DHAAM DHOOM

Finally jeeva’s last venture dhaam dhoom hit the silver screen today, after his sudden death,it created a lot of hype for the movie,, but the sad thing is that,,, the movie could satisfy only 50 % of the satisfaction and hype it carried due to trailer and blockbuster hit songs.story wise its nothing special,,, indian guy going to russia getting into a trap,, and the full story deals with how the hero faces all the problems and finally proving to the russian police that he didnt do any murder,,.love scenes in all jeeva’s movie will be cool,, and even in dhaam dhoom its looks fresh and cool as usual,, heroine kangana looks like barbie doll,,,did her part well,,,hope she improves acting in forthcoming movie:-),,,2 nd herione lakshmi rai also did her part well,, as indian lawyer who helps the hero.As usual cinematography handled by jeeva rocked,,its up to hollywood standard..insipte of having a good cameraman,harris jeyaraj and other big shots,, screen play is not up to the level,,its like same scene repeating many times both in 1 st and 2 nd half,,stunts are un belivable,,,jeyam ravi has improved a lot in acting,,:-),,jeyaram plays as villain,, but his character is not portrayed very powerful,,and he doesnt suit as villain,, finally for the sake of jeeva and harris jeyaraj’s songs we can see the movie once.

Sathyam

sathyam- the most awaited movie starring vishal,,,promos, pics, trailer made the expectations very high but the sad thing is that it coundn’t stand up to the expectations . They have tried to take commercial police story like vikram’s saamy but they failed. As usual its tit for tat story with a mixture of comedy, songs and other commercial elements needed. Vishal’s body language is simply superb. His hard work in gym reflects in every scene,,he took 8 months to build that 6 packs ab’s but failed to concentrate on the story line and screen play. Nayanthara is the heroine,, tried a comical role but failed miserably ,, comedy sense should be in built and should come automatically in the required places but nayanthara doesnt have that comic sense,, so all the comedy scenes irritates the audience,, especially the comic scene which is for 15 mins is totally waste of time,,3 major villain’s in the movie,, but there is no link between the scene at times..so many flaws in the screen play,, and the pre interval scene shot in airport is totally un belivable:-),,Harris jeyaraj too didnt live up to expectation.. songs were just ok,, and background music is a big disaster,,, cant even belive that he was the one who composed music for police stories like kaakha kaakha and vettaiadu villaidu. paal papali song tune is similar to the one which he composed for thotti jaya. As usual harris + bombay jaishree “chellema chellema ” song rocked,,its a visual treat for nayanthara fans:-) she looks so hot:-) and instead of dancing vishal poses as if he is taking part in boby building show. In the second half especially in the last 30 mins,, we can see only fighting scenes and all the stunts are artificial.

Plus(+)

1. vishal
2. Rd rajsekar’s camera

minus(-)

1. back ground music
2. screen play
3. no powerful story
4. too many fights and villains

My Ratings:40/100

Verdict: Below Average

Expected No Of Days Of Successful Run: 30 days

Vishal spent 8 months to build that 6 packs abs, in the climax he shaved his head too, and he took so much efforts for this flim, but he missed to concentrate on story line and screen play,, if he could have concentrated on that then sathyam would have been another kaakha kaakha but unfortunately inspite of taking so much of efforts it failed.

KUSELAN

kuselan– super star movie released after 1 1/2 years,, its a remake of super hit malayalam movie,,,, though its a remake,, in tamil they have made lot of changes to suit the tamil audience and super star image. pasupathi is the main hero and as usual acted his part well, and rajni acted as super star itself, and he hardly comes for 20 minutes.its a one line story,, rajni and pasupathi are friends during school days,,, and they lose the contact after 10 std and rajni becomes super star and pasupathi becomes barber,,in the climax  rajni finds pasupathi. meena did a decent job,,, and nayanthara is used for songs alone and she harldly has one dialogue in the movie. and mamta too wasted .lot of small characters can be seen in the movie but all performed very well,,,especially livingston and vadivelu.and u cant find rajni doing style,speaking punch dialogues in this movie,and after so many years we can see rajni crying in a movie,, which makes the entire audience to feel.

Plus(+)

1. super star
2. pasupathi
3. vadivelu’s comedy
4. aravind krishna’s camera

minus(-)

1. very slow screen play
2. songs misplaced in some places
3. nayanthara and mamta wasted
4. bit disappointing gv prakash music and back ground score

Expected No of Successful Run: 100 days as usual
