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 t...

THIRUTTU PAYALE 2 (2017)

Image
Critic - No.137 Director:  Susi Ganesan Casts:  Bobby Simha, Prasanna, Amala Paul Music:  Vidyasagar. Language:  Tamil Genre:  Drama / Thriller  PLOT: Police inspector Selvam (Bobby Simha) tries to nab Balki (Prasanna), an IT expert who traps innocent women on Facebook. REVIEW: Through ‘Thiruttu Payale (2006)’ , director Susi Ganasan gave a sleeper hit that made him climb the league of important director in Tamil Cinema. However, after the failure of the highly anticipated film, ‘Kanathasamy (2009)’ , Susi Ganesan had a brief hiatus in Kollywood. Riding on his best film’s concept, he is back with ‘Thiruttu Payale 2’ that banks heavily on the current privacy invasion in social media and cyber crime that are rooted from the rapid technological advancement in the recent decade.  The main fear the film attempts to put out is that no one life is private anymore in this world surrounded by modern technology. If the predecessor dealt wit...
