PUTHIYA MUGHAM
Theatre : TVM Sree Padmanabha
Status : Around 50 persons in first class
Showtime : 2.30pm
A movie which was released on the label like it'll be similar to mass masala entertainers in Tamil/Telugu Cinema, but sad to say except in introducing action sequences and placing song sequences, it is no where near the other south Indian language movies.
Story of the movie is a half baked one for a mass entertainer. Krishnakumar/Kichu from Palakkad goes to college in Kochi to do his B.Tech. There he impresses everyone with his musical skills which helps him to get a lot of friends including Priyamani. Bala who is the tyounger brother of Saikumar and Shammi Thilakan, the land mafia criminals there. He's in love with Priyamani. Because of pressure from parents, Priyamani agrees to marry Bala after her studies. But certain incidents made Bala think that Prithviraj & Priyamani are in love which forces him to react to Prithvi. As a result of that Prithvi gets hospitalised because of the mental shock that happened in the childhood haunted again. Again he comes back to college and this time Prithvi with high voltage reacts as predictable. The second half only shows how Prithvi manages to win over the three brothers in three action sequences.
Prithvi was good as Kichu in Palakkad episodes(except the first scene mrudangam look). He was good in acting while his hand was shaking when tries to play mrudangam when he comes back from hospital. He looks perfect as mentally challenged boy in the wheel chair in the hospital episode. But from pre interval episode, the actor in Prithvi comes only in two sequences when Meera was taken back to her home from Jagadeesh's house. As a hero, Prithvi was good in doing action sequences. Meera Nandan & Priyamani has nothing to do. Bala got a powerful character and was good though lip sync problem was there in sequences. Saikumar & Shammi Thilakan has got usual roles and in this movie, they are wasted with limited scenes and not so powerful chaaracters. Jagathy, Jaffer Idukky, Nedumudi Venu, Kalashaala Babu, Anil Murali, Jagadeesh, Sona Nair, Vijayaraghavan all are wasted with insignificant roles. Undapakru(Ajayan) was notable in limited scenes, especially intro. Sudheesh was good with his oneliners. Necomer Venky was ok only.
Among technical side, the real winner is action director Anal Arasu. The action choreography is neatly done but badly directed. Every action sequence is repeated 5-6 times in each action episode which makes the viewers boring & irritating. This happens in all episodes. Especially in the final action sequences, the goons were simply moving left and right which became a pure comic scene. Also when Priyamani moves to next floor in constructon site, I don't know why director didn't ask people working there in the frame to move away from the frame. I still don't know why Saikumar didn't fight when Prithvi was fighting with goons with him. Also in the police station episode Vijayaraghavan was simply standing when Prithvi was beating other policemen. Keralapolicente kayyil oru gun polumille??? atleat to threaten him. BGM was ok only. The intro bgm of Undapakru was later used for action sequences. Diphan was able to make the movie engaging. Deepak Dev's song "Picha Vecha.." was the main calling card of the movie.
People who watch only Malayalam movies or movies once in a while will like this one as the action sequences in the movie will appear great or stylish to them because of the visual treatment given. But for others it'll be another mass masala which lacks a proper script to make it an edge-to-seat thriller which is the key component in Tamil/Telugu movies in addition to visual treatment.
Premam moolam Priyamani moolam Prithvirajnum Balakkum Kalaham OREvidham Puthiyamughathil sulabham.

KANTHASAMY : BELOW AVERAGE
KANTHASAMY
Theatre : TVM Anjali
Status : 98%
Showtime : 6.30pm(Film started at 6.00)
Finally I decided to watch the much hyped movie after a series of release date shifting and lots of negative reviews from audience and positive reviews from medias like SIFY, INDIAGLITZ.....
CBI officer Kanthasamy wants to reduce the difference between the rich and the poor, a la Sivaji approach. So he distributes the black money ceased from rich ones to the needy who writes their needs in a paper placed in the temple tree. For this, he himself become a superhero with the help of his team. A CBI officer played by Prabhu is investigating the case of Kanthasamy which he believes is a fake one. When Vikram ceases money from Aashish Vidhyarthi, he acts as if his half of his body is dead. His daughter Shreya wants to take revenge on Vikram. After a series of incidents, they comes to know that Vikram is the superhero. Aashish Vidyarthi makes a 50-50 deal for the amount he ceases in future. Vikram & Shreya goes to Mexico to get money from a don Pichumani. How he handles the case there and the villain played by Mukesh Tiwari is the rest of the movie. In between unwanted bad comedy sequences from Vadivelu.
The opening scene of Vikram with Mansoor Ali Khan itself is a big failure in which the superhero mannerisms are repeated. Shreya is just for glamour and is a big minus in the movie as the character is unwanted. CBI head played by Krishna(father of Mahesh Babu) is good. Prabhu repeats his Billa role. Mukesh Tiwari was not upto the mark while Aashish Vidyarthi was OK. The Mexican villain Alex was a failure. Overall the film is a Vikram show but his role as a woman and all were good in make-up, but the screenplay for which the characters are introduced made those bore and irritating. I saw the trimmed version of the movie where except two scenes all other Vadivelu scenes were removed. Those scenes too were irritating. As IB officer, director Susi Ganesan as actor also is a failure.
All the song sequences of the movie are misplaced and the songs repeated some old Tamil songs' tunes. Dialogues were not good except the Vikram-Shreya first scene and later Poda-Podi ones. Other dialogues like Alex telling Vikram in Mexico like "Mexicovile Pichumaniye theriyaatha aale illai" were pure comic ones. Colour grading only helps to get headache especially the brown tone in Mexicon episode. Screenplay was not there in the whole movie other than a show of luxury in every scene.
On the whole watch the movie in a DVD if you have no other DVDs with you then.
Producers spent 40crores for the movie. Among that 1.25crores were for Shreyas dress alone. But ellaam keeriyathaayirunnu. Keeratha orennam first Vikram-Shreya scenil aval thanne keeri kalayukayum cheyyyunnu. Dressinodu ithrayum allergy ulla mattoru nadi Tamil cinemayil vere undo ennariyilla.

DADDY COOL : Good Entertainer
DADDY COOL : GOOD ENTERTAINER
First of all I would like to thank all who had written negative reviews for this movie all over internet blogs,websites,forums...
Theater : Mini Rakki(Ambattur Rakki Complex)
Showtime : 6.30 pm
Theater Status : 30%
Theater Respone : Many were saying like a good entertainer in recent times. They were saying like the first half was far better than the slapstick ones in 2HHN
Story
Crime Branch CI Antony Simon(Mammootty) is a lazy officer. He is more interested to spent his time with his son Aadi(Dhananjay). Richa plays Antony's wife's character. The first half revolves around the attempt to arrest Bheem Bhai(Aashish Vidhyarthi) because of Antony's irresponsibility and a suspension following that leading to some minor family problems and how Antony gets back his job by saving cricketer Srikanth(Govind Padmasurya). In the second half, Antony arrests Bheem Bhai. Antony was forced to shoot a person because of Aadi & later Aadi's kidnap & how Antony rescues his son is the rest of the story.
Performances
Atlast Mammootty got a tailor-made character in which not the actor Mammootty, but the character Antony Simon makes us laugh through the situations in the story. Mammootty was excellent in the role. Dhananjay needs special mention because after some two decades I had seen a child actor on screen without heavy dialogues for his age and overacting. BijuMenon was good in his role. Richa was good but the problem is the dubbing artist in her first scenes. Later it was OK. Adv. Baburaj also needs a special mention. His character as a crime branch officer mainly interested in watching adult content in his mobile was played well throughout the movie. Especially his reactions after watching TV show of Antony was superb.Suraj did his part well. Also Richa's & Radhika's father played by Sreekumar did a good job. Though only limited scope for Govind Padmasurya as cricketer Srikanth, he did his part well. Many actors like Aashish Vidyarthi, Daniel Balaji, Radhika, Saikumar, Vijayaraghavan, Anoop Chandran, Vinayakan.... were wasted in the movie with not much developed characters.
Songs
Picturisation of all songs were good. Among songs, "Daddy My Daddy" & "Kadhayoraavarthanam" was good. "Samba Salsa" was not up to the mark, the final song too.
Ofcourse movie has got negatives too. The first half does not have much twists or incidents. But it was made entertaining by the director. Second half failed at the point Antony shoots the unknown person. There should be some valid twists for that. If climax was done with twists something like Daniel's team vs Aashish's team, then it would have been much more entertaining. The TV show scene was a good attempt but the length of the dialogues could have been trimmed. Also during the climax fight, I think the bgm was from the child's point of view showing atlast I saw my father as a real hero. But the way it is taken is like an action movie makes the music unsuitable. Balaji's close up shots in his eccentric mood repeated was boring.There were some technical flaws too in the climax.
Despite these negatives, what makes the movie entertaining is Aashiq Abu, who was able to make the audience engaged in the world of Antony & Aadi with his stylish new takings. I find Aashiq Abu as the very first debut in atleast last one decade who was able to bring a new movie watching experience. Dialogues were good. Camera Work was excellent, especially when Daniel Balaji walking from the sea with a wireless & gun on the shore was superb. Art direction was stylish & good. BGM Score during emotional scenes with slow music of "Daddy My Daddy" was good. BGM in Mammootty-Richa-Dhananjay combo scene was good. Also an impressive title cards animated by Rajeev Gopal
GO FOR IT if u people are looking for a new movie watching experience in Malayalam Cinema.
Don't know about the box office verdict of the movie as many good movies bombed at kerala box office before. If this one was made in Tamil, many will question like why can't we make such a different style movie in Malayalam. Muttathe mullakku appozhum ippozhum eppozhum manamilla ennu parayaruthennu abhyarthikkunnu.

NADODIGAL : GOOD MOVIE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~~~~NADODIGAL~~~~~GOOD MOVIE
Theatre : Shanthi
Showtime : 11.30am
Status : Housefull
Story: 3 suhruthukkal, Sasikumar, Bharani & Vijay. Sasikumar as Karunakaran is a B.A.History gold medalist in search of a government job as it is the necessary condition of his ammaavan to marry his murappennu. Bharani has a stepmother. So his father shouts at him in her presence and loves him other times. Vijay is working in a computer institute and is trying to get a loan to start own institute. His father, an ex-serviceman is a friend to him. His father only give him ideas to tell his love to Sasikumar's sister. Though Sasikumar know this, ariyaatha mattil irikkum. 3 perum happyayi kazhiyunnu. Then comes a friend of Sasikumar. He tries to commit suicide. When he tells his problem that his mother, an ex-MLA is planning to arrange his marriage with another and not with his lady-love, a powerful business man in Namakkal area. Friends are going there and unites both. In that mission, Sasikumar got injured in his eye, Bharani loses his hearing ability & Vijay loses his right leg. After that a series of events happens in their life and then too they were happy as they had united the lovebirds. Then they come to know that the couples are splitted and are going to marry somebody else. This makes them angry and they plans to kill them.
Performances
Except the kaamukan friend of Sasikumar, everyone in the movie was perfect. There is a character in the movie who helps them at Namakkal and in the climax who doesn't have a single dialogue, he also scores.
Songs
Music by Sundar.C.Babu is good. "Shambo Shiva Shambo" is the pick of the lot because it's the song which shows how friends unites lovebirds and the climax sequence.
Technical
Cinematography is superb and Editing was crisp.
Direction by Samuthirakkani was top class and the screenplay is fast and entertaing. Everyone watching the movie will get involve to the scene. Bharanide cheviyil adi kollumbol sherikkum prekshakar njettunnundu.
The film's biggest plus point is DIALOGUES which are excellent. The dialogues which mentions about friendship and love are too good and "to the point" dialogues. Friends kamithakkale onnippikkunnathu pala filmslum kandittundu. Pakshe onnippicha shesham how's their life, how friends' lives are affected enna angle-il kandathaanu padathinte puthuma
Nothing more to say, GO FOR IT.
Vaalkashanam : As a movie, this one is good. But olichottam, athippol friendsnte sahayathode aayaalum allelum anukoolikkan pattumo??? Enthayaalum ee padam kandukkazhinjaal friendsnte adukkal help chodichal avar theerchayaayum chodikkum, dey kurachu kazhinju adichu piriyumo njangal veruthe risk edukkano ennu!!!!!!!!!

Performance
-----------
Jai as Anand is good. Ithil heroism onnum illa. Gundakale adikkuka parakkuka nothing like that, infact climaxil ettavum adi vaangunnathum Jai aanu. Santhanam simply rocks. Naayika Priya Anand is Ok. Lakshmi Rai just for glamour, sherikkum dressnte karyathil pichakkaari. Urvashi is good in her comic role. Thalaivasal Vijay & Rahman is OK only. But Sampath is wasted.
Songs
-----
Yuvan Shankar Raja's BGM is good at certain places. Among Songs "Etho seykiraar" is the pick of the lot. Oh Devathaye is also good. Picturisation of these two is also good. Lucky Boy & Money Money is not upto the mark. Picturisation makes us remember some previous Hindi/Tamil movies.
Movie has an entertaining first half but karyamaayittu kadhayil vazhithirivukalilla. Second halfil oru nalla thriller aakkan directorkku kazhinjilla
Director I.Ahemd tried to give a thriller mixed with some comedy, but the thrilling part is absolutely missing except in the climax sequence. Action sequence in the climax is poor with some Graphics works. On the whole the movie is just average only.
I don't think that this will be a success in BO.
Verdict : Poster kandu orupaadonnum pratheekshikkaruthu. Orupaadalla onnum pratheekshikkaruthu. Enkil kollaam. DVD will be the best option for this
Vaalkashanam : Jai told in an interview that 2 of his upcoming movies will flop, but Vaamanan will be a hit. I think Jai is thoroughly mistaken. I think "Aval per Thamizharasi" from moserbaer will be a hit since their previous flicks Raman Thediya Seethai & Poo were so good movies
