Movie Review
Chennai Kadhal - It’s all about romance
IndiaGlitz [Friday, December 08, 2006]
It is not easy for anyone to try something different from their routine. Director Vikraman, hitherto known for his sentiment packed family entertainers, has tried a commercial pot-boiler with Chennai Kadhal. And with youngsters by his side, he has managed a decent outing.
Though he has taken a beaten-to-bush theme, where the hero and heroine fall in love and thereby antagonize their parents, the director has infused pace in the narration, which works out well.
Chennai Kadhal is a city based love story that alternates between Chennai and Mumbai. It is totally a different fare for Vikraman and the hero Bharath, as the neatly choreographed stunt sequences take Bharath on a different plane altogether. A mish-mash of romance and action with a liberal sprinkling of humour sums up Chennai Kadhal.
The story begins with a bang. Indeed so, for even in the opening we get to see the hero bashed up by some thugs, stabbed, and thrown atop a moving train in Mumbai. And his flashback unfolds amidst curiosity. Gowtham (Bharath) is a happy-go-lucky-youngster in Chennai. Irresponsible and spirited, he does not take life seriously. He incurs the wrath of his father for his attitude.
Gowtham meets Narmadha (Genelia) near her hostel accidentally. They get into a teeny-weeny argument. Later on, he comes across Narmadha in an express train. Due to some untoward mishap, the train gets halted in a remote village for three days. Gowtham and Narmadha get acquainted with each other. The sequences in the train remind one of certain scenes in the Hindi flick DDLJ. Nevertheless, the sequences arouse interest.
Goutham is mostly seen in the company of his friends who run ‘Cine Vehicle Suppliers,’ a company which supplies vehicles for film shoots. As it happens, he also gets a chance to share the frame of a film in a Police costume. The turn of events leads Narmadha (Genelia) believe that he is, in fact, an inspector. She expresses her love to him, which he accepts, and things go well until she comes to know that Gowtham is not a police officer. However, she is soon convinced by Gowtham.
Enters Sakthivel (Radharavi), father of Narmada, a dreaded thug in Chennai. Narmadha, who had cut off all ties with him after knowing that he is a ruffian, had been studying and staying in a hostel while working part-time to manage her expenses. At such circumstances, Sakthivel decides to get Narmada married to a gangster's brother. Sensing trouble, Narmadha and Gowtham elope to Mumbai. Sakthivel's men go on their trail. But an unexpected turn of events brings about trouble to the lovers again. The rest is about how Gowtham fights against all odds and successfully marries Narmada.
Radha Ravi’s comeback to films is heartening. It goes without saying that he has done a commendable job. Bharath has done enough justice to his role, so has Genelia. Genelia’s costumes deserve special mention here. She is indeed a treat to the eyes. Likewise, the foreign locales where the songs are picturised. They transport you to cool blue waters, captured beautifully by Muthu Ganesh’s camera. Joshua Sridhar emerges a winner with songs belonging to different genres and re-recording, which is easy on the ears. Editing by Antony is crisp. Jaguar Thangam’s stunts are also good.
Vikraman has introduced the winner of a popular regional television show in this film. He has played his part well, and his histrionics has helped to carry the story forward.
Laudable performances, a racy screenplay and the light-hearted comic sequences make Chennai Kadhal a definite winner.
Veyyil Review
http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review....tid=5&cid=2429
By Moviebuzz
No two ways about it- Director Shankar’s ‘S Pictures’ has consolidated its reputation as the best production house in Tamil cinema. They make commercially viable quality films. Once again Shankar has introduced Vasantha Balan a director who understands the nuances of making a realistic film with well-etched out characters and strong screenplay.
Welcome back to real, solid film making in an era of shallow, fraudulent larger-than-life movies, here is the definitive movie with a moral framework. This one works and keeps you riveted. Veyil is one straight from the heart. The story is told through the protagonist Murukesan (Pasupathy) who recalls his childhood in a village near Virudhanagar. His father is a butcher who works hard to bring up his four children two boys and two girls and has a happy family.
Murukesan dotes on his younger brother Kathir and his weakness, like any other adolescent is love for movies (especially MGR films) that are screened in a local theatre. But one day life changes for him when his father catches him red-handed from the theatre after he bunks school. The child is severely punished and he runs away from home after taking money and jewels.
His journey is quiet exciting with its share of happiness and sorrows. He is taken under the wings of a theatre projectionist in a nearby town and slowly the theatre becomes his home. He falls in love with Thankam (Malavika, a TV actress from Malayalam) a beautiful girl who lives opposite the theatre but their love story does not have a happy ending. Murukesan is dejected after Thankam’s death and the theatre is demolished.
He decides to return home after 20 years. The rest of the film is all about Murukesan’s mental turmoil’s as he is caught between the deep love showered by his younger brother Kathir (Bharath) who runs a successful advertising agency and his guilt of not being a responsible son or elder brother. There is parallel love story between Meenakshi (Bhavana), an innocent girl and Kathir. Then there is Pandi (Shreya Reddy) who is Murukesan childhood sweetheart.
It is actually in dealing with Murukesan’s character especially his relationship with his father where Vasantha Balan’s brilliant touch comes to the fire. One of the best scenes in the film is when Murukesan comes home after 20 years and his father’s reaction to the situation. Hats off to all the actors- The father, mother and of course Pasapathy who perform with subtle emotions that will stay with you for long.
Quite naturally, it is Pasupathy who presides over the show magisterially. His composure, dead pan expressions, happiness and tears are tangible, real and touching. Bharath as Kathir has given a knockout performance as the aggressive and responsible guy just like how he was during his childhood. Bhavana, Shreya and the new girl Malavika are all apt in their roles. Newcomers like the father, mother, sisters, friends are all life-like.
A.R.Rahman’s nephew G.V.Prakash is the musical discovery of the year. He has given some memorable tunes with meaningful lyrics of Na Muthukumar. The superbly picturised Veyilodu Vilaiyaadi… and Uruguthey… stands out along with the rousing background score. Cinematographers Madhi and Azhagappan’s camera gives the film the feel and touch of rural Tamilnadu.
On the downside, Veyil totters in the second half with too many songs, and sentimental mush. The scene in which the family accuses Murukesan of stealing his sister’s jewels and his breakdown were too mushy and seeped in pathos. All this mars the tempo and the last 15 minutes needs urgent trimming. The first half of the film seems to be inspired from the Italian master Gisuppe Tornatone’s classic Cinema Paradiso (1988).
Bravo Shankar .. You have the guts. If you like good cinema, go and watch Veyil
Verdict: Very Good
so, VEYYIL rocks ! :cool2:
BTW, Sify had indirectly shown their dedication towards Shankar a lot ! :lol: :lol:
padam nalla irrukuthunu sonaalum thappa :roll:
