Imsai Arasan

Imsai Arasan… clearly a master move by Shankar Productions. Off late no one in the industry had tried to create a history movie and S productions aptly judged the profit such a film could make if properly delivered and the team behind pulikesi has done a neat job on their front. A commendable performance by vadivelu, clearly one of his best. Don’t expect pulikesi to be an out and out comedy film something of the likes Winner or Giri. This is a film which has a habitué comedian performing the lead role and that doesn’t guarantee a full length fun film. That is one damaging image this film has, people expect a laugh riot and come to the theatre, the result - - disappointing. Let me make that clear, this is not a full length laugh riot, this film like others has a message (do other films have?) And like any other movie, here too the lead fight, romances, does comedy, cries, throws emotions. I should say I was surprised when I saw this had a dual role for Vadivelu. There were actually certain sequences which were really very boring like the introductory song for the big brother vadivelu or to put it in another way, pulikesi was entertaining and not his big brother. But the big brother (I forgot the name for him) paved us way what an actor Vadivelu was. The film is a hit and that is a fact now, theatres are full even on Monday mornings. The big plus this film has is, it attracts the family crowd very easily. Songs aren’t that impressive, the kick off song was good, but that too the first stanza only and one more song which has vadivelu and tejashree (man, she was beautiful in this movie) was ok kind of a thing, the rest of the songs were damn bore. This film doesn’t have any separate comedy tracks as such and all are implied fun, timely jokes only. Don’t expect anything big. I would not say this film is a great time pass but stil you could watch it and have fun ( if you dont find it funny also Just have a watch) . This film is worth watching for the way it has been made and for its unique attempt to bring such a movie after a long time. If you got all what i said, Ka Ka ka po ( watch the film for its meaning ) Imsai Arasan - Wednesday, July 26, 2006 -

Da Vinci Code

After much hypes and struggles this movie at last made its way to hit the big screen, having heard mixed responses I decided to watch it at any cost coz I wanted to see how this movie was made. Having read the book my exceptions were very high and I have been waiting for months for the court to clear the case so that I catch a glimpse of how the book is transformed into a movie. While reading the book, this thought would have struck many, that to watch it in big screen would be a sure entertainer. Images went pass by as was I turning pages of the book and like many even I read about the opus dei, the priory of sin after reading the Da Vinci code and wanted to know how true was the data given in the book. But after seeing it in the big screen I should say I was disappointed. The script i.e. the book was just incomparable to what was on the screen. The Da vinci code as a film is a great effort in every sense, that too in particular the art director of the film should be given a credit above the rest. He has done a tremendous job. The role for each person fits aptly. Da Vinci Code as a film separately fails but when it is seen from another perspective that this movie has been drawn from a book, the team behind the movie has given full justice for the book. My opinion stands like this, if u have read the book, the film wont impress you to the extent the book did, you will have the satisfaction of watching something which you have read, if you have not read the book, you just cant understand the film or to put in another way, if u read the book after the movie, you will clearly understand tat many pages in the book have been exempted.
