Veyil heavily focused and the screens burn with desire, S Pictures fourth hit in a row. Takes off with a stupendous violent killing that you kind of think you have come to yet another gangster story, but you are proved wrong before the next film rolls on. We have seen so many versions of Pasupathi, watch yet another one here, romancing around is also his cup of tea ,that’s how he establishes himself in the first half. The film is all about how a lad escapes from his family, runs away, how he challenges life at every point in his growth. Well if you think veyil is too slow to heat you up, Dhoooooooom, here it is so soothing to watch Ash and Hrithik, but you get heated whenever either ash or bipasu turns up. Dhoom is of the genre No Logic Only Magic and this time around no P C Sorkar, magic show is performed by Hrithik, 6 slabs in his stomach and yet he is able to flex himself fine to the tunes of Dhoom Machale, even the basket ball in his hand seems like a tennis ball and so is the character to him, no body but him makes the film interesting.
If the above of the type where you go stretch, relax and watch, well Lucky Number Slevin is of the type where you have to be awake for every word that are uttered on screen. As such the film unfolds in the last half hour, so if you miss anything at the start you lose everything at the end. Simple Story, analytical screenplay and that’s Lucky Number Slevin for you, it’s the impressive how the title is also framed for the movie. A single line story visualized in multiple frames, that’s the movie for you. But for American Pie 5, to be very frank it’s a diluted porn film.

There are many things line up for me, first is Pokkiri Pongal, the music inspires me, and that too the opening song, Pokkiri Pongal, I can imagine now how the crowd is going to enjoy themselves for this intro song for Vijay. Vasantha Mulai, unofficial remix of the old song, I need not give an unveil for this, its reverberated everywhere and all radio channels are thumped with this vocal. Dole Dole song, this was a major hit in telugu and I think it will be recreated in tamil a well, expect a stylish dance steps for this from Vijay, Suchithra voice was grace and elegant for this one and also for the song, En chella Peru Apple which sounded more like the May Madham Song from jay jay also sung by Suchithra, but our all thota bhoopathi is ready for everything … Nee muthamonnu koduthaal sounds like old MGR film songs and Mambazhamam mambazham, is one of the typical Vijay’s Romantic gana song, which has the ingredients for a foot thumping number for him. In a nutshell the film songs are like tailor made for him and for vijay fans. The lyrics for Vasantha Mulai was impressive, it was comical and both romantic. Kushi Edupa patha enga allu, eppo melodyki thavtaru. Kadhal Enbathu aadhaiyai pola night muluka mulikum , Pennin Edupum Eraivannum ondru appa appa than theiyum , endra sila pala thatuvankal pala mari pozithu erukinrana.
Well I started with the films that I am lined up with, Pokkiri tops the list but I have to wait for Pongal for the same, then there are The Return of the King, Reservoir Dogs, Usual Suspects, The Departed, Requiem for a Dream etc:-
