Deivathirumagal

Deivathirumagal is a poetical tale of love and affection between a dad and his 5 year old daughter. Vikram is the dad and Sara is the daughter. Vikram is a mentally challenged person to the world but he is her dad. Vikram’s acting is too good in this movie. The plot is so simple when Vikrams daughter Sara is going to school where she is facing the day to day problems of todays children but in the other side her dad is mentally challenged. When a new school correspondent enters the scene she meets Sara who happens to be her sisters daughter now the story starts she takes sara with her and Vikram is fighting with them to get her back with Anushka and Santhanams help. Anushak is a lawyer and Santhanam is her assistant. Anushka looks ravishing and as a struggling lawyer who wants to bring justice to her client. Santhanam’s comedy gels along with the story line and brings in enjoyable lighter moments. Sara as Nila almost steals the show as Vikram's daughter, the bonding between the father and daughter is well brought out especially in the court scene.Nirav Shahs camera work is too good.Director Vijay is able to draw the audiences from the first scene into the life of Vikram. His matured handling of the script and his characters are just testimony to this film.Music by G.V Prakash is good. Among the songs Vizhigalil Oru Vaanavil stays in your mind. Dialogues like “Vakil kitayum doctor kittayum poi pesa koodathu, aana vakillum doctorum poi pesalam” and ‘Saamikku amma kedayaada’ ,’Nee mattum appavoda iruke naan iruka koodatha?’ are noteworthy. There are quite few scenes that tug at your heart’s strings and almost all of them happen between the dad and the daughter.On the downside the movie is very slow. This movie is in the lines of I am Sam movie.


Final Verdict-Watch it for Vikram.

Venghai

Hari directed Venghai, is a commercial entertainer with all essential ingredients. Venghai is nothing but a old wine in a new tetra pack with hardly any story or twists but it is the furious speed. Venghai is set in the Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu. Hari follows the old 70-80’s formula film pattern where all the characters are either black or white. The milieu, clichéd characters and a larger-than-life hero who says that “my family is a temple and my parents are the Gods” will reassure the dying joint family system and values. Apart from Dhanush and Tamannah the movie also has Rajkiran, Prakash Raj, Ganja Karuppu and Vijaykumar in prominent roles.The story is similar to Hari’s Ayya and has some shades of his earlier film Aaru. Tamannnaah is there only for the sentimental twist, romance and mandatory songs. Dhanush makes Venghai a gripping story of grief and heroism due to his powerful performance.Highlight of the film is Prakash Raj, his cat and mouse game with Dhanush in the second half is the highlight. Songs by Devi Sri Prasad are just about ok. The film moves at a slow pace in the first half but gains momentum in the latter half.


Final verdict—Better than Mappilai
