Payanam

One more Radhamohans & Prakashraj combination film but this film travels in different genre which usually Hollywood film makers do it.This film is about a passenger flight with 100 odd passengers is hijacked by few terrorist. In the passenger list we have an actor, politician, priest, doctor, mimiciry artist etc. The screenplay is around this hijack.Director has followed Hollywood style by concentrating on the terrorist and their demands, just talking government negotiator and finally the action commando who successfully implements a risky rescue act to save the passenger. Prakashraj plays as negotiator, Nagarjuna acts as the commando. All the actors have done a good job. Music by Pravin mani is ok.In this thriller we too have humour which is enjoyable but logically when the flight is hijacked the passengers can’t be so relaxed as shown in the film. Though the plot is good and the story is straight forward the screenplay seems to be little slow in 2nd half,if the tempo is maintained this could be a enjoyable thriller.


Final Verdict—Good movie to watch it in theatre.

Thoonga Nagaram

Dhayanidhi Azhagiris Thoonganagaram is directed by Gaurav,a former assistant to K.S.Ravikumar has done an important role in the film. The film has Vimal (Kalavani fame), Bharani (Nadodigal fame), Nishanth (Renigunta fame), Anjali (Angadi Theru fame) as the other stars.Director reworked the Made in Madurai formula with usual friendship theme in little different manner, and packaged it with entertainment ingredients. The plot is good and what makes the film watchable is the twist and turns happening in the film. Though the film is set in Madurai it has less violence and laced with good romance, comedy and humor.Heroine is for songs only. The film should have been edited a bit in the second half to make it racier. Music is average. Climax is predictable.


Overall verdict—A Thoongamal Nagarum entertaining movie.

Yuddham Sei

When Mysskin and director Cheran joins hand the expectation meter is too high. Yuddham Sei is thriller and it lives to the expectation. Cheran has acted as CB-CID police officer, the plot is something different from other police officer films. The movie moves little slow during the investigation period but the grip is maintained till the end. Cheran has no heroine in this movie,no duet and has only one song in this film. There is a sense of déjà vu as you watch the suspense unfolds. Yudham Sei has linear narration and effective screen play. The best scene in the film is how Cheran armed with just a miniature file in a nail cutter takes on half a dozen goons armed with long knives.Films of this kind should make the audience to sit on their edge but somehow Mysskin missed that by dragging few scenes in the 2nd half. Cheran has done a neat job. Music is good, the cinematography of Sathya, especially the night effects are good. The film has traces of David Finchers Seven.


Overall verdict-A good slow paced thriller. Watch it in theatres for the bold attempt of Mysskin.
