Manmadhan Ambu

Manmadhan Ambu has a good script without kuthu numbers, no skin show, no item girl, no villain or punch lines. Kamal haasan takes charge of story, screenplay and dialogues while KS Ravikumar does the direction. Although the story is interesting, the film unfolds very slowly and does not gather momentum at any stage. The script sparkles in patches and fails to engage the audience completely. The way in which Kamal narrates his past in a reverse mode is intelligent.Trishas character as movie star Nisha is the pivot role around which the film revolves. Sangeetha overshadows all the other artists in her natural and spontaneous performance. Trisha for the first time in her career speaks for herself and it is a revelation and certainly adds greater strength to her character. Madhavan teams up with Kamal after Anbe Sivam has does his part with ease. In their small roles Oorvasi and Ramesh Aravind bring out the agony of illness.Technically the film is top class.Music is by Devi Sri Prasad, Oyyale song stays in mind and the other numbers are just about satisfactory.

We expected more from KS Ravikumar but nothing is happening in the movie.
Overall verdict- Manmadhan Ambu is not a great movie or a bad movie but a average movie with a good script but not up to the mark (Kamal Style)

Easan

The basic plot of Easan is simple, predictable and even clichéd but it is that presentation and performances of all characters big and small that makes the film watchable. The film is about a rich spoiled son of a corrupt minister who virtually rules chennai city(night life).The film works to a large extent as Sasikumar has taken a leaf from the pages of daily crimes related to Chennai night life and its nexus with politicians and the stinking rich.All the lead characters are basically newcomers, which is the major plus of the film.AL Alagappan is astonishingly agile in a very life-like performance of a corrupt politician.Ultimately it is Samuthirakani who steals the show with a restrained performance as a cop.

On the downside, the film is too long nearly three hours,with tedious flashback,and a bloody climax.James Vasanthans songs are total waste of time and slacken the pace of the film.

Final verdict-Although Easan is certainly not in the league of Sasikumars sensational debut film Subramaniapuram,but worth a watch.

My Comment—Virudhagiri is better movie than Raavan but Maniratnam has the guts to send this stupid movie to the award function.

VIRUDHAGIRI

In film Virudhagiri Vijayakanth delivers with his directorial touch for adding some essential ingredients in narration. The film is based on Liam Neeson starrer Hollywood movie ‘Taken’, an emotional thriller indeed. However, Captain’s idea linking the Australian attack on Indian students with this plot makes it interesting.


Vijayakanth outlines whole lot of hard-hitting problems through dialogues that often wins applause from his audience, which includes the present film industry related issues of piracies. One such example is when Mansoor Ali Khan says “Avanga vaarisu edukuru pandanga mattum marketla varavae varadhu. Matthavan padam release aana anikke vandhududhu”.

Vijayakanth has used Virudhagiri as a communication vehicle to convey his thoughts at the same time satisfying the entertainment quotient to the audience. Though the plot is good the screenplay and direction is bad and it doesnt make us engaged in the movie. Songs are major speed brakers for the the movie.

But watching Vijayakanth speaking English and tracing the culprits and fighting with them is the comedy of the film. His dialogue delivery is not good and his close shots are very bad.

Final verdict—Watch it for Vijayakanths English speaking skill and you will enjoy the movie. A full fledged comedy movie of the year 2010.

KAVALAN MUSIC REVIEW

1. Vinnai Kappan--This is not a typical Vijay intro song, but falls in the same category as it is reminiscent of earlier such songs.


2.Yaradu--Vidyasagar's melodie song same as he gave it in Madhurai. A crowd favourite most definitely.


3.Sada Sada-The song is more lively and enjoyable to listen to. But an average song.


4.Step Step- It is an energetic number with the sudden downscales in rhythm causing no interruptions to the song.This one must gain popularity once people see the visuals on the screen.


5.Pattamboochi--A romantic number, Pattamboochi is simple in terms of music.This song may be a favourite with young fans of Vijay!


Overall Verdict--Vidyasagar's music album for Kavalan is quite different from his earlier albums for Vijay. An average album.

After Vijay walks out of 3 idiots remake Now Ajith or Surya is considered for the remake in Tamil.

Vijay out of 3 Idiots

Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Ilayathalapathy Vijay has walked out of Shankar's 3 Idiots remake!


Unconfirmed reports have it that Shankar and Vijay had difference of opinion over various issues, and both have agreed to part as friends.
 
http://sify.com/movies/scoop-vijay-out-of-3-idiots-news-tamil-kmekahefbie.html
 
As per sources the bone of contention between the director and actor was over Vijay's look in the film. A source close to the development said: "Vijay did not approve of the clothes or the way Shankar wanted him to go for a new hair style for the film".


The official line will be "the star could not adjust his dates". Meanwhile Shankar and GFC has started a hunt for a new hero to replace Vijay.
