#Raayan was technically very good. Cinematography, music, superbly choreographed action (special mention to the fight in a hospital room), editing - were outstanding. Everyone in the cast delivered also
Liked both the director & the actor in Dhanush in #Raayan. 2nd half felt a bit masala-ish compared to the 1st but both had a nice mix of small moments and bigger sequences
Maharaja is an example how a clever, tight screenplay can turn a cliched story into a very engaging film. Some convenient plot devices felt a bit lazy. But the screenplay was well though out, the twists and red herrings worked and the climax packed a strong punch
After the recent onslaught of violence - my prev movie was Monkey Man - Premalu was a welcome break. Kept me smiling throughout. Mamitha was fabulous and dialogs were natural & witty. On the flip side, wish Aadhi had been less of a caricature.
#Parking was well-paced and engaging until the long drawn-out end. The ego clash that took friendly neighbors to very dark places was built up well though the realism in the initial portions took a hit as the stakes increased. MS Bhaskar was the standout in a great cast
@rmurali2012 Not surprised that it reminded you of a Kamal film :) But no, it didn't. Maybe because the son was played by a different actor? The movie that immediately came to mind was actually Thanga Pathakkam!
@rmurali2012 The heist, though it had Rajni at his most stylish, looks-wise, didn't fit in too well. The flashback was too short to make an impact. But yes, the climax was a banger and made the film finish on a high
@filby The mass scene staying with me after 1st watch is where Varma's men turn on him when Thalaivar walks into his den. His walk, the men falling at his feet and following him, his kick sending Varma flying back in his chair all with alappara song in the bg
