Puli Murugan Movie Review

Rajini Murugan has nothing do with Rajinikanth, however Pulimurugan has much to do with PULI - Tigers.

         

Have you ever been through a Pugmark Trail - in an open jeep, safari into those expensive scapes of Bengal Tigers in an early morning. The jeep stops suddenly on a canyon creating a great space for silence, and friend of yours nags you from behind and ask you in his lowest voice, even lower than being whisper, asking you is it there ? ? pointing a finger towards a bush in which just a fallen leave courts a relationship with its old friend leave in the plant. If you enjoy such thrill this movie is a Chiken soup for your soul.

Releasing on 07-Oct this movie already has created a grand audi for itself and is on its way to become a next big Mallu-gift to other Woods ( Bollywood / Kollywood / Tollywood ) of the Country. This Movie is absolute entertainer, with a legible Plot.

Plot :Tell me those elements if you have to make a movie out of Super Green Forest. A Noble Tribe, A common Problem, a Saviour or 2, Opium Trade, liquor, Forest Rangers - their Menace, Sandalwood, Suggling. This movie has it all in addition this time the main attraction the common Villain for the Village this time is a Man-eater. Director Vysakh must have decided that you may be just bored watching Man Animal Conflict in a well researched plot, so he adds 2, no 3, no no 4  Villains who are Men too.

Mohanlal sure is the only one in the country who effortlessly can try such a experimental plot, and yet succeed. At Age of 56 he has done some breath taking stunts calling for a standing ovation ( not the Kala Master one, you dumbo ).  He carries the entire load of the movie on his shoulder with peerless screen presence. This movie is one more answer to the curious question, why the industry calls him a Complete actor. The Actor has to be credited to have done the entire 20 mins climax stunt sequence by himself without a Body Double.  The actor direct Lal  too, adds value to the movie my his acting skill.

Personally i am a Fan of Peter Hein, and in this movie his Stunts are the second hero, specially both the fight sequences that come after Interval are Great. And the opening stunt sequence with the Tiger
 is excellent. It is the same stunt sequence in which, the Computer graphics and Motion Capture tech team of this movie has set a new high standard for the movie industry of the entire nation.

It is not only Pulimurugan in the movie who carries a sharp edged weapon, the editor has to be appreciated for having one with much sharper edges - Johnkutty Kudos. Shaji Kumar also has created beautiful visuals with his camera, however it follows the rote of angles is many areas. cinematography ( if you have intrest ) would remind you Raavanan ( The Manirathnan one`s ) and Urumi or Ashoka  all from Santosh Sivan`s Lenses. Except that the cinematographer allows the Green to look Greener and not adding a Blue hue to it, is equally appreciable.

Malayalam movie have an edge to undergo a thorough homework and to speak details across every frame, however this movie fails in that expectation, it has meagre contribution to the core plot of Man Vs Animal conflict. Vysakh should have spent his IQ also in eye for detailing for example on a pit stop for ferries on a less explored river, hero is cited to drink a Tea with Milk, but it should have been the Holy Kattanchaya - Black tea. Forest ranger catches a glimpse of suspect ( Lal when returning to his village ) however doesnt notices the Bags filled new clothing with a Logo on it.

Kamalini Mukherjee has played the female protagonist who is sure less irritating than a Big bike guy who tails a Signal behind an Ambulance in Service. Namitha adds Glamour to this like a over sized Hummer kept in a unattended assembly area of a Spencers Mall, both by its significance and volume.

Jagapati babu has lot of good performances to his credit in the past, but this movie does not get into that list. Throughout the movie he walks like his head is tightly bolted to his shoulder blades and in the gruesome pain he fails to remember something called Expression on his face. Morbid is the only word for sum of all expression to sum of all villains in this movie.

The movie is not another movie in this movie, this is something i going to cherish for the days to come. Having said all this, the movie sure is an impish take on Man-Animal conflict, it extends itself being criminal in a scene where the protagonist justifies his act of Killing Tigers, which certainly has my personal Condemnations.

 If you going to be watching this movie on bazzaar DVD, or waiting for this Christmas to be telecasted on your Television, be happy being Penny wise. This movie is must watch, Only in theatres

PINK MOVIE REVIEW

“R U a Virgin ? “  The Lawyer questions the Woman standing the trial.

The hearing judge,  helps the girl, not to answer the question if she doesn’t want it.

Again the lawyer questions “ when did you Lose your viriginity”

The Judge intervenes and questions the lawyer where are these questions leading to.

The Lawyer again Asks the Woman “ did you get paid for it “

Such inconvenient questions ablaze across every scene in this Movie – PINK. 

The Lawyer was strikingly performed by Amitabh Bachan. And Tapsee has found her mettle with her role in Pink. Kirti kulhari also stands tall in many places with a strong performance.

Anirudh roy chowdury, with this movie, I believe shall laugh his way to national Award for this year. I feel the same for the Super Sharp Bodhaditya Banerjee. His Edits are the movies strong points.

Its essential movie every urban girl should take time to watch it with parents, and  Friends.  PINK the name of the movie means Forceful or coercive occupation of a Vagina by an Penis.

By knowing the meaning of the movies title itself you know - PINK is only for bravehearts not for faint hearteds. Do watch it only if you dare to.

KUTTIP PULI - MOVIE REVIEW

   KUTTI PULI - yeahh, its not KUTTI PULI, if you see see some one writing, as such, roar at them.

Indeed it was Gold devaraj`s voice, that pulled me into this movie - 'Thaatiyaru thaatiyaru' song, indeed was a well orchestrated effort. Vairamuthu has no doubt made this song and also the "Aruvakkaran" song well.

As the name and trailer suggest, the movie is no new-  blood bath - "Kill Bill" style effort in Tamil. This movie is yet another effort in re-telling a vernacular folklore story, except than the treatmen,t the Director has venture for its Climax. This is again eulogising a loaner, rugged, unreliable middle aged Lad ( Oh yes, Sasikumar is the male no doubts, but still facts are facts, the story is about a Lad, not aged Man ).

Storyline - Single son - Kuttipuli ( Sasi ) of Widow mother -Deivana ( Saranya Ponvanna ). Puli is ready to fight anymoment, as Shakespeare describes in his poetry - All the World is a Stage. The movie begins with How Deivana ( Saranya ) was widowed. Then the colour montage begins with Grown up son and mom, where our Kuttippuli`s Mother struggling  hard to get him married and Kuttippuli strolls not to get married, having an unsaid Big bang theory - I am surrounded by Danger everywhere so, i am un marriageable " - Oh my god. ( Thats a Satire my friend )

In between there are illustration Kuttippuli`s gladiatorship and valour, enemity. The story is supposed take twist with introduction of the female Lead - Bharathi ( Lakshmi Menon ) and her pious love for Kuttippuli, but it doesn`take any new twist at all. Its really astonishing to see Girls ( both on-screen and off- screen ) fall for a petty street fighter, head to heel, on Love.

Yes for all those who gather there on the show for this pious faced, New beauty - lakshmi menon, there is a ( bad ) surprise for you all in the movie. Specially in the opening scene itself. She has lost her charm just in 2 movies, is really painful. Suddenly she looks, not what she is ( neither i dont understand the meaning of this Sentence, leave it there buddy ! ! ! ). By the way what happened to her 10th results ?? ?

The Screenplay is welldone for a debutant, and also the characters except the leads. The story is mainly featured on three pivotal characters Kuttipuli, His mom, the female lead. Somehow all the three characters lack depth. There were lot of scopes in all the technical departments to make this a better venture, that comment does not exclude the Music by Ghibran.

Sure, this movie will make its way in the box office, without any difficult, however this Movie has nothing new to offer to you, if you are regular movie goer, except than the so-proclaimed climax  of the movie.

If your next bus or flight is only by 5.00 in the morning and you are scared to get asleep, of missing your bus, take a chance and watch this movie.

Kuttippuli - A half satisfying Hunt.

CHANCE PE DANCE - Movie Review

Have you ever, ever watched a movie about a Guy from Delhi in search of his heroic success in the Tinsel town. Yes this movie does also speaks about the same CINOSAUR age concept without any new approach to it. A higly talented ( dancing ) guy, poor family at Delhi, Dream of a Hero, Mumbai, A beautiful lover girl, rigourous efforts, retaliating failures, The End with Success. Yess this is the story line of the movie. Bothways if you have seen or have not seen this kinda movie with Shahid returning after his Kaminey suceess. so do you have a choice.

Ken ghosh claims that the script was developed having Shahid on mind, it would have been a better if he would have had a innovation in the concept rather than just toasting Bread Slice with an Iron box. Shahids hard work throughout the movie in Dance steps, growing to the next level in acting, making an Eight pack Ab are to be regarded however i doubt those will bailout this movie till next Friday. Genelia had defnitely under utilised a golden chance pe dance though stealing it from Jiah Khan. Camera and Music helps us against the communal disharmony of Yawing !!!.
The foot loose of the movie would defnitely glue you to your seats only if you have intrest over Disco, Jazz, freestyle and Dirty Dancing. Though not if you have seen movies like 'Step up' and 'Dirty Dancing' or if you have watched few recent telugu flicks of Allu arvind.
Lets wait till Kites to Dane again this year. Before which we will meet again for 'VEER' 'RANN' and 'MY NAME IS KHAN' i believe
