Kanchana 2 - I dont really understand what the noise is all about. Kanchana was way better than this in terms of thrill and comedy. Like NOV said, he just remade Kanchana with few more ghost characters, gay comedy. And i sincerely hope no other director shows killing of a child on screen.
What's wrong with showing killing of a child in a movie? Directors should be allowed to do what they want on screen.Quote:

I saw the movie trailer few months back and I was not impressed. However, after reading your review, I decided to watch the movie.Quote:

Liked all 3 guys performances.. Special note on hero's friend character with one liners and his body language.. Sema [emoji106]

Adhu unmaithaan :)
Thunai Muthalvar - nice time pass Bagyaraj movie. Liked it. Bagyaraj has his trademark adult only scenes here and there :lol:

Komban - enjoyable to a point
I doubt any one else could carry a role like this than Karthi, he was pretty convincing as the angry village man who defends his ideals and how he transforms throughout in the movie. Lakshmi menon's hit ratio is more scary than mass movie actors, I think Naan Sivappu Manithan is her only average movie. Rajkiran could sleepwalk through roles like these. Last year he acted in hit movie Manja Pai, peran thaatha sentiment movie, this year its maamanaar marumagan.
Comedy is overshadowed by sentiment in the movie, it would be more apt to call Thambi Raamaiya and Karunaas character artists than comedians in the movie.
GVPs songs are nice and hummable.
The only minus about the movie that bothers me is there is either a fight or song each 10th minute, its a burden for director who feels pressured to still use songs as fill in, I dont think songs in movies are necessary anymore, even on dvds many ppl skips songs at home.
Chennai ungalai anbudan varaverkiradhu - utter CRAP...

Chennai Ungalai Anbudan Varaverkirathu is an Amusing Movie After Nayagan – Director Bharathiraja

But Movie s watchable...its like true story...must appreciate director for showing how some people react to situation... he was true to the content and written happening/happened things in chennai for non-chennaites..

After being unfunny in Sagaptham, Jagan did better in this movie, along with that boy from Golisoda, MS Baskar Pasupathy and Oorvasi (cameo appearance). I am glad the way Vijay-Shalini starrer Kathalukku Mariyathai was used and in the end making ppl respect love.
I was dissapointed about the visuals in the songs, some of them were hummable.
All in all, it was great to watch a full comedy movie which everybody can enjoy.
Manobala va vittuteengaley ! Showroom comedy + Tom Cruise landing. Also Kali : Kapi Podu. Pal illaye.
Hillarious film. A lot like a C Sundar Comedy films where the entire star cast end up being funny. Kathalukku Mariyathai CD + Copy vachi last 15 minutes semaya panni irrupanga.
Just finished watching Thamizhukku Enn 1-ai Azhuththavum
The movie has nothing to do with the title - basically the plot revolves around engineering.
But I like the fact that TF is moving to varied genres.
:bow: :bow: :bow:
Agree. How could I miss mentioning him, he is in almost all movies these days.Quote:

And in IndPak, its kind of silently-funny, esp., during the later half of the film. His irritation at the Mall, and most importantly during the climax when Pasupathi does what should not be done and feels proud.
I think Ullathai Allitha was a late pick, and when it picked up it went unstoppable. Its been 20 years now and another film like Ullathai Allitha is difficult to come along but IndPak certainly lives up to certain level and it has got a great technical team too. When I was driving back, I was thinking how wonderful it would have been if GM was present in the cast, then settled saying that I usually ask for more.
India Pakistan - Laughter Zone
India Pakistan - Rib Tickling :) :) :) Laughed Hell Ya.... Most funny scene - Climax Kidnap Saving Scene..... MS Bhaskar...
watched india pakistan. nice funny movie - espcially ms bhaskar, pasypathi and manobala performances are too good.
started watching enakkul oruvan. switched it off within 15 minutes. couldn't stand siddharth. he doesn't fit in this movie (or any movie for that matter).
Vai Raja Vai - Quite entertaining when you leave the thinking brain at home. When you start thinking and asking questions, the concept of the movie itself become illogical. The concept of casino gambling is new to the tamil audience and the movie run time of less than 2 hrs is an advantage. Vivek is really good with sharp one liners. Daniel balaji does his part really well. Gautham Karthik did not act even in a single frame. From the scene 1 till the end, irrespective of the scenes, his face expression remains the same. Priya anand has nothing to do except playing the lover of gautham. yuvan's bgm is really good after a long time.
Had Aishwarya focussed on the logical part of the script, the movie would have made an impact...

Purampokku Engira Podhuvudamai [2015 : Tamil : Drama (Prison, Action) : 2h45m ]
Written & directed by S. P. Jananathan
Does a fair trial necessarily amount to a fair outcome ?
An intense drama on reality about 3 men having a meeting over the table of Death. Rarely a film picks up such characters and explores it. Jananathan has convincingly narrated us his tale of justice, order & realisations. The technical aspects of the film is top notch, esp. the train sequence. Rest is pure drama, depicting the agony of individuals, various individuals. The film does not grow preachy, but it has its moments over political streams, which I will not be speaking about as it does not interest me. Just the story - the touch so sacred but quite poisonous.
The Imperator
Festina lente (Hasten slowly).
- Augustus
Mecaulay is an officier who is deadly as he is a contridiction with his self and profession. Professionaly he is a courtesan of justice and delivers what is demanded, at the same time he shows courtesy to the prisoners, infact he rates his work place as an intellectual den. This operation marks him dutiful, where he prepares himself to see through it until its end. He plans, alters plans and finally plans a plan. He is cunning, he has got the power, and he goes by the rule. Not that he walks by your side that he is a friend, but he is certainly not your enemy.
Mecaulay gets the orders to carryout the execution of a convict under his command, no excuses accepted. He secures the place holding the convict, finds the executioner, prepares the execution and waits prudently for the D-Day.
The Anarchist
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
- Alan Moore (V for Vendetta)
And you spot Guy Fawkes mask beside the gang hacking the prison security system. The prison holds Bala, a furious commander of the people running a parallel government. He seems to be wondering "If the supreme court has ordered to distibute the unused grains to the poor and if I execute it, a special court declares me guilty". There, he gives a real picture of his intentions. Bala is convicted for treason and held in this jail for the next 27 days before he will be hanged to death.
Bala is fearless and fierceful. He wishes to be a martyr (It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr), but at the same time if opputunity allingns with his life-line, he will escape to extend his service to the common man.
The Hangman
Every guilty person is his own Hangman.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The protocol dictates certain criterias to appoint the man who could execute the capital punishment. The Hangman has knowledge to this process which inturn abides the measures under which the convict is to be hanged which are set by the court of law. Yamalingam (the writer tries to say something here, catch it), is a sucessor to The Hangman legion, his father been an official exectioner. We could hear his mother saying that she had no clue about the profession of his father, another reference taken from Jerry Givens - "For many years, even his own family did not know the truth about his job."
Yamalingam suffers from 'post-traumatic-whatever', after he had witnessed/carried out an execution. He is an alcoholic and just refuses to carry out the job. There are very few films that talk about the state of The Hangman. Another wonderful (Art-House) film (you can watch it if you are interested) is 'The Hangman' starring Om Puri.
The Execution
The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip to haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip, let that aye be your border.
- Robert Burns
The stage is set. Three men, unknown to each other are spun together now. The dice of life have stoped rolling. The numbers will deceide their actions. Tricked, Yamalingam waits to pull the lever, knowing well that the convict will not meet death by his hands. Setter, Mecaulay waits to see the dominos fall. Convicted, Bala awaits redemption. Caught between them is Kuyil, an assosiate of Bala, who master-plans and organises the escape of Bala.
Tik toc tik toc.

JAI HO A FILM ON A R RAHMAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skqcVDd3c2k#t=67
isayin eega iraivan...
watched ok kanmani last night.
wife and kids felt bored and walked out within 30 minutes. Depsite prakash raj's excellent acting and ARR's awesome music, I was struggling to sit and watch the full movie.
I could easily name at least a dozen movies released in the last 12 months that were much better than this movie. highly over rated.
as far the heroine, well... she is short, fat, has a beer tummy and has caterpillar eyebrows.... she could give tulsi nair a stiff competition for the ugliest heroine in the industry.
shes fat..yes..but shes not ugly..shes sweet looking..much better than lakshmi menon, karthika etc
Demonte Colony - Arulnithi's interesting choices continue. Run time of less than 2 hours and pretty engaging. No commercial compulsions. No heroine infact!!! The film did not scare me much. Technically well made and crisp film.
Go here for discussion on 16 Vayathinile
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...16-Vayathinile
Vai Raja Vai
Not bad as expected but plenty of loop holes throughout. Its kinda funny to see the hero being able to predict future as if he has an on/off switch to the ESP.
Why you restricted "16 Vayathinile" movie discussions into songs? The reason I posted here initially wads to see how others write about 16 vayathinile as a movie comparing the opinions of Gopal. Just because someone diverted the topic to songs, the whole posts need not be hijacked to IR section. The music is the biggest asset of 16 Vayathinile. But still, there are lot of more aspects one can praise about that movie. That's the point.Quote:
