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.

SINGAM II- My Review- EXCLUSIVE

Continuation of Durai Singam‘s mission in thoothukudi followed by SouthAfrica..
As witnessed in the ads it is an in and out mindless masala movie with the routine route of a fight follwed by a song and comedy sequence and sentiment
in the whole first half.
There are so many ribtickling serious scenes in the movie as well.
Suriya- He performed well indeed. Fire in acting.Few scenes were really powerful especiallly the interval block and first 20 mins
of the second half.
Apart from it drug smuggling,gypsy chasing,hero flying, etc., etc., blah blah you can predict the next scene well in advance..
Hari‘s route is this but there are so many obstacles he should have seen it. Trying to make the scenes jet speed is ok but it should
have continued throughout the movie.
Santhanam does the humour part,nice but silly dialogues and Vivek did a role similiar to sathyan in thuppaki.
Hansika was so cute. Her role is heavier than Anushka who filled the glamour portions in songs.
Coming to DSP the music is below average and the singam theme was ok for few moments. “Singam Dance” song was the best of the worst.
There are lots of starcast among them Mukesh rishi and rahman doing the Villain role followed by Danny the Afrian drug leader who was disgusting.
Graphics and VFX works horrible,
V.T.Vijayan failed to cut a lot of unnecessary scenes.
Priyan’s cinematography was apt for the movie.
It is nothing wrong in doing masala and commercial movies but it should satisy atleast fans of the hero.
If it doesn’t satisy even the fans then it is no use in marketting, still the makers of this movie
are keen in telugu market value and i believe that they overpowered the hero with tons of masses and ultimately it reversed against the
hero.People however will be forced to go to the theatres in the first week by the promotions.After that it may run only in tv ads as superhit.
And the movie is very lengthy almost close to 3 hrs.. you need some patience as well..
On the whole to sum it up there are some noteworthy scenes then and there you can surpass it by those saviours.

Singam II-Mission failed to fullfill

ORU KAL ORU KANNADI – REVIEW

RED GIANT MOVIES UDHAYANIDHI STALIN PRESENTS:

ORU KAL ORU KANNADI****

A Movie Story & Directed by Rajesh M who has done the film neatly in commercial and full of comedy.
The producer Udhayanidhi himself is the Hero of the film with Santhanam making full comedy. Heroine is Hansika, Saranya Ponvanna Udhayanidhi mother, Uma Padbhanan Hansika’s mother and father is Shiyaji Shinde. With varadha rajan and others.

From the beginning itself the movie moves in the comedy track and full of comedy mixed with stunts, songs in foreign locations. Songs are all good, music by Harris Jayraj, Camera Balasubramniam, Lyrics Na Muthukumar, Arts: Jacy, Choreography: Dinesh, Stunts Rajasekar, Editing Vivek Harshan PRO: Nikil

Very neatly and in commercial and comedy fully with excellent timings by both Udyanidhi and santhanam speaks about the story. Udhayanidhi being produced many films is hero in this and does not looks like a new actor and done his part in very good manner with Hansika a beauty fitted perfectly for the Hero.

An wonderful comedy mixed commercial movie with all credits.

Siruthai Tamil Movie Cast and Crew:
Cast: Karthi, Tamanna Bhatia, Santhanam, baby Rakshana and others.
Director: Siva
Music: Vidyasagar
Cinematography: Velraj
Producer: K. E. Gnanavel Raja
Release Date: 14 Jan 2011
Genre: Action – Comedy
Language: Tamil
Certification: U/A

It seems Karthi is following his brother Surya’s footsteps when it comes to choosing the scripts and working hard on the characters. The actor, who has given four superhit movies till date, is back with Siruthai and has paired with Tamanna Bhatia again. The audience has huge expectations on this movie. Now, let us see whether the movie has met the expectations or not.

Siruthai Tamil Movie Story:

Rocket Raja (Karthi) and Pattu Poochi (Santhanam) are small time thieves, who cheat and steal valuables from every given opportunity. They do anything and everything to make quick bucks. Once, they attend a wedding ceremony to rob but Rocket Raja, who saw Shwetha (Tamanna) at the function, falls in love immediately. As expected, after a series of incidents, they start seeing each other. However, the situation turns serious when a little girl (baby Rakshana) claims that he is her father. Raja tries to find out the truth and discovers that the girl is the daughter of an IPS officer Rathinavel Pandian (Karthi) and he gets killed in front of Raja during a fight against dons. What happens next should be seen on-screen.

Siruthai Tamil Movie Performance:

Karthi has given an excellent performance. His comedy and one-liners as Rocket Raja and his killer looks of a tough cop Rathinavle Pandian steals the hearts of the audience. He has done two contradicting characters with ease. Santhanam is at his usual best and tickles funny bones of the audience. Tamanna has given her best even though she has a limited role to play in the film. Music by Vidyasagar has become popular even before the release of the film. Cinematography by Velraj is good. Especially, the camera works in action scenes make a good watch. Director Siva should be credited for bringing out the best from his team.

Siruthai Tamil Movie Remarks:

You can watch the film with your family because of the entertaining elements. It has a perfect mix of romance, action, fun, comedy, glamour and sentiments. It is a perfect Pongal treat for Kollywood audience. Do not miss this movie!

‘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.
