Viswaroopam

Direction   :  Kamal Hassan
Writer       :  Kamal Hassan
Starring     :  Kamal Hassan, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah

Viswanath is a Kathak dancer and a dance teacher. Due to some personal issues with Viswanath, his wife Nirupama falls in love with her company boss Deepak. In order to create a strong reason to end the relationship between Viswanath, Nirupama sends a detective to follow him to find whether he is interacting with any other girls.  While following Viswanath, the detective finds out something suspicious about him and the story develops in to a new level.

This is definitely Kamal Hassan's Vswaroopam. Kamal as usual lived literally in all the 3 roles: Dancer, terrorist & Indian agent. Once again he proved that he is the best. You will also witness Kamal as a brilliant filmmaker. His direction and script is outstanding. . An Indian movie delivered in Hollywood standard. Pooja Kumar's acting is quite impressive especially the dubbing given to her is so perfect. Andrea did her part well. Rahul Bose played the villain character extremely well. The cinematography is also mind blowing. 

B & C center audience will feel bit boring due to a lot of English & Urdu dialogues. A big respect and salute to Kamal for taking such an effort and pain in delivering a masterpiece. This is just the beginning, movie is still to be continued in part II.

Kammath And Kammath

Direction    :  Thomson
Writers      :  Udayakrishna - Sibi K Thomas
Starring     :  Mammootty, Dileep, Rima Kallingal, Karthika Nair

At last the wait is over for Kammath brothers. Megastar Mammootty and Janapriya Nayakan Dileep starring Kammath And Kammath is out.

Kammath brothers came to Palakkad to buy a hotel which was closed due to unhygienic conditions. They bought  the hotel and reopened it. Following this they had to face several consequences from a hotel owner Sahib who was running a hotel just opposite to their hotel. The story develops like this.

The chemistry between Kammath brothers (Mammootty & Dileep) worked out well. The slang they used were funny and interesting. Both Mammooty and Dileep did perform well and entertained the viewers. Baburaj was another highlight of the movie. He was simply superb and his comedy timings and dialogues were perfect. Rima Kallingal did her job well and Karthika Nair was very attractive in the movie.

The direction of the movie was good and Thomson succeeded in delivering a mass movie to satisfy both Mammootty and Dileep fans. There is nothing much to talk about the script as every one is familiar with Udayakrishna - Sibi K Thomas scripts. The first half of the movie was entertaining and fast. But he second half was a little bit dragging.

In short Kammath And Kammath is a "Mass Masala Movie" which can be watched once for the beautiful chemistry of Mammootty and Dileep. It has all the essential elements to attract family audiences who are looking for a fun film.

Race 2

Direction    :  Abbas-Mustan
Writer        :  Shiraz Ahmed
Starring      :  Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez

Ranveer (Saif Ali Khan) and Sonia (Bipasha Basu) (In a Cameo) were in love and living their life. But suddenly Sonia get's killed in a mysterious circumstances and Ranveer begins the quest to find her killer. Ranveer is helped by his old friend Robert D'Costa (Anil Kapoor) and his secretary Cherry (Ameesha Patel). Robert D'Costa is no more a Cop but now a refined Club-Owner living a luxurious life with his Fruits.

Ranveer lands up in Turkey where the Indian Mafia is run by Armaan Malik (John Abraham) and his lover Elena (Deepika Padukone). Armaan has his own Revenge Story to tell.

It’s just a pompous wannabe-thriller that is devoid of any logic. It’s a race, we are told, on numerous occasions, by the two leading heroes and their two gorgeous sidekicks, almost trying to justify why they’ve taken two-hours-and-thirty-minutes of our lives. Yet, there’s never a real sense of what they are racing for. Time, money, babes, or cars? While its predecessor, the original ‘Race’, had shown some promise and glimpse of a good plot, ‘Race2’ steers away from any such attempts, and instead focuses on good looks and charm. On the whole, this is just a lazy sequel of Race

Samar

Direction    :  Thiru
Writer        :  Thiru
Starring      :  Vishal, Trisha, Sunaina


Vishal has yet again teamed up with director Thiru and this time for Samar which is a high budget film in their career and Trisha has joined them.

While Trisha plays Maya , Sunaina plays Roopa who lives in Ooty, Manoj Bajpai and J D Chakravarthy will appear as baddies in the movie. Samar is richly shot in forest locales of Chalakudy and Thailand. Vishal plays the role of Shakti, a trekker who goes to Bangkok on a personal work but he gets into unique situations and a problem without his knowledge? How will he come out of the tricky situation forms crux.

Vishal is back with a bang. He was desperately wating for a hit and this time he could deliver it. Well scripted and well directed movie. Director/ writer Thiru really needs appreciation for his effort. The movie is very racy and fast with unexpected twists and suspense. The cinematography was also excellent  Vishal, Trisha, and Sunaina did their part well. The villain roles played by JD Chakravathy, and Manoj Bajpai were extremely powerful and super.

The movie was a bit slow at times and also the music by Yuvan Sankar Raja was not very impressive. These are the negative parts of the movie.

In short Samar is a well executed thriller with all commercial elements. Watch and Enjoy.

Rating    :  3.5/5
Verdict   :  Very Good Thriller.

Eesho is unable to take it anymore and lives with his daughter, convinced that Annamma is still around.

Lal's performance was not up to the expected level. I many places he was a bit boring. Nazariya's performance was good and appreciable. Meghna Raj and Padmapriya had nothing to perform but Pooja Gandhi did a notable performance. The direction and script of the movie was not up to the level.

Mad Dad has nothing great to offer and failed to impress the viewers.
