Movies 2008 A Review

Anjaathe

A fascinating tale of friendship going awry when fate crosses its path between two friends, Anjaathey is steadily gaining momentum at the box office. Narain’s role and performance as a waywardly youngster becoming a dutiful police officer caught between his duty and the skewed friendship is winning accolades. Same with debutant Ajmal and Prasanna’s powerhouse performances. Anjaathey proved that small films could make big if the plot and script are rock solid.

Privom Santhippom

Pirivom stayed in multiplexes for quite sometime- the longevity of which could be attributed to Karu Pazhaniappan’s adorable story telling and Cheran – Sneha’s inescapable chemistry. The family drama has proved that decent family entertainers still hold value among the audiences.

Kannum Kannum

While breezy love stories becoming a thing of the past replaced by stylishly crafted big budget action adventures, Kannum Kannum proved a refresher of sorts. The Prasanna – Udayathara starrer is being noticed and is catching up among the multiplex movie buffs.

Bheema

Bheema released amidst soaring expectations breaking an almost two-year sabbatical of Vikram. The movie had an impressive opening but could not sustain itself at the box office and finally settled for an average mark. Collections were not as impressive as the budget.

Indiralogathil Na Azhagappan

Vadivelu’s blooper Indiralogathi Na Azhagappan fell flat on its nose in less than a week of its release. Unimaginative script and predictable direction made the public give thumbs down to the movie.

Nenjathai Killadhe

Kadhal Kottai Agathiyan’s love story could have made an impact if Kadhal Kottai was not made earlier. The movie was just reduced to a passable attempt owing to the storyline that proved a tad repetitive.

Vellithirai

Vellithirai had all it takes to be a successful venture. The humor is not funny, it is rather wry with cynical undertones. There needs to be a special talent to laugh at oneself. Prakashraj has done it in style although the script and plot are borrowed from the neighborhood. But who cares, as long as the movie is agreeably entertaining and thought-provoking. Although with all these plus points, Vellithirai still failed to create a buzz and the mystery remains unsolved.

Kaalai

Silambarasan has such a solid fan base. And his fans had been waiting eagerly for his next. After Valluvan, there was a lull from the little superstar. Kaalai proved heavily disappointing, crashing their hopes.

Of the 26 official releases, as much as 15 proved to be downers failing to make impact and business at the box office. Most of them were average grosser. Sandai is doing well in B and C centers, while Kattuviritan is doing well in C centers, so it’s a little early to say if they will be hits.

1. Sandai
2. Sadhu Miranda
3. Thotta
4. Pazhani
5. Pidichirukku
6. Kattuviriyan –C center is doing well, A B not

With a handful of debutants – with an exception of Anu Haasan and Riyaz Khan – Akku is a commendable attempt without any songs and the inevitable interval. The movie was a thriller and ran for 90 minutes. Sadly, without enough publicity and promotion it was not noticed by the general public and sank without a trace for the same reason.

Looks like the year 2008 hasn’t been a good start for the movies. A close look at the statistics reveal mixed reaction from the movie-going public. While big ventures failed to evoke the expected response at the ticket counters, the box office buzzed with activity - courtesy the shoestring budgeted movies.

An analysis of the state of affairs at the box office during the first quarter.

As many as 26 movies hit the theatres during the four months of the year 2008, both, big and small in size. Pongal witnessed half a dozen releases and sadly none of them received patronage from the public. Bheema and Pazhani joined the average league while the others sank without a trace.

Vikrams next project with mani rathnam

Kanthaswamy, the Vikram - Shriya starrer is steadily shaping up and the crew along with the director Susi Ganesan is back in town after a hectic and successful schedule in Mexico. It was also reported in the media that Vikram had charmed the audience there and would be featuring in a Mexican film as well.

Director Susi Ganesan who is a student from Mani Ratnam’s school of direction had visited the director recently and the duo was reported to be discussing Kanthaswamy and other films in general. That was when the ace director was said to be considering Cheeyan for an important role in his next Hindi film which will have the Guru team of Aishwarya Rai and Abishek Bachchan once again. Talks are said to be on between Mani Ratnam and Vikram. If this offer comes through, fans of Cheeyan and Mani Ratnam are sure to be delighted as the talented couple has never been teamed up earlier.

Bheema wants surya or arya

Cinematographer R D Rajashekar is very much energized about the positive reviews that he has been getting for his work in Lingusamy's Bheema. While relishing his accolade, he attributes it to the way his camera traveled in sync with the story. He says, "If I had taken a detour from the script by changing the lights and the tone, it would not be talked about. I believe in keeping unobtrusive camera angles in line with the story". According to this ace cameraman, his role model is John Woo from Hollywood who adds glamour even in action packed scenes.

Like most of the cinematographers, Rajashekar also has plans to foray into direction this year end with two films, one with Surya and the other with Arya. He has two scripts ready and would be handling the camera also in both these films. Action laced with romance will be the theme in these two films. When quizzed about his withdrawal from Vishal's Sathyam, he states that it is because of date problem and nothing else.

Verdict: Hit


Cast: Surya, Asin, Vadivelu, Lakshmi
Direction: Hari
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Production: M Chintamani
One of the very few movies to have survived since Deepavali at the box office, Hari’s Vel with Surya and Asin is still alive and kicking in a few centers.

Trade Talk:
Hit!

Public Talk:
Surya – Asin chemistry seemed to have worked, yet again.

No. Weeks Completed: 10

Total collections in Chennai: Rs.2.11 Crore

Verdict: Hit


Cast: Ashok, Visaka, Ganja Karuppu
Direction: Kanagu
Music: Manu Ramesan
Production: Senbagakumar
With a whole bunch of newcomers and lesser known artistes, Director Kanagu, erstwhile assistant director to Linguswamy, debuts with Pidichirukku. However, everything else is not so new in the flick.

Trade Talk:
The movie has had a below average opening and run during the Pongal week. Future doesn’t look rosy either.

Public Talk:
Hardly any!

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 36
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 55 %
Collection over this Pongal week in Chennai: Rs.3,56,534
Total collections in Chennai: Rs.4 lakhs

Verdict: Below average opening


Cast: Madhavan, Bhavana
Direction: Seeman
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Production: T. Shiva
Madhavan and Seeman are back -- definitely not with a bang -- after the successful Thambi with a banal formula fare. Madhavan and Bhavana’s chemistry is the only inescapable element of Vazhthukkal.

Trade Talk:
No gung ho!

Public Talk:
Aren’t we tired of guy-meets-nice-girl-falls-in-love type romances yet?

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 108
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 60 %
Collection over this Pongal week in Chennai: Rs.14,49,491

Verdict: Average opening


Cast: Bharath, Kajal Agarwal, Kushboo
Direction: Perarasu
Music: Srikanth Deva
Production: Sakthi Chidambaram
Forget about Perarasu’s fetish of naming movies after places, his obsession over clichéd and old-formulae commercial fare seems never ending. If you haven’t had enough of those 80s fashioned hero who is the savior of his sister’s pride and the redeemer of his family’s dignity, you will enjoy Bharath in Pazhani.

Trade Talk:
No great shakes about it since Pazhani has had only average business even when it opened.

Public Talk:
So what next? Sabarimala?

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 112

Total collections in Chennai: Rs.15 lakhs

Verdict: Average opening


Cast: Cheran, Sneha, Jeyaram
Direction: Karu Pazhaniappan
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: Gnanam Films
Karu Palaniappan – Seran – Sneha team’s subtle and eloquent family drama seems to be the only buoyant competitor with substance. With a truck load of cast and a beautifully crafted story about a joint family, Palaniappan’s conviction about the script is evident in every frame.

Trade Talk:
Although a tad early for predictions, Pirivom has done decent business during the Pongal week.

Public Talk:
A word of mouth could definitely uplift the movie’s stature, which is more than likely.

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 108
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 65 %

Verdict: Average opening


Cast: Ajith, Nayantara, Namitha, Prabhu
Direction: Vishnuvardhan
Music: Yuvanshankar Raja
Production: L.Suresh
Vishnuvardhan proved that a stylish package could do wonders for a movie, especially when the movie was a remake of an outdated cult classic. Ajith’s sheen hasn’t lost even after the box office is flooded with Pongal releases.

Trade Talk:
With five weeks in the run, Billa has garnered enough profit to be safely pronounced a hit.

Public Talk:
Haven’t we ogled enough about the classy Nayan and sleek Namitha?

No. Weeks Completed: 5
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 104
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 65 %
Collection over this Pongal week in Chennai: Rs.17,49,468
Total collections in Chennai: Rs.3.76 Crore

Verdict: Hit


Cast: Silambarasan, Vedhika, Sangeetha, Nila
Direction: Tarun Gopi
Music: G V. Prakash
Production: NIC Arts Chakravarthy
Simbu ended his extended break with Kaalai for Pongal. Directed by Tarun Gopi, Kaalai is packed with a little too much mindless action - and only that - even with an impressive line up of actors. Eye candy Vedhika or sidekick Sangeetha couldn’t help either.

Trade Talk:
Simbu’s charm has pulled in the crowd for the movie’s first week in the run.

Public Talk:
Fans of Simbu seem to have something to talk about.

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 152
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 80 %
Collection over this Pongal week in Chennai: Rs.35,81,436
Total collections in Chennai: Rs.36 lakhs

Verdict: Good opening


Cast: Vikram, Trisha, Prakash Raj, Raguvaran
Direction: Linguswamy
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Production: A M Rathnam
Vikram’s long awaited release ending his sabbatical of more than two years has finally hit the screens. Predictably, Bheema turned out to be a gangster fare with more brawn and less brain. And the ups being, Vikram’s charisma, Prakashraj’s histrionics, Trisha’s vibrancy, and HJ’s music.

Trade Talk:
Thanks to the hype that was generated owing to Vikram’s absence from the scene, the movie has opened to full houses.

Public Talk:
If only the few ups were enough to save it.

No. Days Completed: 4
No. Shows in Chennai over the Pongal week: 236
Average Theatre Occupancy over this Pongal week: 82 %

Verdict: Good opening

I lost 13 crores Rs for Bheema sayss vikram

According to Vikram the film was sold for 23 crores and he expects that Tanjore area alone to fetch one crore profit. While discussing about the flipside of agreeing to act in Bheema , Cheeyan says, “As I had promised that I would complete the film, I had stuck on this project for three years. As a result I had given away my salary of 1.5 crore and by not accepting any other offer I have lost ten crores. I have lost a lot in these three years mainly my mental peace”. When questioned about his future projects, Cheeyan states that he is committed to Susi Ganesan’s Kanthaswamy now, after which will be involved in a Selvaraghavan’s venture. He also added that he will act in three films in a year.

Direction: Linguswamy

Music: Harris Jayaraj

Production: A M Rathnam

Story:

In Bheema, Vikram plays a man who has, since childhood, idolized Prakashraj, a gangster with a heart of gold. Vikram grows up to become a no-nonsense, street smart, powerful young man. Impressed with his courage, Prakashraj embraces him, inducting him into the gang. And with Vikram as his right hand man, Prakashraj gradually becomes the godfather of the city. He even outrivals his archrival, Raguvaran. Filled with rage, Raghuvaran and his two sons attempt to kill Prakashraj and take back the city. But with Vikram by his side they are unable to touch the newly crowned godfather. Meanwhile, Vikram falls in love with Trisha, and he becomes so lost in love that he loses focus and concentration on the job, nearly threatening the life of his idol. Vikram is now forced to choose between work and love. What Vikram will choose forms the rest of this tale.
