Alexpandian Movie Review

Alexpandian Movie Review by Common Man:

This REVIEW is Sponsored by kollywoodcinema365.blogspot.in/

Alexpandian – Though Saguni was declared as HIT and one of the TOP 10 Movies of 2012 in a leading Tamil Channel, it was a DISASTER for almost everyone including Karthi’s fans. Here comes Alexpandian with same kind of excessive promotion. Trailer looked as though it was made only for TELUGU AUDIENCE with COMEDY and too much of PUNCH DIALOGUES & ACTION SEQUENCES. Karthi fans claimed that even SIRUTHAI was like that and it was well received by our TAMIL AUDIENCE. It may happen once, but will it happen consecutively? Let us see whether ALEXPANDIAN will SATISFY the COMMON Man like Siruthai did in this review.

Story of the Movie: First Half Santhanam Comedy and Second half – Manobala Comedy, Climax – MINDLESS Action with lots of Punch Dialogues and double meaning COMEDY scenes in-between. Suraj didn’t bother about the story and have tried the same old formula even after two consecutive flop movies - Padikathavan and Maapillai. Suraj had believed that COMEDY SCENES and DIALOGUES will make this movie a HIT.

Movie starts and ends with big fight scenes. In between comedy, comedy & unlimited comedy which is not excellent but average. Almost all the scenes in the movie including dialogues are similar to various comedy movies.

Karthi – Most of the COMMON PEOPLE like him for his INNOCENT LOOK AND MISCHIEVOUS SMILE. It is too early for him to have PUNCH DIALOUGES similar to the BIGGEST STARS in Tamil Cinema. Karthi build up during the intro scene was too much. Flying in the air like a bird will definitely not fit him and hopefully he learns at least now. If not, he will also be one of the hero who will be hated by Audience and they will ignore his movies. He has got good talent. He has improved a lot in his dance movements. His Comedy timing with Santhanam and Manobala are major HIGHLIGHT of this movie.

Santhanam plays the key role in this movie. First Half of the movie travels only on his shoulders and he had managed to make the AUDIENCE smile yet again. Rekhs was subtitling for Tamil Movies which had to be sent for NATIONAL AWARD. She informed that it took additional 2 hours for her to subtitle movie in which Sanathanam plays the key role (ALEXPANDIAN & KLTA). His Comedy is well received not only among the youth or any particular Center. His comedy is well received in A, B & C and that’s the reason for huge opening for his movies in which he plays key roles. His only COMPETITOR as of now will be POWERSTAR after KLTA.

Nikhita, Sanusha occupies the First half of the movie. Anushka just comes for 10 minutes in the first half and doesn’t speak a word. Don’t worry Anushka Fans.She comes in Very Glamorous Outfits in the second half.

Cinematography by Saravanan was too good in the fight sequences.

Editing by Praveen & Srikanth was good but it would have been better if they have edited much more scenes in the second half as it really looks very much dragging.

Music director for this movie is Devisriprasad. Songs were almost similar to his earlier movies. Bad Boy song was quite good compared to other songs and it comes only during the end credits. Background music during action sequences was good.

Director of this Movie is Suraj. Thalai Nagaram was the BEST MOVIE in his Career till date. He doesn’t think differently and uses the same COMMERCIAL MASALA formula in all his movies. He succeeded with the same in Marudhamalai but failed completely with Padikathavan and Maapillai. Even then, he had the guts to use the same formula for a movie which is the BIGGEST BUDGET in his career with Karthi and have managed to make it little engaging to some extent. Santhanam carries the movie on his own shoulders and have saved the first half. Manobala comedy in the second half was too good but as expected movie falls flat in the climax with mindless action scenes.

Overall, the movie is not as GOOD as SIRUTHAI and not as BAD as SAGUNI.

One line: Movie Mokkai ila, OK than.

Rating for this movie by Common Man: 2.5 / 5.
For People who give importance to COMEDY and doesn’t bother about anything else – 3 / 5.
For First Review on Internet.

Kumki Movie Review kollywood cinema 365

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

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 

Poda Podi Movie Review

Poda Podi Movie Review

Poda Podi is a Romantic Musical Movie. Film was started in 2008, but due to various issues, it got delayed and was released today.

Story: There are only 4 Characters in the Movie - Simbu, Varalaxmi, VTV Ganesh and yesterday actress Shobana. 90% of the scenes are between Simbu and Varalaxmi only. It is about their love, ego, breakups, reunion, marriage, kid, breakup, reunion and kid again. Does it sounds like Engeyum Kadhal? Yup, the first half was quite similar to Engeyum Kadhal and it look liked Part 2.

Varalaxmi is a very very modern girl who lives in London and follow London's culture. Her ambition is to win Dance Competition as she is a very good Salsa dancer. Simbu, on the other hand, though he lives in London, respects our tamil culture and wants Varalaxmi to follow our culture. Fight starts because of this difference in opinion and it goes on and on testing our patience.

Simbu had done the role with ease as he used to play this kind of role quite often. Movie starts with the song "Love Pannalama" and ends with "I am a Kuthu Dancer". Simbu had danced well in both the songs and those two songs are the highlights of this movie. Simbu had really acted well and tried to carry the movie on his own shoulders.

Varalaxmi is daughter of Actor Sarath kumar. She dances well and comes in glamorous costumes. She looks fat in most of the scenes. Did I mention "most of the scenes"? Yes, both Simbu and Varalaxmi's 
weight differs in the movie as the shooting went on for nearly 3 years. 

VTV Ganesh is the only comedian in the movie. Santhanam and Premji comes for 3 - 4 seconds in "Love Pannalama" Song. VTV Ganesh had tried his best to bring laughter, but it works only occasionally. 

Music is by Dharan who had an excellent debut with Bhagyaraj's Parijatham. He is really talented and didn't get much opportunities. All the songs in the movie will be liked by Youngsters. Love Pannalama and I am a Kuthu Dancer are the best songs in the movie

Director Vignesh, it is debut movie for him. He took a short film based on the same story and made into feature film with the help of Gemini Films and Simbu. He had tried his level best to give a FEEL GOOD Movie to Tamil Audience. But due to very average story and below average screenplay, he couldn't succeed in it.

Rating for this Movie by Common Man will be 2.4 / 5

Poda Podi -- STRICTLY FOR YOUNGSTERS WHO WORSHIP DANCE

Thuppaki movie review

Thuppaki movie will be one of the best movies in Vijay career - Murugadoss

Thanks to Vijay Tv for showing Thuppaki Trailer. You saved me Rs.200 -- Anti-vijay fans

Which is the truth? Lets see the review as a Common Man.

Story: Vijay is an Army man who comes to his native Mumbai for his vacation. Bomb blasts happen in Mumbai. What Vijay does forms the story of the movie. Story may look simple but screenplay of the movie was handled intelligently. Movie runs for 2 hours and 45 minutes and you will never get bored mostly.

Vijay's Intro Song was "Kutti Puli Kootam"..Though the song was average, Vijay's extraordinary dance moments adds great value to the song.

Vijay looks very Stylish in the movie. He is really BACK with a good movie. He has acted really well. He had underplayed a lot in this movie when compared to his recent movies and that is really great for him. Shankar said that People who doesn't like Vijay also will start liking him after Nanban. I am quite sure that few Vijay fans who changed after his consecutive movies with similar stories will start loving him yet again.

Scenes between Vijay and Kajal are the major highlights of the movie. There is lots of comedy scenes between them and it was really too good. Kajal really looks very beautiful in the movie and had done a wonderful job.

Vidyut is the Villain in this movie. His first movie was Billa 2. His initial scenes resembled Johny in 7 am arivu. He had done a fantabulous job and thereby makes the movie much more interesting as the full movie revolves around him and Vijay only.

Sathyan is the Comedian in the movie. But, Jayaram easily wins the crowd's heart as a Comedian. Each and every scene he comes, there was huge roar in the theater

Fight Scenes in the movie had really come out very well and it is very much believable.

Kutti Puli Kootam: Even Vijay fans were teasing him when 7 am Arivu got released as Velayutham released along with that movie. Vijay fans will be PRAISING him like anything after watching this movie and he truly deserves the credit. What a SCREENPLAY...He has believed in INTELLIGENCE much more than GUN. Instead of Vijay shooting the enemies with Gun, he plans everything cleverly and wins against them.

Music by Harris Jayaraj was very average. But, surprisingly back ground music of this movie was much better than his recent movies. Google Google song was the highlight of the movie and people who watch the movies in first 3 days will not be able to hear the song for sure. Poi Varava was nice melody and it had been placed at right place. Vennilavae Song picturization was good but it was misplaced in the movie.

Santosh Sivan is the 1st cameraman in Asia to get into the elite club of American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) membership. Each and every Indian should be proud of him. What else can I say about him. He has rocked in Cinematography.

Overall ,it is definitely the biggest DIWALI TREAT for Vijay Fans. They will get much more than what they expected from this movie. Vijay fans will watch this movie atleast thrice.

For Common Man, due to wonderful screenplay and Vijay's stylish acting, they will like it.

Rating for this movie as Common Man - 3.5 / 5

As hardcore Vijay fan - 4.5 / 5
