VIKRAM(2022) MOVIE REVIEW

Vikram 
Vikram(old one)  is one of those highly underrated movies made in Tamil which was way ahead of its times for the common audience.
I am a mad fan of that movie.
Me and couple of my college friends would just keep discussing about that always and it was one movie that could actually had a story worthy of making a remake in the current year and would still be relevant.
Old movie had some brilliant actors and Kamal had an equally stylish,charismatic, comedic villain like Satyaraj.
Was very excited when I got to know about Lokesh making Vikram new one with Kamal.Ensemble Star cast announcement  only created more expectations.When I watched it, the movie definitely did not let me down. Brilliant story line and it beautifully weaves a new story from where it ended in Kaithi.And add to it the the gone missing old Agent Vikram coming into it . Amazing thinking and need to appreciate Lokesh Kanagaraj just only for that.
And when it's also made as a movie without losing anything of that. It's perfect execution.
And since Kaithi and KGF I have become a fan of stunt choreographer twins Anabariv.They probably are the best in the business right now.
They are great in this as well.
Picturisation is way too God just like Kaithi.Dark just feels so beautiful in the movie.
BGM is very good but call me biased I still feel Sam CS is the best in all Lokesh Kanagaraj's film.Not sure why he is not using him.
But to give importance to all characters big or small and make us remember is something I like about Lokesh earlier movies as well and this is no different.
So overall it's way more worth than the money spent on the tickets 🙌🏽

And this part is only for the mad fans of Old Vikram especially Satyaraj.

To be honest for all the rave reviews about VJS, I don't feel it was anything special from him.
I can watch old Vikram repeatedly just for the way Satyaraj Nonchalantly acts with an amazing cool swag(More than Kamal). Nothing compared to the kind of presence Satyaraj had in old version.Probably if it was done it would been a repeat of what VJS did in master and Director wanted to avoid.Also the way he speaks is completely irritating and is hard to understand most of the times.
But I guess Director revealed he tried someone else before casting VJS,not sure who that was. But in my view had GuruSomaSundaram of Joker, Minnal Murali fame had acted it would have been lifted to a whole different level.

Aayirathil Oruvan (Tamil 2010)-Truly one in a thousand

I feel goosebumps while writing a review about this movie.Such has been the impact of this magnum opus in Tamil Cinema Standards directed by one of my favourite directors Selvaraghavan. Amazing,Superb,Fantabulous,Brilliant,Out of the world i guess if i had the choice i will just keep googling for adjectives. I believe for first time in the history of Tamil Cinema a movie has touched upon a theme which has left so many historians and people who have read about history flabbergasted.I personally have read history much earlier and still had the same puzzle for this question.Many learned scholars of history are still to come up witha theory about "How the great Chola Dynasty which at its peak had territories that included 70 % of India,Ceylon,Far East suddenly vanished into thin air?".There seems to be no descendent of the dynasty.It is this question Mr.Selvaraghavan attempts to answer.I may not be a learned film critic,but in my view he has done great justice to his attempt back...

Meyyazhagan a beautiful movie(Glorius Past)

Meyyazhagan. I did not notice about this movie untill my mother bombarded our family whatsapp group with youtube videos on this movie related interviews. She mentioned in our group in chat "Vijay!we have to definitely watch this movie.This is set in Thanjavur.They are showing Needamangalam." My mother rarely feels excited about movies.This time she felt because it was about Tanjavur. So immediatley I booked tickets for 2nd day itself as my brother was also in India for a meeting. I watched the 3 hour movie and felt very  moved.It was very very relatable to me.My mother side is from a village near Kovilvenni.This place is prominently mentioned and becomes a key part of the movie.Its where the fiercesome war between Cholas and Cheras were fought and referred to as Venniparanthalai.I was born in a town Ammapet one stop before Kovilvenni and spent many of my summer holidays in my mothers village.  While watching the movie we were pleasantly surprised not just Needaman...

The Village

well you guys must have seen the movie called "The Vilage" directed by Manoj K Shyamalan.I am a great fan of Shyamalan's work.I have seen all his feature films save "Lady in the water".Of all the films he has done i like "The Village" the most.Ya i know that u wud be shocked coz its one of the most underrated works. I guess its mainly because most of them were not able to understand the "The Village"story.Its a story which has been daringly concieved.Its close to my heart because I have always felt myself if something like this can happen. It looks like a period story which it is not.Thats the beauty of the story.The village is a place which consists of a few number of families.They don go beyond their village coz they are of afraid "Those they dont speak off".Its a superb setting for a mystery movie.And everybody lives happily untill the Hero is stabbed and the medicine has to come from outside the village.The blind heroine takes ...
