Isai ----Movie Review (Tamil )

                                          Watch Isai Official Trailer Here

Isai ----> Emotional Drama genre !! 

Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction --> Simple known story ......very slow screenplay ....awesome dialogues (especially the explanation of music with beetle and human ) throughout with less double meaning .....but in the end (last 40 mins) the director SJ Suryah is back and delight us with lot of surprises and even answers for the logic part of the film ...but for that you must be PATIENT till 2 hrs and 30 hrs !! (Total runtime 3 hrs and 13 mins )

Casting and acting ----> Sathyaraj by far the best acting we could have seen from him in last decade ...not even a single scene he overdoes it ....!!

Savitri  --- Lot of scope for acting and glamour ....got C grade in acting and A +++++++++++ in glamour ;) ;)
Sathyama U/A yeppadi nu theiryala !! Don't know how will parents will guide the kids in that scenes !!

SJ Suryah --- Acting was good and the character suited him ....but I still feel any other hero had done this role ...It would be slightly different and much better ...!!

Cinematography ----> A neat affair !!

Editing ----> Editor could have tried to trim the movie easily by 30 to 40 mins ...especially the starting portion in second half and romance portions ...but don't know what he thought anyway it was director call finally !!

Music ----> BGM was average ....songs were okay ...SJ Suryah tried his best ..!!

Rating -- 3.25 / 5 !! Worth for your money ....but be patient ..!! Director SJ Suryah is back with his creative touch again !!

Baby -- Movie Review (Hindi)

Watch Baby Trailer Here

Baby ----> Action thriller genre !!

Story, Screenplay and Direction -----> A Simple Straight forward  action thriller with engaging screenplay !!

What I liked the most is -- If there is a film based on police or army , they try to insert the emotional family angle ,  unnecessary romance , Songs and comedy !!

But here apart from one minute song and one or two scenes about the family of the protagonist, Director Neeraj Pandey was right on money on what he wants to tell the audience !!

Casting and Acting ----> Akshay Kumar was at his terrific best !!
Anupam Kher-- whatta actor :) :)
Rana Daggubati not much big role in the film....!!
Taapsee good small impactful role !!
Kay Kay Menon ----> Scope is very limited !!
 

BGM, Cinematography and Editing -----> BGM was very average ...!!

Cinematography was neat and Editing Surely could have trimmed especially during the last part of the movie !!

Rating ----> 3.5/5 !! Worth a watch for any film lovers!! A solid family entertainer without any commercial compromise !!

 A Wednesday, Special 26 and Now Baby !! Maybe not his best (when compared to the other two) ...but still Director Neeraj Pandey strikes !!

Birdman -- Movie review (Hollywood)

                     

                                                        Watch Birdman Official Trailer

Birdman -----> Realistic Dark comedy Genre !!

Story, Screenplay and Direction -----> Very difficult to analyse the Creativity of the director ....Just with one building and within that telling us a story is vera level....Screenplay is like layered pattern....a main story with so many small small subplots into it ...!!

After watching the film, it looks simple but if you analyse or think deep about the script later.... there will lot of messages about the realistic and simple side of life :)

Watch out for the climax ;) and explain to me if you understand !!

Cinematography ----> Creatively Brilliant ....!!certain shots, camera angles and movement  was such a pleasant to watch :) 

Editing ----> Perfect....not a even a single unwanted scene and the flow of the film i just loved it !!

Music ----> Most of the places silent ....and remaining places it was pleasant !!

Rating - 4/5 !! Must watch if you are a pure realistic cinema lover !!

What is the original story and Screenplay ?? Watch Birdman you will be knowing it :)

Pongal Winner --- Ai or Aambala or Darling ???

AI :

Biggest Plus :

Vikram and the film's technical brilliance, Songs and BGM !!

Big Letdown :

Director Shankar 

End Result :

Even though the execution of the script was poor, due to Vikram, film still in average league !!

I ---> Its a Vikram movie ...Shankar movie illa !!

AAMBALA :

Biggest plus :

Vishal, Sathish, Songs and BGM

Aambala --- Movie Review ( Tamil )

Aambala ---->  Sundar C Genre !!

Story, Screenplay , Dialogue and Direction -----> Avasara Avasarama 15 to 20 films la irrunthu oru oru scene ah edutha oru full feature film patha mathiri oru feel !!!

Casting and Acting -----> Vishal as usual he did his job well as a actor.... !!

Hansika ku ellam periya scope onnum illa ...full glamour than... not only her even her mom , chithi (Kiran  ), Kelavi (Tina), her cousins ellam glamour ucha kattam !!

Santhanam ----> Big Disappointment ...!! romba mokka !!

Sathish and Vaibhav -----> Sathish was good in whatever opportunities he got ...Vaibhav as usual oru side character !!

Fight choreography ---> pathetic or in tamil...vendam (no bad words)!!

Cinematography and editing ----> Average ...!! Discuss pannura aalavukku onnum illa !!

Music and BGM ----> HipHop Tamizha good debut with songs and BGM....but waiting to hear his melodies...because all songs are good but romba monotonous or orae mathiri irrukura feel irruku !!

Darling -- Movie Review (Tamil)

Watch Darling official Trailer here

Darling ----> Romantic horror genre !!

Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction ----> Cliched story.....straight screenplay but characters in the script makes its good film !!

Acting ----> GV Prakash Kumar escapes with this script because his character doesn't need to show any emotions and all but i feel he need to improve a lot if he wants to become a full fledged actor...Director tried very few close up scenes when compared to others ....GV managed but still you get the feeling he is acting ...antha natural feel varala...hope in future movies antha natural feel varum nu!!

Nikki Galrani ----> Wonderful debut from her....Tough role in debut film but she acted and carried out very well...even the lip sync was perfect....she might have bright future because of her natural acting !! :)

Karunas and Balasaravanan -----> Nucleus of the film....especially Karunas...Whatta a seasoned performer he is ....!! Surely a great comeback film for him...!! :)

Good cameo from Rajendran ....very short role but effective one :)

Cinematography ----> Not astonishing... A Decent one  ... !!

Editing ----> could have surely reduced 2 songs ...it would have been even more crisper !!

Music and BGM ----> Songs were nice but for the film it was not necessary....BGM was good !!

Rating ----> 3.25/5 !! A good commercial timepass movie ...jolly ah poi pakkalam once without any doubt !!

I -- Movie Review (Tamil)

Watch I Official Trailer Here

I ---->  Romantic thriller genre !!

First of all, I can't degrade the film just because of one man VIKRAM :) :) It would have ended like Anjaan but he carried the entire film on his shoulders and tried to save it :) :)

Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction -----> Shocked to digest that it was Shankar's film....Dialogue at most places were flat or not inspiring ( yeah Sujatha was missed and you could feel it ) !!

Characterisation ----> Lingaesan okay...remaining characters ellam..??? Villians ellam sema comedy...onnum sollura mathiri illa...Anjaan mathiri oru suspense vera ithula !!

Vikram -----> Was feeling very sad for him....He just gave everything he had ....but the execution of the script was a big let down...The transformation from Bodybuilder to Model and then to Hunchback ellam were perfect ....!!

Just that one scene of imitation of Kamal (telephone mani pol song from Indian)  is enough to showcase whatta great actor he is :) :)

Be the body Language, dialogue delivery or his comic sense, he was completely in different level :) Hats off !!

Amy Jackson ----> It maybe exaggerated but i felt she was apt as model and her expression were impressive considered that she is a Foreigner !! Whatta Beauty ...First half ellam ...vendam censored !! ;) ;)

Santhanam ---> First half his comedy was good and with his timings too !! But in second half in the climax and all mokka !!

Cinematography ----> P C Sreeram was back with his wonderful visuals and the camera angles ...:) :) But sincerely i have seen better than what i have seen in I !!

Art Direction, CG and Make up -----> Mersalliyatan and Alia alia is good example of good art work ....Make up and CG ellam hollywood style ...kora sollura mathiri onnum illa ..:) :)

Music and BGM ----> As usual ARR was assault ...both in BGM and Songs .... Songs Picturisation and all -- Shankar padam mathiri irrunthuchu !! :)

Rating --- 2.75/5 !! Kandippa parunga for Vikram performance :) 

Just for Vikram such a high rating ....illati it would be in the 1 to 1.5 range !! Brilliant performance from Vikram, Songs and technical Brilliance was letdown by poor execution of the script !! 

P.S --- And also good reminder that yennathum visuals and performance brilliant ah irrrunthavum, director sodhapuna padam side pooiyurum nu !!

The Theory Of Everything ----> Movie Review ( English)

                                            Watch The Theory of Everything Trailer here

The Theory of Everything ----> Emotional Love Genre !!!

Story, Screenplay and Direction -----> Brilliantly made film which mainly highlights the relationship between Dr. Stephan Hawking and his wife Jane mixed with his personal achievements made in Physics ( Surprisingly which is very less) !!

Since they promoted its a biography of Dr. Stephan Hawking, I had a fear which may make me topsy turvy like Interstellar ;) 

Luckily they made a film which everybody can understand and given more importance to love, positivity and life :) ( Its an adaption of the book written by Jane Wilde Hawking - Travelling to Infinity – My Life with Stephen..... but still ... )

Acting ---> Eddie Redmayne ( The protagonist, Who acted as Dr. Stephan Hawking ) was top notch !! Easily lot of actor can overdo it and make it artificial ...but here he just lived like that character :) Kudos !!

Felicity Jones ( who acted as Jane Wilde Hawking, wife of Dr. Stephan Hawking) was natural and underplayed the character very well...and her emotions were biggest plus !!

The chemistry and the emotions between them ( Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones) took the film to different level :)

Art and Cinematography ----> Hollywood hollywood than !!1960s ad 1970s were brought alive :) 

Leave the visuals .....There are some films in which the cinematography speaks with us and make us think...This film comes under that category ...easily the best I have seen for a long time  !! :)

Ex : Brilliant explanation of blackhole with a mixing of coffee and milk creamer ...like this lot of scenes are there :)

Rating --- 4/5 !! Must watch if you are realistic film lover :) 

Love, Take on life , Emotions, Practicality and positivity in life and the truth of life were showcased brilliantly :) + the acting + Cinematographer  = The Theory of Must Watch :)
