NEETHANE EN PONVASANTHAM FILM REVIEW

Image
NEETHANE EN PONVASANTHAM (2012) Director: Gautham Vasudev Menon Casts: Jiiva, Samantha, Santhanam Music: Ilayaraja Language: Tamil Genre: Romance Life gets defined by the mind altering moments which occurs at the most unexpected circumstances in life. Gautham Vasudev Menon continues to explore such moments in his distinctive style in Neethaane En Ponvasantham, where he refines the threads he already used in Vaaranam Aayiram and Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya . Neethane En Ponvasantham fits the bill perfectly as a so called ‘concluding’ part of the trilogy. Synopsis Gautham Menon experiments in a ‘moment’ driven story this time by surfacing through four chapters of Varun (Jiiva) and Nithya (Samantha), from the age of 8 to 23 years old. Childhood buddies, Varun and Nithya share an unconditional bond since school days. Even when tested by ego clashes and misunderstanding, destiny always brings them together at different stages of life. But what happens wh

KUMKI FILM REVIEW

Image
KUMKI (2012) Director: Prabhu Solomon Casts: Vikram Prabhu, Laksmi Menon, Thambi Ramaiah Music: D. Imman Language: Tamil Genre: Romantic Thriller After achieving a humongous success with the emotionally spellbinding Myna, Prabhu Solomon strikes back with a huge idea. With Vikram Prabhu (the grandson of legendary actor, Sivaji Ganesan) on board together with his National award gem, Thambi Ramaiah, Prabhu Solomon has invited all the eyes on his film. D.Imman’s soundtrack proving to be phenomenal hit, Kumki has raised its expectation bar to its highest. So will Kumki be able to repeat the success of its predecessor?  Synopsis Kumki is a term used to describe specially trained elephants that safeguard the crops and chase away stray, violent elephants that lurk around the village, back to their forest. When Aadhi Kaadu village is terrorized by such rogue elephant, they request for a Kumki elephant to safeguard their village. However, when the r

PULIKKUTHI PANDI (2021)

Image
Critic - No. 191 Director : M Muthiah Produced by: SUN Entertainment Casts: Vikram Prabhu, Lakshmi Menon, Samuthirakani, Vela Ramamoorthy, R.K.Suresh, Singam Puli, Dheena, Bala Language: Tamil Music: N.R. Raghunathan Genre: Action, Drama   SYNOPSIS:  Pulikkuthi Pandi (Vikram Prabhu), a ruthless youngster who fights for justice, transforms into a kind and humble husband for his wife, Pechi (Lakshmi Menon). But as fate turns brutal, his patience is tested.   REVIEW: After a decent streak of 5 rural dramas, director Muthaiah has anchored his trademark and filmmaking voice within the genre. Out of his previous films, I liked his treatment for Komban (2015) and Marudhu (2016) where he has centered his story against relationship conflicts and stakes, in a very earnest manner. Despite being quite inconsistent in character building, Muthiah’s films typically work to tell a message in the end for the audience (fully convincing or not is another issue). Shot during the pandemic period, Puli
