The early part of 2014 saw the clash of the titans Ajith and Vijay for the festive Pongal, for their fans more than for the actual actors! Both turned out to be just average commercial pot-boilers, refusing to resort to any sort of novelty or freshness in script or screenplay. Post Jan 15th, we have a had a few releases, some falling duds and others showing quite a lot of promise.
Released without much fanfare in the last week of January, the film got its revenue and due, mainly by way of ‘word of mouth’!
Despite being guilty of a few logical loopholes and cinematic exaggerations, and accused of promoting on-screen teenage violence (definitely not as bad as those main-stream masala flicks), director-cinematographer Vijay Milton, director Pandiraj (Dialogues) and director Lingusamy (distributor) joined hands to give us a racy engaging entertainer and the first refreshingly promising tamil movie of 2014! The whole team of Pasanga were a treat to watch! And the director definitely deserved a pat on the back for choosing the unusual premise and keeping away from formulaic songs!

Golisoda had lots of pep in it to Go for it! The audience who wanted masala movies had an opportunity to learn a thing or two on how a little inventiveness and restraint won’t make them look like having entered the theater after pledging their brains!
Released again in the last week of January, It was a totally forgettable film, except for its laudable theme. Again, it did no justice to the original. The timing of release was also not smart at all, with the film out of theatres within days! Questions were raised as to whether feminist movies will ever get their due! But some pedestrian romance and ‘for the sake’ comedy made this one, dig its own grave!
Rummy, the last release of January 2014, left me down on a number of fronts. In the name of freshness, cliches were plenty and in the cover of romance, ‘mundane’ dramatic stuff was dished out. The laborious pace of the proceedings and failure to utilize the in-form Vijay Sethupathy did their part to add to the disappointment. Finally, it turned out to be just another familiar rural tale.

The success of a film and its director lied in making the audience laugh, cry, cheer, support and sincerely feel for the characters on screen. The director who is at the helm of affairs should make sure the audience don’t feel cheated, allowing their intelligence and involvement being taken for a ride! This is where debutante director Arun Kumar scored. Through out the running time of a little over two hours, he never let the audience off the hook.
PannaiyarumPadminiyum was an example of how an ordinary one-line story on paper can be translated into an ‘endearing’ piece of cinema onscreen, just by a little intelligent scripting, adding some ‘out of the box’ sentiments and characters written right out of our neighborhood. The director never let any of the commercial elements come in his way of storytelling, still managing to pull off a riveting drama, especially in the last 60 mins.
The real hero of the movie, other than of course Arun kumar, was the all-talented Jayaprakash, who living the role of the Pannaiyar, shared some sizzling on screen romance with Thulasi, who again gave another cracker of a performance. These two, with their subtle reactions and poignant bursts of ‘youthful’ love showed how middle aged romance could work out so well, which was only so evident with the claps and cheer these two brought on, every time they appeared on screen.

Vijay Sethupathi was good, and shared great chemistry with the lead pair, more than his own pair. Iswarya looked pretty, but a couple of songs where they appear in the first half, though gelling with the narrative, did look thrust in. Thats the only time. I felt the film dragging for a few minutes. The
And the ‘sexy’ Padmini. You couldn’t but fall in love with this one. The gamut of emotions, this character ushered in the viewer, as the climax unfolded, was proof enough of what the director, the cinematographer and a sincere script was capable of!
Most of us took the time and the patience to enjoy the ride! And none much cared about it being a bit slow and bumpy, as long as it made us feel happy and inspired! But, some felt the laborious pace off-putting too.

The second noteworthy release of February, which also turned out to be the second outing for Udhayanidhi. Sometimes it’s tough to explain what exactly are we looking for, in a movie! For example, what would you expect from a movie which has Udhayanidhi, Nayan and Santhanam in the lead? Not a Nayagan or a Onaayum Aattukuttiyum kind of cinema for sure! But then, what was I really expecting?
At its core, Idhu Kathirvelan Kaadhal was caught between being a full fledged comic caper in the lines of Uday’s ‘Ok Ok’ and a full-on family drama in the lines of Nayan’s ‘Yaaradi nee mohini’! It tried to be both, but sadly failed to create the impact of either!
As a rom-com, it was a field day for Santhanam all the way, and he did put all his might to make the movie entertaining! As a family drama, the story did have potential for quite a lot of seasoned actors, but without any freshness in the script or pace in the screenplay, it miserably fell short!

Finally, IKK turned out to be just ‘another’ cliched family drama, sugar coated outside with the successful Uday-Santhanam chemistry, which worked partially! You might want to give this one a shot, if you are someone who would be happy- having a few laughs, giggling on a handful of ‘intelligent’ jokes, clapping at some inane sexist pokes, rolling your eyes on some ‘done to death’ sentiments, ogling at the pretty damsel, Nayan, and awing at some splendid scenic locales which spring out of nowhere, all in a single movie.
Whats the point of remaking a film? I had my own views supporting it, and some arguments against it, but this film for sure questioned a lot of them!
First of all, I was one of those small town guys who didn’t get the chance, or later the inclination to catch up with Band Baaja Baaraat! But, I did hear some ‘hearty’ word of mouth going around, and when a regional remake was announced, I decided not to take the pains of downloading it and wait for the ‘local’ version!

But, rather, in an anticlimactic turn of sorts, it panned out as to be ‘one of those times’ when I was left wondering what the whole fuss was all about! Maybe, I chose to saw the artificial, made up and ‘plastic’ version! Here was a lead man, who spoke Telugu in the name of Tamil, a lead girl who looked and dressed like a North Indian, and a barrage of characters who all seemed like they were lifted from every possible state in India. The core issue-plot between the couple, which the entire film was supposed to be based on, seemed so lifeless, silly and insignificant, that it made it really tough for me to root for them. I couldn’t get involved in the film at all…but, in my defense, I did try!
The Hindi version, according to my friends, was colorful, had a feisty ravishing heroine and a fresh theme. Aaha Kalyanam was no doubt colorful, did have a pretty new theme, but walking out of the theater, I felt I had just watched the dubbed, slightly ‘boring’ version of Band Baaja Baaraat!
Nani sleepwalked through his role and mouthed some cliched broken English one-liners. Certainly, not one of his better films. Vani Kapoor on the other hand, looked gorgeous and emoted well, surprising us with a lot of restraint at times. The strong portrayal of the heroine, who has a head of her own, puts her career and aspirations before emotions and takes her own decisions, was a welcome contrast to the way modern girls are typecast in mainstream cinema. Chinmayee with her voice modulation lent a whole new level of maturity to the role.

With this very average portrayal of the male lead, the lead girl who in spite of a spirited performance falling flat in lip-syncing her dialogues, silly jokes which don’t give a damn about evoking smiles, a shallow wafer-thin script, and complete lack of any sort of local fervor, the film was just barely watchable for its colorful grand sets and feel-good theme!
Coming out of the movie, I was left with one lingering question echoing in my head! Why a Band Baaja Baaraat with a Telugu hero and a Hindi heroine? Why couldn’t have they just dubbed and released it in the first place!? If you have watched the original, you have no business even contemplating watching this one. If you haven’t, you could just watch it for its colorful sets, a somewhat ‘fresh’ theme and a beautiful heroine. Average fare!“How will you react, if you are
