Attakasam (Ajith)

Movie:
Attakasam
Director:
Saran
Cast:
Ajit, Pooja, Babu Antony, Sujatha, Haneefa
Cinematographer:
A.Venkatesh
Music:
Bharadwaj
Producer:
Karthikeyan .P

If laughter is the best medicine, then Saran earned his stripes, though at times the comedy is crass with plenty of lewd jokes. Ajit looks sensational as usual and is an absolute delight and is clearly at home playing another double role (the third time). But Attakasam is totally devoid of any originality and director Saran has borrowed liberally from half a dozen films. He has tried to remix that MGR classic Kudiyiruntha Kovil and Ajit’s mannerisms remind you of his role in Villain.
The story is about identical twin brothers – Jeeva (Ajit) a happy-go-lucky driving instructor in Chennai who runs his own driving school and lives with his mother (Sujatha). His sidekicks are Punk (Karnas), an auto driver and Vayyapuri. His twin brother Guru (Ajit) is a rising don in Tuticorin and his best friend is Sulla (Ramesh Kanna). Guru is an angry young man who is seeking vengeance on his mother who had given him in adoption when he was a child. In fact Guru had run away from his foster parents to Tuticorin and become a ‘dada’!

Guru has a dark secret, as he was a witness to his father’s (Nizhalgal Ravi) murder by Mantram (Babu Antony) an underworld don and a real estate shark. Mantram is in search of Guru and has promised the mother that he will not harm Jeeva but due to a crazy mix-up Jeeva lands up in Tutocorin where everybody mistakes him for Guru and later creates tension between the don and his enemies like Samudrakani (‘Pitamagan’ Mahadevan) and Jasper. Finding this as an opportunity to settle scores with his mother, Guru impersonates his twin brother and how all this is sorted out in the end forms the rest of this yarn.

Ajit’s proficient ability to play double roles and the characters wit and one-liners are the saving grace of the film. Pooja is wasted as Swapna, Jeeva’s lover in an insignificant and half-baked role. In fact the lovers fall in love when their dogs are brought together to mate! There is coarse humour as the male dog gulps down Viagra accidentally!! There are plenty of double meaning dialogues which may raise a few laughs among the low-class audience.

The on-screen chemistry between the lead pair is missing and was there any need to picturise the songs in Romania? Bharadwaj songs are nothing much to write about though Unakkenna…Unakkenna…, is the pick of the lot. The driving school sets are tacky and technically the film is shoddy.

The director and script-writer Saran has no original story to say and just lets his maddeningly zany characters indulge in buffoonery in the name of entertainment

Thirumalai -(Vijay)

Yet another poor-boy rich-girl romance with parental opposition and mafia interference. Vijay plays Thirumalai who runs a two-wheeler mechanic shop. He has this chance encounter with Shweta on New Year's Day, and she wishes him success in all his future endeavours. Thirumalai, finding positive things happening in his life, attributes it to her wishes and falls for her.

He relentlessly woos her and she finally reciprocates. Her furious father - who owns half-a-dozen TV channels or so - hires the services of Arasu, the local don, with whom he was having a running feud, to put Thirumalai in his place.

The main flaw is in the scripting where the debutant director tries to depict a love story on the one side, and the politician-cop-media-underworld nexus on the other. While the hero gets involved with the first, he's not bothered about the second, till his love life is threatened.

The script is not focussed. The thrilling opening scene of a videographer taking compromising shots of a murder, running for his life and is fortuitously saved by the hero; followed by the repetition of a similar scene later is a wasted effort. For, the director makes no use of it to develop the plot. Scenes like Shweta's father's sudden volte face when he approaches Arasu, with whom he was at loggerheads, to thwart the romance is not convincing either.

Again, scenes like Thirumalai walking into a meditation hall to express his love for Shweta, and then making a mockery of the spiritual guru, the people and the place, is in bad taste, considering that the guru was depicted as a saintly, sober figure.

Recent films of Vijay had the hero indulging in violence for most part of the film, and suddenly espousing the cause of non-violence in the closing scene! Puthiya Geethai had Vijay giving a long sermon to hardened criminal Thilakan that makes him give up violence, one suspects, in sheer exhaustion on hearing the hero's long monologue. Here too, the hero's long lecture on humanity and non-violence makes the cold-blooded killer Arasu throw away his arms, probably out of sheer frustration of having to hear the hero's long lecture! Arasu pays for it when his henchmen, and partner, not quite convinced by the hero's lecture, try to lynch Arasu!

Manoj K. Jayan as Arasu makes the most of his role, except in the scene where he plays the reformed man. Kausalya and Raghuvaran as Vijay's neighbours bring some sobriety to the proceedings. Vivek's comedy is a total waste and so is the sizzling 'item' number by Kiran.

There's nothing fresh here that we haven't seen in an earlier Vijay film. The Vijay-Jyotika pair, after their successful combination in Khushi, was expected to re-create the same magic on screen. But it doesn't happen.

Movie Kathi (Vijay)

download this video hi

Production: Lyca Productions
Cast: Neil Nitin Mukesh, Samantha, Satish, Totta Roy, Vijay
Direction: AR Murugadoss
Screenplay: AR Murugadoss
Story: AR Murugadoss
Music: Anirudh Ravichander
Background score: Anirudh Ravichander

After tasting massive Diwali success in 2012, Vijay and A.R.Murugadoss are back with their second outing together, Kaththi. The film features Vijay in two contrasting but physically 'identical' dual roles, Kathiresan and Jeevanantham. While Kathir is a crook who is on the run and one with 24 previous visits to the jail, Jeevanantham is a sober, educated activist who strives for the betterment of his impoverished village where water is a big concern. Their paths cross very early in the movie and the film is set in motion.

Vijay has used this opportunity to play diverse roles in the same movie and proves his experience as a performer and as an entertainer. While Kathir is high on theatrics and is the Vijay that we have enjoyed on screen in many mass entertainers, Jeeva is fresh and non-Vijay in every aspect. Kathir is bound to be a fan favorite while the audiences are likely to empathize with Jeeva and his motives. In that aspect, Kaththi is a strong movie for the actor Vijay.

Coming to director A.R.Murugadoss, he has touched upon many issues close to his heart such as rampant corruption, farmer suicides, the plight of senior citizens, water scarcity, the workings of the sensational news-hungry media and also goes on to vilify the corporates and their aggressive expansion plans without considering their CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives. The one scene late in the second half, when Vijay delivers an intense monologue on the above mentioned issues, is a definite highlight in the overall scheme of things. But it does try to get a little manipulative as the director has played to the gallery to win the audience's sympathy towards farmers and make us root for his protagonist.

One feels Murugadoss could have gone a step forward and tightened the screenplay. The placement of all the songs leaves a lot to be desired, specially the much talked about 'Selfie Pulla'. 'Aathi' is delightfully shot whereas 'Pakkam Vandu', though a different exercise doesn't make an impact. But the dancer Vijay sparkles effortlessly in all these songs. Kaththi doesn't engage consistently as some sizzling moments are interspersed with moments of restlessness. The length of the movie is another drawback. The Thuppakki hangover continues in Kaththi to an extent. If Thuppakki was an ode to the Army, Kaththi is dedicated to the farmers of the land.

Anirudh as usual adds lot of strength through his BGM score. If you hear the theatre roar for some of the strong scenes, the major part of the credit should go to him. The other youngster on board, DoP George C Williams makes a smooth transition to the big commercial space with some solid work on the visuals, the lighting patterns and the angles.

Among the other performers, Neil Nitin Mukesh is a new addition to the list of suave, stylish villains. His voice and the dubbing elevate his overall performance. Samantha is sadly what you may call the 'typical commercial cinema heroine' who appears in the songs, few romantic scenes and stands in the background while the hero takes charge.

All the actors who play the pivotal senior citizens are convincing. Sathish as Vijay's buddy makes a mark as well. Speaking of Anal Arasu's stunt choreography, it should be a delight for Vijay's fans and the star's celebrated screen presence and agility come to the fore in these extended treats.

To sum up, Kaththi is a grand production which rides on Vijay's dual roles, the social interest angle and some impactful scenes which are part of the mix.

Verdict: Murugadoss delivers a strong commercial movie with a nice social angle, in true Vijay style !

Vel (surya)

Movie: Vel

Director:

Hari

Cast:

Surya, Asin, Vadivelu, Lakshmi

Music:

Yuvan Shankar Raja

Producer:

Mogan Natarajan

Avg user rating:
If you thought you’d seen the last of Hari’s Aruvaal films set in southern Tamilnadu, you’re wrong. There is still a lot more to be seen. His latest Vel has Surya playing a double role so that the director can have a city background along with his favourite milieu. There is no original bone in the film, as it is a rehash of Hari’s last releaseTamarabharani, an earlier film Ayya mixed with large doses of Telugu Murari, which established Mahesh Babu as a superstar. It has a feel and look of the 70’s and 80’s popular film fantasy of twins separated at birth, reuniting after 27 years to take on the villain! Hari has mixed the lost and found theme with large dosages of action, crass comedy, a love story, large family controlled by an old lady, a comic villain who is hell bent on vengeance, along with the set props- old feudal landlord’s bungalow (seen in all Hari movies), petrol bunk, paddy fields, police station, lorry laden with food grain, old style ambassador cars, white Sumos, characters wearing RMKV dhoties and starched white shirt, heroine in half sari etc, etc. The story- Charanraj and Saranya who have twins lose one of them while traveling between Tirunelveli and Chennai. The child stolen by a beggar for its gold chain is abandoned at the door of a rich feudal landlord. He is brought up in the family as Vel (Surya) and becomes the darling of everybody including Amudda (Lakshmi), the family head. Meanwhile the other twin grows up and becomes a private detective Vasu (Surya), who falls in love with a television hostess ‘7 Up’ Swati (Asin). At the same time Vel is given a tough time by Sankarapandi (Kalabhavan Mani), a former minister and local strongman who has his own axe to grind. The twins meet, swap their roles and unite to fight the villain, forms the rest of this predictable yarn. Surya in a dual role as an angry young man and a cool dude with a comic sense has pitched in with yet another fantastic performance. It is the cool dude sort of role which suits him more than being an action hero fighting a dozen guys at the same time! Asin looks pretty and does what she is expected with grace. Kalabhavan Mani is the typical villain you have seen in many similar films with his trade mark grunting and loud act. Vadivel is enjoyable in his crass buffoonery act, especially the ‘tea kada’ episode. The biggest letdown is Yuvan’s music, which to put it mildly is bad. There is not even one hummable number or a catch song in the film. The Switzerland dream song has a Suttrum Vizhi… from Ghajani hangover! All said and seen, it is the brisk pace of the film which makes it a racy entertainer. Hari does not like his audiences to think, he wants to give them an entertainment feast, which he has succeeded to a large extent. The film will appeal to a broad spectrum of audiences and work big time in B & C centers, making it profitable for producer Mogan Natarajan. And as far as Hari is concerned he is a safe bet for any producer, he has already started work on his next film set once again in Tirunelveli!

Movie LesaLesa
	Director Priyadarshan
	Producer Vikram Singh
	Cast Shaam, Trisha, Vivek Radha Ravi

This is another one from the remake factory of Priyadarshan. This time the film is remade from the Malayalam hit Summer In Bethlehem. Shaam and debutant Trisha are in the lead cast of Lesa Lesa.
The story is set in a hill station (Ooty) where a rich man (Radha Ravi) comes with his five grand daughters (four of them are Mumbai models) for vacation. The fifth girl Bala (Trisha) is very smart, and she is the favourite of her grandfather. But she has some secret, which nobody knows. All of them stay in their cousin Chandru’s (Vivek) farmhouse and the girls meet Rakesh (Shaam) who is Chandru’s best friend.
Rakesh is an orphan, who is very hard working and he actually owns the farmhouse. The girls play all sorts of pranks on the guys and slowly Rakesh falls in love with Bala. But she shocks him, by telling him, that she has a lover (Madhavan in a cameo role) who is in jail. This forms the climax of the film. Two Malayalam stars Sreenivasan and Innocent are roped in for comedy. The film is a full-length comedy entertainer.
The film is produced by Vikram Singh (of 12B fame). Also in the cast are Vivek, Radha Ravi, Cochin Haneefa, Satyapriya, Mayilsamy and Fatima Babu. The film has music by Harris Jajaraj and cinematography by Thiru. Art is by Sabu Cyril, editing by N. Gopalakrishnan and the choreography by Kala and Prasanna.

Ithu Kathirvelan Kathal

Pannaiyarum Padminiyum

Director Arun Kumar’s Tamil film Pannaiyarum Padminiyum is a realistic story about the lives of ordinary people and their simple desires, says S Saraswathi.

Owning a Premier Padmini was once considered a matter of prestige.

Even today, despite the many high-tech models flooding the market, there are some who still treasure the sturdy car that once dominated the Indian roads. Pannaiyarum Padminiyum is the story of one such individual.

The film is directed by Arun Kumar of Naalaya Iyakunar fame, who had previously directed a short film with the same concept and title. The film became quite popular, encouraging the director to turn it into a full length feature film.

The film revolves around Jayaprakash, a pannaiyar (landlord), who is smitten by a vintage Premier Padmini.

The hugely talented Vijay Sethupathi plays the car’s driver, Murugesan. Iyshwarya Rajesh, who was recently seen opposite Vijay Sethupathi inRummy, has once again been paired opposite him.

The others in the cast are Thulasi, Neelima Rani and Balasaravanan, who played Vijay Sethupathi’s role in the original short film.

Sneha and Attakathi Dinesh make brief cameo appearances in the film.

The film is set in a remote village in Tamil Nadu that has only one bus service. The Premier Padmini that has been left in the care of the Pannaiyar by a relative who is visiting his pregnant daughter is a huge attraction to the villagers.

The old Pannaiyar is absolutely devoted to the car. Murugesan drives him around and the car is pretty much used to help everyone in the village. The Pannaiyar’s wife, Chellamma (Thulasi) is the only one who refuses to get into the car. She insists that she will travel in the car only if her husband drives it.

The Pannaiyar decides to learn driving from Murugesan and surprise his wife on their wedding anniversary. He plans to drive her himself to the temple.

But the task is not so simple. Murugesan too is besotted by the car and is afraid that if he teaches the Pannaiyar how to drive, he himself will not be able to drive the car.

Besides, there is the constant dread of the relative who owns the car coming back for it. And lastly, there is the Panniyar’s selfish and greedy married daughter, Neelima Rani, who believes it is her God-given right to carry away everything belonging to her parents.

How the Panniyar fulfills his wife’s desire, despite all the problems forms the rest of the story.

Vijay Sethupathi totally blends in as the driver -- the body language, the simple lungi, and the towel around his neck, everything is understated, yet makes an impact.

Vijay Sethpathi, yet again, proves why he was number one last year. Both Jayaprakash and Thulasi have given brilliant performances. Balasaravanan, as Vijay Sethupathi’s sidekick, is hilarious, evoking spontaneous laughter with his every action and dialogue.

Iyshwarya, however, has been sidelined, as the more mature love story between Jayaprakash and Thulasi is given prominence. The gentle teasing and the easy relationship shared by the couple who have been together for many years makes a refreshing change from the regular love stories of today.

The film has absolutely no violence.

The music by Justin Prabhakaran is pleasant and in keeping with the mood of the film.

Gokul Benoy is the cinematographer and the editing is by the illustrious Sreekar Prasad.

Director Arun Kumar’s Pannaiyarum Padminiyum is a realistic story revolving around the lives of ordinary people and their simple desires.

Thenaliraman (Vadivelu)

The movie opens to a prologue, where King Parasbaram (Radha Ravi), ruler of a rival kingdom and the nine ministers of the Kingdom of Vikata Nagaram are on their way to a Chinese consulate's mansion. They are warmly welcomed by General Wang (Wilson Ng) and courtesan Hong (Vivienne Tseng) once they reach there. The Chinese consulate, headed by Chao Gong Gong (Nickson Cheng), wishes to engage in trade with the people of the Kingdom of Vikata Nagaram and reap the benefits. Thus, the ministers strike a deal with Parasbaram and the ministers to help them, promising them a huge share of the benefits. One of the ministers, Nandivarma Rayar (Joe Malloori) objects to this, saying that he doesn't want to betray the King and his people for money. Chao Gong Gong realising that he is of no use to the plan, has courtesan Hong kill him with a poisoned needle from her hair.

The film then introduces Tenaliraman (Vadivelu as the common man) who captures a gang of thieves (led by "Besant Nagar" Ravi) and teaches them a lesson. He then takes off for Vikata Nagaram where he meets the feisty Princess Maadhulai (Meenakshi Dixit), daughter of the King of Vikata Nagaram, and defeats her in an arm wrestling competition.

The film's plot then shifts to the King (Vadivelu again, as the King of Vikata Nagaram), who is ruling over his kingdom along with his nine ministers, whom he claims to be the Navarathnams (nine jewels) of his court. The most interesting aspect is that the King has a rather large family comprising 36 wives and 52 children and is confined mostly to his palace. He believes his people are happy based on the sayings and reports of his ministers. In reality, the people are being robbed and cheated by the corrupt ministers and are living in poverty. During his administration, he realizes the absence of Nandivarma Rayar and asks about it to his ministers, who reply that he had passed away. The King then declares that a new minister be appointed in Nandivarma Rayar's stead. The guards then announce the news in public. Tenaliraman overhears the news and goes to the palace as a candidate for Nandivarma Rayar's post.

After a display of his all-round talents (singing, dancing, wit and humour), Tenaliraman impresses the King and soon becomes an integral part of the King's court, even closer to the King than the presiding ones. In the meantime, love blossoms between Tenaliraman and Princess Maadhulai. Tenaliraman, in reality, is a rebel who is sent by his comrades to kill the King, whom he believes at first, is responsible for the poverty of the people. Later, while having dinner with the King and the ministers, he discovers that it is the ministers who are at fault and not the King. He tries to warn his comrades of this, but his pigeon who carried the warning message, is captured by one of the ministers (Manobala). He informs the other ministers that Tenaliraman is a rebel and they twist Tenaliraman's message to the rebels, saying that the King will be killed that night. Tenaliraman's comrades believe the twisted message sent to them and raid the palace, only to have them and Tenaliraman get captured by the King. On learning of the conspiracy, the King banishes Tenaliraman from his kingdom.

After a few months, many changes have taken place in Vikata Nagaram. The Chinese have entered the fray and are trading with the Kingdom. Unbeknownst to the King, they are reaping the rewards for themselves, leaving the people even poorer. Parasbaram and the ministers get their share and are enjoying themselves. The King is now very sad thinking of Tenaliraman and misses him. Princess Maadhulai then tells him that Tenaliraman could not have done such a thing and comforts her father. He learns from Tenaliraman's comrade, Kaaliappa (Bose Venkat) that the rebels were wrongly informed and that Tenaliraman was not at fault. The King goes and successfully brings back Tenaliraman to his Kingdom.

Tenaliraman then informs the King in private, that all the rules and regulations and schemes organised by the King on the trade with the Chinese are being carried out in such a way that it only benefits the Chinese and the ministers and not the people, who live in utter poverty, and since the King confines himself mostly to his palace and believes the words of his ministers and that he has lived a rich and prosperous life all along, he cannot mingle and live with the people of his Kingdom even for one day. The King then bets Tenaliraman that he can live with his people incognito for 10 days, and at the same time, find concrete evidence that the people are being robbed and cheated by the Chinese and the ministers. Leaving the care of his Kingdom to Tenaliraman and lying to his wives that he will be going to a nearby Kingdom for administrative purposes and for attending a feast, the King begins his mission.

During his mission, the King learns about the plight of his people from various persons. Soon, he comically finds himself in a hunger strike that is organised against him. When Tenaliraman meets the King in private and converses with him, one of the citizens (Devadarshini) overhears the conversation and discovers that it is the King himself who is among them incognito and reveals it to the citizens of Vikata Nagaram.

In the meantime, Tenaliraman is ruling in the King's state with an Iron grip and because of this, Chao Gong Gong and Parasbaram fear that they might get caught in the process. Parasbaram learns from his spies that the King is in Vikata Nagaram and not elsewhere. He reveals it to Chao Gong Gong and they issue orders to find the King and kill him.

The King, with his citizens, have started a riot in Vikata Nagaram, but unfortunately, the King is captured by the Chinese. Parasbaram, who wanted the throne of Vikata Nagaram for himself, purposefully does not divulge to the Chinese that the King was among those captured until the corrupt ministers came to the consulate to say that the King is in Vikata Nagaram. The King revealed himself and everyone are dumb founded. Chao Gong Gong orders courtesan Hong to kill Parasbarm, because he purposefully failed to realise earlier that the person they caught was the King. The King is then imprisoned in a carriage and taken to a secluded place to be executed. But the leader of a Cannibal tribe stops them midway and orders the King to be handed over to them. Surrounded by Cannibals, Chao Gong Gong reluctantly releases the King. The King, initially frightened, asks the Cannibal who he is. The Cannibal is revealed to be none other than Tenaliraman. Chao Gong Gong uses his telescope and spots something fishy and the ministers and the Chinese traders find out, after General Wang fired at the "men" on the hilltop, that the "men" were just haystacks and that they have been duped. They then to go after the pair, but Tenaliraman, in his style, chases them out of Vikata Nagaram forever using the same bag of tricks that he used on the gang of thieves earlier.

The film then ends with new people replacing the posts of the corrupt ministers. Coincidentally, most of these new people were involved in comical encounters with the King during his 10-day plan. In the end, the King selects a post for himself, on Tenaliraman's suggestion, as the child welfare minister and Princess Maadhulai is selected as the extra curricular activities minister.

The film signs off with the tagline "Iniya Payanam Thodarattum.....Dum!".
