Lakshmi, Vital Rao, Sangeetha, Mouli, Ganja Karuppu,
Direction: Karu Pazhaniappan
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: Gnanam
Films The crux of the story is that the hero belongs to a huge joint family, while the heroine is a bubbly single-child, always surrounded by her close friends. She also aspires to live in a big family with people encircling her all the time. The two unite in matrimony. Sneha just loves being around with her husband’s mammoth family, whereas Cheran starts longing for some private moments with his wife. Cheran who eventually gets promoted and transferred to a different place, is happy of the development whereas Sneha is a bit troubled. What impact this transfer has on Sneha forms the rest of the story. though the second part of the film moves at a slower pace, the climax is short and crisp with a director’s touch. What is also worth appreciating is omission of scenes that would have dampened the story’s spirit. While most of the directors might have tried to cash in on an intimate scene right after the wedding, this film has shifted its focus from that trend. Finally, this film is not for those who wish to have a gala time, whistling or catcalling. If you wish to see quality cinema then head to theatres that show Pirivom Santhippom. Perhaps you might not see a better family movie in the near future.

Trisha Again Joins With Prakashraj&Co


Actress Trisha is all gung ho about her Abhiyum Naanum with Prakash Raj for his home production, Duet Films. All those who have seen rushes from the movie say this is her best performance till date and she could go on to win awards for her performance in this role. Prakash Raj, the smart producer that he is, seems to have capitalized on Trisha's newfound zeal and convinced her to do a cameo in his production Vellithirai, directed by Viji. She is said to play herself in the movie and that makes things easier for her or rather difficult for her to refuse. With Jeyam Ravi doing a cameo, Vellithirai, which is about a rising star in the film industry, seems to be star studded already!!!

Bheema Review

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. Lingusamy succeeds in provoking riveting performances from all the actors, but as scriptwriter he’s not as successful in keeping us involved.The first half is full of incident but the pace slackens in the second half, no thanks to some inappropriate song placement that spoils the fun. Bheema is full of style but little substance. As in all our masala entertainers, logic takes a back seat. Prakashraj, as always, comes up with a topnotch performance. Trisha’s role is bubbly and this talented heroine makes the most of it, looking cute all through the film and ravishing in the song sequences. Raghuvaran delivers that slick, sly villain he is so well known for. Technically, Bheema is brilliant. RD Rajasekhar’s cinematography is a treat for the eyes, especially the Mudhal Mazhai song, which is shot ravishingly. Anthony’s editing is terrific except in a few places where it is not always seamless. The stunts by Kanal Kannan will be a major draw, particularly the fight sequence in the market place where slow motion is used to great effect.


Bheema better than other pongal released movies
