Kaala - A Ranjith movie

Kaala To be honest, i did not watch this movie for Rajini but for Ranjith. First thing that stood out in the movie is the grand set of Dharavi.Its very very difficult to find which ones were shot really in Dharavi and the ones in the set. Art director Ramalingam's work definitely deserves praise.Because creating something for fantasy film sometimes could be very easy But to recreate something existing realistically is far more difficult. Second stand out aspect is the casting.It is spot on.Every character is played by people who perfectly fit the role and they have lived the role.Even small roles play something significant than just be props.Amongst supporting cast Anjali Patil (Puyal Charumathi),Manikandan(Lenin),Samuthirakani(valliappan),Dileepan(Selva),Huma Qureshi(Zareena),Thilak(Reporter) and finally Easwari Rao(Selvi) is first among equals among the supporting cast.

Chennai 600028

This is a recent Tamil movie which i watched and got impressed very much.I have always beeen a fan of teen movies or movies which says abt the life of youngsters.i like american pie,euro trip,gal nxt door and movies like dat.Its too far from a teen life of an Indian but still loved watching them.This movie "Chennai 600028" has come as a fresh whiff of air.Its a very real and simple teen movie. Its a bout a group of guys who play street cricket in a particular area in chennai.The bonding they share and the emotions they go through and changes that impact.All things happening is described very truly.The casting is excellent with almost 80 % crew being debutants.So they act without acting(mean overacting avoided).Kudos to the director for the movies and the producer for supporting the director.
