Ghilli - revisit in Sathyam Cinemas


First of all, i thank the owners of Sathyam Cinemas for screening a movie like Gilli in such a prestigious multiplex.

Each and every hero has a special movie in his career. For instance, our Superstar Rajnikanth has Basha. It is a movie that can be watched 'n' number of times. Similar to that, our Ilayathalapathy Vijay has Gilli, which without any doubt, is his career best film.

The atmosphere was terrific in Sathyam Cinemas. It was a 240 seater theater(Seasons) and almost 90% of the seats were full @ morning 8 30. The movie has been played umpteen times in Television but still it is able to attract repeat audience. This itself is a great achievement for the cast and crew of Gilli.

When the Kabadi Kabadi song was played, people threw paper and even started dancing like anything. But since the theater people entered the hall, those dancing crowd were asked to be seated in their respective places. The whistles and cheers were extraordinary for each and every catchy dialog. Not only Vijay, even Trisha and Prakash Raj received lot of applause for their rocking performance.

Vijay might have danced for many folk songs, but still, Appadi Podu stands unique and exciting even now. The chemistry between Vijay and Trisha is really good.

Over all , it was like a festival season in 'seasons' for Vijay fans.

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya - Review


VTV: Very Average

Saw the movie in Bala Abhirami theater today.(Ofcourse, Houseful)

The first half of the movie was quite good. It was really nice to see Simbu playing such a simple character. No unwanted heroism, no one liners etc etc. He was quite apt for the role.

Trisha was looking really nice in the film. Her Chemistry with Simbu, especially in songs were really good. She did her role quite well, though it was not quite convincingly sketched by the director.

ARR BGM and songs were splendid. This is one of the major plus point of the film. Cinematography was also good.

Talking about the drawbacks of the film, the second half of the movie was not good. It was really slow. The twist in the climax was really shocking and it was quite unwanted. The director could've handled the second half quite well. If the second half had been on par with the first half, then it would've been a nice romantic entertainer.

Overall my rating is 2.5/5.

Can been seen once in theaters if you go and watch it without any expectations.
