Anniyan (2005)
Anniyan - Not for an Indian (Better watch it n forget it)
(I happen to watch the movie twice on the same day
I liked it during the second time
Donno y
.!)
Anniyan Shankar scores once again, but v feel something like seeing Shewag hitting a century with more than 200 balls.
First the Story,
Vikram is a typical Iyengar/Lawyer who fights for the useless consumer cases in the court and loves (1 sided) Sadha on the other side. He wants everything to happen as per rules n every1 to follow their duties. Fails in both the attempts of changing the society and getting the love of Sadha. So, becomes a multiple personality guy (3 characters in whole). Ambhi (Iyengar Vikram) just follows his day-to-day activities, Anniyan (protagonist vikram) kills every1 whom Amby feels like have done some crime, Remo (sexy dude vikram) loves Sada and dances for 2 songs.
In the climax every1 proves that he is a multiple personality guy and nobody is able to cure him (maybe they can contact Dr.Saravanan from Chandramukhi) n the court was not able to punish him (has any Tamil movie punished the heroes
?) and Vikram continues his rampage of killing Peoples.
If u haven't watched Matrix, Me Myself & Irene, Chandramukhi, Tamilan, then here is a brand new movie for u
.
What do u normally expect from a Shankar's Movie
.. Invincible Hero, Story out of Realism, Time-Freezing (Matrix) camera shots, protagonist who goes after society because of a personal disaster, Half-the-Budget spent on Songs
..rit
.? Then Shanker has given everything u need (has painted a whole village in a song, has used 128 cameras for shooting a time-freezing shot, hero gets energized even after sacked to death etc).
Although u have a feel of Shanker's movie in the end, It is Vikram who steals the whole damn show
.. Fits almost all his get-ups. Particularly, in the climax when his two characters comes out while fighting with PrakashRaj (forget this if u have watched Me,Myself n Irene already). He also marks a milestone in the Tamil movie industry by changing his costumes not only in songs but in fights too
..
I can bet with anyone who can prove Sadha is beautiful
. I bet I win. Vivek is excellent
breaks the speed breakers of the movie. Prakashraj is a cop who tries to solve all the cases by changing his get-up to a public person (So that he can interact with public easily)
. But never interacts with the public n also never cracks the case. But, prakashraj - Nallavara
.? Keetavara
.? Theriyalayepaaa
..
Shanker has shown his fingers on almost everyone (in the past movies)
rit from the Chief minister to all govt officials, politicians, Police etc etc
. n here he points towards us
I mean the Indian Citizens. He even proves that killing a guy who didn't stop his car to save a person's life is right
.! (While not considering the person who actually did the accident) also killing a person (Charlie) who actually does nothing
I Mean NOTHING
. (romba romba too much)
Sujatha (Dialogues) has screwed each n ever1 who r not doing their duties
Harris jayaraj gets a best of luck for at least his next movie
Even though u r going to watch the movie at any cost, I can recommend u to watch it if,
1. U have not seen the Matrix fights and Jim Carrey in Me, Myself n Irene. 2. U have not seen Indian, Mudhalvan and Gentleman Yet
.. n eager to know who is shanker
. 3. Want to know how A.R.Rahman n Shanker use to do wonders in the past
4. U believe that u r following rules n do Ur duties (coz, he proves everybody is not following the rules and not doing their duties) 5. How Shanker can become a great Business-man (Spends 5 times the normal budget on other producers n spends 1/10 for his own-production like Kadhal)
Chandramukhi (2005)
Chandramukhi - A worth watching Family entertainer (Suspense n Thriller), but not for 'Die-Hard' rajini fans
SuperStar is back...... But, like the Ganguly in an Indian Team,..... The team has performed well, but there is no 'Captian's Charisma' as v normally look for....
The story is about a character called 'Chandramukhi' whose soul remains in an old Bungalow after her(and her lover) brutal murder by the king of the Bungalow.... As u can guess, Prabu's family (His wife Jo) comes to the bungalow along with our superstar (friend of Prabhu) after around 150 years. Jo, interested in finding some mysterious things, unlocks the terror room (as they say) and the problem starts. The movie ends when our Superstar sends back the soul of chandramukhi to peace and ties a knot with nayan Tara.
If u expect some punch dialogs, cigarettes, invincible rajinikanth, cruel villain...... then this is not a movie for u.
Rajini has replaced his B&H cigarettes with Boomer bubble-gum, and punch dialogs with dialogs referring himself to god (His name itself is Saravanan). Vadivelu makes us laugh as-usual. I still wonder how they made huge prabhu hide behind all the other characters (has no big screen appearance). Poor nayan Tara, dances very well, as v can see her only in songs. Finally Jyothika, as (over) acted as-usual.
Rajini's introduction starts with an Chin-kick to a gunda with camera freezing and rotating around rajini with his leg still in the air (Matrix shot). Rajini fans starts shouting there and there only.
Rajini has taken lot of risks, like hi-flying kicks (ofcourse with the aid of the rope) and walking against huge air blower (Wig designer gets a good applause, as it is not flying-off).
Each n Every rajini movie has a punch line or style which he uses thru out the movie. In this it is 'lakalakalakalaka.....' (V r getting smiles instead of the things v use to get).
Gone r the times, when v searched for any characters in the screen other than rajini, instead end-up searching for rajini in the movie.
I can recommend u to watch the movie if u,
1. want to see a younger and smart looking rajini (compared to Baba) 2. want to analyze what (r who made) rajini to change from his mass style movies. 3. want to see Jyothika without make-up (U can see this in the climax)
