Pathinaaru - Tamil Movie

Life is getting busy for me these days. So no time for movies like before. After such a long time I saw the movie 'Pathinaaru'. That lead to the following review.

'Pathinaaru' is written and directed by D. Sabapathy and produced by A. Sivasankar. Hero of this movie, 'Mirchi' Shiva. As soon as I saw his name I was excited that it would be funny like  'Tamil Padam'. But R-ambam warned me in the beginning, "don't even think about it, it's no way closer to that movie". Seri apadi enna thaan irukkunnu started to watch that movie.

Ipo kathai ennana, asusual parents protesting the young lovers. When the couple gets ready to elope, heroine's mommy gives them a novel to read. Anga thaan flashback, how the story of young lovers turned into tragedy. The new couple are least bothered about the story but things get serious when the heroine knows that novel is the real story of her father's. Her father gives some advices about love. The heroine than gets ready to go to Australia for her higher studies even though she didnot finish her UG. The hero gets frustrated and tries to find out what exactly happened to her father's love. Then there is the climax.

A good usual message for the teenagers. Love doesn't go wrong when you pay more attention to your career and life. Surukama sollanumna, "Duty first Beauty next!".

 Story starts beautifully and ends beautifully. A wonderful screenplay and a good direction. Heroine 'Madhu Shalini' is looking cute but she thinks before her act. Each time she takes a big pause before the next scene. Shiva is good but it takes a little time to see him as a serious actor. Abhishek is well trained artist and his performance is good. This time the actress who plays a role of Abhishek's wife is better. I still don't know her name, I've seen her in lot of movies with 'no acting'. She is good looking, so she is perfect for the role of Heroine's Mom.

'Vinitha' who plays the role of young Ilavarasi has done a remarkable performance. Even though 'Kishore kumar' the young Gopi didnot have much things to do in the film he had done his best. Pandi as  'Sakkarai', proves himself as a good character artist.  Kasthuri in cameo appearance. Good to see her after a long time. The two kids who plays the role of Little Gopi and Little Ilavarasi has done a very good job. Especially I like when little Gopi  runs away from school crying, he is co cute.The choice on choosing the actors are very good.

The explanation for the title is also neat.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has done a good job in music.

Mothathil intha padam ellarum kudumbathoda votkarnthu paarkalam.

Padam paathavangalukku voru question :  They may give thousands of explanation for this, but Ilavarasi accepted to marry Sakkarai in the end. Apadi irukkum pothu Gopikku guilty feeling vara koodathu thaanae ? Suspense vodaikaama pathil sollunga.

Vettaikaran!

After such a long time, I'm back with "Vettaikaran"!
"ssssssss, appa mudiyallai!"

Actually, I stopped seeing Vijay films long time ago. You all know the reason, few actors in Tamil industry can be referred as "Telugu to Tamil" dictionary and Vijay is one of them. I always prefer the original version, but this film is different I started to get forwarded mails teasing this movie, even before its release. I was curious "enna thaan mokka padama irunthaalum ipadiya jananga react panrathunnu".
Padam paarthathukapuram thaan therinjathu, some fwds are true and can be trusted.
While watching this film you will automatically say "dhillupa", "dhoolupa". These are not credits, these are the movies you'll remember for some scenes.Intha rendu padam mattum illai innum "Pudhiya mannargal", "Sivaji", "Saamy" apadinnu aduki kittae pogalaam. Paathi padathula you'll get a feeling voru vaela ithu "Tamil Padam" , "Lollu sabha" maathiriyo nnu.
"Masala padam" apadingarathukku this movie is the best example. I understand Vijay is a GREAT fan of "Super star", avara maathiri nadikka try pannrathu thapu illai athai apadiya copy adicha aetho fancy dress competition paakra maathiri irukku.

I was very happy to see the super villain, "Salim Ghouse" after such a long time. I still cannot forget his role as "Jintha" in "Vetri Vizha", it was the best.In this movie he had done his bestnu thaan sollanum paavam avar enna pannuvaru script apadi.
The actor who acts in the role of "chella", should be mentioned. He had done his best but I think he is from another state, he reacts like he doesn't understand the dialogues in most of the scenes.Enakku voru doubt, enna thaan voruthangalukku swimming theriyalana kooda, thannila vizhuntha try koodava panna maataanga...

Heroine Anushka is pretty. Her role is more like a girl with only looks and ofcourse she does a pretty good job in songs.

Sathyan and Sukumaari kudutha rolea correcta panni irukaanga.
Music director Vijay Antony has done a good job in music.
Vijay imitates pretty much all the Tamil actors.
Mothathil "Vettaikaran" voru "Veshakaaran" .

Siva Manasula Sakthi!

For this movie I can give a single line review,
"Stupid Movie Sagikkalai"

Achamundu Achamundu!

A friend of mine suggested me to see this amazing movie while we were talking about protection for kids. I was scared to see this movie in the beginning because, chumma manasai pottu kuzhapikka vaendamnu thaan. Aerkanavae US la, "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" paarthuttu theruvula poravanga varavangalai ellam paarthu santhaegam varuthu. Irunthaalum antha padathula apadi enna thaan irukkunnu voru curiosity. Padam paathathukappuram avangalukku thanks sollanumnu thonuchu, its such a wonderul film, ellarum paarka vaendiya film, kuripa veli naatula irukaravanga kandippa paarkanum.
Summa solla koodathu, US lifea avlo azhagha director Arun Vaidhiyanathan prethibalichirukaaru. Anga irukara vovoru family kittaeyum poi interview edutha maathiri irukku. Grocery shoppingla irunthu birthday party varaikkum, it's perfect.
Prasanna and Sneha acted so perfectly, definetly I should mention about the little girl, she had done a very good job in the climax. Should appreciate the painter, John Shea, he gave such wonderful expressions in his eyes.
I've seen many houses in US, they have the name of the security system board outside. I don't understand one thing, isn't it a warning for the burglar's to get alert? What if, he catches the owner outside and blackmails him to switch of the security system? Trust me, I've even seen a problem like this in one hollywood movie, "Firewall", starring "Harrison Ford".
Ennai kaetaal I'll give advice to all the alarm systems have a secret code for these kind of black mails, in case if the owner gives that code, it'll be a warning for them and send help immediately. Chumma phone panni," we received a call are u alright?" apadinnu kaetkaama intha code paarthavudanaey prechanainnu purinjukanum, epadi enoda idea?
I will recommend our Sandrabullock's, SING from the movie, "Miss.Congeniality" to every house wife, that is perfect. I know if someone attacks you all of a sudden it's impossible for you to follow all these. Try to remember, the kid in this movie does that.
Athey maathiri cleaning lady, maintenance guy apadinnu veettu keya copy panni kodukarathula enakku vudan paadu illai.
Intha padam ellarukkum voru nalla paadam. Kandippa ellarum paarka vaendiya padam.

Heroine,Sanakhan, she is pretty and waste for this movie.So lets say she is pretty waste in this movie.She dances well. Sneha, she is cute! I didn't know these two will form an excellent pair. I have to say I liked Simbhu after interval in this movie. Every night, Simbhu and Sneha are meeting in a train. I don't know one thing, voru night koodava, Sneha veetla, ponnu irukaalannu paarka maatanga? Enna sollunga, cinema apadingarathunalum, ipadiya!

Got to mention this dialogue here,

Pirivom Santhipom

After our Director Visu, Director Karu.Palaniappan, really got the guts to take a family oriented film which can be seen with our family.

In that way, Pirivom Santhipom is great.

The story focusses on lonely Sneha, who always wanted to be in group, gets married to Cheran, who has a BIG joint family, and its obvious that he expects privacy for being with his wife.Ipo kathai purinjirukumae, anga thaan prechanai aarambam aaguthu.

Epavumae tamil cinemala, santhoshamana voru family iruntha....... antha veetula vaelai saiyaravanga, "intha veetukku periya thirushti poosinikka suthi thaan podanum" apadi sonna adutha scenela, vonnu antha veetu head mandaiyai potuduvaaru, illaina veetukku vantha marumaga thagaraar panni kudumbathai piripaanga, intha sothapal ellam illamalayum voru kathaiyai swarasiyama kondu poga mudiyum apadinnu nirubichirukaru namma director. He also gives us unexpected shocks, which can be recovered in few minutes.

While watching many scenes, we (Married people) may have a chance to search for a hidden camera in our house, they exactly duplicates our life incidents, esp., in one particular scene, after Cheran comes home from his office, Sneha, gives him coffee and tells him about her day, he just nods his head without even listening to her, with "mmm" and watches TV, after she finishes he claps watching TV. Sneha, don't worry sweetie, you are not alone, kalyanam aana ellarukum antha problem vundu, as days goes on, you'll get used to it or you'll start writing blogs ;)

If husband never notices us, it doesn't mean he doesn't love us, athaiyum intha padathula eduthu solli irukaanga. Summa solla koodathu, thaniya veetula voru ponnu irunthaa ennanellam seiva, apadingarathai theliva Director kanmichirukaaru, anubavam pola.

Enakku voru vishaym intha padathula puriyellai, in one particular scene, they say that Sneha knows everything, she is interested in reading, and embroidery, then why can't she do that when she is alone. Namma voorla thanimai vaatuthunna there are so many options, tuition edukalam, vaelaikku polam, ipadi sollikitae pogalam. This story would be more appropriate for Indian house wives in abroad, let me tell you all. If loneliness hits you, you got lots and lots of options in this world, sontha voorna vaelaikku polam, veliyur na, you got internet, find it as a good oppurtunity to learn something,. athai vittutu, voorukku ponum voorga podanum, family voda thaan irukanum, apadi sonna vaelaikku aagathu.Namma husband careerkkum help pannanum.

Seri athai vidunga, namma kathaikku varuvom, padam romba nalla irukku. Sneha is so pretty and homely, nalla adakamma sirichirukaanga, got to mention that, aenna Parthiban kanavu Sathya paarthavangalukku puriyum. Cheran is good in expressions.Jeyaram is a good Doctor. Vinothini is a good neighbour. Ipadi padam bore illama nalla poguthu.

Mothathila Pirivom Santhipom is a good family movie, meant mainly for entertainment and relaxation.

Yaavarum Nalam

Yaavarum Nalam, ithu voru aarbaatam illatha "Paei padam". Unlike all other horror movies there's no much violence in it. Chumma cakela irunthu viral varathu, face wash pannum bothu, peel off mask potta maathiri skin peel aavarathu ithu ellam illama etharthamana thigil movie.Athey mathiri nachunu voru short flashback.Should appreciate the screenplay.Music is good, esp., I liked the "Yaavarum Nalam" serial song, it has the perfect serial touch and pleasant to hear.

The movie maintains the thrill from the beginning till the end.It makes you sit on the edges of the seat, never relaxed.

Madhavan is superb in this movie.He acts so perfectly.The way he gets panicked for every scene in the serial, is shown beautifully. Saranya has done a very good job as a good mom and a wonderful mother-in-law. Serial paarkum pothu guest vanthalo illai phone vanthalo, the way she reacts is so natural.Neetu chandravai paarkum bothu anniyama theriyella, aetho pakathu veetu ponnu maathiri romba nalla panni irukaanga.Police Inspector is good with his sense of humour, even if there's no dialogue, he gives good expressions.Got to mention the serial artists, they are excellent in their casual acting, esp., SreeVidya(athaanga namma kolangal Aarthi), she doesn't even need a contact lens to scare us.She had done the climax so beautifully by changing her news reading expression to revenge by staring at us with her "big egg eyes".The only person who still doesn't know how to act is Maadhavan's anni character.She will do a great job as a news reader. She is pretty, but expression less.Luckily, there's much less dialogue for her in this movie. Apart from her, everyone had done a great job, including hammer.They could have used some other weapon for murder instead of hammer, it would've been realistic.You can watch this movie even at night, it doesn't haunt you much, it ends so perfectly.You can have a good night sleep.

For the persons, who mute the TV while watching horror movies ( including me),well....., it doesn't work here, they shake the camera whenever there is a "thigil".

I'm so glad that directors understood, they can scare the people just with TV mega serials. It's better for the mega serial directors to give the script to ghosts, they direct so perfectly and finishes so beautifully for each and every family. The serials predicts the future too, for example, if a family member is sick, and the doctors say, "we can't tell you, right now". You can simply watch the serial for the next scene and be happy or sad according to the result in the serial.This is great, isn't it?

There are so many things to learn from this movie,

1. Mega serials are not suitable for men, they start comparing to their family to the serial family.
2. Suthiyala voru family member adi vaangum bothu yaarum thadukka koodathu, no matter how big your family are ,wait, for your turn.
3. Madhavan maathiri trima , handsomea, irukanumna, 13 maadi padi aeri ponnavaey pothum, don't use elevators.
4. You can even learn about different types of hammers.
5. "Paei padam"na TV kulla irunthu kai varanumnu avasiyam illa, TVla mega serial vanthavaey pothum.....

The list goes on, apadiyae neenga enna intha padathai paarthu kathukiteengannu eluthunga. Mothathil, "Yaavarum Nalam" pretty much "Yaavarukkum Nalam".
