Ayan

Winning laurels with his tracks for 'Vaaranam Aayiram', Suriya is back to strike gold with his forthcoming film 'Ayan'. K.V. Anand who won laurels for his debut directorial 'Kana Kandein' is back wielding the megaphone for this film produced by AVM Productions. A commercial entertainer, the auteur seems to have mixed exceptional plotlines. And here comes the most grandiloquent pair of Harris Jayaraj and Suriya who worked magic with 'Kaakha Kaakha', 'Ghajini' and the recent 'Vaaranam Aayiram'. The Musical Album of 'Ayan' has 5 melodies belonging to various genres… 1. Pala Listen here Singer: Hariharan Lyricist: Vairamuthu Remember the most fantastic song of 2008! Yeah, it's none other than 'Nenjukkul Paidhidum' with Hariharan rendering voice for it. Over here, he croons for the same actor but with a different style. Unlike the melodious one, this track is a grand fast moving peppy number that carries an electrifying message for youngsters. 2. Nenje Nenje Listen here Singer: Malathi, Harish Raghavendra Lyricist: Vairamuthu This one is a romantic number with poignant lyrics centering on a young lad and his missy looking out for pure love. Harris Jayaraj has picked up apt singers in Malathi and Harish Raghavendra and his choice doesn't disappoint you. Unforeseen efforts from Malathi are revealing with her intonations and ditto to Harish Raghavendra who is up with the same show as in 'Azhagiya Theeye' of Minnale. 3. Honey Honey Listen here Singer: Devan, Sayonara Philip Lyricist: Vairamuthu 'Sensuous', 'Sultry' (you can use the best of words for this song) … brimming with such feel, Harris tunes a melody with the beats on Congo drums running all through the rendering. Intonation of Sayonara Philip steals the show while Devan's strides creates a penchant feel amongst the listeners. 4. Vizhi Moodi Listen here Singer: Karthik Lyricist: Vairamuthu 'Oru Maalai'- A splendid song that never fades from our memories had Harris and Karthik on the tracks. And again, we've another melody churned by this duo and Vairamuthu's lyrics of a lad's intrinsic feel when in love captivates. This one is sure to rock as a chartbuster. Marvelously orchestrated beats with female vocalism in preludes offers complete enhancement. 5. Oyayiye Aayiye Listen here Singer: Haricharan, Benny Dayal and Chinmayee Lyrics: Vairamuthu 'Perky lines and peppy tune' has a big sensation for young hearts. Haricharan, Benny Dayal and Chinmayee deliver with elegance on their quotients. KV Anand's innovative motif and Prabhu's cinematography are sure to turn the song a lot more fantastic on screen. On the whole, 'Ayan' has a whole lot of mix in spellbinding melodies and mind-boggling peppy numbers. Undoubtedly, Harris is there over the top with the prodigious score for his ducky actor Surya. Verdict: Worth heeding to…

Siva Mansula Sakthi

Star-casts: Jeeva, Anuya, Aarya, Santhanam, Oorvasi and others. Banner: Vikatan Talkies Story Screenplay and Direction: Rajesh Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Camera: Sakthi Saravanan

For those multiplex audiences who were quite worried for the fact that Tamil filmmakers aren’t gearing up for flicks savoring to their tastes, here’s something special… Yup! Siva Manasula Sakthi indeed had a perfect title earlier as ‘SMS’. It was so peppy and stylish that it had to be rechristened later… Well, for Jeeva it’s a great change for he hasn’t something special in his performance but as a chilled-up youngster. Debutant Rajesh gears up for a best debut… At most parts of the film, he seems to have been influenced a lot from Bollywood films. But nothing everything’s perfect… Oh! That reminds us about how a film called ‘Sakkarakatti’ was made. Spare us if you’ve made us disturbed uttering the name of this home video… Like it happens in most of the love stories, hero and heroine’s meeting happens over a train journey.. For instance, even the stations of departure and arrival are the same as in Vaaranam Aayiram where you’ve Surya and Sameera Reddy catching up… As the train journey, it’s about Shiva (Jeeva) and Sakthi (Anuja) introducing themselves as bigwigs… Being a courier boy, Shiva pretends to be a part in Indian Army Services while Sakthi is nowhere far from him. She’s a radio jockey and tells him that her job is associated with Thai Airlines. Eventually, there’s we get to see that their job positions are revealed. Sakthi earns for his family’s bread and butter by taking up courier carriages. Most of the times, he is spotted along with his roadside romeo (Santhanam). Sooner, the young lad and missy get attracted to each other. But things are topsy-turvy once Sakthi’s dad finds a perfect match for her. For your greater surprise it’s Arun (Aarya) on the screens. Meanwhile Siva makes Sakthi realize that his love for her is insatiable and that goes to the more extended level that fall for each other romantically mesmerized for a night… But everything’s not fine and cool for next minutes as there are more ego clashes involved. Jeeva is great in his performance on all situations. Be it playing pranks, during his tiffs with egoistic nature or adhered to emotions, he’s off with top-notching spell. Anuya is alluring and stylish in her looks. She never makes us doubt that she’s new to the screens and eventually, she will have a great time in Kollywood. Santhanam makes his best on comedy tracks with Jeeva, but it’s Oorvasi who causes you stomachache with her continual comedy tracks. In particular, the highlighting feature is about her act in penultimate sequences. Sathyan on the pars, fills the space on this panorama. Aarya on his guest appearance is nice to watch, especially for the girls. If you had seen him as a agory in his last week’s release ‘Naan Kadavul’, he’s so charming in this look. Yuvan’s song is quite laudable though not catching up your senses. Cinematography is again a mediocre and ditto to editing. Rajesh’s screenplay could’ve been worked far more better for a best show. Anyhow, this itself looks great and entertaining. On the whole, Siva Manasula Sakthi is a pleasant film to watch for the weekend or your evening after hard-day work… It’s cool and stupefying especially for the youngsters. Maybe, it’s bit odd for C centres and that we can figure out after couple of days… For now, our advice is to watch this film without any expectations and chill out… Bottom - Line: A Good Flick to watch Verdict: Nice… good job by Rajesh

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu

All hope is not lost in Kollywood! At a time when the theatre-going audience has dwindled and a general criticism prevails that quality has taken a beating in Tamil cinema, 'Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu' has come a whiff of fresh air. There is no bad mouthing villains and no crass comedy or needless romantic duets. Debutant director Susindhran has consciously avoided all clichéd commercial elements, yet managed to render an engrossing entertainer. But, the movie has abundant human emotions in it. A refreshing and a different film, 'Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu' lives up to the title, dwelling upon a group of friends for whom the valorous sport of kabbadi is everything in their life. Susindhran's engrossing screenplay coupled with pacy narration works out all the wonders. Glorifying the victory of underdogs never failed to appease the masses. Seemingly inspired by the success of films like Bollywood's 'Lagaan', 'Chak de India' and Tamil flicks 'Chennai 600028' and 'Lee' that were made around sports, Susindhran has churned out a film which is all about kabbadi, a hugely popular sport in rural Tamilnadu. Every character in the film but for the kabbadi coach played by Kishore is new and hence provides a fresh feel for the audience. As an inspirational coach he reminds one of a similar role played by Shahrukh Khan in 'Chak De India'. He oozes charm and elegance in the role as a kabbadi coach. A dignified portrayal by him wins the heart of the film-buffs at the first go. Not far behind is Vishnu, the newcomer. He fits the role like a 'T' thanks to his innocent and the boy-next-door-looks. As Marimuthu he brings out on screen the emotions of a caring son, a yearning lover and a determined sportsman. The cute-looking Saranya Mohan as Vishnu's ladylove is adequate for the role. Clad in Pavadai and Thavani, she does a breezy role. A convincing cameo by her is praiseworthy. A host of other characters including newcomers Vairavan, Nithish, Sundar, Appu Kutti, Suri and Pandi does have a role to play in the film and they resemble the youngsters we see every day in rustic villages. The movie has threadbare storyline. In a nutshell, it is the triumph of a group of young men, who are considered the 'regular' losers in kabbadi by people in their own backyard. Touted as the fit for nothing bunch, these men go on to win accolades to their acquaintance with a skilled coach. The entire story unfolds in a remote village near Madurai. What begins as a soft romance between a poor young boy Marimuthu (Vishnu) and a young girl (Saranya Mohan), who comes to the village soon takes a turn. Marimuthu along with his childhood friends Ayyappan (Vairavan), Sekar (Nithish), Murthy (Sundar), Appu Kuttu (Appu Kutty) and Pandi (Pandi) yearn and crave to win a kabbadi tournament. Their Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu is popular for they never managed to win a tournament. They manage to find themselves by chance in a State-level tournament where they are considered to bow out in the very first round. But the bunch of young men, who share different thoughts and ideas, with the help of Souda Muthu (Kishore), a professional kabbadi coach, emerge winner. But the story doesn't end here for there are more surprises that are thrown for the audience. The highlight of the movie is debutant music composer V Selvaganesh's (son of Ghatam exponent Vikku Vinayakaram) melodious music and background score. Especially, the pacy re-recording during the kabbadi match sets up all the momentum. Equally appealing is the art work by G C Anandhan. An able craftsman, he has created the rural village well before our eyes. Especially, the grand décor in 'thiruvizha' scenes is amazing. The soft lens of J Laxman and crispy dialogues by Baskar Sakthi brings before our eyes the innocence that prevails in the daily life in villages. K Anand Chakravarthy, the young producer, can walk proudly for he has rendered a movie that is entertaining from the word go, sans any glamour or double entendre. On the whole, 'Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu' is a movie that is different from commercial clichés ushering hope and confidence in Tamil cinema.
