Aadhavan – reviews

2009-10-21T02:20:00.000-07:00

Movie – Aadhavan
Director – K.S.Ravikumar
Music – Harris Jayaraj
Cast – Suriya, Nayanthara, Rahul Dev, Murali, Saroja Devi

If laughter is the best medicine along with mass masala items, then veteran director KS Ravikumar has earned his stripes again with Aadhavan. Add Suriya, who looks sensational in a role that has negative shades and lots of comedy. The actor manages to pump some clean fun and make it the ideal family entertainer for Diwali.

The wafer-thin storyline depends more on Suriya’s star power to cruise through two hours and 45 minutes. Aadhavan (Suriya) is a hired assassin who works in tandem with Ibrahim Rowther (Sayaji Shinde) and his son (Anand Babu) in Kolkata. Justice Subramaniyam (late Malayalam actor Murali), is about to give his final judgment in an organ trade case where hundreds of children died due to the greed of a doctor, Abdul Kulkarni (Rahul Dev).

Kulkarni approaches Rowther with a contract to kill the judge and Aadhavan starts his next mission. But for the first time in his life, the ace assassin misses his mark and Aadhavan, through the help of Bannerji (Vadivel), comes into close contact with the Judge’s large family consisting of his mother (Saroja Devi), niece Tara (Nayanthara) and others. Soon Aadhavan finds out certain dark secrets and also develops a soft corner for Tara. Finally, the hunter turns hunted as the film hurtles towards the climax.

Only problem with Ramesh Kanna’s story is that it does not have a single original bone in its body, and is inspired from various movies. The film moves at a leisurely pace in the first half (92 minutes), depending mainly on Suriya and Vadivel’s bickering. The story does not move forward. The second half is racy (73 minutes), despite a predictable climax. The Kollywood mass hero turns into a one-man fighting machine and saves his loved ones after doing the impossible.

The music of Harris Jayaraj is hummable, though the placement of songs just does not gel with the narration, with Hasili Fisili and Yaeno Yaeno in the second half, which looks alike. The action scenes of Kanal Kannan and Franz Spilhaus are sensational, especially the hit and run chase picturised in Kolkata in the first half. Also, Ganesh’s camerawork has sheen. The special effects job where Suriya is transformed into a 10-year-old look realistic.

It is an out and out Suriya show. The film rides on the magic of the actor, and his zany shenanigans alone makes it worth a watch. Nayanthara looks beautiful and classy, and for a change, her glamour image has not been exploited. She comes across as the girl-next-door. Murali, in his last film, puts up a convincing performance while Saroja Devi as the Paati is okay with her trademark, excessive make-up. Vadivel is a scream and is present throughout the film.

Ranging through a wide field of comedy laced with action, Aadhavan is good fun while it lasts. It’s a roller-coaster ride of pure unadulterated masala.

நமீதாவை காதலிக்கும் சுமாரான பையன்!

2009-09-07T04:02:00.000-07:00

உரிச்சு உரிச்சு காமிக்கிறாங்களே தவிர, உருப்படியா நடிக்க விடுறதில்லையே? நமீதாவின் நெடுநாள் ஏக்கம் இது. இந்த ஏக்கத்தை போக்க வந்திருக்கிறது அழகான பொண்ணுதான் திரைப்படம். “படத்தை மொத்தம் 50 நாளில் எடுத்தோம். அதிலே 35 நாட்கள் நமீதா நடிச்சிருக்காங்க” என்றார் படத்தின் இயக்குனர் திரு. எந்த அழகான பொண்ணை பார்த்தாலும், நம்மையறியாமல் ஒரு ஏக்கம் வரும். லேசா காதலும் வரும். இந்த படத்திலேயும் நமீதாவை பார்த்தவுடன் ஹீரோவுக்கு காதல் வருது. ஆனால் ஒரு பிரச்சனை. என்னன்னா...?

அந்த பையனை விட நமீதாவுக்கு வயசு அதிகம். இப்படி முறைசாரா காதலை மையப்படுத்தி படங்கள் வந்திருக்கலாம். ஆனால், இந்த படத்தில் இன்னொரு விஷயம் என்னன்னா சுமாரான பையன் சூப்பர் பெண்ணை (பொம்பளையை?) காதலிக்கிறதுதான்.

தன்னை விட வயதில் குறைந்த ஒருவன் தன்னை ஒருதலையாக காதலிப்பதை அறிகிற அவள், அந்த காதலை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டாளா? அல்லது அட்வைஸ் பண்ணி திருத்தினாளா? என்பதுதான் க்ளைமாக்ஸ்!

வானத்தில் நிலவுக்கு கறை அழகு/ கன்னத்தில் விழுகின்ற குழி அழகு/ ஆள் தின்னும் வளைவுகள் உனதழகு/ நீ அழகான பொண்ணுதான் என்று ஒரு பாடலை எழுதி அதற்கு சுந்தர் சி பாபு இசையமைத்திருக்கிறார். “கேட்டுட்டு நமீதாவே சொக்கி போயிட்டாங்க தெரியுமா” என்றார் இப்படத்தின் டைரக்டர் திரு.

நல்லா நடிக்கிற நடிகைகள் எல்லாம் கவர்ச்சியில் இறங்கிட்டாங்க. கவர்ச்சி நடிகைகள் எல்லாம் நடிப்பிலே இறங்கிட்டாங்க. கோடம்பாக்கத்தில் எல்லாத்தையும் புரட்டி போடுற சுனாமி வந்திருச்சோ என்னவோ?

படத்தில் தெ‌ரியுமா நயன்தாராவின் பச்சை?

2009-09-07T04:00:00.000-07:00

ஆதவன் படத்தின் பாடல் மற்றும் கிளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சிக்காக ஐஸ்லேண்ட் சென்றுள்ளது ஆதவன் யூனிட். இயக்குனர் கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமார், சூர்யா, நயன்தாராவுடன் 35 நடனக் கலைஞர்களும் டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டர் தினேஷும் ஐஸ்லேண்ட் சென்றுள்ளனர்.

கவிஞர் தாமரை எழுதிய ஏனோ ஏனோ பனித்துளி தேனோ பாலோ எ‌ரியுது தீ போல என்ற பாடலை அங்கு படமாக்குகிறார்கள்.

ஆதவன் படத்தின் கதையைவிட நயன்தாராவின் பச்சை பற்றிதான் இன்டஸ்ட‌ரியில் அதிக பேச்சு. நயன்தாரா பிரபுதேவாவின் பெயரை தனது கையில் பச்சைக் குத்திக் கொண்டுள்ளார். இந்த பச்சை படத்தில் தெ‌ரியுமா தெ‌ரியாதா என கோடம்பாக்கத்தில் பெட் கட்டி காத்திருக்கிறது ஒரு கூட்டம்.

இந்த பச்சை சமாச்சாரம் தெ‌ரியாதபடி படம் எடுங்கள் என ஒளிப்பதிவாளருக்கு நயன் அன்புக் கட்டளை போட்டிருப்பதாகவும் செய்தி உலவுகிறது. எதற்கும் படத்தின் ‌ரிலீஸ் வரை காத்திருக்க வேண்டியதுதான்.

அஜீத்தின் குரலில் அசல் பாட்டு?

2009-08-18T03:13:00.000-07:00

அண்டங்காக்கா தொண்டைக்காரிகளுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல, அண்டங்காக்கா தொண்டைக்காரர்களுக்கும் வாய்ப்பு கொடுக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டார்கள் டைரக்டர்கள்! ஒரு சைஸ்சா ஐஸ் வைக்கிற மெத்தர்டுதான் இது என்றாலும், விக்ரம் மாதிரி ஹீரோக்கள் காட்டில் ஒரே பாராட்டு மழை அடிக்கிறது. எல்லாம் கந்தசாமி படத்தின் கான மழையை பாராட்டிதான்! இப்போது போலவே இனிவரும் தனது படங்களில் ஒரு பாடலாவது பாடுவது என்ற முடிவுக்கு வந்திருக்கிறாராம் சீயான்.

நேரில் பார்த்துக் கொண்டால் ஒரு ஹலோ சொல்வதோடு நிறுத்திக் கொள்வதும், அதிகபட்சமாக இரண்டு மூன்று வார்த்தைகள் பேசுவதுமாக ஆகிவிட்டது சீயான்-தல இடையிலான நட்பு. இருவரும் ஒரே படத்தில் நடித்திருந்தாலும், ஒரு கட்டத்தில் தலயை முந்திக் கொண்டு ஓட்டம் போட்டார் சீயான். அந்த கால கட்டங்களில் பல்லை கடிப்பதும், நகத்தை துப்புவதுமாக காணப்பட்டார் தல. இருந்த நூலிழை நட்பும் அறுந்து போனது. அதெல்லாம் சரியாகி இயல்பு நிலைக்கு தல திரும்பியது இப்போதுதான். அதுவும் மீண்டும் ஹிட் கொடுக்க துவங்கியதற்கு பிறகு. சரி, பழச கிண்டி பலகாரம் பொறிக்கறதை விட்டுட்டு மேட்டருக்கு வா என்கிறீர்களா? வந்திருவோம்.

கந்தசாமி படத்தில் விக்ரம் நான்கு பாடல்கள் பாடியதை தொடர்ந்து, அசல் படத்தில் அஜீத்தை பாட வைக்கும் முயற்சியில் இருக்கிறார் சரண். கேக்கறதோட சரி. முணுமுணுக்கிற வழக்கம் கூட இல்லாத அஜீத், எதுக்கு சார் வம்பு? என்கிறாராம். தொடர்ந்து வற்புறுத்தி வருகிறார் சரண்.

எறும்பு ஊற கல்லு தேயுதா? அல்லது எறும்போட காலு தேயுதாங்கிறது போக போகதான் தெரியும்!

ஜெயம் ராஜா இயக்கும் படங்களின் பாடல்களில் இனிப்பு கொஞ்சம் தூக்கலாகவே இருக்கும். முதல் படமான ஜெயம் ல் துவங்கி லேட்டஸ்டாக வந்த சந்தோஷ் சுப்பிரமணியன் வரைக்கும், ஒவ்வொரு படத்தையும் ஹிட்டாக்குவதோடு, மியூசிக்கல் ஹிட் ஆக்குவதும் ராஜாவின் யுக்திகளில் ஒன்று. இந்த ராஜாவும், அந்த (யுவன்சங்கர்) ராஜாவும் இணையப் போகிறார்கள் முதன்முறையாக!

தெலுங்கில் ரவிதேஜா, இலியானா, ஷாம் இணைந்து நடித்த கிக் என்ற படம், அங்கு சக்கை போடு போட்டது. அதன் தமிழ் உரிமையை வாங்க பெரும் போட்டி. இறுதியில் வென்றவர் எடிட்டர் மோகன்தான். இதற்கு முன்பே இவர் வாங்கிய பல தெலுங்கு படங்களில் தமிழில் பெரிய வெற்றி பெற்றதால் கூட, இவருக்கு முன்னுரிமை வழங்கப்பட்டிருக்கலாம். இதில்தான் இப்போது ஜெயம் ரவி நடிக்கிறார். இவருக்கு ஜோடியாக நடிக்கிறார் தமன்னா. ரவியோடு ஜோடி சேர்ந்த சதா, அசின், த்ரிஷா, ஜெனிலியா என்று எல்லாருமே மும்பைக்கு போய்விட்டார்கள். அடுத்து தமன்னா போலிருக்கிறது. வாழ்க!

இப்போதே பட்டிதொட்டியை பரபரப்பாக்கியிருக்கும் ஜெயம் ரவி, இப்படம் வெளி வந்தால் தமிழ்சினிமாவின் மாஸ் ஹீரோக்களில் ஒருவராகிவிடுவார் என்கிறது கோடம்பாக்கம் கருத்துக்கணிப்பு ஒன்று. இப்படம் சம்பந்தமாக அறிவிக்கப்படாத இரண்டு விஷயங்கள்.

ஒன்று- தமிழிலும் ஷாம் நடிப்பாரா? இரண்டு- படத்தின் டைட்டில் என்ன? இம்மாத இறுதிக்குள் விஷயம் தெரிஞ்சுரும்...

Asin Beats Aishwarya Rai To Become 'Dreamgirl'

2009-08-03T22:11:00.000-07:00

It has been quite a while since the talk has been on in Bollywood as to who among the leading ladies can be deemed as the ‘Dream Girl’ of Bollywood. Apparently, after the southern beauty Hema Malini there has not been a single person who could nab that title but recently, Hema ji herself came up with the statement that according to her, the green eyed beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the deserving candidate.

Since then, many media channels have been trying to ascertain whether the audience and film buffs feel the same or not. However, it is being said that all surveys are pointing in one direction, to that of the hot Malayalam beauty Asin. Just one film old in Bollywood and that too a blockbuster hit, Asin has been a hot property in the south before she packed her bags to Mumbai. But much to the surprise of many, Asin has beaten the likes of the angel of beauty Katrina Kaif and the queen Aishwarya herself.
Those who voted for Asin say that she has that innocence in her face and at the same time, she can carry herself elegantly along with a tempting sex appeal. There are also those who say that Asin is young and she has a long way to go in her career and given her dream start with ‘Ghajini’ she sure has it in her to rule the throne of Bollywood. Surprisingly, the likes of Kareena, Katrina, Ash have not been favored by many and it is heard that they find the girls from south to carry a natural beauty in them instead of glamour and made up beauty. Asin will soon be arriving with her next venture ‘London Dreams’ and this time, she has paired up with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan.
The expectations are very high and if she scores another hit then the ‘Dreamgirl’ will be setting a new chapter in the history of Bollywood.

Nayanthara in Manirathinam’s film

2009-08-03T22:00:00.000-07:00

Rathinam is capable making mythological stories to suit the modern trends. From Mahabharatha he churned Dhalapthy. Now he is making the movie Ravanan inspired from Ramayana. This film is being made in Hindi and Tamil simultaneously. In the Tamil version Vikram is donning the role of Raman. Aishwarya is donning the role of Seetha. In Hindi version Abhishek is donning the role of Rama. Now Manirathinam feels that Nayanthara would be suitable do the role of Mandodari, the wife of Ravana.

Suhasini Manirathinam is speaking to Nayanthara with regard to this. But Nayanthara has not given an affirmative reply yet. But it seems that she has told Suhasini,” I am a glamorous actress. My fans expect glamour from me. But there won’t be glamour in your husband’s film. I don’t know whether I will be suitable for this role.” Suhasini said that she will speak to her husband about this and call back.

Those were graphic generated images. I was totally upset seeing these pictures. In fact I lost my balance.

There was news that you met Simbhu recently. Have you joined with him once again?

We have met recently to discuss about a story. There is no other reason. This meeting was purely professional and not personal. I am not in love with anyone.

You are acting so glamorously.

Men prefer to see mein glamour roles. That is the reason I am acting so glamaroulsy.

When Shreya was asked how she became a winner in Tamil cinema, she said,” I was acting in Ad films in Mumbai.

Since Malai did not do well at the box office, I was sidelined as an unlucky star in Kollywood. So I thought Tamil Cinema is a dream and started concentrating in Telugu films. Only at that time I got the opportunity to act in Shivaji. And after this everyone knows the magic which happened.

This has brought me upto Kandasamy. The unlucky image which I had was shattered by Super Star, Shivaji is a great turning point in my life.”

We were told that he was busy with the election campaign, after which he was going abroad. We could only meet him after he returned. But unfortunately, he won’t be doing the campaign.”

It was only recently that Gupta managed to meet the actor with a concept note. “He said he’s been doing a lot of government interest campaigns and felt that if he spoke on every subject, his credibility would suffer,” said Gupta.
