Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum


An intermittently well mannered rowdy/Adiyal. A beautiful girl who's jobless. Their lives crossover.

The girl comes to chennai with an offer letter, she's loses her job, gets lost in the world of unemployment, she's vulnerable with none to care.

He's just being himself, the rowdy with a heart. Frank to the core,  a lover extempore. A man with more of wisdom, less of muscling his way out of a fight. When given a chance he turns provider of comforts to one and all.

He dreams of being a bar owner and she's looking for a job for ever. He's just there every time she returns from a failed interview. He provides solace without expecting a return. Her head is turned....

But things maybe aren't meant to be as cliched as one is used to...he helps her all he can to make it into the world of monotony called employment. She succeeds. He goes savage on a assignment to kill his employer's nemesis and doesn't return for long. The sparks of love are diffused by passage of time before they come into contact with one another

Thus,

vazhkayil idai vidatha katru varum,
vazhkaiyum thodarndhu pogum , Kadhalum kadandu pogum, Un idhayathai kavarndhu pogum,  vazhkay enbadhai unarthi pogum,
Kadhalum kadandhu pogum!

Above was An effort to summarize.

The humour elements are perfectly interlaced to give the required laughter bits. The lead cast have emoted well enough to convey the varied sentiments. Vijay Sethupathi plays his role to perfection, Madonna sizzles her way into her first Tamil film. Others do their believable character roles well enough. The director delivers again, helped by the actors and a well written script except for the climax written to address Tamil audience. Definitely worth a watch.

Thani Oruvan -


A masterclass from the guy who's been type casted a Xerox machine for his Telugu remakes. Just when you thought this year doesn't have much to offer except Kakka Muttai, Raja comes up with this one... 

An IPS topper takes an oath to topple the mastermind of all criminals.  He hand picks a genius, A master who weaves with his own bare hands a unscrupulous organised crime racket camouflaging himself behind his namesakes/Benamis. The Welfare of society Quotient is high in the heart and mind of the IPS officer, who has spent his life time deciphering the crimes behind the minor misgivings of the society and finally picks his target . It's a battle of wits between the good and the bad unleashed at full throttle. Who comes out of it alive is the question answered with mystery, bugs and romantic intelligence.

When a honest, scrupulous police officer takes an oath and fills his mind with none other than his nemesis  He bleeds loyalty to the society.  With high ideals at play and indomitable will at heart, he plots and ploys every second to command and conquer and comes out of it alive and victorious. 

Brilliant screenplay, sizzling Arvindswamy as the nemesis of humanity, underplayed Jayam Ravi as the saviour, the replayed version of Nayan from Raja Rani- desperate for attention, Thambhi Ramiah plays a dumb head father of a Criminal offering intermittent laughs-  All of them acted to perfection. Decent background score, tolerable music. There's not much more a Tamil movie can offer.

Special mention - Arvind swamy captures the imagination of a classy figurehead of crimes with his body language conquering the attributes of negativity to perfection. He just plays it as though it were his everyday musing. He just ain't a handsome hunk from Roja. He's gonna steal your heart either ways.

"Would you be the guy that puts up with the stench of crime around you or the one who makes an effort dirtying ones hand to clean the society of its misgivings" . Might be the wrongly Translated moral of the movie. With some nice thoughts along the way. 

Watch it as it is one of the best movies out of Kollywood this lacklustre year.

Kaaviya thalaivan


A love triangle of the old with a benefactor male and an effort that is bold. Plotted with pure hearted jealousy, With music that sizzles and plot that fizzles out to unite lovers for a tragic closure. A noble effort of novelty, with acting that could've been better and tragedy that could've been bitter. Vasantha balan tried a Shakespeare but could only afford Raghuvaran( prithviraj) to play a pivotal role. Though its Siddharth who's afforded a chance to pull a rabbit out of the hat, the expression of prithvi raj is what enthuses you from the crowd while witnessing the act. Captivating visuals help you adore the effort, and the background music aids your comfort. A stare of innocence into the heart of evil helps plant the seeds of rehabilitation for one's misdeeds is what we are made to believe. Overall it's more of a tragedy that leaves you with crocodile tears in the end, but worth your time for its novel picturisation, prithviraj's acting, background score that's just enough for your rupee outlay.
