Review - Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal

Production: Jayaraman, Elred Kumar and James
Banner: R. S. Infotainment
Cast: Atharvaa, Amala Paul
Music: G.V.Prakash Kumar

‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ is another proud presentation from the banner R.S. Infotainment, which earlier presented the Simbhu-Trisha, starred ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa’. This Romantic thriller is produced by Jayaraman, Elred Kumar and James. It features Atharvaa and Amala Paul within the lead roles. Elred Kumar has written and directed it. G.V.Prakash Kumar has scored the Music.

Everyone has strong hopes concerning the power of positive vibrations. It's said that, “If we believe that, something should happen in our life, it's going to surely happen. It'll or won't exactly happen within the timing, once we want. But, it is going to surely happen. MUK is predicated on that idea. ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK) is fundamentally according to that concept.

In this ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK), Ram alias Ramachandran (Atharvaa) comes from a village. He's the one son of his Widowed mother. Initially, he has some physical disabilities. But, he's treated by the efforts taken by her Mom. Because of a majority of these reasons, he's greatly attached to his mom.

The Story of ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ starts in Bengaluru. Ram commences his career in Chennai. Then, he proves himself in all stages and attains the location of Acting CEO too. Ram could be very shrewd, handsome and is just like the pioneer in his concern. The entire people around him, particularly his female Colleagues, Juniors are a great deal crazy about him. They would like to divert his attention towards them. A Junior colleague named Radhi (Yashika) may be very much mad about Ram.

But, Ram is already in Love over Charu alias Charulatha (Amala Paul). Though, Ram pursues his career in Bengaluru, he commenced his career in Chennai. From Chennai, he's sent to Bengaluru to satisfy Charu (one among his colleague in Bengaluru) after which participate jointly in a countrywide level Software Competition conducted in Bengaluru. Only in this circumstance, he meets Charu for the primary time, in his life.

From the start of Ram’s life, he was greatly attached to his Mom. Anyhow, for the sake of professional career, he comes clear of his Mom. But, then starts to feel his aloofness. Exactly, on this situation, he comes across Charu in his life. He falls in Love with her, because of the dearness from her end.

Meanwhile, they begin working together for that Software competition. Ram comes up with an innovation to search out Software, which helps within the purification of Sand and water, which might be already polluted by various Radiations from Earth and from Space.

In the finals, their Project wins. But, from then, many changes occur in his life. Earlier, Ram and Charu encounter few miscreants, who misbehave with girls. As a result, they gain enmity of these miscreants. Charu’s Dad and Uncle forcibly remove Charu from Ram. Ram assumes that, those miscreants have taken away Charu from him and takes revenge against them.

This separation from Charu pushes Ram to a singular Medical and Psychological problem. Unable to tolerate the pressures of separation from Charu, he starts to live his life in a global of illusion. Though Charu is clear of him, in step with his illusionary World, he supposes that, Charu is near him and lives at the side of him.

The forcibly separated Charu (who comes from US) and the Psychiatrist Uncle (Jayaprakash) come to understand in regards to the problems, that are faced by Ram. They analyze his problems. Charu being the one person, who may also help him, comes forward to assist Ram, within the strategy of bringing him back to normalcy.

The manners by which Ram suffers from aloofness, falls in Love over Charu forms the Crux of the tale. Finally, whether Ram and Charu join together of their life is the Climax of the film.

Atharvaa has stumble upon huge distances within the aspect of his performances. From his debut film ‘Banaa Kaathadi’, to his second film, this MUK, his performance-graph has skyrocketed within the forward direction. He has done well in all his scenes. In particular, the close ups of eyes and face, all of the romantic scenes and his angriness expressing scenes are awesome. Except for that, he has excelled as a high-class CEO, within the Beacon fight, a brand new Stunt introduced for the primary time on this movie and in his Dance performances.

Amala Paul turns better and better, from her previous films. She also has impressed as a CEO, in her dances and in her performances within the romantic scenes with Atharvaa.

Santhanam comes as Chandru, who's an America returned guy. He comes as a relative of Amala Paul. He makes excellent comedies of the folks working within the IT and ITES industry and their life-style, that are un-deniable, but admirable.

As ever, Jayaprakash impresses all and sundry. He comes as a Psychiatrist on this story. The original difference in his character on this film is he's dragged in few comedies by Santhanam.

Anupama Kumar who comes because the Mother of Atharvaa has done extra-ordinarily well. Nasser, certainly one of well wisher of Atharvaa’s family is nice as ever. Yashika’s (Atharvaa’s colleague) performances are very charming.

G.V.Prakash Kumar has scored the Music and the Background Music. He has given an excessively delightful Music. ‘Oru Murai’, ‘Oh Sunanda’ and the mummy sentiment song may be very nice. Lyrics by Thamarai are another highlight to MUK.

Shakthi’s Cinematography is of top-class. In general, his color sense is praiseworthy. They've used a novel Camera called Panavison for the portion shot in Las Vegas, Big apple etc. Editing by Antony could be very good, considering the various variety of Story presentation on this film.

Writer/Director/Producer Elred Kumar has presented a fancy story in an entertaining manner. His effort to focus on the results of positive vibration is another new thing, which isn't a run-of-the-mill stuff.

There are many pluses just like the Story itself, its choreography, the Costume designing, Art Direction, and the performances of the Artists etc. Within the name of deep Love, repeated hugging scenes between Atharvaa and Amala Paul attract very loud whistles and claps within the Cinema halls.

The Screenplay may well be the one negative factor for MUK. The presentation of the tale is slightly complex to understood.

To conclude, ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’, is a feel good film. ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK), has matched / exceeded the expectancy levels for sure.

Verdict: Glossy

Review - Sengathu Bhoomiyile

Review - Sengathu Bhoomiyile

Films according to friendship and family feuds resulting in the splits yearning for blood have been having its realms over the ages in Tamil Cinema. It began with Bharathiraja, who convincingly set himself for the creation of such movies in rural backdrops. His very long time associate Rathnakumar, who was penned scripts for many of the flicks made by Bharathiraja that come with Kizhakku Cheemayile, Karuthamma and award winning film Kadal Pookkal becomes an independent director with Sengathu Bhoomiyile.

Well, he brings within the traces of Bharathiraja by adding the sepia tone to the frame with dust and dry land that drenches itself in blood. Additionally, we now have the involvement of maestro Ilayaraja.

In simple terms, the director has tried to bring out the appealing factors of rural backdrops, but succumbs to clichés now and then.

Set in backdrops of Madurai, the film revolves around two friends Vallarasu (Pawan) and Chinnasamy (Senthil). Village’s most lovely belles Jayakodi (Sunulakshmi) and Vairasilai (Priyanka) are in love with these beaus. Everything is okay and healthy until a family feud breaks open resulting in the upward push of enmity between Vallarasu and Chinnasamy.

What unfolds next is a chain of clashes between these good friends-turned-foes.

What’s so special concerning the film is that director Rathnakumar has tried projecting the film with some emotional quotients that binds the audiences together over the screens. The relationships and friendships are really well portrayed here and the sufferings of those lead protagonists missing them are really well delineated.

The highlighting factors of the film are the casting of actors and their commendable performances. Pawan and Kalyan have exhibited their best potentials. Priyanka and Sunulakshmi are equally good they usually score brownie points throughout the climax. Adding best to the humour quotients is Singam Puli. A lot more than the songs, Ilayaraja strikes at his best in background score, which reinforces the visual aspects.

Though the fundamental plot of the film is ready the hackneyed concepts, the director manages to maintain us engrossed from beginning till end. It could was better if the director had trivialized the violence factors.

On the whole, it’s a tight effort by Rathnakumar and all of the team.

Verdict: Good effort by all of the team.

Set in backdrops of Madurai, the film revolves around two friends Vallarasu (Pawan) and Chinnasamy (Senthil). Village’s most lovely belles Jayakodi (Sunulakshmi) and Vairasilai (Priyanka) are in love with these beaus. Everything is okay and healthy until a family feud breaks open resulting in the upward thrust of enmity between Vallarasu and Chinnasamy.

What unfolds next is a sequence of clashes between these good friends-turned-foes.

What’s so special in regards to the film is that director Rathnakumar has tried projecting the film with some emotional quotients that binds the audiences together over the screens. The relationships and friendships are really well portrayed here and the sufferings of those lead protagonists missing them are really well delineated.

The highlighting factors of the film are the casting of actors and their commendable performances. Pawan and Kalyan have exhibited their best potentials. Priyanka and Sunulakshmi are equally good and so they score brownie points in the course of the climax. Adding best to the humour quotients is Singam Puli. A lot more than the songs, Ilayaraja strikes at his best in background score, which boosts the visual aspects.

Though the elemental plot of the film is set the hackneyed concepts, the director manages to maintain us engrossed from beginning till end. It might has been better if the director had trivialized the violence factors.

On the whole, it’s a good effort by Rathnakumar and all of the team.

Verdict: Good effort by all the team.

Review - Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal

Production: Jayaraman, Elred Kumar and James
Banner: R. S. Infotainment
Cast: Atharvaa, Amala Paul
Music: G.V.Prakash Kumar

This Romantic thriller is produced by Jayaraman, Elred Kumar and James. It features Atharvaa and Amala Paul within the lead roles. Elred Kumar has written and directed it. G.V.Prakash Kumar has scored the Music.

Everyone has strong hopes in regards to the power of positive vibrations. It's said that, “If we believe that, something should happen in our life, it's going to surely happen. It should or would possibly not exactly happen within the timing, once we want. But, it's going to surely happen. MUK is predicated on that idea. ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK) is fundamentally according to that concept.

In this ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK), Ram alias Ramachandran (Atharvaa) comes from a village. He's the one son of his Widowed mother. Initially, he has some physical disabilities. But, he's treated by the efforts taken by her Mom. As a result of a majority of these reasons, he's greatly attached to his mom.

The Story of ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ starts in Bengaluru. Ram commences his career in Chennai. Then, he proves himself in all stages and attains the placement of Acting CEO too. Ram could be very shrewd, handsome and is just like the pioneer in his concern. All of the people around him, particularly his female Colleagues, Juniors are a great deal crazy about him. They would like to divert his attention towards them. A Junior colleague named Radhi (Yashika) could be very much mad about Ram.

But, Ram is already in Love over Charu alias Charulatha (Amala Paul). Though, Ram pursues his career in Bengaluru, he commenced his career in Chennai. From Chennai, he's sent to Bengaluru to fulfill Charu (one in all his colleague in Bengaluru) after which participate jointly in a countrywide level Software Competition conducted in Bengaluru. Only in this circumstance, he meets Charu for the primary time, in his life.

From the start of Ram’s life, he have been a great deal attached to his Mom. Anyhow, for the sake of professional career, he comes clear of his Mom. But, then starts to feel his aloofness. Exactly, on this situation, he comes across Charu in his life. He falls in Love with her, as a result of dearness from her end.

Meanwhile, they begin working together for that Software competition. Ram comes up with an innovation to search out Software, which helps within the purification of Sand and water, which can be already polluted by various Radiations from Earth and from Space.

In the finals, their Project wins. But, from then, many changes occur in his life. Earlier, Ram and Charu encounter few miscreants, who misbehave with girls. As a result, they gain enmity of these miscreants. Charu’s Dad and Uncle forcibly eliminate Charu from Ram. Ram assumes that, those miscreants have taken away Charu from him and takes revenge against them.

This separation from Charu pushes Ram to a singular Medical and Psychological problem. Unable to tolerate the pressures of separation from Charu, he starts to live his life in a global of illusion. Though Charu is clear of him, consistent with his illusionary World, he supposes that, Charu is near him and lives in conjunction with him.

The forcibly separated Charu (who comes from US) and the Psychiatrist Uncle (Jayaprakash) come to understand in regards to the problems, that are faced by Ram. They analyze his problems. Charu being the one person, who may also help him, comes forward to assist Ram, within the strategy of bringing him back to normalcy.

The manners during which Ram suffers from aloofness, falls in Love over Charu forms the Crux of the tale. Finally, whether Ram and Charu join together of their life is the Climax of the film.

Atharvaa has come upon huge distances within the aspect of his performances. From his debut film ‘Banaa Kaathadi’, to his second film, this MUK, his performance-graph has skyrocketed within the forward direction. He has done well in all his scenes. In particular, the close ups of eyes and face, the entire romantic scenes and his angriness expressing scenes are awesome. Aside from that, he has excelled as a high-class CEO, within the Beacon fight, a brand new Stunt introduced for the primary time on this movie and in his Dance performances.

Amala Paul turns better and better, from her previous films. She also has impressed as a CEO, in her dances and in her performances within the romantic scenes with Atharvaa.

Santhanam comes as Chandru, who's an America returned guy. He comes as a relative of Amala Paul. He makes excellent comedies of the folk working within the IT and ITES industry and their life-style, that are un-deniable, but admirable.

As ever, Jayaprakash impresses all and sundry. He comes as a Psychiatrist on this story. The original difference in his character on this film is he's dragged in few comedies by Santhanam.

Anupama Kumar who comes because the Mother of Atharvaa has done extra-ordinarily well. Nasser, one among well wisher of Atharvaa’s family is sweet as ever. Yashika’s (Atharvaa’s colleague) performances are very charming.

G.V.Prakash Kumar has scored the Music and the Background Music. He has given an overly delightful Music. ‘Oru Murai’, ‘Oh Sunanda’ and the mummy sentiment song may be very nice. Lyrics by Thamarai are another highlight to MUK.

Shakthi’s Cinematography is of top-class. In general, his color sense is praiseworthy. They've used a singular Camera called Panavison for the portion shot in Las Vegas, The big apple etc. Editing by Antony may be very good, considering different type of Story presentation on this film.

Writer/Director/Producer Elred Kumar has presented a posh story in an entertaining manner. His effort to focus on the consequences of positive vibration is another new thing, which isn't a run-of-the-mill stuff.

There are many pluses just like the Story itself, its choreography, the Costume designing, Art Direction, and the performances of the Artists etc. Within the name of deep Love, repeated hugging scenes between Atharvaa and Amala Paul attract very loud whistles and claps within the Cinema halls.

The Screenplay may well be the one negative factor for MUK. The presentation of the tale is slightly complex to understood.

To conclude, ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’, is a feel good film. ‘Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal’ (MUK), has matched / exceeded the expectancy levels for sure.

Verdict: Glossy

Review - Kollaikaran

Review - Kollaikaran

Cast: Vidharth, Sanchita Shetty, Ravishankar
Music: A L Johan
Camera: Yuvaraj
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Director: Tamizhselvan
Banner: Prasad Cine Arts
Release date: 13 January, 2012

Mynaa gave a large break for Vidharth, who was till then doing supporting roles in films. After Mynaa his next film ‘Mudhal Idham’ was released. Though the film had all of the entertaining elements it will not do the ‘Mynaa’ magic for Vidharth.

With high hopes this wonderfully talented actor has pop out with this filmKollaikaran! And, Vidharth has used his potential to his best to maintain the actor get going as hero!

The film tells a narrative how one must correct their mistakes they commit in life otherwise the similar mistakes if done repeatedly would spoil their entire life!

Vidharth as a petty thief escapes from police without getting nabbed. As he manages to flee everytime he starts doing atrocious acts. How these blunders affect his life is shown with a gripping script.

Thillalangadi fame Sanchita Shetty, who played Tamannaah’s sister within the movie, play the affection interest of Vidharth. She has done justice to her character by doing what the director has instructed. Ravishankar is another actor who has done an even job understanding his character.

Kollaikaran is directed by Tamizhselvan, former assistant of Seenu Ramasamy. The director has given the right combination of romance and comedy in a village setting. He has also tried to bring out the actual lifetime of the agricultural milieu and a message. The script might have been given some more work to take care of the steady pace.

New face Johan has scored the music. Songs are okay. Lyricist Vairamuthu’s lines touch your heart. Background score at some places gives some solace.

The film is produced by K V Prasad of Prasad Cine Arts.

Kollaikaran is a commercial cocktail with all of the entertaining elements.

Verdict: A watchable movie!
