies to his affection finding all means to beleive that he will accept her.
With handful of principle character, GVM deceides to juggle with the plot, based on these characters. Basically it is the "melisana' kodu moment for GVM. Character driven plot or Plot driven characters. Both is possible, but choosing the former, GVM becomes a winner in his adaptation. All the lead artists have performed well :
- Anuska : She was a charm when she was thinking something and uttering anything else. within seconds she changes - one according to her thought, second according to what she says.
- Trisha - When Satya proposes her, the hesistance she shows without any words or 'hush-a-busha' was excellent. Satya just keeps pushing her and finally convinces her with a cracker line - They got to visit the medical shop often. Simply Lovely.
- Victor plays Arun Vijay in this movie. No, Arun Vijay plays Victor ... Whatever ! He is a ram, who uses his head to think less but collide more. GVM gives a wonderful touch to this character's costume. He is seen walking around in white - Pure Evil. Just towards the end, he changes Black - Real Evil. [There are several top notch interpretations in this movie]. Arun Vijay has a different task here - he got to talk, threaten, counter, pleed, get mad, pose to be clever ... etc etc ... all at once. And the dialogues should be punched as if he has the upper hand and he makes the rules. Not to mention the suituation he is struggling to be a step ahead of smart Satya betting his life on it. If you get the tension in Victor right, Arun Vijay's potrayal will be quite visible. Hats off Arun Vijay.
- Anikha Surendran is a doll. A kid that uses her eyes so brilliantly. Just small gestures, neatly making the impact. When Satya asks her the permission to let Thenmozhi pass the night with them, the reaction she gives is so beautiful - shy, timid at the same time proud - Hats off Kiddo.
- The side kicks & rest of the villans (Father Matthew or Golden Raj) were excellent too. Tiny bits, but memorable ones. And the scene where they to come to threaten Satya at his house is cult.
Ajith is a kind of person, that kind people like and want to be like. A lot is talked about his screen presence, his performence, 'Ajith as an actor' etc. No point in using the same 'template-lines' here too. Let me get into and see his intro, a disappointing factor or thats what I hear. It all started with ASAL - (I have not gone futher into Ajith, en route, but for the moment this is what I got to say) - it all started with Asal when they deceided to exploit the word 'Thala'. The intro of Ajith projects the 'Thala' and the movie tries to sky rocket the Thala factor, ex. The shadow & Suresh dialogues. Then came Mankatha, where we see his zoomed in head during the intro. Followed by Billa 2, where his upper torso falls on the screen with a head moment. Arrambham gave a new touch, where the escalator mounting introduces the Thala. And Veeram continues to show this 'Thala' differently. See the intros are very important, it registers a lot, and for the past few years its amazing to see how Ajith's image is exploited. In YA, the flight sequence opens with a glimpse of 'Thala'. GVM actually teases the fans, but gives 3 bright intros sucessively, and when Ajith introduces himself as 'I am Satya', the guy next to me was almost dry by then. So GVM takes the intro, stamping yet another mark in 'Ajith Intro Saga'. More to come, and I allow you to explore them. Plus, eyes closed, lips tight and only ears open is a kind of communication that Ajith does with his fans. Pick all the hidden messages in this movie, as Ajith is communicating with you, the fans.
In conclusion, YA is a very good film. The moments that you spend are rewarded with multiple flavoured emotions and finaly the impact the film makes is impressive.
