Nallathor Veenai Short film - 100000 Hits ...

My first tamil short film Nallathor Vennai has crossed one lac hits in you tube within one year . I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who behind this success . Pls watch the movie and drop your comments ...

PIZZA - PERFECT DISH ...

Normally i like thriller movies much and previous short films of Karthick Subbaraj created a hype too on his debut feature film " PIZZA " . It is little compliment if i say he had never disappointed but he did far beyond from that .

Micheal ( Vijay Sethupathy ) and Anu ( Ramya nambeesan ) are lovers since childhood days and staying together in Micheal's friend's guest house . Micheal is a pizza delivery guy and Anu wants to become a crime novelist . Anu believes in devil and insists Micheal will face them one day . What happened to Micheal once the dangerous day comes is depicted by Karthik with hot and fresh screenplay . 

PIZZA is the lifetime opportunity for Vijay sethupathy and he crapped it well with both the hands . The entire film is riding on his acting skills . Ramya nambeesan as anu is the perfect match . Obviously she is not as fresh as she was in " Kullanari koottam " . She looks abnormal as her character in the movie . Supporting actors Naren , Pooja and others have done a fabulous job . Gopi amranath's photography is world class . He gives that thrill mood  in the entire movie with his lighting , He never fails  in romantic part too . Editing and Music gives the adequate support . 

We have to thank the director for not only choosing a thriller genre in his first film and also not chosen the regular way of story telling . He avoids Violence , Glamour and unwanted gimmicks which normally takes part in the thriller movies . He makes audience to guess and fail very often . Strength of the movie is to make everyone to expect the unexpected things . To the downside they miss the logic in certain areas and first few minutes after the start of the movie is bit slow . We can forget these negatives as long as it engages us till the end with unexpected twist in the climax . Pizza is very hot and tasty even though we may feel it would have been delivered even faster . 

Score Card : 46 

BILLA 2 - DON FOR FAN ...

Ajith is such a actor who can hold the big opening irrespective of his previous film's result ... Now the expectation are even more high as his BILLA 2 is releasing after blockbuster of 2011 '' MANKATHA " and    BILLA 2 is a first prequel of indian cinema ...

BILLA 2 is nothing but a story of an ordinary refuge who turns as a king of the underworld ... Movie depicts David billa's journey from refuge to smuggler and smuggler to kingpin ... During the progress he kills local smuggler Abbasi ( PANDEY ) and International gangster Dimotti ( VIDYUTH ) ... Billa is having two love interests but none of them makes a mark even though roaming with sexy  cloths ....

Ajith is a ultimate man for these kind of stylish don movie ... He dominates the screen from frame by frame till the end but at the same time too much of killing is boring over point of time ... it would have been even worth to watch him if he had reduced his weight at least for flashback scenes ...

Movie is technically very sound...Especially cinematography and editing and background music are world class...Making wise movie is very stylish and sharp ... Director has chosen a different way of narration Instead of making normal masala movie ...We have to thank director CHAKRI for this ...


To a downside first half is resembling a evergreen movie ' NAYAGAN " and movie is running very flat without much twists in the screenplay ... Too much of violence justifies A certificate ... Mass hero does not have any major threats from the villains and heroins are never making any impact ... BILLA 2 is surely can not match with his earlier movie '  Mankatha  " but it will not make you dull while watching ... Finally BILLA 2 is a DON FOR FAN ...

SAGUNI - SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY STOPS ...

Karthi's successful journey now stops at saguni . If karthi thinks all his movie irrespective of story line will get success , sorry he has to rethink . A movie which was released a week back with  more than thousand screens is below par at all fronts .

Story itself is a weak plot and nothing new to tamil cinema . Kamalakannan alias Kamal ( Karthi ) comes to Chennai to stop demolishing his big house ( Palace ) for constructing sub way . He has given his petition to railway minister then met chief minister . Later on he took tamilnadu's politics on his hands once chief minister bhoopathy ( Prakashraj ) refuses his proposal . During this course he made local money lender achi (Radhika) to a mayor , local god man ( Nasser ) to a international star , opposite party president perumal  (Kotta Srinivasarao ) to a chief minister . even you can not enjoy these scenes after removing your brain . well that's a story of Saguni .

Karthi has all elements to be a mass hero . He has tried some good dancing movements in this film . His chemistry with comedian Santhanam works out to certain extent but calling each other as rajni and kamal is boring over point of time . Casting a heroine itself is not required to these kind of movies and booked a Pranitha as a heroine is blender . Senior artists Nasser , Radhika , Prakashraj , Roja are all did well on their part .  first half is any how ok with the help of santhanam .

Except ' Manasellam " other songs are not up to the mark . Movie is a mixture of films like Ko, Mai , Makkal atchi apart from taken a story line of Dhool . Debut director Sankar dayal missed a great opportunity even after convinced a successful actor Karthi to act as a lead in this week story . He could have made a difference with the tight and speedy screenplay .

Saguni is not a cup of tea for them who sees logic in the movies at the same time ITS NOT FIT FOR THE BILL for the people who seeks only entertainment in the movies . One good thing from the saguni is karthi may be  more cautious while choosing a film here in after .

ORU KAL ORU KANNADI FILM REVIEW - OK ...

        

Two kind of creators in cinema ... One set of people wants to do or experiment new things on every film where as other set of creators will only do what they are capable of ... Without say director rajesh coming under second category and did justice to that by giving through out comedy entertainer ...

Nothing is there to say about story ... Saravanan ( Uthayanithi  Stalin ) is working with Sathyam cinemas and roaming like a son of sathyam cinema's owner along with his friend Partha ( Santhanam ) ... One day he met Meera ( Hansikha ) at traffic signal and fell in love at first sight as usual ... He never changed his mind even though Meera is a daughter of Deputy commissioner of Police ( Shiaji shinde ) ... What else will happen next except couple are joining together in the climax ...

                                     

Uthayanithi impress the audience slowly and close up scenes reveals that he is new to acting ... He needs to watch his dancing even though scores on certain scenes with his casual acting ... Hansika is big on the screen but the same cannot be said for her acting ... Santhanam is a real hero as he is carrying the entire film on his shoulder with his style of counter dialogues and mannerisms ... 

                                      

Saranya once again proven why she was given national award ... The plot between saranya and azhagam perumal is nice ... Hariis jayaraj's music already leading the chats , particularly " Venam machan " is a foot stepping number ....

We can enjoy the entire film even though scenes without santhanam are lagging ... Director has dealt with the same story of his previous films ... Rajesh can give films like Kathalikka neramillai , Ullatthai alli tha if he makes a comedy film with strong story line instead of just creating comedy scenes and inserting a story ... Let us see in his next film ...

Nallathor Veenai - My Tamil short film ...

I had been seriously thinking to direct one short film for the past few years but was not to do that due to other commitments ... In fact i had a story to shoot during the launch of " NALAIYA IYAKKUNAR " Program at Kalaignar Tv , that also never happened ...


Life was just moving around cine reviews till my friend Moondram konam shahi suggested me to review short film for tamil web magazine ' Moonramkonam " ... My intensity had increased after watching few short films for review purpose ...

Thanks to god as i was able to finish my venture within two days even though other works and time duration disturbed me lot ... I take this post to thank my leading artist Seshan , cinematographer Anandh chaari , Editor Karthick and music director Udhay apart from each and every one who worked on this short film with me ...
