Vettaikaran Audio - Review


Vettaikaran songs - Review

1. Nan Adicha Tangamata(Shankar Mahadevan)
Without any doubt , this is the introduction song of the film. Vijay Antony has exactly delivered a Mass intro song for the fans of Ilayathalapathy. The song will be a foot tapping one for Vijay fans and with Vijay's acrobatic dancing skills, this song will also be a Visual treat for the audience.
Rating : 8/10

2.Puli Urimudhu - (Ananthu , Mahesh Vinayakram)
This song will be a pulsating one for Vijay fans. The lyrics for this song has been written with the mass of Vijay in mind. Though the beat is not never heard before, it has enough ingredients to make the song a pulsating one. If choreographed well, then this song will be one of the biggest hits of the year.
Rating : 8.5/10

3.Oru Chinna Tamarai(Krish,Suchitra)
This is a fast paced melody song. Though the song sounds quite clinched , the music , lyrics and the voice of the singers along with the English rap is quite good. This song is a treat for those who love fast paced romantic songs.
Rating : 7.5/10

4.Karigalan Kalan(Suchitra, Sangeetha Rajeshwaran)
This is a typical Tamil folk song. Though its just another folk song, Vijay Antony has used some English raps even in this song. This song sounds average but will be a bigger hit once we see the visual with Vijay's dance.
Rating : 6/10

5.Oru Chinna Thamarai(Rap)
This song is just a slight different version of the original Chinna Thamarai song. Its just as good as the original song.
Rating : 7.5/10

6. Yen Uchi mandaiyella(Krishna Iyer, Shoba Chandrasekar)
This song is a fast paced one with a mixture western and Tamil folk items. The song sounds too loud but looks like it will suit the pace of the film. Again , the song sounds quite clinched like other songs in the album.
Rating : 6.5/10

Over all, the album is a decent one for Vijay fans and other people who love enjoying fast paced music. Vijay Antony has definitely lived up to his level and he has not disappointed the fans of Vijay.

OVER ALL RATING : 7.5/10

Unnai Pol Oruvan - Review


A good thriller with a message. The movie started at a slow pace but after 15 odd minutes, the thrill started. Thank god . The movie didn't have any unwanted songs in it.

The movie had very nice performances by many including the protagonist Kamal. He has once again done a good job in this film. But just a doubt. I really wonder what Sriman had to do with this film. I felt that his character was totally out of the plot and had nothing to do with the story or the screenplay of the film. Such portions could've been trimmed.

Mohanlal , Lakshmi , Ganesh and co have done a quite decent job. Ganesh totally contradicted the character which he played in Abhiyum Nanum and he justified the role of a tough cop with his style and charisma.

The BGM is neither good nor bad. Not a very bad start for Shruthi Hassan as a music director.

Over all my rating for the film is 4/5.

UPO-Watch it for its thrill

Kandasamy Review

First and foremost, i didn't have any expectation on the film as i got mixed reviews before watching the film.

Vikram's performance was good. He is the heart and soul of the film. He carries the entire burden on his shoulders and his hardwork is very much evident on the screen.

Shreya does what people expect from her , especially in such an high tech Masala film. But her exposure can't be watched with family for sure. I don't know why all so called high tech Masala films have too much of glamour and skin show in it.

Vadivel's comedy scenes were quite okay. Especially the scene where Vadivel dons the get up of Kandasamy was really nice. His comedy was not as bad as what the people said. I just saw around five comedy scenes of Vadivel in this film. So i am not sure whether his comedy scenes were trimmed or not.

The first half of the film was quite nice. Not even a single scene was boring the first half. But the moment the film traveled Mexico , the bore started . I really can't understand what they tried in that fight sequence where Vikram's eyes will be cover with a black colour material. What were they trying . Instead they could've had a normal fight sequence.

Shreya - Vikram scenes in first half were Ok. But in second half, especially after the Mexico flight scene , they were really boring. Susi Ganesan concentrated more on style in the second half but completely forgot the fact that the audience must be kept engaged and entertained in an action film.

The climax was quite decent. Though they were quite predictable, those scenes were quite Ok. The movie is a mixture of Sivaji and Anniyan. No doubt in it. But if Susi Ganesan had had a better second half , then the movie would've been a decent entertainer with style for sure.

DSP's BGM, songs and other technical aspects of the film were really nice. The camera work was quite sleek. But they have over done the usage of flash.

Ashish Vidyarthi was quite good but the other Villain(Pokkiri fame Govind) was not at all apt for the film. People started laughing like anything when he danced for the climax item number song with Mumaith Khan.

Song placements were not too bad. For commercial film, songs are bound to come in such places.

Over all, the movie is neither terrible nor terrific.

Kandasamy - Nondhum Pogai , Vendrum Pogalai

My Rating - 2.7/5

Eeram Review


I would say that it was a decent attempt from the director. He made sure that there are some portions of thrill in the film to keep the audience engaged.

The story had the concept of GHOST in it. Though GHOST is just a fictional thing in our real life(Or at least i don't believe in ghost), the director has narrated it with not many over the top stuffs.

The camera work was absolutely Superb. Technical aspects were really nice in the film. One romantic song in the first half is really hummable.

Regarding the drawbacks of the film , it was very lengthy. Some scenes could've been trimmed so that the movie is even more thrilling and engaging. At times, the director gives us a feeling of watching a horror drama in television channels due to some lengthy scenes. Those stuffs could've been handled better.

All the lead actors have done a decent job in this film. Over all , if you like to watch a decent horror film barring the lengthy narration , then go and watch the film.

My rating : 3.5/5
