'Poo' is a simple love story set in a rustic mileu of Sivakasi. Adapted from the Tamil short story, 'Veyyilodu Poi,' by Chelvan, it revolved around Mari (Parvathy Menon) and her love for her cousin Thenkarasa (Srikanth) since her childhood days.
Mari works in a crackers factory while Thenkarasa, pursues engineering in Chennai. Thenkarasa's father, a bullock cart owner and a hard working soul nurtures aspirations for his son.
Surya (Surya) the son, goes down memory lane when he hears about his father's demise, while on a rescue mission in his role as a major. The story unfolds from the time, his father Krishnan (Surya) and mother Malini (Simran) met in college and fell love. And from his childhood days it moves on to his days in college and adulthood.
Aegan, the directorial debut of choreographer Raju Sundaram is a total let down even to the hardcore fans of Ajith, leave alone the occasional movie-goers. The film falters in many aspects that go to make a crowd-pleasing movie. It has a very weak story and raises more questions than it answers. There is not a single character to root for, and a climax that is like a cop out rather than a smooth, convincing end. Raju Sundaram has taken the plot's crux from SRK starrer and box office hit "Main Hoon Na" and has heartbreakingly remade it badly.
Hari has eschewed his trademark corny one-liners and induced his male lead Bharat to sweat constructively for his latest offering's success. And Bharat has shined in a role that would have done more established stars Ajith or Vijay proud.
This seems to be a good time for erstwhile Mani Ratnam assistants to
start off on their own. A couple of weeks back we had Jeyam Kondaan and
now we have Mudhal Mudhal Mudhal Varai. Now, Mudhal Mudhal Mudhal
Varai (M3V) is poles apart from Jeyam Kondaan or from any film that has
released in the recent past.
Action King Arjun is back, this time with Durai, where he has handled the story and screenplay departments in addition to playing the lead. Arjun films are almost always targeted at his core audience, fans who love to see him in action, with a good dose of humor and glamour thrown in and this has been working quite well for the actor over a period of time.
Producer-director Chandrashekar’s 66th flick Pandhayam has Nithin Sathya in the lead. Nithin who was careful in selecting the right script in his earlier films appears to have slipped this time.
Shantanoo Bagyaraj's debut film 'Sakarakatti' comes across as a lackluster film with a screenplay that fails to impress right through. Though the young actor seems bubbly, his efforts have been wasted with contrived dialogues and clichéd sequences.
K.P. Jagannaath's 'Raman Thediya Seethai' lives up to the expectations of a clean family entertainer. A neat screenplay with some slick direction makes this tale come to life. The protagonist is on a quest to find an apt bride but then he is haunted by a rather embarrassing past.
Romance can do wonders in a man's life. It can make a man or it can even break a man. Debutant director Prasad has chronicled the life of a youth, who life takes a huge turn after he develops a romance in ‘Kadhalil Vizhunthen’. The film-maker has passed out in flying colors and deserves credit for going about his work in a professional manner.
