Abiyum Naanum movie review

28 12 2008

Expectations were pretty high , atleast from me , for the team of Radha Mohan and Prakash raj strikes together again. But I felt disappointed after watching the movie. Though the team has to be appreciated for their meaningful and decent cinema , this fails to impress me .

The main reason being the waffer thin story line about an extra cautious dad trying to grow along with his daugther and the problems faced by the dad in seeing his child grow up independently with free thought . The plot is good , there are some interesting and touching moments , but the story is superficial and fails to touch your heart as a whole.

Most importantly , the way how dad ushers love for his daughter is not subtle , indian dads are known for this , but prakash raj’s love  for his daughter is showed too loud and lousy.

The movie is interesting at places , the humour is laced through out the movie beautifully and it has come out well.Some nice worldly , humane thoughts are brought out well.

Prakashraj steals the show but i feel he has over done the role and rest of the crew has nothing great to offer.Songs are a bit let down and dampens the already slow movie’s pace even further.

The movie delivers in parts and on a whole an above average decent flick worth to be watched with family and friends.





Reflections on Dasavathaaram

22 06 2008

I was bit skeptic about this movie Dasavathaaram(D-10) since there was so much hype and hoola over it . Also it was running to packed houses at Chennai with Mayajaal screening 45 shows a day that tickets weren’t available easily.There were many heated discussions about the movie not being up to the critical acclaim  though its declared  a commercial box office hit .

So I went for the movie with out any sort of expectations . But it was a pleasant surprise for me , I liked the movie pretty much and found a few interesting things.

Kamal as an awesome script’ist’:

Kamal has confirmed his place on becoming one of the finest script writers in the county .The screen play is in the lines of the Oscar winning movies like crash and babel . To see it in a tamil movie is amazing . The screen play is not very depth made to accommodate all ten roles and stories. Kamal’s genius comes to the forte on how he is able to handle diversified subjects woven well into a single point . His class act with regarding to dealing with history , science , poetry , contemporary issues and his stake on atheism with ease deserves special mention.

The movie is a thorough entertainer. It’s not serious to the full , there are many hilarious moments sprinkled well into it that you can’t stop laughing at few scenes in the movie.The camera and back ground music is impressive . The graphics are good but in some scenes could have avoided it for it looks like an animation movie.

The initial 15 minutes of the movie are too good on any account touching international standards.The action sequences are first rate and the manner in which  each episode unveils makes the audiences glued to the seat.

Performances:

Kamal has excelled in his performances . It’s evident that not a single character was let loose simply for the sake of creating a world record with 10 avatars.Though the voice modulation couldn’t be greatly varied , he has managed to do it with his excellent body languages.

The high point of the movie is it would be accepted universally by all , it is for the front row to the multiplex audiences. There is some thing for the die hard critic to a lay man to watch out for.

I guess K.S.Ravi kumar’s role as a director is certainly a big plus for he is able to carry forward the movie with out much fuss and confusion. His part is pretty crucial in the box office success.

Verdict :

D-10 is an important mile stone in taking Tamil Cinema to the next level.Good work guys . Thumbs up :)
