The promos of “Tamil Padam” had indicated everyone that this movie is going to be a spoof on few Tamil movies that had come earlier and due to that this movie had generated expectations to the level no one had even thought it would achieve.

Goa Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Venkat Prabhu after the stupendous success of “Chennai 600028” and “Saroja” has embarked on this fun filled package titled “GOA” with the tagline “A Venkat Prabhu Holiday”. To be honest there is lots of fun and glamour but one thing that really hampers everything is the length of the movie. The movie which runs for 3 hours lags in patches. Venkat Prabhu has brought together his trusted cast once again with a mix of few new faces and he has joined hands with Soundarya Rajinikanth who makes her debut in kollywood as a producer with this movie.

Chance Pe Dance Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Ken Ghosh directed “Chance Pe Dance” is all about struggles of life along with a soft romantic love story between the two protagonists in the movie. Sameer (Shahid Kapoor) happens to be a struggling Bollywood aspirant and Tina (Genelia D’Souza) an upcoming choreographer. When they both bump into each other accidentally what happens next is in this Chance Pe Dance. Though the story might sound familiar what the viewer expects is something new in the treatment of the script but in the end all that is served is a loosely knit screenplay that defies logic to a great extent and an ending that was very much predictable.

Aayirathil Oruvan Movie Review | silentcritics.com

Director Selvaraghavan who is known for the boldness with which he normally handles the theme that he likes to unleash on screen was evident in his previous movies right from his debut film “Thulluvatho Illamai” which dealt with the subject of infatuation during school days followed by “7G Rainbow Colony” which ended up being a sophisticated version of his debut film but instead of infatuation it was love and post these two movies he decided to do an action flick titled “Pudhupettai” which unfortunately turned out to be a huge disappointment. Post Pudhupettai debacle Selvaraghavan who was used to scripting his movies based on happenings around him decided to trust his imagination and he started writing “Aayirathil Oruvan” (One in a thousand) sometime in 2007. The director who normally takes close to a fortnight to pen down an entire script took close to four months for this Aayirathil Oruvan. Read More

Will Aayirathil Oruvan Meet Expectations? | silentcritics.com

Selvaraghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan which was in the making for over three years is finally slated to be released this pongal worldwide. The movie which is incidentally Karthi’s second movie after his stellar performance as a rustic villager in “Paruthiveeran”. The trailer of Aayirathil Oruvan which was released earlier was a stunner to everyone with the amount of foul language used by the leading ladies in Andrea and Reema Sen. If the visuals in the trailer was an indication of what is to come then no doubt Aayirathil Oruvan is going to be a visual extravaganza. Read More
