IRANDAM ULAGAM First Review

Anushka is a doctor and Arya is a lecturer and an altruistic person. Anushaka falls for Arya’s philanthropic nature and proposes him. A similar story runs in parallel in another world. Irandam Ulagam Anushka is a tribal girl and Arya is the son of the commander in chief of a kingdom on a different planet. Arya falls for Anushka’s independent nature and tries to woo her. Will Arya accept Anushka’s proposal ? Does Arya succeed in winning Anushka ? The movie is all about what happens during the course of their love journey. Performance Only two actors in the movie and they are Anushka & Arya. Arya did awesome work in first half and Anushka givien her best for her Character. Selvaragavan worked with our indian CG designers and good vishuals but with lack of story. Both Anirudh and Harrish did their part in good manner. My verdit: Experimental love movie in high budget.

“இரண்டாம் உலகம் “செல்வராகவனின் படம் என்ற ஒரு காரணத்திற்காக மட்டுமே படம் பார்க்க சென்றேன். “ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவனை” இயக்கிய இயக்குனரின் மற்றும் ஒரு ப்ரம்பாண்ட படைப்பு. இந்திய தொழில்நுட்ப வல்லுனர்களை வைத்து எடுக்க பட்ட படம் . கதை காதலை இரண்டு உலகத்திலும் பெண்கள் எவ்வாறு உணர்கிறார்கள் என்பது தான் கதை. இதில் ஆர்யா அனுஷ்க காதல் புரிகிறார்கள் பின்பு வேறுஒரு உலகத்துக்கு செல்கிறார்கள் படத்தின் முற்பகுதியில் நகைசுவைடன் கதை நகர்கிறது பிற்பாதி fantasy எனும் இரண்டாம் உலகம். படத்தில் நிறைய வேலை பாடுகள் இருந்தும் கதைக்கான வேலை பாடுகள் குறை. படத்தில் CG கிராபிக்ஸ் பெரும் பங்கு ஆற்றுகிறது. இசை, கேமரா, குறிப்பாக விலங்குடன் சண்டை போடும் காட்சிகள் போன்றவை ரசிகர்களின் கவனத்தை ஈர்க்கிறது. அனுஷ்காவின் நடிப்பு அருமை, ஆர்யா முர்ப்பாதில் கவர்ந்திளுகிறார். மொத்தத்தில் இப்படம் பார்க்க வெடிய இரண்டாம் உலகம் தான் கதையி சற்று பிடிப்பு இருந்திருந்தால்.***/5

Atlee In Raja Rani Movie Review

Yesterday I watched Atlee’s debut movie Raja Rani

“there is love after love failure” and importantly “there is life after love failure”.
Movie start’s with a lovely wedding between Arya and Nayanthara where the two marry against their wishes just to appease their near and dear ones.
After some scene the main flash back comings, their back stories and the romances with Arya & Nazriya and Nayan & Jai respectively in their lives prior to this marriage.

Santhanam plays Arya’s dearest friend with his buddy and at the same time generating the expected share of chuckles. His consistency as a comedian, movie after movie is terrific and he also proves that he can shine as an “actor”. The scene at the hospital when Nayan insults Arya is a classic example of the myriad reactions that Santhanam can bring about in his facade.

The new darling in town, Nazriya appears really cute and her introductory dance to “Ringa Ringa” is easily among the most endearing heroine intro scenes in recent memory. Her girly voice sure has some appeal.

Arya exhibits maturity in emotional scenes, shares great chemistry with both the lead ladies and breezes through the role. Jai is a great comedic element in the first half with his constant weeping and self-pitying antics. His shrill voice suits such scenes well. Sathyan as his senior at the call centre contributes well to the movie’s comedy.

Sathyaraj is stylish playing the uber-cool dad to Nayan. Scenes like both addressing each other as “darling” and Nayan offering a bottle of beer to “correct” her dad are enjoyable. The emotional scene in the car when Nayan opens her heart out to her dad has been enacted brilliantly by both these actors. Raja Rani could qualify as Nayanthara’s career best performance till date. Great comeback by the actress with a role which gave her ample scope.

Naan Kadavul Rajendran, in never-seen-before suave and professional costumes plays to the gallery and is slowly becoming a crowd favourite thanks to his striking appearance and voice.

G.V.Prakash is the bloodline of Raja Rani breathing life into Atlee’s script. His rerecording for the romance scenes and other intense moments is top notch and lifts the overall movie viewing experience. He is no doubt among the best when it comes to scoring BGMs.

G.V.Prakash and Atlee missed the song’s Score.

The movie’s running time too length. It should be trimmed…

Atlee has ably handled a pure romantic film with so many seasoned actors on board and joins the list of promising directors to have made their debut this year.

Arya was not scored too much of the this flim. Jai and Nayan scored.

Over all Performance : Debut director Atlee Successfully launched first project.

‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ turns 100

A film crossing 100 days is no ordinary thing in Tamil cinema these days, as changing trends have rewritten the rules.

For, the rule of the day is to release a movie in as many screens as possible and make the maximum collection in the first couple of weeks.

But still, some movies manage to cross the 100-day mark with ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ touching it today. The film starring Arya, a comedy caper, is one of the super hits of 2010.

Produced by K S Srinivasan and Arya and released by Udhayanidhi Stalin‘s Red Giant Movies, the movie directed by Rajesh of ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi‘ fame got released when the ‘Endhiran‘ storm hit the box office.

However, it managed to garner attention thanks to the beautiful narration by Rajesh, good performance by Arya and Santhanam and smart marketing skills of Udhayanidhi.

Friday Fiesta 10-09-10

The first Friday of September turned out to be a very ordinary. Six films were released last Friday and surprisingly a dubbed film walked away with the cake. Industry sources say the Hollywood dubbed 3d film ‘Piranha3D’ had out done all the films released last week. It collected approximately Rs. 76 lacs from 72 screens in the state. What’s more surprising is that Piranha, a flop at the international box office took 100 per cent opening in the city. The film may be in 3D but most Hollywood films releasing these days are in 3D. The trend is educative. Better to learn things quick.

This Friday, September10 has six releases. Boss Engira Baskaran, Vanthe Matharam, Drohi and Tirupur are straight Tamil films. Maruthani and Resident Evil 4 are dubbed from Telugu and English respectively.

‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is the movie of this week. It’s a comedy about a forever helpful guy Baskaran (Arya) who is always busy doing odd jobs for other people. In the process he misses a lot of his personal life and doesn’t seem to embark on a useful career. When things almost go out of hand, a no-nonsense young girl Chandrika (Nayantara) enters his life and puts him on right track. A middle class love also blooms on the way.

Arya has tried comedy for the first time and Nayantara adds that needed glitter to the film. Santhanam’s comedy will be a major attraction they say. Director Rajesh has already proved his flair for romantic comedy with his first film ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’. Lot of expectations on BEB because of Rajesh’s direction. Also because that the film is rumoured to be the last Tamil film of Nayantara.

‘Vanthe Matharam’ is a bilingual multi starrer which started off as ‘Aruvadai’. It is produced by Henry who gave meaningful films like ‘Bharathi Kannamma’ and ‘Marumalarchi’ before. The film is about a group of officers who challenge terrorist attempts to infiltrate south India. In the process it analyses farmers struggle and related terrorism and puts forward an innovative amicable solution to have lasting peace. The film will ignite high level of patriotic fervor with its hard hitting dialogues.

Mammootty and Arjun play police officers and Sneha plays a woman pilot. A highlight of the film is a patriotic song rendered by ten popular singers. T. Aravind of ‘Aravindan’ fame has directed this.

‘Drohi’ is another film worth to try out this week end. The film is a high energy story of two young friends, who love each other and hate each other to the same degree. Chocolate boy Srikanth has turned a tough guy in this double hero subject. Vishnu is the other strong man. . Pooja, Poonam Bajwa, Poorna and Thiagarajan also feature in this film. Pooja is said to have given a hard hitting performance. Woman Director Sudha was an assistant to Mani Ratnam. So you can expect some finesse in the film.

‘Tirupur’ is releasing with a tagline ‘Friends are life givers’. A group of friends go to Pollachi for a wedding and one among them sees his dream girl there. When the boy along with his friends go to her home town Tirupur to meet and propose they find her under the custody of a nasty villain. How they get got her out of his clutches is the interesting story. Uday and Unni Maya play the lovers. MC Duraisamy has written and directed this film.

‘Maruthani’ is a 2008 Telugu film ‘Ghorintaku’ dubbed in Tamil. The film is supposedly a tear jerking ‘brother-sister’ formula film. Sister going to her in laws place after marriage is distressed and returns to her brother. Later the brother takes up the cause to give her a better life sacrificing everything he has. Here the brother and sister both die at the end in each others arms.

`Dr. Rajashekar of ‘Idhuthanda Police’ and ‘Evanayiruntha Enakkaena’ fame is the doting brother and Meera Jasmine is the devoted sister. Aarthi Agarwal and Hema Choudhary are other main cast. A separate comedy track with Mayilsamy, Aarthi and Payilvan Ranganathan has been filmed for Tamil version. Our SA Rajkumar is the music director. You must appreciate the guts of the producer to release the film in these times.

‘Resident Evil 4’ is an action themed science fiction film. It takes off from where the third part ended. In the world ravaged by the T-Virus Alice gets superhuman abilities after exposure to the T-Virus. Alice roams around searching for survivors and leads them to safety.  Her arch nemesis Umbrella is hunting for her to use her DNA in order to control the virus’ mutation. Alice also is looking for him to ‘settle her score’. Alice comes face to face with her arch-nemesis, Albert Wesker, for the first time in the series. Milla Jovovich plays Alice. Other cast includes Ali Larter, Kim Coates and Shawn Roberts.

This is going to be last big Friday for some time to come. As ‘Endhiran’ release is imminent there’s not going to be much action in releases in the coming weeks. ‘Endhiran’ is going to occupy over 100 theaters in TN cities and so everything else will wait.

Get set to welcome the Robot. Chiti is going to Bang Bang.
