Thirai Alasal - UPO

Director : Chakri Toleti

Producers : Kamal Hasan and Ronnie Screwvala

Music : Shruthi Hasan (Debutant)

Star Cast :

Kamal Hasan, Mohan Lal, Lakshmi, Ganesh Venkatram, Anuja Iyer another cop and few others...

Story Line :

Remake of 'A Wednesday' movie from Hindi. Deeply hurt Indian protagonist, neatly planning and executing the murder of four international terrorists.

Story :

With lot of expectation we entered the theater and we came out as somewhat satisfied. Kamal just starts the movie with a simple call to the commissioner of Chennai City (Mohan Lal). He explains about his work on planting bomb at different spots in the city. So the department is on high alert. As home Secretary, Lakshmi appears and she performed really well. Since she gives power to take all actions in the issue to Mohan Lal.

After that, Kamal Hasan demands the release of four terrorists who involved in major bombing activities in India. Since he placed bomb in major places in the city, Mohan Lal abides to his demand. Then comes the two cops, who are the favorites of Mohan Lal. They are appointed to escort the terrorists to a safe place as mentioned by Kamal Hasan. In the mean time, Kamal leaks this news to press so that he can watch the police activities through them. There comes the smoking reported Natasha (Anuja Iyer). The two cops, Aarif and Sethu escorts the terrorists to the place mentioned by kamal and to their surprise, kamal designed a death bed for the terrorists. so the guy who threatened the government is not a terrorist and he is just a Common man who is deeply hurt by the terrorist activities. As a result of this operation, Mohan Lal gets suspended and the story ends as it was in Hindi.


Comments :

*Kamal missed a lot in this movie. He didnt stand upto Naseerudin shah.
*There could have been some little changes here and there which more people would have expected.
*If Kamal is not doing simple changes in a remake film, how can we expect it from some third grade actors.
* Music by shruthi Hasan is really different. People would guess, a hot, fast, thrilling scene is gona come, with the music itself. Here she played mild music and travelled along with the movie and didnt guide audience. It is really good on her part.

+ Points :

* Mohan Lal with casual acting and powerful dialogues
* Lakshmi countering Mohan Lal stood apart
* Aarif Khan , a cop with extra smartness and bright face and acting
* Kamal Hasan at his best in the Story telling. Explaining Mohan Lal about a horrible incident
* IIT drop out guy, who comes for tracing the call

- Points :

* People hate photo copy movies
* Kamal underplayed

Rating :

6/10

He gets some dream like stuff and all those stuff come alive....
One time he saves his father and a group from lethal accident by this ESP. But he saw a worst thing in his inward eye about shreya's murder. The murderer is himself. He feels very much annoyed by this and leaves shreya and reaches mumbai where the hero introduction takes place... oops its villain boss.Both of them shares the same face. By this shock he gets messed up in an accident and the villain travels to Chennai.

INTERVAL ( Actual start of the movie)

Now in the train the most gilma song in the film occurs and varungala muthalvar NAMITHA is so generous. Vijay(prasad) make it out with namitha and leaves the train. at chennai Shreya meets this vijay and the expected song and goining to shreya's house..... So the new vijay who is villain, now in the place of original guru. He exactly pretends like guru and in this situation guru returns to Chennai. All gets confused and Prasad proves cleverly to all that he is original and that original is duplicate.

Comments :

• It is really a good film from new director.
• Vijay tries very well and now attempting to come out of his very small circle laid by his fans.
• Geetha after something something, stars as a mom and did quite well.
• Aashish vidhyarthi is under used in the film.
• Sreeman is just a role and not to do much with it.
• Santhanam does well and he ll go places( mark my words).
• Shakila deserves some more "SCENES".....
• ESP , a final destination concept , translated quite well in Tamil.
• So its in hands of vijay's fans to make this new approach of vijay and make him a real star.
• Shreya shows too much closeness with co stars it seems.
  

+ Points :

• Vijay.. EllaPugalum oruvn oruvanukke!!!!!!!!
• A.R. Music ( first i thought of putting it in - points, but im his die hard fan).
• Shreya definitely an added flavor.. added color to the film...
• Less sentiments boosted the film.
• Screenplay in second half.
• Less punch dialogs.
• Serious and comedy scenes mixed together.
• Non deviation in comedy track.
• Madurai song and few other songs.
• Eye catching dances in all songs.
• Good timing/situation for Ponmagal song.
  

- Points :

• Stunt scenes... (vijay is good at this but don know why it is messed up here)
• Graphics is so much poor.
• Under use or waste use of Namitha.
• Waste introduction.... So boring.... Not as vijay film but like a Telugu film :)
• Some direction holes like sate not calling prasad , when guru follows him...
• First half so dragging.... But ok.
• Shreya deserves much more... She has good STUFF da machi...

Experts Advice :
Director being new, much concentrate much on building the complete movie. Vijay should take some experiments like this since he is the next Mass Hero... Fans please encourage him. Shreya, this is too much for TamilNadu :)

Ratings :

+6/10 . Most for vijays.....

Thirai Alasal: Thamirabarani



Performed by : Vishal,Prabhu,
Aachi, (Ever green) Nadhia ,
Naazer, Rohini,nilalgal ravi, Ganja karuppu , heroine ( side dancer)
and for friend(mamanar)ship
VIjaykumar and your fav. Artists.


Director: Hari
Producer: Whom so ever, may not be in producing state now.

This Film created a lot of expectations and satisfied almost none I suppose.
The director of this film, Hari is a renowned guy for his superb screen plays
in Saami and Tamil. But for the past two films he just malfunctioned and gave
some over loaded sakthi masala films .

Story line : The story of dispute b/w two families.

Story :

The story starts with a fight. Vishal is the only son of prabhu’s sister rohini.
Rohini is a widow staying with her brother. Manorama is grandma of vishal.
Vishal used to be a cool guy who just extreme opposite of his uncle prabhu
who is a entrepreneur (salt business). Then vishal meets heroine probably
a group dancer( that too last row). A different selection by hari or vishal
himself. Some scenes with heroine . Some scenes to explain the enemity
b/w two families. The other family consists of Vijaya kumar, his son naazer,
daughter nadhia and other son.(serial actor).

So movie moves with the high pungent masala irresistibly. Then hari decided
to start his game. Vishal just goes for fight against naazer for hurting prabhu. Suddenly the last son who have just few lines of dialogue , got his hand
detached. Paavam pulla. Then the hatred develops and prabhu opens a
secret.Ganja karuppu tries to relax the audience at times but he too failed
miserably.

Nadhia is prabhu’s wife. Wow.. Her daughter is his daughter too.(doubtfully)
. All are vishal’s relative. Ho .. what a twist. Then vishal asks for pardon.
But no response.some sentiments and story ends with a huge sigh of relief.

Comments :

*Vishal is not rajini and he should have self control. Rumba adara pa.

*What a selection of heroine. Hari should concentrate more.

*Then that guy brother of naazer didn’t speak 5 lines but vishal just
chopped his hands.

*All the artists were under used. Nilalgal ravi is a good example. Such a
good artist has been given two lines of dialogue…

*So many worst words pronounced without sensor. Though hari might have
thought those words would have great impact, it made the lips turn in agony.

*Insultin sister of prabhu and insulting nadhia and so many scenes ,
irritated much.

*In the scene vishal asked for the sickle from nadhia for accepting her
crime as his is really nice. Vishal told in an interview, he did comedy too
in this film, but he did only comedy in this film.

*Vishal just escaping from the heroine by saying , she have to give life
to that guy without hand, but finally he fails and supposed to marry her.

*Ganja karuppu, singing “ Oru vaartha kaekka oru varusam “ from
film “ iyya” and trying to give us some desert, but main food is not
good so no one enjoys the desert too.

+ points :

Vishal. Since he is from Andhra, some telugu friends might see the
film and serve for its cause.

- Points:

*The film.
*The star casting developed some expectations but not even tried to fulfill it.
*The senior actors like nilalgal ravi, rohini , aachi were under used.
*More hero centered story is not good.
*Some stupidity under the banner of comedy.
*The screenplay must be improved a lot , hari.

Experts Advice:

Hari should take enough time to make a film. No need to speed up
and release the film even before it is not finished. Hard luck this time,
better luck next time.

+-4/10.

Thirai alasal

In this intellect edition , a brief analysis on the film veyil are going to play a part in. So many producers are just borrowing an unimaginable amount from some black money magnets and releasing a film. Some TV people whose major business are from films just chitchatting the films by siting on a chair cross legged.Breaking the hearts of many film guys. So this analysis will not reflect any such redundant things. Shall we start…..

VEYIL

Star cast: Pasupathi , (kadal) barath , sweet Bavana , sreya reddy and others
Direction: Vasantha Balan
Producer : Director shankar

This film veyil is a top rated film amidst the recent releases. The main reason is this film glue us with the story line with the help of sentiments, and actors performance. The story starts with a cruel murder . Pasupathi is the assumed lead and story starts from his revealing of flash back. Pasupathi and his brother barath enjoyed the childhood very much. They were fanatic fans of films and M.G.R.

Due to a probs pasu leaves his house with pops cash and moms jewels at the age of 15 or so. He joins a theatre as an oprator and lives in it. He falls in love with a girl opposite to the theatre at the first sight. Both of them loves each other and it goes to some climax too. When the girls father came toi know that they were separated, when they try to run, pasu is being attacked then the girl cuts her neck herself to save pasu.. ohhh ore aluga….

Then pasu returns with 0.00 rupee to his native. Pop neglects him,but his mom and bro barath were very happy to see him back. Then some sentiment scenes that seems to be old but good makes pasu to long for moms love. Then baraths personal life is enriched by his advertisement company and bavana. Bavana comes in chudi and half saree. Then barath is attacked by his rival, nearly murdered by him. So pasu gets angry and revenge all of them.A small role for reddy, maintaining the affection on pasu from childhood.(sreya a mother of a kid, ithellam thevaya unakku).

Barath found to be dead, but pasu sits with a sculpture in the pose of a saint and slides down and barath came to life..ohhhh , tamil cinemave… but that was nicely moved in a senti way..

+ points : Screenplay, childhood scenes with nice colors, barath bavana scenes and additionally pasupathis appearance and expression..

- points: usual sentiments.

Rating : 6/10. ( really lessened )

ps: You may visit this site for a more positive review.

Thavamaai Thavamirundhu

“The responsibility of a father is to make his son get
a good exposure to the world”

“The duty of the son is to make the father feel Proud
to have such a son”

“The mother feels Happier when she hears his son to be
A great person than the time she gave birth to him”

Cheran has given the final touch with these lines.
Ya the film is definitely a novel on the screen.
Some body may feel it to be a lengthy novel.
But it is definitely a lively novel. We faced cheran
as a good director by his last film ‘autograph’ and
films preceeded it. He once again proved it.

Father sentiment is a new concept to tamil film
and it is a good try.

The film starts with the travel by cheran in a car.
Then he sheds some dialogues to emphasis the
Father’s (Rajkiran) importance.Then visits his father
in a hospital. Then starts the flash back …..
Rajkiran was owning a small printing press.
The childhood of cheran and his brother is moved
somewhat slowly , but also interestingly , in some
points like crying of pain in butt due to long
cycle journey.

Father RajKiran is an illiterate . He wants his children
to be great scholars in society . Then years pass away
and the yelder brother of cheran (Senthil) moves to a
diploma course .Then cheran moves to an engineering
course . Then begins his romance . He is attracted by
teen age specials and shifts to hostel further burdening
his father’s economy. Then Cheran to take swing in
his love with Padma Priya a new arrival to tamil
industry who have a good futre . Their romance and
the college days are the most colorful shots in
the film.

Then his brother gets a job and
he gets addicted to some midnight noodles and his
marriage takes place as a result.Here introduced a
good artist to tamil industry as Senthil’s wife. Then
she creates a situation which is Not so favouring the
joined family .Then Rajkiran’s family splits.

Cheran – padmapriya crosses their limit in romance
during a group discussion session.Padma is conceived
and cheran leaves his home with padma without
intimating his father.Then they suffer a lot in Chennai,
cheran (an A.C.Tech student) works in a press
and a girl child is born to them. Rajkiran came to
know abt it. Then cheran mirates to their village
with the father .

The casual play by saranya(cheran’s mom) is really nice.
Her innocence and maturity in the scenes is good.
Then cheran seeks a job and become a well earner.
Then his wife too gets a job and all of them (pa,ma,
Cheran ,padma and child) moves to Madurai . Then a
song which explains their happy life crosses the
screen as a cool breeze on a hotty day. That life
could have been shown for some more time.

Cheran too did the same mistake in the past as his
Brother and weeping at last cannot compensate .

At first padma may look not so fair but in the course
Of film she also shines.Then senthil, his wife are very
well carved . Since the story is canalized through cheran
he is the hero ,but the real hero is RajKiran.

Lets await for a national award for Rajkiran’s performance…..
