Theeya Velai Sayaanum Kumaru, fiery comedy

It was a laugh riot!

These are good times for Tamil cinema, especially for the comedy genre.

Except for the songs, Sunday C has given a great entertainer and there is never dull moment in the movie.

Sidharth is software professional who has had some bad experience with women(unkind) in his childhood. But having been born in the family where love marriage is the norm he is expected to woo a girl and get married.

He loses his heart to Hansika who joins as a Trainee in the same organization he works for. He faces intensive competition not only from others in the company but also from himself as he is clueless in the matters of heart. Upon his brother-in-law's suggestion he seeks Santhanam's (the hitch doctor) tutelage.

The part where he manages to win over Hansika's love is as interesting as the twist in the story where Santhanam turns against the affair will keep you entertained till the end.

Don't miss it. 

Sudu Kavvum, honest lessons

It has never been so good for Tamil movies. Marina, Pizza, Neer Paravai, Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanum (NKPK). All relatively low budget movies that have excelled in entertaining. Unlike Alex Pandian sort of movie that have a big stars and bigger budgets with pathetic script and storyline, these movies are very intelligently made.


Vijay Sethupathi seems to be really doing a good job in choosing his movies. After Pizza and NKPK, he is back with Sudu Kavvum. But I must say that he is not the only hero of the movie. Everyone in the movie have been given a chance and none of them have failed.

A group of youngsters join Vijay Sethupathi who runs a kidnapping racket. But he has strict principles of "kednapping".

Then there is an upright Minister who has a wayward son.

Due to an enmity with a Minister, a businessman commissions Vijay and his team to kidnap Minister's son. And then a laugh riot ensues.

The Police Inspector, Vijay's Doctor Rowdy brother, Vijay's girlfriend, and Radha Ravi are as impressive as the others.

But the winner in the movie is the Minister's son. Especially, in the climax scenes where he interacts with Radha Ravi.

The movie is a great dark comedy that portrays the current affairs. Loved it. Kudos to the entire team. 

The PRomised Land

I am not sure about fracking process. Whether it is safe way of extracting the gas from the ground below. The movie does convey that it may not be. There weren't details and enough facts. But the movie does give a cute lesson in PR.

Matt Damon works for Global, a gas company. He is successful sales person who is able to source the lands for extraction for the company. He is sent to a farm town in Pennsylvania. There he meets a resistance in the form of an old teacher. To make things work an environmentalist also arrives and starts to campaign against Global's efforts.

In the climax, Matt realises that the entire show is being managed by Global. For more details do watch the movie. Not spectacular but still watchable.

Alex Pandian, Why Why Why?

I am not sure if the producers realize that they are making a stupid movie. Or do they think that the movie goers are so stupid that they will want to pay for such movies.

Did you know this? In the initial days of cinema, people were actually paid to watch movies. Alex Pandian starring Karthi is one of those movies that one shouldn't watch even if they are paid. Don't watch it even if it is on TV without advertisement. Don't watch it is even if someone gives you the bestest of DVD without charging for it.

I don't have anything else to say. Of course some stupid like me has to watch it warn others. That is my excuse.
