The withering, never-ending season of gangster movies continues in Tamil films with Thotta, starring Jeevan and Priyamani.
With Chitiram Pesuthadi, Mysskin announced his arrival as a name to reckon with.
Even the Italian masters of neo-realism, who tried to make art as close to life as possible, never took realism so literally as director Karu Palaniappan does.
Billa leaves the intelligence behind but packs in cool action and cinematography.
Oram Po, starring Arya, Pooja and Lall, is a lighthearted film inspired by the auto races held on the outskirts of Chennai. This is Tamil cinema's The Fast and the Furious, but on three wheels and running on much less octane.
Unlike his directorial ventures, actor Arjun production of Thavam suffers from inept direction and a poor plot. Arun Vijay's acting is insipid in a flick that smells of a tax write off for the producer.
SVe Shekher launches his son Ashwin Shekhar in Vegam, a pseudo-thriller 'inspired' by 2004's Cellular. One ferverently wished however, that he should have opted for a low-budgeted comedy instead of this pseudo-thriller.
The film is a family entertainer, and steers clear of sex and violence. But somehow, it also guarantees that many of the main characters in the film act incredibly stupid.
A note of caution, though. Be prepared for a bit of melodrama and the ghost of Balachander.
The movie is frivolous, unfunny and totally avoidable.
