Aranmanai 2 (2016)

The first part was better..

[4/10 · 30 January 2016]

Story: Nothing new. The same old story of ghost taking revenge. Expired wine in an age old bottle

Cast: Siddharth - was OK. No acting talent needed for that role. Trisha - Reprising Andrea's role. Not a good scream queen. Hansika - Nothing new to say. Sundar C - Replay of his role from first part. Soori - Irritating to the core. Kovai sarala - Failed big time. Poonam Bajwa - Used for one thing only. And you might have guessed it. Manobala,Radharavi etc. - Set properties.

Music: HipHop Tamizha Aadhi - Songs were bad. Except the last song during end credits. And needed a big head massage coz of that crappy BGM.

Comedy: Soori is not santhanam. He should understand that. I laughed only one time. That too because of Mano Bala.

Verdict: First part was way better than this(I gave only 6 for that).

Chennai 600028 (2007)

The Cult Comedy - The power of Gully Cricket

[8/10 · 21 November 2014]

It is a surprise that, in a state, which follows Cricket as a religion, Movies about cricket is a rare commodity. Though certain movies speaks about cricket, nothing can match the aura of this cult classic. And To everyone's surprise, this is the director's debut movie. And his best till date. (Some may argue, 'Mankatha' is his best. But guys. Seriously?).

Gully cricket is a never before touched subject in Tamil cinema. The movie very well shows the little nuances of the local Gully cricket tournaments. The movie is about the lives and things about the different flavored people from the Chennai 600028 area, who loves Gully cricket.

The director very well mixed the commercial elements in this perfectly prepared Tamilnadu Meals. The movie has superb songs. Natural acting. Hilarious dialogues. And absolutely lotsa cricket.

The movie has got a lot of surprises. All the new faces makes it fresh. Especially you will never guess the climax scene.

If you are a Tamil guy, looking for suggesting a Tamil movie to a non-Tamil friend, this is it.

Sura (2010)

Please.. I beg you.. Give it a miss..

[1/10 · 19 November 2014]

Though down with a heavy fever, out of curiosity, I booked a ticket first day for this movie. And I rode almost 4 miles in a bicycle to reach the theater. I will regret that decision for my lifetime. Actually, it is a shame to call it a movie. Worst casting, worst acting, worst direction, worst ever dialogues. Even the comedy scenes are intolerable. Yes. I understand this one is a masala movie. But you cant mix and eat a bag full of masala in a small bowl of rice. The movie tested my patience from the first scene itself. I mean, do the people who takes these gems, watch it before the release or not? I am pretty sure they don't. Please, I beg you. Give it a miss.. Dot..
