True. When I heard the plot, I was very impressed. Songs were good too. So went to the film with some expectation and since I didn't get the tickets inside city, I went all the way to Mayajaal in the bike with my wife. Think of my situation all the way back home. :(

Except for few scenes, the film tests our patience. Our moderator hubber LM recommended a comedy film 99, which was based on the same theme - Betting in cricket. Wish Badri had watched the movie before making this one.

Though it is not correct, our generation (40+) have a feeling that we have already paid our dues (if not more) up till 2000.
Before internet & VCD piracy days (upto mid 90s') none of the theatres in our area (Tuticorin) will sell tickets for face value. I used to watch almost 70% of the movies in theatres (when there were no other avenue for entertainment) but have to pay a minimum 10 times the face value on average. They will issue a ticket that has a face value of Rs. 3.20 but we have to pay Rs 30/ for regular & Rs 50/ for balcony (face value 4.50). This is not even for big star movies. You have to pay this much even to watch Ramki-Nirosha pairing in silver screen. For big star movies it would double this.
Even now I like to watch big star movies in theatre expecially Rajini & Kamal. Offcourse I watch selectively Ajith, Vijay, Surya movies also in theatres on release weekends here in US, but every other movie only after a good print is available online.
I am no way trying to justify any of these, but thats the thought process.

The above 3 movies are certainly a decent movies and somewhat not clicked in the box office except Salim.
Oru oorla Rendu Raja and Jai Hind 2 ----
The central plot of both and 1 or 2 important scenes as well have similarity to Kaththi. Like in Kaththi the antagonists in both these films are businessmen. Jai Hind 2 had a few noteworthy action sequences with Arjun at his agile best. The good thing about OORR was Imman's songs. Apart from these both films tested my patience.
Your username is truly befitting. :)
7th sense in TV, a very good and exceptional plot let down by some bad screenplay, ARM probably got complacent after getting a novel theme. I believe had they not overused the hypnotic skills of the villain and Shruthi ya Chinese govt eh kuri vaikkara mathiri build up kaatama irunthiruntha it would have been a very good movie. Ancient beliefs, Tamil culture pathi lam some pullaripps scene were there
Jai Hind 2
The message of the movie is good, make it possible to all kids to have same opportunities to study in india.
Seen the movie had to nod to previous review about the movie. There are some similarities between Kaththi and Jai Hind 2. Both movies had sentimental scenes that made you support the poor people and their struggles. Both movies gave less importance to heroines. Just to add more salt to the wound there are two heroines. I dont get the 2 heroine sentiment with Arjun, he had 2 heroines in most of his directional ventures. In Jai hind comedy was great and made you laugh, in Jai Hind 2, it makes you tear down the stuffing in the couch. Actionwise there are very few to match his skills, action king's fight scenes are super. Rahul Dev surprises in the movie. This is a movie made with good intentions but only executed half good.
Arjun Janya is one of my fav MDs in Kannada, but he dissapoints a lot in the movie. He has overused the dubstep genre, Skrillex said "dude chill with dubstep and try some other styles too".
Jai Hind 2 is 1/3 Kaththi, 1/3 Gentleman, 1/3 mish mash.
Tour of Characters
Its rare, rather quite exceptional, to see a woman director coming up with a film. I am always on the look out for their ventures to see their alternate understanding and the importance they give to the craft. Soundarya Ashwin did an excellent job by introducing a new technology in feature films to our industry through her debut film Kochadaiyaan. Anjana Ali Khan's ‘Veppam’ had realism, romance and rowdyism in the right mix. Aishwarya Dhanush did a tremendous job in jotting a couple's life between their teenage to adulthood in her film “3”. Sri Priya, eventhough a remake, ‘Malani’ was indeed an attempt worth mentioning, just for the theme it handled. And I sincerely hope JS Nandhini gets in term with the production house and get started with her project "Kolai Nokku Paarvai"; the title itself is quite outstanding.
Good signs are ahead for female creative heads, with the motivations aptly given by Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, who has sucessfully released her 2nd film Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe (English : Kiss me if you can ... !).
Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe is a Social Drama disguised as a Road Film, which makes the coupling quite compelling. It has its share of suspense and sentiments that draws your attention completely. Add in the apt music score by Medley Blues, the film swiftly changes tracks from mystery to romance to action. With an awesome cast, each one hand picked for the character they play, the movie is engaging.
Chandru, is a sort of a 'family-rebel', who does not allow himself to integrate with his rich family but decides to drive a truck for the local politician, Kaleeshwaran. Admits the petrol crisis hitting the nation hard, Chandru accepts to deliver some important goods, accepting it as a challenge in such a situation where danger is written all over. On the way to his destination, he meets certain people, mingling with them opens up an avenue of new thoughts that he starts to question the intentions of Kaleeshwaran. And to his awesome surprise, he realises being tricked, and now its payback time.
Each movie has a particular scene that starts growing in you and when its at the very beginning, your interest grows as the movie unfolds. One such scene that comes early in the film which assured me that I am going to watch a nice movie is the way AL Azhagappan is shown adjesant to a "laughing" budha idol. This particular scene explains a lot by itself - the business he is running and how he is minting money - apart from his striking resemblance with the idol itself. Numerous such scenes are there in this film, which crisply advance the film, registering all the minute details clearly. Cinematographer Vinod Bharathi has danced quite elegantly to the rhythm of the director.
Lakshmy Ramakrishnan's earlier film 'Aarohanam' was a neat attempt (if you agree to overlook the "Aunties-Meeting-Climax"), and she had provided an in-depth vision over a secret disorder that is often overlooked. Mixing it with suspense was top notch. She tries something similar here too, loading here 2nd film with loads of mystery. Each character is mysterious until their back story unfolds. The believable flash backs, mostly narrated through songs or efficient dialogues and silences, paints the needed colour to the story. The assembly of the story was neatly done, where all the bits and pieces are put together with an effective editing by Sabu Joseph.
The major point – ‘I am still thinking, how wonderful it would have been if …’ - are the elaboration of the characters. They were established at the right time at the right moments, but they don't quite stick. They move about like puppets, with whom getting connected is quite impossible. Tightening them or taking much time to talk more about them would have been more intriguing. For eg., the runaway couple's story was well narrated, but lacks the emotion in the end. Similarly Pia's back story, quite riveting, gets diluted somewhere on the road. Moreover, we don't get to know Shabeer at all. The underlining point is that awesome characters, but quite overlooked while talking about them.
Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe is not an bold attempt as I would have excepted from a female director nor it's something that’s unique. But making a regular film in such a way is a beauty that speaks for itself and the film got its needed shine from the woman director Lakshmy Ramakrishnan. Hats off.

Oru Oorla renda Raja - poyaa.
Remake kannan fails with original script, that is a big blow. His last remake failed too.
Oru padatha overaa promote panninaa padam mokkai endru arthamo?
watched 'jigarthanda' yesterday after reading illaya thalapathy's twitter chat the other day.
enjoyed it...
+plus
it was different from the usual love, romance or revenge stories.
great acting by siddarth and actor simha.
the last time i saw siddharth he was singing 'egiri kudhiththaen vaanam idithadhu
paadhangal irandhum paravaiyaanadhu' and still he looked the same.
and he was only the pretty face among those ugly looking gangsters in the film.
laxmi menon came in just for a few minutes but she never failed to impress me...thumbs up for that..
so many twists and turns..
the thing i'm most surprised was that the film started out as a gangster film and in the 2 nd part it turned into a comedy film.
minus
felt a bit lengthy
the main villain and his men didn't get the punishment for their crimes.
i thought siddharth should have shot him dead or simha should have died in police encounter as shown in the movie...
and i didn't like them using 'A.kumar" as the film title.

"the main villain and his men didn't get the punishment for their crimes."
The movie is not about crime & punishment, so its normal to see the alternate ending. Moreover it assosiates itself with the reality as though the crimes still continue. Otherway put, their crime never was caught to be punished.
"i thought siddharth should have shot him dead or simha should have died in police encounter as shown in the movie"
Again, the basic knot is not revenge or good vs evil, eventhough it touches a bit survival & instincts. The climax is a show on the phase character. I am sure you would have noted - the "thappan kuthu" magically turns into "Applauds" and au milleu is Simha. This brief moment allows you to narrate the whole story once again and make the right connections, which should obviously lead you to the gunpoint climax.
"and i didn't like them using 'A.kumar" as the film title."
No comments.
A old-schooler's delight
If you accept that Arjun is finding it hard to cope up with modern cinema and watch his new film Jaihind2, you are sure for a great ride. As a director, Arjun has tired a narration quite similar to Vanam (I am sure most of you are well versed in Foreign films and other language films, so I leave it to you to capt the source of this idea). He takes 5 characters and threads them together with another single character. He then conveniently uses each character at his will to narrate his story, keeping couple of them for some thrilling action blocks. Then he webs them together to prove his point which is already made.
Abhimanyu, a Karate teacher, draws the attention of the nation with his idea to nationalise the education system. Ofcoarse that does not go well with the concerned bureau of private school front runners, who obviously plot to eliminate Abhimanyu. Thus the cause is known, we get to see the effect of touching a man named Abhimanyu.
Action thrills follows the movie at regular intervals which are quite well choreographed and presented by Arjun & Team. Arjun is one amoung the rare film makers who still assosiate scenes - for eg. the villan & the court hearing was top notch. Similarly, the whole jail sequence was interesting, how jumbled the presentation was, but still quite neat. BGM works as a church bell, indicating its presence then and there. Camera works were gladly used to potray different stunt sequences uniquely. And editing mounts the needed curiosity.
The performence is what takes the film so close to being under a grade. Eventhough few artists try to convey something, the over streched scenes of an already known fact breaks their skills in the middle. Arjun uses his usual trade mark expressions and dialogue deliveries which is good to watch. Apart from that, none take care of anything that could have potentially upgraded the film.
The twitter/facebook generation has nothing to do with this movie, as neither this movie has any names that they know nor their one liners include the struggle of a film maker to potray a character in different angles in the same scene. Thus they may settle down to make fun of this movie, one thing they are very good at these days. The film will also not attract any "package" based website/tube rewiewers too. But for a person who has a taste for films, has seen quite a variety of them, and moreover knows who Arjun is, Jaihind 2 is sure to garnish their interest. Arjun takes enough care to keep you engaged throughout its runtime.

All credit to H. Vinoth for making making a movie that KO you. debutant movie directors in tamil cinema have guts to make different attempts, and thankfully some producers are willing to invest money in such kind of movies. This is the kind of movie that makes Kollywood look better than Mollywood, Tollywood, Bollywood. I am eagerly looking forward to H. Vinoths next movie.
Appuchi Gramam - Nice effort. Sci fi is actually the backdrop and the film focuses more on the characters in the village.
A perfect morality tale.
http://www.iflickz.com/wp-content/up...ice-review.jpg
Good vs Evil is the ground where many film makers starts their parade. Caarthick Raju (another Karthik in the camp with a capital 'c') enters the same ground, but with a different foot wear. He marches plotting a story with a cop background but explores an individual distinguishing the self within himself. The war he wages is on the morality grounds, where he digs open the good inside himself.
Vishwa, a youth, who does not need an introduction, but I will say it anyway - a jobless young man who gets fired by his dad, like a doctor's prescribed medicine 'morning-midday-and-night' and who has a mom who is quite keen in firing mustards than correcting the attitude of her son. Singaram, the father, is a Police Head Constable (HPC) who not only fails to convince his son, but his death shatters his own dreams of seeing Vishwa as a high grade Police Officer. The demise of Singaram, opens a new door for Vishwa where he walks in as the new HPC. Glad to get an attractive posting, soon Vishwa realises that its nothing but a petty job masked inside a valued profile. He, then, realises the efforts and pain of his father's long carrier, and decides to compensate it by bringing the culprit responsible for his father's death before justice. But what shocks him is not the murder crime, but the conspiracy behind it. Vishwa is now all by himself to root out the sinners.
Dinesh, as a convincing Vishwa, puts out a tremendous performance. He weeps, laughs, romances etc.,etc., just within passing seconds. Esp. after the pre-interval song, he just communicates with his wide open eyes, where moments before he was weeping. Lots and lots of such fabulous performances by Dinesh is scattered throughout the movie. Bala Saravanan supports him quite well, but is a bit mono-toned. Can be labeled 'City-Soori', but his spontaneous replies makes every scene realistic. Rajendran continues his 'menacing-comedy' works in this film too. He is just awesome. Pairing equally with him is John Vijay. I have already mentioned it, mentioning it again, you are too good man. Wish to see you in more films. The funniest scene is when Bala addresses to John and says "Irandam Ullagam Anushka mariya irruke". Iyshwarya Rajesh is nice, reminded me of my favourite Nandita. The 3 major artists - Rajesh, Naren & Muthuraman - give abundance in their supporting roles.
My favourite song "Moodupanikkul" was excellent. I would say the whole movie was a bit experimental, where YSR seems to be involved in suspense BGM during serious situation, where the scenes were made to provoke laughter. Quite cunning in their attempt and both YSR & Caarthick have emerged successful. The romance was kept under check and YSR used the best of it. Vijay Sethupathy dances for a song “Thala-Deepawali” style and we get to see Arul Doss too.
Cinematography by Siddharth was plesant and clear. The whole setup was live, be it a tea shop corner or residential area, all details have been well captured. Dialogues were superb. Actually, what makes it interesting is that the person who speaks, sometimes is not in the visual plan, but we hear his voice. That adds the needed provocations to giggle.
Hats off to SPB Charan, for giving yet another opportunity and for identifing a talent like Caarthick Raju. Caarthick Raju shines a lot as a director. The best was how he makes a spoof of his own preachy tale. He puts the audience in the place of the listener, and exactly make them her what they would say as a reply. At the same time, he uses Vishwa to extend his agonies of missing his father. Even towards the end, the speech by Naren, is comically interpreted by John Vijay "Pesiya Koldranungo". So he does a dual job at the same moment, which I suppose will be the main aspect for the success of this film. Moreover, he ended the movie quite crisply without dragging it too much. Plus he creates the needed ambience during the end credits. Hats off Caarthick.
Aptly titled, Thirudan Police, coolly picks up its place in the tiny line of trend setters.
