~~~~~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!!!!!!!!!

Story: Story is somewhat similar to Vaamanan's. Aadyam Ponvannan, Anand, Riyaz Khan iverallaam ulla oru rashtreeya meeting. Pinne ellavarum vediyettu kidakkunnu. Pinne Titlesil Daniel Balajide intro as a thief. Pinne Gramathil ninnum aalukal including his own mother Nithin Sathyaye odikkunnu, temple-le kaanikkavanchi moshtichathinu. Nithin city-il ethunnu. Pinne Rakhi Sawant's song in a bar. Nithin Danielne rakshikkunnu. Nithin joins Daniel. Pinne a song of LakshmiRai. She's a bar dancer. Her father is Cochin Haneefa, a good for nothing guy. Kishore plays Commissioner who comes to investigate the case. Nithin Sathya ayalude purse adikkan nokkunnu. Pakshe nadakkunnilla. Pidikkappedathe 2 perum escape aakunnu. Danielnte roomnte aduthulla roomle aal aa casene sambhandicha rekha thante kayyil undennu parayunnu. Police is after him.Nithin Sathyade nayika Manjaride intro. Oru song.

Performances
Daniel with tattoos and all is bad. Nithin Sathya steals the show with one liners. Lakshmi Rai pichakkaari dressnte karyathil in songs, Manjari too. Lakshmi Rai Vikram Bhatt produce cheythathu kondu kurachu glamorous aayittu abhinayichu Bollywood-il kayaraanaavum plan. Kishore & Ponvannan is OK. Riyaz Khan is wasted.

Songs
Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is OK only. Azhagaana Neeyum... song is good.


Technical
Cinematography is avergae and Editing was ok only.

Though Srinath is director, Anees Tanveer did story, screenplay & creative direction of this Vikram Bhatt produced movie. The film's biggest plus point is its climax sequence which is superb with lots of twists. If this climax was made into the some 30 minutes, then movie would have been much more entertaining.



First half is racy. Second Half needs some cuts. All songs are to be avoided. Watch it for climax in DVD

Storyline
---------

Padathinte opening shot thanne Lakshmi Rai 2 pieceil kadalil ninnum karakku kayari varunnathaanu. She's a model. Oru ad film shooting aanu. Director toy helicopter-il camera fix cheythu baakki shots edukkunnu, which is controlled by a remote control. Ee remote control kedayi ee copter camerayumaayi engotto parannu pokunnu. Mattoridathu oru manthri thante padavi mattoraalkku kodukkaan orungunnu. Sampath avide vannu thante peru nominate cheyyan parayunnu. Ayal ethirkkunnu. Ayaale kollunnu. Ithu aa copter camera which is struck in a cocnut tree shoot cheyyunnu.

Pinne titles, athil paraspara bandhamillaathe orupaadu karyangal kaanikkunnu.

Pinne "Lucky Boy" song with Jai. Aa paattil oru nalla intro polum Jaikku illa. Cinema nadan aakaan vendi Chennaiyilekku pokunnu. Avide friend Santhanathinte koode thaamasikkunnu. Santhanam rocks with his oneliners. Jai nadanaakaan chance chodikkunnidathu Vijaye imitate cheyyunnu. Oru railway station , Nayikaye kaanunnu. Ee samayam aa camera kittiya ad film maker and model Lakshmi Rai kolapathakam kaanunnu. Avar AC Thalaivasal Vijaye vilikkunnu. Ayaal Sampathinte aal. Gundakal veedu valayunnu. Lakshmi Rai aadyame escape. Ad fim maker cassettumaayi odi odi Jai and Nayika ulla metro trainil kayarunnu. Cassette ayal enthu cheyyunnu ennu appol kaanikkunnilla. Ayaale trainil vechu kollunnu. Nayikayude bag thirakkil nashtappedunnu. Nayikayude Amma Urvashi reminds her role in Achuvinte Amma in the beginning, later it changed. Nayakan bag thante kayyilundennu vilichu parayunnu. Next day Nayakane Urvashi meet cheyyunnu, Nayikayeyum. Some good omedy sequences. In between Rahman's intro. His character is totally a mysterious one in the beginning. Pinne song Oh Devathaye which is good. Then again Rahman+Jai scenes and comedy. Pinne interval aduppichu Jai Lakshmi Raide veettil chellumbol aval bodham kettu kidakkunnu interval. In second half Lakshmi Rai kollappedunnu. Jai aanu konnathennu Police parayunnu. Konnathaaru? Aa tape evide? ennathaanu baakki. Ithinidayil first halfil oru mayakku marunnu sanghathinte scene kaanikkunnundu which is beautifully mixed with the climax sequence.

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
