ஏழாம் அறிவு திரைவிமர்சனம்:

சூர்யாவின் அசத்தலான நடிப்பில் நடிப்பில்  எ.ஆர்.முருகதாஸ்சின் அதிரடி இயக்கத்தில் உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் தயாரிப்பில்  வெளிவந்திருக்கும் இருக்கும் படம் தான் இந்த ஏழாம் அறிவு.

தமிழ் சினிமா இதுவரை பார்காத திரைகளம் இது வரை பார்காத ஆக்சன், இதுவரை பார்காத  தொழில்நுட்பம் என இதுவரை அனுபவிக்காத ஒரு அனுபவத்தை தந்து இருக்கின்றார் நம்ம  எ.ஆர்.முருகதாஸ். படம் ஆரம்ப முதலே பரபரப்பு. அதுவும் முதல் அந்த பதிநைந்து நிமிட  காட்சிக்கு நாம் படத்திற்கு குடுத்த பணம் முடிந்துவிட்டது.

பலமான படத்திற்கு பலமே அதில் நடித்த நடிகர்களின் நடிப்பும் அவர்களின் ஈடுபாடும்  தான். அதிலும் சூர்யாவின் நடிப்பு நாம் எதிர்பார்காத ஒன்று. இத்தனை ஈடுபாட்டுடன்  ஒரு நடிகன் அதுவும் தனது 26வது படத்திலே ஒரு நடிகனால் நடிக்க முடியுமா? என வியக்க  வைத்திருக்கின்றார்  மனுஷன்.

இரட்டை வேடம்: சர்கஸ் நாயகன் மற்றும் குங்பூவை உருவாக்கிய ஒரு துறவி என இரண்டு  சவாலான கதாபாத்திரம். இரண்டிலுமே மனதில் நிற்கின்றார் நம்ம சூர்யா.

அதுவும் அவருடைய அந்த குங்பூ சண்டை தமிழ் சினிமா வரலாற்றில்  சண்டைகாட்சிகளுக்கெல்லாம்  முன் மாதிரியாக இருக்க போகின்றது.

கலக்குங்க சூர்யா…. இனி ஒரு வருடம் உங்கள் நடிப்பைதான் தமிழ் சினிமா பேச  போகின்றது.

அப்புறம் அறிமுக நாயகியாக ஸ்ருதி கமல் ஹாசன். தமிழில்தான் இது இவருக்கு முதல்  படம். அதனை உணர்த்துவது போல் அழகான அளவான நடிப்பு. கமல் ஹாசன் நிச்சயம் பெருமைபட்டு  கொள்ளலாம்.

அப்புறம் அனய்யா இரண்டாவது சூர்யாவுக்கு ஜோடியாக வருகின்றார். மனதை விட்டு  மரையாத கதாபத்திரம் அவங்களுடையது.

வில்லனாக வரும் அந்த ஹாலிவுட் நடிகர் யப்பா சண்டை காட்சிகளில் அப்படி ஒரு  ஆக்ரோஷம். சண்டை கட்சிகள் உயிரோட்டமாக அமைந்ததற்கு இவருடைய பங்களிப்பு ஒரு முக்கிய  காரணம்.

ஹாரிஸ் ஜெயராஜின் இசையில் ஏற்கணவே பாடல்கள் ஹிட்டாகி விட்டன. பின்ணணி  இசையிலும் மிரட்டி இருக்கின்றார். ஆனால் ஏற்கனவே கேட்ட பீலிங் வருவதை தவிற்க்க  முடியவில்லை.

இப்படி ஒரு கதையை யோசித்தற்காகவே எ.ஆர். முருகதாஸ்சை எவ்வளவு வேண்டுமானாலும்  பாராட்டலாம்.
தமிழர்கள் எல்லாம் பெருமைபட கூடிய வகையில் ஒரு படத்தை தந்ததற்காக  ஒரு மிக பெரிய சல்யூட்.

தாங்ஸ் முருகதாஸ்.

கதையை கூறிவிட்டால் படதின் சுவாரஸ்யம் குறைந்துவிடும் என்பதால் அனைவரும் படத்தை
திரையில் பார்த்து தெரிந்து கொள்ளவும்.

நான் இந்த படத்தை இரவு 2:30 மணி ஷோவில் வீட்டில் இருந்தவாறு டிரீம் லாண்டில்
(அதாங்க கனவு) பார்த்து ரசித்தேன்.

படத்தை பற்றிய என்னுடைய கமெண்ட்: தமிழ் சினமாவின் இரண்டாம் அத்தியாயத்தை தொடங்கி
வைத்திருக்கின்றார் எ.அர்.முருகதாஸ்

விமர்சனம் பிடித்து இருந்தால் தயவுசெய்து  உங்கள் ஓட்டை பதிவு  செய்யவும்.

உங்கள் கருத்தை ஆவலுடன் எதிர்பார்கின்றேன்

தங்கள் வருகைக்கு நன்றி

Singam Movie Review

Cop stories doesn’t necessarily mean the hero bashing goons, mouthing punch dialogue or standing stiff. The cop can be simple, straight forward and still accomplish his mission.

Filmmaker Hari and actor Suriya, who come together after ‘Aaru’ and ‘Vel’, have laced ‘Singam’, Suriya’s 25th movie, with such events that sustain the attention of masses all through. Both have a major responsibility on their shoulders as their earlier cop stories (‘Samy’ and ‘Kaakha Kaakha‘ respectively) did raise the bar in Kollywood. ‘Singam’, which sounds a masculine title, is a pukka commercial entertainer.

Though the story may sound similar to many mass masala movies before, Hari’s pacy treatment to the screenplay and Suriya’s screen presence gives necessary pep.

A collage of action, song, romance and comedy at right mix has always been a safe bet. With Suriya at the helm of affairs, the commercial cocktail straightaway sticks to our heart. The movie comes with a huge star cast as in any of the Hari film before.

Besides Suriya, it has Anushka, Vivek, Prakash Raj, Nasser, Sumitha, Manorama, Vijayakumar, Bose Venkat and ‘Nizhalgal’ Ravi to name a few in the cast.

The movie tells the tale of a simple and sincere police officer Duraisingam alias Singam (Suriya), a sub inspector in Nallur in Tuticorin district. He wants to run the family business – running a provision shop and convert it to a huge departmental store. But his father (Radha Ravi) fantasizes him to become a cop. He lives up to his father’s words and becomes a sub-inspector in the local police station.

An amiable family, Singam lives at peace with everyone. Obviously their family is respected a lot in the village. Enters Kavya (Anushka), on a vacation to the village to her grandparents’ house. She comes across Singam and his upright manner and righteous nature attracts her. It’s romance between them.

There is ‘Eatu’ Erimalai (Vivek), who works as a head constable in the police station. Fate now enters in the form of Mayilvaganan (Prakash Raj), a dreaded baddie in Chennai who is into evil acts to make money. He is aided by his brother Vaikundan (Aadhi). He bumps off an old man in Nallur village when he denies parting with money demanded by him.

The old man was constructing a house in the village thanks to his sons’ money from abroad. His death has severe repercussions as his sons shoot a mail on the death to the embassy. This leaves in the arrest of Mayivaganan, who manages to get a conditional bail that he has to appear at Nallur police station and sign everyday.

Mayilvaganan comes face to face with Singam and his upright ways increases his wrath. He uses his might to get Singam promoted as inspector and brings him to Chennai. It’s now a cat and mouse game between Singam and Mayilvaganan.

Singam comes across another side of Mayilvaganan – that he runs a kidnap racket and gets away with ransom. By bringing to books the nasty side of Mayilvaganan, the Home Minister (Vijayakumar) promotes him as ACP –Anti Corruption Squad operations. Meanwhile Singam’s chase begins. How he accomplishes his mission forms the climax to a movie that begins in Nallur, (TN) and ends in Nellore, (AP).

Its out-and-out Suiriya show. He plays a cop who is in total contrast to Anbu Selvan in ‘Kaakha Kaakha’. If Anbu was stiff and serious, Singam is cool but furious. The latter is friendly and has strings in his culture. Suriya is flawless in his expressions and delivers his best body language.

Anushka is more than a regular heroine here. She romances with Suriya and got a few scenes to perform too. Prakash Raj is the scene-stealer back to do what he knows the best. He is menacing with his eyes and does a good role that he has done many a time before. Vivek as head constable evokes laughter.

Devi Sri Prasad‘s racy music is another highlight. His fast songs compliment the swift screenplay. Priyan’s cinematography is cool and pleasant.

Due credit goes to Hari. The man in his 10th film has given a movie that has his stamp in the form of an entertaining and engrossing screenplay. Unlike his earlier films where there would be wild chase and men all over with aruvals, ‘Singam’ comes with a difference.

Produced by Gnanavel Raja and presented by Sun Pictures, ‘Singam’ is the king of the masses, who love action and commercial films.

 

Singam Review

Banner: Big Pictures, Sun Pictures
Producer: KE Gnanavelraja
Director: Hari
Star-casts: Suirya, Anushka Shetty, Prakash Raj, Nasser, Vivek, Cameo, Manorama…
Music Director: Devi Sri Prasad
Lyrics: Viveka, Na Muthukumar, And Hari

Hip Hip Hooray! Surya’s 25th film ‘Singam’ has its album arriving today at stores and we bring you the first exclusive music review on this film. The album has 6 tracks with a colossal touch of DSP factor in every song. A mass-hero portrayal followed by couple of romantic duets and a mesmerizing sole to melt down your hearts… Don’t miss Baba Segal’s queer Kuthu number with an eccentric take from Devi Sri Prasad.

The first song is a title number ‘Naane Indiran’ is a typical mass hero song taken by Benny Dayal. Manicka Vinayagam starts the song with his introduction about the hero. This has a social message about being well and good maintaining good relationship with all in the neighborhood. The song will be a sure hit once the Sun Pictures are starting to provide publicity for the film.

The second song ‘En Idhayam’ has happening pairs Suchitra and Tippu cheerfully adding the romantic feel to this duet song. Na. Muthukumar has written lyrics for this song and receives good attention. Suchitra and Tipp have done a great job and is expected that the song is shot in foreign locations.

‘Stole My Heart’ is a western type song that begins something like ‘Oh Maha Zeeya’ and hard metal rocks join the song. Shaan has got himself glued severely to this heart melting western type romantic song. It has some peppy tune just like DSP’s earlier music in Telugu. Megha has equivalently done a good job just as Shaan.

The following song ‘Kadhal Vandhale’ will be a mass commercial hit as we have an energetic song in the ‘Chandrababu’ type melodies. Again it is the singers with unusual combination that make the song sound good and catchy. Baba Segal, the topmost singer in Bollywood has rendered the song along with Priyadarshini. It has simple lyrics and rap lyrics with local Kuthu beats and will be on No.1 position.

‘Singam Singam’ is a theme song of Singam that is sung by Devi Sri Prasad… The stunning hard beats and continuous metal guitars rolling on the tracks make it more unique as on a signature song. Will this be a title song or a background song whenever Suriya is on the mission as a police ?.

‘Stole My Heart’ on the unplugged version has a melodic touch and has the same tune from previous version.

Finally, the duo combo Suriya-Devi Sri Prasad has accomplished with yet another album comprised with chartbusters. Make sure, you buy a copy of ‘Singam’ as it’s the best way to keep you engaged with enjoyable music.

Paiya Movie Review

Paiya Movie Review Online: “Paiya’ is an urban story and tells the interesting events happening in the lives of a pair of lovers (Karthi and Tamanna). Besides, Milind Soman and Sonia Deepti are playing pivotal roles. The movie was widely shot in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai.

Paiya is all set to hit the screens on April 2nd Worldwide. Paiya stars Karthik Shivakumar and Tamanna in the lead roles. Music is scored by mass Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The suspense element is when an unknown person joins their three days journey and unexpected twists and interesting things, happen during the journey.

The flashback of this movie is another key element which has been screened in a very colourful way.

A song “Suthudhey Suthudhey Boomi”, choreographed by Sabeena Khan, is expected to be one of the highlights of the movie. It was shot at Prasad Studios in Chennai, where a grand set was erected by art director Rajeevan.

However, thanks to computer graphics and visual effects, the background of the song will change to dense forests and lush mountain ranges, it is said. A rain song “Adada Mazhaida”, featuring Karthi and Tamanna, was shot at the Athirappilly waterfalls recently.

Get ready to watch the stylish, romantic, thriller ‘Paiya’ in 70 MM screen. Do watch the movie on theater and enjoy the full fun of entertainment. I’m eager to watch the Paiya movie and hope you all will enjoy the movie.

Review : Striker

February 9, 2010 1 comment

Striker is the kind of film that fills you with regret. There is skilful direction here, some nicely etched moments and commendable performances and yet the film never gathers enough momentum to make an impact. Striker never becomes the film it could have been.

Striker is the story of Surya, played by Siddharth, a poor boy distinguished by one talent – a fierce ability to play carrom. Unfortunately this puts him on the radar of Jaleel Bhai, played by Aditya Pancholi, the local goon who runs gambling rackets in Malwani, the far-flung suburb of Mumbai, where Surya lives.

Surya resists the temptation to gamble with his talent but when fate deals him some cruel blows, he finds himself across a carrom board playing for serious money. Eventually Surya’s entanglement with Jaleel Bhai, ends as it must, in destruction and violence.

Director Chandan Arora delves into the fascinating under belly of a seemingly innocuous sport.

Shooting mostly in locations around Mumbai, he creates a textured atmosphere. Mumbai’s claustrophobic spaces and its pressure cooker environment with everyone on the make is nicely captured.

Arora’s tutelage under Ram Gopal Varma shows in the numerous intriguingly grim faces that pop into the frame. He even resuscitates Pancholi, who makes a hulking, meaning bhai.

Siddharth whom we last saw in Rang De Basanti
, is also very good as the angst-ridden Surya who plays his life out on the board. But the surprise here is Ankur Vikal, Slumdog Millionaire’s Mamman, who plays Surya’s friend Zaid. Zaid is a constantly grinning opportunist whose beatific smile can’t disguise his death wish. Zaid says that he has grown up under the shadow of swords and gambles big but eventually the odds catch up with him.

But all of this talent is let down by the film’s weak and bewilderingly meandering script, also co-written by Arora.

Striker goes back and forth between 1992 and the 1980s. I’m not sure that this movement adds anything to the film. But worse, the plot seems to randomly lurch from one point to another without adding up to a larger whole.

Events don’t unfold organically, they seem patched on. So Surya has two romantic sub-plots that are largely feeble.

His voice-over, which links up the various years is so insistent that it becomes annoying. And beyond a point, the various bhais and carrom games and deals blur into tedium. Even at two hours, Striker feels too long.

Eventually then, Striker just isn’t compelling enough for a trip to the theater. But there are many good things here. So I recommend that you wait for the DVD.

Aadhavan Trailer & Songs Review

August 29, 2009 Leave a comment

This is something never expected from the great music director Harris Jayaraj. The recent audio release of ‘Aadhavan’ turned spotlights of entire town to heed for the melodies. However, soon after hearing, the masses were enraged as Harris Jayaraj had loosely inserted his old own compositions. It’s more illustrious with ‘Hasiliye Fisiliye’ that is nothing but ‘Ada Gada’ from Satyam and ‘Oh Mohalai’ from ‘Arasaaktchi’. ‘Vaarayo’ reminds us off nothing but ‘Un Sirpinil’ from Pacchaikili Muthucharam and ‘Nenje Nenje’ from Ayan.

Earlier, Harris Jayaraj used to add the words from Christian prayer songs…. The exemplification lies with ‘Mudhal Naal Indru’ from ‘Unnale Unnale’ where you will hear ‘Hosanna…Hosanna’. Likewise, the song ‘Oru Maalai’ from ‘Ghajini’ has ‘Alleluia’…

Well, the ‘Minnale’ song – Vaseegara was nothing but a strong base of A.R. Rahman’s ‘Pudhu Vellai Malai’ as we hear the instrumental on flute.

Watch the Aadhavan Trailer.
