Ananda Thandavam Movie Review

on Friday, April 10, 2009

Ananda Thandavam :


Writer : Sujatha
Director : A. R. Gandhi Krishna
Producer : Oscar V. Ravi chandran
Music : G. V .Prakash Kumar


Cast : Siddharth Venugopal , Tamanna , Rukmini Vijayakumar, Kitti


Sujatha is one of my favourite writer. The Movie Ananda Thandavam is nothing but his "Privom Santhipom".

I haven't read the book. so i cant compare the movie and book. But after i have seen this movie i was tempted to read the book. In Tamil , the movies based on books are less. We can appreciate the director for his brave and nice attempt.

Raghu is unemployee who is searching for job after his Mechanical Engineering . He lives with his father (Kitti) in ThenKasi. There comes Madhumitha(Tamanna) , a childish girl.

Raghu falls in love with Madhu. Madhu's parents are also willing to give their daughter to Raghu , as a result their enagement is also held . Raghu got a job by the influence of Madhu's Father.
Raghu came back to meet Madhu after a while , he found that Madhu's Parents planned to marry their daughter with Radhakrishnan, a newyork guy.

What happened next forms the rest of the story.

The father and son relationship between Raghu and Kitti is nice. The love bonding between Raghu and Madhu is missing. Tamanna has more scope in this movie and she did well. All the other actors are also good.

Cinematography is at first rate even from the first shot at Falls. Dialogues are note worthy. Script , Background Music and Songs are Okay. Art Direction is perfect. But the movie has bad editing.

Negative : Dragging in post interval .
Positive : Story, Characterisation, Dialogue.

Worth a watch.

Dev D - Hindi Movie Review

on Sunday, April 5, 2009

DEV - D





Language : Hindi
Producer : Ronnie Screwvala
Director : Anurag Kashyap
Music Director : Amit Trivedi
Cinematography : Rajeev Ravi
Story / Writer : Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane

Star Cast :
Abhay Deol...... Dev
Kalki Koechlin...... Chanda
Mahie Gill...... Paro
Parakh Madan
Dibyendu Bhattacharya

First, i thought that this is a B-grade Movie. But it is not.

Dev D is the modern remade of Devdas. How it would be. Devdas becomes Dev , Parvathi becomes Paro and Chandramuki becomes Chandu. Not only this. The story also. Movie has Love , Pain and Sex too. There is no vulgar and Sex Scenes. Sex is in some of the Dialogues .

The Movie has three parts as Paro , Chandu and Dev D

Paro :

Dev and Paro are childhood friends, Paro is Manager's Daughter of Dev's Dad. Dev was sent to aboard for his studies. Dev and Paro is in Love . Dev came to india to see Paro. Dev and Paro want to make love. One of Dev's Servant told him that Paro had sex with most of men in the Village. Dev suspects her and left her. Heartbroken Paro married a Guy who already has two kids. Rasika , Sister of Paro's Husband fall for Dev and they made love. Dev came to know that Paro is not a bad girl on her marriage day .

Chandu :

Lina (Becomes Chandramuki alias Chandu later) is a School student. she had a boyfriend. Her Boyfriend betrayed her . He took MMS of their blowjob and passed that to all. This incident makes trouble in Lina's Life. She became a prostitute . She is doing her college in day time and works as prosititute in night.

Dev D :

Dev becomes a drunker. He is in delhi to meet rasika. He is watching Paro living happily with his husband. He cant affort that. Rasika left Dev because Dev wants only sex from Rasika not the love. He met Chandu by Chinni(Pimp).


The Rest of the Story ..... Please Watch Yourself.

Dev D is a new kind of Hindi Movie which is a trend setter. Director Anurag Kashyap portrays the movie very well. Songs of the Movie is top notch. Background score is fabulous. The Dance by Twilight Players are good. Cinematography is at First rate.

No one can play the character of Dev other than Abhay Deol . Tailor Made role for Abhay. The Girls who played the Character of Paro and Chandu are good.

The Drawback of the movie is, it drags in some places .

A Must See.

**** out *****

Ayan - Movie Review

on Friday, April 3, 2009

அயன் : விமர்சனம்

Cast : Surya , Tamanna , Prabhu, Karunas
Director : K.V Anand
Music : Harris Jeyaraj


Ayan movie is must see with your Family, when it is telecasted in Sun TV.


Horrible Movie.

Surya is doing smuggling with Prabhu who is a Smuggler. As usual , they have their enemy in their business. friendship , love , revenge makes the rest of the story.


Cinematography is excellent. Visualization of Songs are good. And the Action Sequences (Stunt in Africa ) is Nice. Background Score of Harris Jeyaraj is as usual great.

Director K V Anand fails this time with interesting Story. Screenplay is good at some places like KV Anand's previous films.

Surya started to follow Vijay(especially the movie Kuruvi). This movie reminds Blood Diamond, Bourne Ultimatum and Maria Full of Grace .

Chemistry between Surya and Tamanna is not bad.

Movie has lot of Masala Masala Masala.

Better make some good dish in your home and spend time with your family. Dont waste your precious Time.
