Rajapattai - Tamil movie Review

So I planned to watch this one because of one reason that Vikram is doing a mass masala role after a pretty long time and I booked my tickets..........So lets go for the review

Rajapattai - A total disaster 

I dont know where and how to start the review of the movie......Starting from titling, this is one of the worst titling and BG I have seen this year....Even then I waited for Vikram and then the he pitched in with a wonderful intro....I liked the dialogues at that time and I hoped something good is waiting for me and the initial part of screenplay delivered something ( like the dialogues " Entha situationilee song ilaaaa)....but then the movie went haywire......Even Vikram seems too be torchering  sometimes with his weird looks......I dont know what happened to Sucheendran the director who delivered some good movies in the past....Director is actually helpless here because screenplay has nothing in it......Deeksha Seth the heroine was beautiful but she has nothing much to do....Songs failed like anything not even a single good song ......and remember for a tamil movie songs are so integral in deciding the fate of the movie....Vikram is not going to get anything from this movie.....I dont think even any actor is going to get something from the movie.....The most expected item song featuring Shreya and Rema Sen comes at the end of the movie....People at time not even bothered to watch it out...they are running out of the theater.....I felt many people including me sat over there because we paid some 150 per ticket.....Nothing more about this movie

My rating is 2/10..........Watch it if you want to feel irritated 

Don 2 - Hindi movie Review

So this time it was pretty planned.....incase planned very well to watch the very first show of Don 2 at Chennai. So I booked the tickets on AGS multiplex,Chennai for 12 15 pm show which was the first show in Chennai....My decision was purely based on one factor ...Farhan Akhtar......I calculate him on the genre of different species which can deliver something extra ordinary

Don 2 - Don still rules as the king of Bollywood


I took my seats 15 minutes before the show and was eagerly waiting for the first shot in silver screen. And then it started with a long and wide shot of a river and there I have seen the quality movie waiting for me.Then DON enters into the scene....aree wahaaa...What a look SRK..... ultimately superb then intro of DON and to make sure he is most invincible .....a Thai styled stunt sequence I can say the same has been copied from a Korean movie ' Me and My brother' but if you say so then you can point a hell lot of Korean and Thai movies. But the editing and sequences are done with most perfection. A Farhan touch can be seen all over the movie....One thing I felt is like whether SRK is over Don-ed on the move.....Every dialogue will indicate that he is the supreme powerful.But it is well covered with a master villain and his associates so that you wont feel SRK is only master in this movie....Farhan has well crafted the characters so that the villain will stand top on a level  in par with hero and that makes entire Don-2 a nice treat

This time rather than showing the Don powers, SRK sketches out a plan and makes others to play their parts on it.And this gives a feeling that we are watching an international movie  like Italian Job or something on that sort and when the same thing accompanies by a wonderful direction from Farhan makes the entire movie on par with DON -1 and stunt sequences also requires a mention here...and international touch can be felt here also....( I m waiting for Players....the trailer showcase some wonderful sequences)......Then about the other characters, everyone played their part very well.....I can say that Boman Irany was underused they should have leveraged something more from him and same with Ompuri....but the plot of the movie justifies that.....Priyanka has more screenspace than the first part....Kunal Kohli has nothing much to do and same with Lara Dutta

The NEGATIVES I felt about this movie is that the loving sequence towards the climax should have been trimmed off. The other thing is the movie may sound little confusing at the end ....( you can feel when u watch it) and this depends on viewers. and finally Music..the old theme is still sounding in all songs..May be songs are not so important...No more negatives as per my view

The POSITIVES are  yeah.....Farhan and SRK and the ultimate style they gives in every part of the movie.........Ultimately brilliant....SRK maintained the same charm of the first DON.Wonderful camera work and editing which doesnt plays a spoil even at any point of the movie....Best action movie of the year....A sequel I felt which maintained the standards or above the standards of first part...The nice screenplay which makes SRK or the DON much more attractive and stylish.......and finally a nice Guest appearance from another top star........:P


Yeah this movie is filled with a hell lot of positives which make you walk to the theater and watch it ....A fantastic movie of the year....Thumps up to SRK and Farhan.....Expecting for Don 3 as you shows on climax...... :).......

.My rating is 8/10...........Watch it for the best hindi action movie and also for the wonderful reincarnation of SRK as DON......

Poraali-Tamil Movie Review

Not much introduction about this one, this one was an expected for me because of the Sasikumar-Samuthirakani combination. An unwanted wait  came up for watching this movie because I was so busy win the release weekend.But later I manager to watch it out. Anyway lets go for the review

Poraali - Poraali wins the fight

I didnt have any expectations for the movie because I didnt know what I m going to get from the silver screen this is again because Nadodigal and Subramaniyapuram done the same things...delivering the unexpected for the audience. Same thing has been done in Poraali also. Sasikumar and the new guy (dont know his name) enters into the scene in a normal passion without not much heroism. They are coming to Chennai for making their life better and the movie goes on....There is a lot of suspense awaits for the viewers and as usual I wont say much about the story line. Coming back to the movie, the storyline points to two things mainly about one thing, life is a fight-fight it and win it and then friendship(Sasikumar and SK seems to love this ) .This theme is wonderfully pictured and amazingly delivered. Even then I would say first half feels to be a little dragging some where and can be trimmed.But second half was super fast will make you sit and watch. The new guy deserves special mention.Nicely acted ....it doesnt seemed to be his first movie.But his dubbing seems to be out of track . I dont know whether he himself dubbed for him or somebody else dubbed for him anyway it was entirely out of track for his perfect acting.In Nadodigal everyone will be remembering that guy who will get a hit on his ear. His performance was amazing and got perfect with a nice dubbing and here in Poraali a wonderful acting took a backseat with a bad dubbing anyway kudos to the guy. Sasikumar's acting also was wonderful as usual. His eyes delivers perfectly this time also. I have seen this in the same in Subramaniyapuram and Nadodigal

Movie doesnt have anything which can termed as technically brilliant . The story line also doesnt seems to need any of that too. Even then we can see some good camera shots in the movie.Coming to another part Songs, we cant have a 'Kangal Irandal' or ' Sambho Siva Shambo' , the music  of the movie is not scoring at all even you can find a tune similar to Sambho but didnt deliver to that level but its well merged with storyline.Dialogues are as always brilliant and conveys a message most of the times. We would feel a spark inside...a spark to win life .....Shruthi or anyother heroine has nothing to do in much rather than some pitty sentimence. The movie's highlight is a nice storyline supported by a that much nice screenplay  and again the whole stuff supported by a well delivered acting from Sasikumar and his friend . These all will keep you glued for the entire movie and also a wonderful climax :)

My rating is 7/10 ....Watch it for an Ignition inside :)

Mission Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol ---- English Movie Review

So its again time for an english movie. Actually I was about to put Machine Gun Preacher review but unfortunately the movie was playing only at Sathyam in Chennai and that too at 10 pm show which is almost impractical for me so I just waited for  Ghost protocol , MI-4 my favourite series especially after MI-2.So I decided to watch the movie along with my team but again unfortunately I missed it because I didnt got the bus in time. So I didnt left any time,came back at home and booked the ticket at AGS Cinemas, Chennai for Sunday. This time no troubles and reached theatre perfectly on time and had my seats . Here goes my review....


Mission Impossible 4-Ghost protocol ----Mission successfully(superbly) accomplished

Agent Ethan Hunt is back . This time the secret team and the Americans are accused of  bombing Kremlin in Russia and Ethan is about the find out the guilty ones and save the nation and also to save a nuclear war.The movie doesnt make you bore for a second only because of one thing, thunderbolt action all over. For a long time audience are missing the master gadgets and supercars since Brosnan left the James Bond.But MI 4 provides that in plenty. Every sense of future technology is brilliantly used in the movie. And the action sequences are also extremely brilliant. The one above the top of Burj building in dubai deserves special mention and also the highlight of the movie.After James Bond and Bourne ,now Ethan is also made his visit to India. The second half of the movie happens mostly in India specifically in Mumbai.And happy to see Mumbai is well pictured having multilevel high sophisticated car parking(even though we can see the cars used in the parking stunt sequence are of foreign reg and that simply means the sequence is shooted in foreign country :P). Anyway it is pictured more better way than the Slumdog Millionaire and we can see super cars allover.Here I would like to mention Anil Kapoor's role. It is touted that he is doing something big in the movie but I was too disappointed in his role as he has no screen space rather than a 10 minute time. When I can expect an Indian hero in a fulltime role.Hope I can see SRK with Learnado Decaprio in the Martion Sarcossi in the gossip movie created by the media.

The movie lacks a villianism which was a highlight in the MI-2,John Woo always make villains more perfect or equal perfect to the heros(remember Broken Arrow ,Face Off and Redcliff). In MI-4 villain cannot be termed as super villain but Ethan was superbly superb and that will make you sit and watch the movie for the entire 2.30 hours.Tom Cruise is extremely amazing. When I first heard about MI-4, I thought that Tom Cruise is making his last attempt to stand as none of movies are making a mark.But after watching this one I would Tom is charming and beautiful as before and also brilliantly done all action sequences including the Burj sequence ,Parking stunt sequence and the sand storm one.Thumps up for him . The co-characters had also done a brilliant job and also some comedy sequences from Pegg makes the movie more beautiful.

Movie is one of the most technical one I have seen in recent times.Infact I was missing this type movie for a long time since a James Bond movie.This made me so happy I would say extremely happy to saw technology rightly mixed with a super screenplay.So watch it ,watch it and watch it for a brillaint goosebumping action movie with your favourite Ethan in his best form

My rating is 8.5/10.........A must watch ....Miss if you like to have the risk of missing one among the wonderful action movie of the decade

The Dirty Picture- Hindi Movie Review

So its about the Dirty Picture, I m expecting this movie since I heard the gossips regarding the same.My expectation is mainly because of only one reason...Vidya balan+N Shah......Ishqiya was the one I just loved....I love and admire Vidya among all the new generation superstars as she wont just go and do a pinky ponky role but it would be meaty it would stand as the hero all along the movie....Anyway we can go to the review


The Dirty Picture - The Best Picture

Movie starts of with the poor lady roaming around for small chances in movies to feed herself.But still the silver screen is her dream and she didn't got a change to be there....One day she did an item dance in a movie by chance and leave it on hoping that it would be her first silver screen appearance and happily goes with her mentor to the theater to watch her but unfortunately that didnt happened as the director removed the song as he is finding that doesnt suit his movie....but the producer feels sad as his cash registers are empty and to get his money back,he is including the song our heroine does and there starts the real story of Silk.....Yaaa off course the dirty picture starts its track rolling from there......Wonderfully Wonderful .....

The movie has Vidya ,Vidya and Vidya .........Sometimes even N Shah are overshadowed by Vidya's acting....I think words are not enough to explain her acting....A Silk was re produced on the screen....Not even a single time my eyes went to her cleavage or tummy always get stucked up on the wonderful emotions Vidya's face was delivering every moment...Every character was justified by the actors....I felt Imran Hashmi was little replicated by his emotions he has delivered in the old movies but still he was good and well fitted to the role.....The movie superbly showcases the emerging of a local lady to the sultry siren of the Indian Cinemas and then just becoming  getting down to a level of a B grade actress and then committing suicide.Not even a single scene will make you bored. Vidya has wonderful fitted into the character...The weight she has put on definitely added an advantage for her in making this one perfectly perfect ...The oolaa ollaa tune will keep you going all over the 2 30 hours....


There is one dialogue in the movie.....'Silk...These times we have lot of heroines but you are the real superstar of heroines' yeah I felt the same saying to Vidya....' aaaj times mein heroines bahuth hothi hein leiken tu heroines ka superstar hee'......The editing of the movie deserves a special mention as the color tune matches well with the scenes and the moof of the scene this happens very rarely in movies especially in Indian movies... most of the times the color tunes and moods wont getting synched up always...The movie also doesnt show cases the downing of Silk but also another upcoming Shakeela.....Music department also scores well with Ollaaa olaaa tuning you up all over the movie...The retro looks are also maintained perfectly

My Rating is 8/10----Watch it out otherwise you will miss a wonderful acting performance.....Your money is double worth



Osthe - Tamil Movie Review

A weekend came up and I have a set of movies to be watched in the theaters which includes Dirty Picture,Osthe,Porali,Mayakkam Enna and Machine Gun Preacher....I need to select any two of them as the timings then only will come in my way...So I selected Dirty Picture and Osthe because of two reasons...One is Osthe is the most expected tamil release of the recent times and Dirty Picture will be leaving theatres this week and also I want to catch my favorite heroic heroine in action.Anyway this time I have two write ups..Let me start on with Osthe


Osthe - Overly massed up 

The movie is the most expected among the recent releases in tamil cinema and that is because of two reasons...One is the that this is the remake of the super megha hit Dabangg and other one is the super hit songs along with Simbu's lone hero movie after Vinaithandi Varuvaya.From my personal perspective I didnt liked Dabang too much as a movie but I liked the wonderful way Salman carried a bleak story for 2 hours with his star show and power.....and may be thats why we call Salman,SRK all stars and Kamal,Mammotty,Mohanlal all actors....Anyway thats debatable.....So when I entered into the theater for Osthe certain things just filled in my mind.....First thing is how the songs will be pictured as all of them were chartbusters especially 'Kalasala' which is the remake of Munni and 'Cute Pondatti' which can be called as a Simbu trademark....secondly how Simbhu's sixpack :P...........Anyway I have some expectations before watching the movie which are I think are the normal expectations of any movie lover going for a masala movie

The movie starts off with a pretty debatable topic.....he he ..watch it out.. I m not expressing it out here....Anyway its about a core cash that has to carried from one place to another for Boxer Daniel(Sonu) elections purposed and while the cash is on the way...our hero enters....Osthe -The Mass......with a stunt scene which replicated the one which happened in Singham(hindi version) but I would say this one failed miserably as the hindi stunt scene scored like anything.....then movie starts of there with a intro stunt and so on....Simbhu tried to give life into character by changing the way he walks and also using the local slang but boss still Salman is way front of you....You were not able to reach anywhere near him....that has been resembled in many scenes including the romantic ones.....Richa(heroine) was okay compared to Sonakshi in Dabang still I felt more life was with Sonakshi in the character....Eventhough almost all scenes are copied exactly from Hindi somewhere something is missing.....Its not just because I have watched the orginal before but because the film is overly massed up.....In the punch dialogue section also Simbhu fails badly...'Naan Kannadi Mathiri' didnt evoked a goosebumps in me like Vijay's punchlines.....Even the climax scene also got over massed such that you cant find a single logic in any of the stunt scenes....In every stunt scene you will think' hey how he is here?'....

The positives of the movie is definitely the comedy track from Santhanam....the brilliant one lines always kept us live amid of the total rampage of the movie . Comedy of this movie always needs a mentioning as I found this department scores much above the original one . In the original one laughing was barely happening...Secondly the movie scores well above Dabangg in terms of music also...while the original has just Munni to boast off...Osthe has almost all songs becoming super mass hits and also I personally felt Mallika's Kalasala was above  Arrora's Munni.....Even then these two things wont be enough to place Osthe above or equal to Dabangg ....It is way below Dabangg only

People would say I had compared Osthe mainly with Dabangg  rather than making an independent review.....Yes I do compared with Dabangg ....but still my review points to the goods n bads of Osthe also...


My rating is 4/10.......Watch it for Songs and Santhanam
