"Eeram", a supernatural Thriller by Director Arivazhagan

“Eeram”, a supernatural thriller by “debutant Director Arivazhagan” and produced by director “Shankar” has given a different outlook to Kollywood movies.  This unusual concept has never been tried in the history of Tamil movies though considered to be a common one in Hollywood.

Well, when it comes to story as I have already mentioned this is an unusual and a different concept that Arivazhagan had ventured into his debut movie. And it eventually clicked. The whole plot revolves around the investigation of the death of Ramya (Sindhu Menon) by DSP Vasudevan (Aadhi), Ex-Boyfriend of Ramya. Meanwhile the plot flips between past and the present that forms the essence of the movie.

Sindhu Menon and Nandha in "Eeram"

Ramya, wife of Bala (Nandha) is found dead in a Bath Tub at her apartment leaving a note stating that she is purely responsible for her death. Now this makes DSP Vasudevan to take up the case and he starts investigating to the neighborhoods. However, a series of mysterious murders unfolds at the apartment in a similar fashion that disturbs him and leads to too many confusion and suspects.

But Vasu is determined not to rest until he finds the murderer. The plot takes a twist in the second half when he understands the fact that the murderer’s only weapon is “H2O” ( Water).

Aadhi as DSP Vasudevan in "Eeram"

Divya (Saranya Mohan) who plays the role of Ramya’s sister has given an outstanding performance when compared to her other movies. Sindhu Menon has also done justice to her role in her Debut entry in Kollywood. Aadhi has totally involved himself into the character and has done it effortlessly.

Hat’s Off! to the director for bringing in such an unusual concept in Kollywood.Music by “Thaman” simply fits into the theme and concept of Eeram. Cinematography and the graphics used are simply awesome. No doubt portraits the class of Shankar’s movie.

Final Verdict: Eeram, a spine chilling thriller that is worth watching.

You might be wondering that I have almost come to the end of this column and still didn’t pen my review for Dil Bole Hadippa. Hey guys, I don’t wanna reveal the spirit and the essence of this movie right away before you guys go watch it live on theatres.

But if you ask for one piece of advise for Rani’s fan and others, it would be” Dil Bole – Watch it Yourself” It’s worth watching for all the Rani’s hot new looks and  the effort she has taken to bring out the character of Veer Pratap Singh and Veera.

2012 - Are you prepared for this???

From the makers of all the three distruction and disaster movies like “Independence Day”, “Godzilla” and “The Day After Tomorrow”, Roland Emmerich has now come up with his new and a distruction of all the disaster movies he has taken so far is “2012″.

Columbia Pictures Presents 2012 – “We Were Warned”

2012 – “We were Warned” goes the tagline of the movie that fits in perfectly for this concept. This movie started it’s shooting way back in August 2008 and is scheduled to released on 13th November 2009. 2012 is all about the ancient “Mayan calendar” which predicted the world’s doomsday event somewhere at the end of 2012. This event will put an end to the existence of the world. The whole plot revolves around this concept.

Now this kinda movie is not a new concept for Roland Emmerich. The Director has tried it all in his previous disaster films. But I bet, this one’s the biggest disaster of all his works so far.

The Director of “Yavarum Nalam”, Vikram K Kumar, had tried something different and new in the Indian movie industry . A thriller concept which no one has thought of. An unusual horror movie that had a thrilling experience from the start till the end.

Everyone has played their part to what they were expected of and the performance was just up to the mark. This has lead to the success of the storyline.

The Plot

The plot goes like this when Madhavan and his family members get shifted to a new flat with door no. as 13B which is situated at 13^th floor (Spooky!!!). As everybody expects new and good things to happen in a new home, the same was expected by Madhavan and his family members. The ladies in the family were a TV serial maniac and started watching a new serial in the name “Yavarum Nalam”.

Superstar Rajnikanth in "SHIVAJI"

Directed by S.Shankar ” Shivaji – The Boss” has gone for a clean sweep in the Box Office hit. Shankar had given a fantastic try on the Kollywood’s forever Super star “RajniKanth” with style and sophistication. Music is by A.R.Rahman, whose work is undoubtely the best.

Shivaji – Casts

As Shankar always looks for glamourous actresses in his movie, “Shriya Saran” has been the perfect choice for this Shivaji. The Super star ” Ranjnikanth” and Hot Chick “Shriya Saran” takes the lead role though Shriya is not given much importance.

The others have done their roles up to the mark with “Raghuvaran” in guest appearance. And worth mentioning, “Suman” has done a terrific Villian role for “Shivaji”. he has givenequally a superb performance.

The Story Line

The whole story revolves on one aspect of Money not being utilised and distributed in a proper manner by the government. Rich people sta richer forever and the poor people stay down the layer. Shankar had already tried this concept in “Gentlemen” and now again in “Shivaji” with a tremendous actor like Rajnikanth.

In this film, Shivaji returns to India who works as a software analyst in USA. He wishes to start the Sivaji Foundations for almost Rs.200 Crores which is gonna create problems to Suman’s business. There starts the clash. Ultimately Sivaji then tries to teach him a leason thereby lifting up the  the backward class people by providing education with a touch of hilarity in Vivek’s Style.

The Director – S.Shankar

Music Director – A.R.Rahaman

Casts – Rajnikanth, Shriya Saran, Suman, Raghuvaran

Shankar cum Super Star cum A.R.Rahaman – Don’t you think this one’s a easy win-win situation in the Box office???

Superstar “Rajnikanth” in  SHIVAJI – Trailer

Aamir Khan in "Ghajini"

“Ghajini” is A.R.Murugadoss’s Bollywood Directorial Debut film. This movie is actually a remake of the Hollywood movie “Memento”. The director has taken this movie in three different languages – Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. All the three seems to hit the Box office.

Ghajini – Casts

Surya and Asin play the lead roles in the tamil version. Director A.R.Murugadoss has chosen the most talented Bollywood actor “Aamir Khan” to play the role of the rich businessman ”Sanjay Singhania” for the hindi version. Aamir had put his heart and soul in bringing his body to a great shape with six packs. Asin takes the leading female role in this movie.

The Love line of the Story

This movie starts with a thrilling revenge attitude portrayed by the character (Sanjay Singhania) when his girl is being murdered in front of his eyes. This shock leaves him with short term memory loss. The director then switches between the present and the past life of Sanjay Singhania (Aamir) with a terrific screenplay and camera tactics by Ravi K Chandran.

Asin’s (Kalpana) death and the helpless situation of Aamir (Sanjay) struggling to save his lady love really moved every audience. Hat’s off to Murugadoss who has given a wonderful performance in this movie. Though everything fell in place for the hindi version, some felt apart from taking efforts in building a six pack, Aamir forgot his emotions and expressions in this movie which was quite a concern afterall. Aamir couldn’t put up a show to the expected level as compared to Surya’s performance in tamil, that had a distinct difference in the two characters. Whereas, Aamir gave the same expressions in both life of Sanjay Singhania(which shouldn’t be the case).

Apart from that, everything else was just perfect for this Revenge thriller.
