Thambi - Bold in thoughts
Celebrates its 100th day in Theatre... Celebrations in Banglore.
Seeman seems inspired by the latest cricket sensation Mahendra Singh Dhoni ---like the blasting batsman, Seeman gets his ideas with force and passion And in Madhavan, Seeman has found a willing partner, who is the flesh and blood of the movie, carrying the entire burden on his shoulders.
Seeman has made the story seemingly inspired by the Communist revolutionary Cheguvara. His love for poet Bharathy is also visible at many places where Madhavan's diction and body language reminds one of the poet, who is also known for his revolutionary thoughts on the society. All credit should go to Seeman for his not making any commercial compromise but at the same time making the movie engrossing and entertaining.

On the face of it, he seems inspired by typical Shankar formula screenplay: An individual fighting for the betterment of the society. But Seeman shrewdly brings in Communist philosophies here. Dialogues at certain places are very sharp and are sure to leave an impact on the audience.


Thambi Velu Thondaiman (Madhavan) is an angry youth who stands up against all the evils that he witness in the society in his everyday life. He takes on Sankara Pandian (Biju Menon), a local goonda, who unleashes violence in the city. The sight of fearless Thambi sends fear in the spines of Sanakara Pandian's gang. Thambi resolves to put an end to Sanakra Pandian's activities. He comes across Archana (Pooja), who initially mistakes him to be a gangster for she sees him fighting with a few goondas. Coming to know of his character, she falls for him.
Thambi with the help of a few like-minded friends thwarts the attempts of Sankara Pandian to unleash terror among people. Meanwhile, in a flashback, it is revealed that Thambi's family was killed by Sankara Pandian's gang for Thambi identifies the killer of a youth. The murderer happens to be none other than Sanakara Pandian's brother Shanmuga Pandian (Shanmuga Rajeswaran).
For political mileage, Shankara Pandian unleashes mob violence in the city and Thambi runs around to prevent the disaster. Thambi brings a change in Shankara Pandian's heart and mind. However, his brother, who comes out of prison, runs for Thambi's blood. The rest is all but a riveting climax, which ends on a positive note.
It's Maddy all the way. After a long time, one gets to see Madhavan performing with his expressive eyes. He seems to have put in hard work in his body language, diction and gets the emotions right. A refreshing Madhavan could be seen here. Equally impressive is Biju Menon. The Malluwood star has delivered the goods. Known hitherto as a character actor, he has proved that he can also do action scenes quite comfortably.
Pooja who plays Maddy's ladylove has enough opportunities on the screen and utilizes them well. The rest of the cast including Ilavarasu, Vadivelu, Manivannan and Manobala adds strength to the movie.
Vidyasagar's re-recording and the cinematography of Balasubramanyam are added values to the movie.
Seeman has succeeded in rendering a movie carrying a message that fits the contemporary society. A bold attempt worth watching. However, on the flip side, towards the second-half, few romantic sequences scenes involving Pooja and Madhavan puts brakes on the movie's pace.

A nice song ...From the New hit Something Something...

Jayam Ravi - Strikes again


SOMETHING SOMETHING UNAKKUM ENAKKUM .....Big hit.
Remake of Telugu Film ...
Cast: Jeyam Ravi, Trisha, Richa Pallot, Prabhu, Mani Vannan, Vijaya Kumar, Kanja Karuppu, Kalabhavan Mani, Cochin Haneefa.
Music Director: Devi Sri Prasad
Director: Raja
Production: T.Rama Rao, M.Raja
Director M Raja should be applauded for hand picking a cast that makes the movie worth watching. Trisha stands by herself in the movie and the pretty woman makes the movie unforgettable by her commendable presence. Trisha’s screen presence can well be felt even after you are out of the theatres. Jeyam Ravi is the next name to be mentioned in the cast list. After a couple of flicks that fail to get noticed in the box office, Ravi makes a come back with this. He takes home the honour of playing the young affluent hero in the first half and a simple yet adorable village boy in the latter. The other cast members like Prabhu Bhagyaraj, Geetha, Manivannan, Richa Palod, Tejasree also makes their presence felt with their scintillating performance.
An affluent couple played by Bhagyaraj & Geetha, settled in the UK, flies down to India to attend their close relative’s wedding with the apple of their eyes, their son, Jeyam Ravi. Ravi falls in love with the bride’s best friend Trisha and when the parents discover this, they decide to fly Ravi back to UK. Ravi does a come back but sees trouble in the form of Trisha’s brother Prabhu. The movie narrates the interesting incidents that happen after that and does Ravi win over Trisha’s hand? See it and much more on the silver screen. Good story plus screenplay magic
The director has handled the subject with quite ease and the screenplay sets the movie’s pace faster within twenty minutes of the movie. Raja’s kitty is going to be full in the days to come and ‘Something’ is sure going to be a memorable movie in his career. Seems like the Director has done quite a good research on the pulse of the people coming to cinemas these days and done a brilliant job. Bravo to you Raja.
A bad movie can be made to stand apart from the crowd just with the screenplay; we have examples for the same. But, luckily ‘Something’ has a good story line supported by carefully crafted screenplay, which makes the movie an interesting one. Devi Sriprasad disappoints
Having paid much attention to all the aspects of the movie, seems like the director failed to just notice ‘Devi Sriprasad’. Well he has done his job quite well in two songs and the background score. The rest of the songs just fail to linger in our ears. Hats off to Raja
After a long wait, long pending in the censor board and facing animal welfare boards charges for the usage of animal (a lamb no less) in the movie, and the confusion about it’s name change in the last minute owing to save the entertainment tax, the movie comes across as a refreshing one and does not forget to strike a chord with the audience. Hats off to the director for not banking on just skin show. ‘Something Something’ has everything that can well set the box office collections soaring. Trisha and Jeyam Ravi add a liberal dash of elegance to make ‘Something’ a work worth remembering.
Impressive show with an impressive line of stars.

HAVE FUN

Enjoy...
