7am Arivu-Tamil movie review

So this time my review is for the most sought after tamil movie in the year of 2011.It always happens when a proven director comes along with a master actor.This movie has the power packed Surya comes along with the one of the cream director of my time-Murugadoss. In the audio release function, Murugadoss told "Every tamilian will feel proud after watching this movie"...But the other side songs are not at all appealing when I heard even then I thought visuals can make songs beautiful as that happened in recent movies for a lot times.So I went to watch 7am arivu in a nearby theatre. So the review follows

7am Arivu - Nothing which can make your senses feel good


So the movie starts as the story of 20th century pallava king Bhodidharma,I would this part of the movie is the only thing which is worth of your money in this movie. Amazing takings and visuals. Surya acting is master,he simply shoes how the eyes and the body sync will work and makes a wonderful actor.The first tenty minutes will make you feel like you are watching a hollywood movie, I can cal Troy or Redclif or whatever it is...amazing. The story takes from there and drops in a chinese conference. The master villain enters into the movie-Dong Lee...Super looks...Perfect character for villain.Then they are taking about some operation red and a research going to happen in India. Then the villain shows the supremacy there itself by killing a guard through the so called Nokkumarmam . The plot reverses back to 93 days where the first song starts....I would say terrible...Song  is  good at all and it simply showed the movie is going to slip out from the directors hand.After some time the heroine enters into the silver screen,Shruthi Hassan....Ohh my dear...why she is there...pathectic acting plus poor dubbing that makes watching her a real pain for our eyes and ears. Upto the interval movie has nothing to do but the love scenes of Aravind and Subah( Surya and Shruthi) and in the climax villain comes again and makes his presence felt. He calls someone Operation Red has became a success and then walks on after killing a set of policeman.....At that time itself I felt the resemblence of Terminator but still you cant say like that because when the villain becomes that doesnt means that he is resembling terminator. Anyway for the first twenty minutes , the first half can be said good otherwise its a total     waste of time

In the second half,villain is searching for Surya and Shruthi for killing them.At the same time Surya came to know something which is a great secret and forget to told first half is also filled with totally waste songs which will hit anytime you doesnt need that.. After knowing the secret surya and shruthi hassan is trying to make a DNA activation and thus by remaking Bhodiharma again. In the way of doing the same they are facing lot of troubles from the villain.In the second half there is a stunt sequence, which was written by newspapers that the unit shooted with hollywood technicians and with so and so big shots. But when I watched it on screen I was laughing like anything....an utter crap...and that scene alone will made me feel that when I can leave the theatre....such much waste....It showed how one scene of a movie can make the entire movie to the heights of the boredom and that scene raised by eyebrows on another subject......Villain can induce the nokkumarmam if he looks into someone's  eyes but how  the hell he can turn everyone looking at the him and then induce nokkumarmam .........Extremely waste.....Then the experimentation happens and finally Surya takes over the villain but where is the disease spreaded it ended up no where...the punch of the movie should have been made to that......Anyway a time waste except the first twenty minutes. My Rating is 4/10

And to Mr Murugadoss, I dont know whether my blog will come across to you but still I m saying.....I would seriously applaud you to taking a such a good theme for a movie..but...Sir,When handling serious themes like this.....you need to be extra careful....You can watch how Hariharan Sir has handled Pazashiraja,Vadakan Veera Ghadha .....how Puri Jagannadh handled Maghadheera........How Redcliff,....is made....When a movie slips out the directors hand that simply means audience is going to have a terrible time at the theatres......the stunt sequence is still keeping me laughing

And For Shruthi hassan......make your Kamal genes activated otherwise please stop acting....its horrible....

For Surya..........Always gives the best shot of you....this time also the only thing which makes the movie atleast watchable is you....All the best

Tamil Movie 'Velayudham' Review

I m starting my blog in this Diwali....Lot of times I thought about starting the same to express my view point on the movies I have watched.I tried to keep an eye on every detail of movie so that I can provide an in and out review of the movies.This Diwali of 2011 is ready with the feast of 7am Arivu,Velayudham and Ra One. All  movies having expectations hitting sky high. Among them Vijay's 'Velayudham' was the movie having least expectations. So I decided to watch out that this Diwali as my first movie. Started at 6 am for watching the movie at AGS Multiplex in Chennai and the review follows

Velayudham-Vijay hits the lotto this Diwali

This movie made by M Raja who is famous for his remakes from other languages and for Vijay this one needs to to be hit as to ensure that mass masala formula from him is still accepted by the audience. Anyway the good competition with surya also is there on the otherside. Lets go to the review part

Movie start off nicely without any jerks.Then Genelia' character ,who is a freelancer enters into the scene and a twist happens over there and then comes the most awaited moment..... Vijay's intro scene...... which I should say was little nasty but when you enter into the cinema hall to watch a Vijay movie, you are supposed to experience these things...but this time intro doesnt comes with songs or stunts...:)..Then enters Saranya,who is the sister character of Vijay and then Hansika Motwani who is the kiss locker for Vijay.Then movie pitches into a well passion with very good comedy and little villian sequences. Santhanam takes comedy part very well which is also supported by the good comedy timing from Vijay.First half of the movie goes well with comedy sequences which will make the audience sit and watch without any look on to their watches.Mentioning about the songs, all the songs are well placed that means a song will come only when you needs one. The picturisation is also well done but I wont exceptional...Talking about the action sequences,as in every Vijay movie stunt scenes are done very well but still can be improved in some scenes.Second half takes off in an aggressive mood which the director successfully maintained till the end of the movie. In the second half comes the most amazing sequence in the movie...the train stunt sequence.....It was brilliantly done by Vijay and as well as all technicians worked in that......Please dont compare with the stunts you have seen in unstoppable or anyother english movie....This one is pretty good as far a tamil movie is considered....We will feel the movie is going to end over there but still we expect for something more.....Eventhough the climax is what we know, the way it is delivered is superb....you will sit and watch till the end...the script is good to make you feel that this movie is going to be a hit while leaving the theatre after watching this movie..Somebody would say the costume has been copied from Assasin Creed or some other game...I dont know much about  games as I m not into it but story has a justification for doing that.....Watch it and find out....

Finally this movie along with the crackers you can watch and enjoy the movie......Vijay is there to entertain and to make certain that he is still the hero of  masses and with a good skin show from Hansika...this one assures that it will ring box office and make producers happy....My rating is 7/10
