Ko 2 sets you up for a journey you expect to be exciting with a fairly good premise and start but flounders and deviates all through its course into poorly conceived romance-comedy, villainy and vengeance. With the casting issues not helping its case either, it makes a mockery of sorts of its much more serious and clinical predecessor Ko
It is not often we get films in India that have Sci-Fi, Action, Romance, Comedy & emotional drama bundled into a single film but still not fall under this overly abused tag of ‘Masala Film’. This is where Vikram Kumar and actor-producer Suriya score by giving us a fantastic whirlwind experience over the course of 160 odd minutes.
The levelheaded approach shown by Ahmed & Udhayanidhi in not tinkering much with the core of Jolly LLB and letting the veterans take as much limelight as its hero makes the film tick the right boxes and score as a feel-good flick with a message.
Theri attempts to make a point that a clichéd story that has been beaten to death in Tamil cinema, when infused with a big star cast and the right budget can still be made palatable. Despite being predictable from start to finish, the movie has its share of intense moments smartly laced to make it worthwhile!
'Hello Naan Pei Pesuren', is a dated, atrocious film running on wafer-thin plot with few routine horror set-pieces! The film is only bearable due to the heavy humour quotient helmed by the inimitable ‘VTV’ Ganesh.
Thozha is a crowd-pleasing emotional drama that sticks to its core pretty well without deviating much into the so-called commercial elements. Watch it for Nagarjuna’s stellar performance, Karthi’s spontaneity & Prakashraj’s class!
Sawaari belong to the suspense-road-thriller genre; something that is not attempted often in Indian cinema and not a successful genre too. However, Sawaari’s sharp writing and rip-roaring background score keeps you hooked for the most part and masks the lack of budget convincingly.
Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum has an infectious charm about the way it takes us into the lives of its unremarkable characters with quirky moments of fun that makes it immensely likeable even as a part of us wonders 'what is special about this film?'
Even as Pichaikaaran wavers a lot in its search for finding Villains and crusader case-points for the hero, the film ends up being a watch one wouldn’t regret because of its fresh core treated with overwhelming moments and the commercial additions that work in parts.
Pokkiri Raja starts out slow to pick up an entertaining touch on the way - though oscillating between two varied modes of narration, the fun manages to evade the pits and keeps the movie quite funny up till the very end!
