Purampokku Engira Podhuvudamai (Tamil, 2015)
‘Purampokku Engira Podhuvudamai’ has its moments when the inmates & police officers nonchalantly trade law points at each other and the cat-and-mouse game between the Jailer & the Prisoner with the Hangman playing the innocent foil. However, the engagement factor goes for a toss as the film tries to take on too many issues.
Uttama Villain (Tamil, 2015)
A Kamal Haasan movie is always a curiosity-kindler, and Uthama Villan is again the perfect fodder for the hunger and passion of any cinema fanatic! Touching areas of immortality, this meta-movie featuring late legend K .Balachander is simply the best tribute Kamal could have paid to his mentor and creator for its perfection in making and class in execution – Now that’s more than enough reason not to miss this one of a kind clinical performance!
Vai Raja Vai (Tamil, 2015)
Premonitions and Gambling – Vai Raja Vai makes an attempt to blend these two interesting facets which usually capture our imagination, which is made into a wholesome entertaining package with good music, adept acting and loads of humour! Though it might have ended a bit abruptly, the decent pace throughout the movie is something which will keep you engaged – go for it!
Kanchana 2 (Tamil, 2015)
This movie is just another ghost story built on its tested formulaic story with ample humour. While trying to simply reap the success of its predecessor without making an effort to better itself, it ends up serving the same old cold soup which the audience would rather gulp down and get over with it instead of relishing it – Kanchana 2 is not someone who you would want to meet again!
O Kadhal Kanmani (Tamil, 2015)
These days it is pretty easy for any movie with a usual plot to be branded as ‘New wine in an old bottle’. But OK Kanmani for many reasons doesn’t fall into that category. When the lead pair takes the screen by storm and you have some real heavyweights wielding the camera and the microphone, you can bet your money on the entertainment that you are bound to receive. Add the heart-warming BGMs and renditions to the mix, romance just went up a notch!!
