Lingaa (2014)
Strictly only for Superstar Fans; But who isn't a SUPERSTAR Fan....?
The wait is finally over as superstar Rajinikanth is back with Lingaa, after a long gap of four years.
Like always, Lingaa is once again a complete Rajini show all the way. Right from the word go, it is Rajni and his sheer screen presence which holds you throughout the film. Rajini excels in every department, and carries the entire film on his shoulders.
He is superb as the royal heir in the second half, and is okay in the emotional scenes. First half of the film is entertaining, and has all the necessary commercial elements.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the film is the excessive length. The flashback episode in the second half takes for ever to finish making it quite tedious.Second half is quite predictable, and has not many twists and turns.
As per many people, The climax is not good.
But that is the way the fans expect to end a SUPERSTAR movie...............
Thalavattam (1986)
Priyadarshan wants to be Milos Forman
One must watch this movie, if he didn't watch "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" directed by Milos Forman. I think Priyadarshan worked hard to make a good Malayalam version of the movie & to include a romance part in between. What made the Malayalam version the best is Mohanlal's performance. But I feel very pity on the director who hardly tried to expose his own caliber and always tries to copy paste other languages classics. Everybody knows that he is a good director, but I think that he is a lazy guy. If someone takes a list of his copy paste movies, that number may be comparative to his number of hit movies. But he made Mohanlal to be the top actor and Mohanlal made him the top director.
