Kumki Movie Review

Actor Prabhu’s Son Vikram Prabhu Debut Movie, Sundarapandian actress Lakshmi Menon Second Movie, D.Imman Cinematographer Sukumar, Thambi Ramaiah and Prabhu Solomon’s Combo after the path breaking “Mynaa” had created huge expectation for this Movie. Let us see whether it will satisfy the expectations of a COMMON MAN in this review.

The story revolves around Vikram Prabhu and his elephant that

 he considers as his brother. Kumki is the Elephant which are used to guide wild elephants back to the forest to minimize the destruction of human beings, properties and fields of nearby villages. Vikram Prabhu’s Elephant named Manickam is a very innocent one, but the situations around it makes him as Kumki.

Vikram Prabhu – Since he is “GRANDSON OF SIVAJI”, people will not consider it as his debut movie and will expect more from him. But, he had really done the role perfectly in such a way that no one can say that this is his debut movie. He has to improve and hopefuly he will do it in his future movies.

Lakshmi Menon had got more fans than any other Debutant actress of this year. She definitely deserves the phrase “The Next Door Girl”. She looks very beautiful in this movie and had lived the role. She may get awards for the best debutant of this year.

Thambi Ramaiah, National Award Winning Actor proves once again that he deserves the award. He had got more SCREEN PRESENCE in this movie and have really carried the movie on his own shoulders in the first half. He doesn't only performs the role of a Supporting actor but also takes care of the Comedy department in the movie. Almost, all his dialogues in the movie receive huge applause from the Crowd. This will be one of the best movie in his career.

Real Hero of the movie is Cinematographer Sukumar..Movie is a Visual Treat…He had worked hard on each and every frame and it looks like our desktop Wallpapers. Not only 3D or Sound Effects will bring the Audience back to theatres, but even Excellent Cinematography will bring them to the theatre.

D.Imman is having a wonderful time. His recent movies have assured his place as one of the leading Musician in Tamil Industry. Sollitalae Aval Kadhalae is the best MELODY of this year. It is also Picturized Superbly. All the songs in the movie are too good and his background music really adds more feel to the romantic scenes.

Prabhu Solomon yet again proves that he is one of the best director in our Tamil Cinema with a wonderful movie. It is not easy to take a movie with Elephant and new comers and makes the audience sit in the theatre for 150 minutes, but he had done it quite easily. Story of the movie is just one liner but the screenplay was too good to make the audience engaged in the movie with the help of wonderful locations, awesome music and extraordinary performance by Thambi Ramaiah.

Having said the positives, CLIMAX of the movie will get mixed response. The whole movie travels around with a huge buildup towards the climax and climax really falls flat with poor graphics and it ends abruptly. Graphics used in the Songs and Scenes were extremely good, that one can’t differentiate it. But, Graphics used in the Climax scene was really bad.

Overall, this movie will be liked by all classes of Audience.

This is one of the movie which had to be watched in Theaters to EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF LOVE with Wonderful locations and Awesome Music.

Rating for this Movie by Common Man will be 3.25 / 5

Neethane en ponvasantham review


NEP got released with huge expectations as it is a Romantic Film Directed by Gautham Menon who had given wonderful Romantic movies like Minnalae, VTV to our Tamil Cinema. Ilayaraja Songs were creating sensation among the youth. Few people felt that the songs sounds too old and doesn't create same magic like A.R.R.

in VTV. Santhanam one liners and Movie trailers mentioning “it could be your love story” created huge amount of curiosity among Youngsters. Check out the review to know whether the Movie will satisfy only the Youngsters or even Common Man.

Story of the Movie is nothing new. (Love u, Miss u, Hate u, Leave me, Forgive me) * 4 = NEP. In other words, it is Ilayaraja’s Musical Album with lengthy dialogues in-between which are repetitive.

Jiiva had performed brilliantly as usual and really suits the character in all the roles - school boy, teenager, a youngster and a professional. He had shown variation for each and every role with great care. It is high time that Jiiva gives importance to STORY rather than the Directors.

Samantha really looks like an Angel in most of the scenes especially while wearing Saree. This is the best movie for her till date. Her expressions speak much more than words.

Santhanam is the only saving grace in the movie. Without him, it is difficult for most of the people to watch the movie even once. He comes throughout the movie and his one liners are the major highlights of this movie.

Cinematographer M.S. Prabhu & Om Prakash was good in most of the scenes. They have tried to experiment by keeping lots of wide range shots without cuts in the movie which really irritates the people. Especially, the scene before the interval with long shot will really test the patience of the audience.

Editor Anthony should have cut more scenes in the movie. Most of the scenes were really dragging and looks repetitive. He should have cut the long shot scenes with big dialogues without giving second thought.

Music by Ilayaraja was the USP for this movie. But, the songs are misplaced in the movie and it doesn't go well with the audience. Gautham Menon who had given wonderful platform for Ilayaraja to show his talent and skills once again, let him down by placement of the songs. Ilayaraja is KING OF BACKGROUND MUSIC, but surprisingly he doesn't have much opportunity to show his talent in the movie as most of the scenes are just occupied with lengthy dialogues only.

Gautham Menon had tried to recreate the same magic which he did in VTV. But, completely fails in this one. VTV was a hit because of outstanding music by A.R. Rahman and decent screenplay. It is very hard for any director in the world to just show the love moments for two leading pairs for 154 minutes. He must have believed that Ilayaraja songs alone will save this movie and didn't even bother about the screenplay which doesn't move at all throughout the movie.

Very very slow screenplay, Repetitive Scenes, unnecessarily keeping long shots, songs misplacement will definitely impact the success of this movie

People, who don’t like the songs of this movie, give it a MISS.

It is the movie to be watched with Lover and not with friends.

For Lovers who think they are in deep love and watch the movie along with their lover, Ardent ilayaraja fans, guys who think VTV as the best Romantic movie, Rating would be – 3 / 5

Rating for this movie for a Common Man - 2.25 / 5
