Siruthai

Karthi’s Siruthai directed by Siva is almost a scene by scene, dialogue by dialogue remake of Ravi Tejas Telugu film Vikramarkudu (2006).This is one of those mindless and stereotype mass entertainers we have seen in 70’s and 80’s, which will not appeal to the current generation.Karthi has done a good job his dual role is given enough difference and built ups. Tammana as heroine has done nothing except showing her skin. Santhanam is the only saviour of this film he delivers his usual one liners and makes the movie entertaining in parts. Songs by Vidayasagar is big flop.The movie is also riddled with crude dialogues.Technically there is nothing to complain or talk about.




Final Verdict-Watch Siruthai if you are a hardcore mass masala film fan.

Kavalan

Kavalan , remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard, brings together the successful duo of Vijay and Siddique once again.Kavalan is an emotionally narrated love story about a righteous and innocent man who is assigned the task of being a young woman’s bodyguard.What makes the film tick is that Vijay with the help of director Siddique has done something different within the constraints of the formula.Kavalan is a throwback to the Thulladha Manamum Thullum days of Vijay and we hope the days are here to stay. He has lived the character.One of the main drawback of the film is the famous Asin-Vijay chemistry that has failed to work on screen. Asin is not up to the mark of Gajini or Sivakasi. Better Nayanthara should have done the same character she did it in Malayalam.Vadivelu evokes smiles and the occasional laugh in the film.Vidhyasagar has scored the music and two songs are good. Yaarathu and Step step song is good to hear.


Final Verdict-A relatable love story shot in a cute and simple manner, rich with emotions, but on the slow side of narration.There is nothing special, but nothing to grumble about either.

Aadukalam

Dhanush and Director Vetrimaran  doing their second film Aadukalam which is a gutsy and a brilliant film. In Aadukalam,Director Vetrimaaran takes us to Madurai backdrop and rooster fights to tell his story in a distinct manner.Rearing roosters and maintaining them and using them for fights are a way of life and a matter of honor and lifeline for many people.The major plus point of Aadukalam is its strength in characterization.Dhanush steals the show as the actor has lived the role of Karuppu.Jayabalan, the Tamil poet as the Pettaikaarar delivers an effective portrayal with the right kind of expressions and body language.Tapasee Pannu as the Anglo Indian girl Irene is adequate and portrays her role in a respect worthy fashion.Songs are rightly placed,Ayyayo and Yathe Yathe songs are too good.The action sequence especially in the climax is realistic and credible.This is the film that touchs both heart and mind.This film make you surrender completely to the power of the experience.

Final Verdict--Dont Miss it. One of the best film in tamil cinema. Watch it in theatres.
