Aadukalam – vetri (victory) for vetrimaran
Movie is all about revenge, ego, friendship, jealousy, petty same thing as he used in polladavan but with village story, The film is set in a suburb of Madurai where rooster or Cock fights is a major sport. Karuppu (Dhanush) is worker under Pettaikaran (Jayabalan) along with Dorai (Kishore) .story continuous with cock fight and love with Anglo Indian girl Irene (Taapasee).
Policeman Nareyn whose family for years used to conduct and win trophies in cock fighting and decides to have one last cock fight between his team and Pettaikaran to fulfill wish of his dying mother. The fight is conducted after a special permission is given by police and local bodies. In the crucial tournament, Nareyn using drug induced roosters in the first round, At this point to save the face of his guru Karuppu enters the ground with his rooster. this makes Pettaikaran feeling bad he announces that Karuppu is not a member of his team, Karuppu wins the game , this puts his mentor mind in dialomo that whether to celebrate the victory or to jealous because he is so young compare to his age and experience in that field . This creates gap in relation between karuppu and Pettaikaran who plots for the downfall of Karuppu.
Performance wise Dhanush has delivered on of his best on screen, Conveying messages through his eyes, controlling anger, enjoying his first love… He lived as karuppu, Jayabalan and Kishore are outstanding, and Kishore will get permanent seat in the industry either as supporting role or as villain. Heroin Taapasee was having less scope but suits to the role and looks cute and definitely leaves some lasting impression. Cinematography is one of greatest strengths. Background music is good and the Yathe Yathe... song is must watch.
“I am love you “Dhanush tells to Taapasee once in party, even we loves the movie

Kavalan – You are safe
Story starts with Vijay appointed to bodyguard his beloved rajkiran who is head of his village, soon he realize that bodyguard required for his daughter asin more than him, so he assigned the work to vijay and both of them moved to city for college along with her friend. Being a strict bodyguard he starts uniform, strict timetable for studying and all, fed up with his moments asin starts gambling, start calling him frequently and act as a lover, since her number is private number you cant make out the number. Unfortunately without seeing her face vijay fell in love , mostly for her nick name “ammu kutty”!.
In between you can enjoy lot from Vadivelu, set up a new trend for confusion dialogue. Story get turn when asin fell in love with him because of his care, respect and loyalty to her dad, both of them share their feelings via phone only, so many times he try to meet her but intentionally she was postponing by telling many reasons, but everything has its end and that to beautiful end( vijay movie you cannot expect tragedy) they decided to ran away ,till now vijay has not seen her face. Accidently maid come to know the matter and informed to her parents rajkiran ran to city catch up with some drama and allow vijay to go with his lover and took her daughter, he is in danger because her father inform to goondas to kill him if he lied means not meet any girl in station secondly she can’t go and meet him , she took risk and send her friend to act as a lover and inform about her love.
Close to climax her friend will meet vijay in train …. Love has no reasons moreover everything is fair in love … as soon as vijay saw her face, his words , his hug make her completely surrender and she ignores asin! What next watch for ultimate climax somewhere you remember Kuch kuch hota hai.
It’s a director movie , you can definitely see Khushi vijay and people are lucky if he select same kind of scripts in future, even though a Malayalam remake director has done some changes with keeping his fans in mind, first half will go smoothly where as second half is tight and sentimental especially climax is most unexpected and deserve full marks, asin , Vadivelu acted well rajkiran has done same character in many movies just a copy and paste of it ,but first time with vijay. Music is melodious especially “Yaradoo…. “Will remain in your heart. A perfect family entertainer for pongal.

Merupakayi – hot and spicy
Don’t go for logic how a Delhi police officer turns into Hindi lecturer in Hyderabad coed college, its all for mission of Narayana Murthy!. Where he fell in love with his student and try to feel the power of love before marriage , so for that he extends his marriage also, unfortunately exactly after committing with her his mission starts , he has to love Kittu Bhai, Prakash rai’s daughter in order to make out his secrete ruling place in Malaysia, truly Asia which is now a day’s home for almost all south Indian movies.
Raviteja, the man who never disappoints you from very begin with a dual introduction to ending by dancing with sunil, his dialogue delivery, a special god gift to him. Its timing, up and down in voice, standing style, conveying to someone all are unique and he updated as well and got full marks, Particularly some words about his dancing, improved lot in that area, even though he is not a good dancer but able to manage to beats with his body language, I think he and naresh can keep any movie going without having a strong story line.
Heroines, Deeksha Seth and Richa Gangopadhyay both and having less image since both of them doing their second and third movies respectively concentrated more on glamour and dancing, need to work hard in the areas of acting. Deeksha Seth can be renamed as arthi agarwal can fill her gap in the industry.
Kota Srinivasa Rao and Prakash rai villains, not having much role but gave justice to the role, special thanks to choreography, editor and music director, it won’t allow you to go for smoke while song is on, beats are high and definitely rocks.
If you are Raviteja’s fan, must watch. I will give 6 out of 10

Orange - red signal for your love journey
Bhaskar whose movies always turn around human relationships, especially love, infact here is a small change instead of moving around love, he moved inside the love and turned around the love, many experiments over love like long love and short love, lifelong love, instant love….. Thank god finally he accept the truth of love. I am no where opposing his ideology of love more, but not for life long as he told “ Karanalutho migilopokudadu”(“ we should not remain our life with reasons”) even he should not remain with reason to tell those things for 2 and half hour.
Unnecessarily flash back is used with his favorite Prakash rai asking his story, rich guy who fell in love with Shazahn Padamsee In first sight and gradually lost interest in that, why? See the movie henceforth lost interest in long love instead love many people for a short time and leave them when you get bored! He succeeds 9 times unfortunately genelia introduced as no. 10 as Brahmananda ask in one scene. Both of them fell in love and spend some time happily as soon she knew his ideology new things will begun, will he stops at 10? Why? How? How can he justify his previous 9? Watch the movie.
Movies most of the part shooted in foreign and some part in Bombay, AP is nowhere touched. Initial acting of genelia recalls Bommarillu scenes and somewhere she went over, showing of too much of her skin is also not required. Gradually she pickups into normal ಲೈನ್. Shazahn Padamsee As a second heroin is having less work and looks very cute. Brahmananda finished his work neatly with his normal punchings.
For the first time Mega Power star came out of all his images, with no image for hero where story and director being the hero for the movie improved his acting upto mark but need to improve in the areas during anger and in romantic scenes.
Songs, difficult to recall except rooba… rooba…, good marks for choreography, and editing, first time fighting on sky introducing in telugu movie.
Hats of to Bhaskar for getting into somewhat difficult subject,can reach only top class and require lots of patience, if you want to understand completely book your ticket for second time as well.

Nagaram - is nothing but thalai nagaram part2
Again he tied up with most of the casting which he used in Talinagaram. Movie starts with flashback same as in part1.
story starts after realeasing from court with his friend police effort he tried to live the life without roudism, while mentioning with his police friend that “ I just want to live as a normal man with a wife and lovely child, I just want to become good husband and father….” You can see the updated sundar as hero improved his body language but delivery is going uniformly, which may be his improving area, unfortunately again enterd into the field and finally result of roudism….
Vadivelu, man to watch after a long gap, never allow you to sit ideal, he can take control of any of the movies and he showed the same thing here again ,that is. Along with his team he can able to enjoy the people !
Heroin don’t have much work neither glamour nor sentimental. Being her first movie showed good interest and can improve in areas like body language, dancing, can halt in tollywood.
Necessarily! One masala song and tragic climax not much turnings or special scenes to be watched, the one which he delivered in Talinagaram failed to give in Nagaram.

Manmadan Ambu - failed to reach target
Years most expected ulaganayagan’s movie released on the 23rd of December, Masala director K.S. Ravi kumar and DSP joined first time together with his favorite maddy,
Along with kamal, Trisha, Ramesh aravind and sangeetha are in main frame. Story begins with star surya’s shooting scene with trisha in Chennai village as maddy in love with trisha bring his parents for the shooting, Usha uttap as a typical mother felt very bad by looking at the way how she acts with costar even this tends to maddy to move his head down, on the way they decided to postpone the marriage so that she can finish all her commitments in film land. soon they met with an accident and they missed the car. She moved to Australia for vacation, Kamal enter to screen with who’s the hero… song , an ex Major and doing detective work for his friend Ramesh who is suffering from cancer and in hospital for operation . He acts as a informer to Maddy in all her steps and soon maddy decided she is no more in a wrong way and decided to accept her. same time he denied to give payment to kamal as he didn’t make out the mistake!.
Story turned soon as he knows the reality kamal start to build new story that she is with some one! Helps his financial crisis , he went for flashback about how he lost her wife the car which they crashed while coming is nothing but kamal ‘s and he lost his wife in the incident ,trisha felt guilty and decided to give him his lost love . Soon maddy decided to meet her …. Watch out for the climax mostly unexpected.
Performance wise no second word, script don’t have much work, and Kamal sentimental scenes are amazing he simply showed how a matured artist can play without words and with eyes. “ neela vaanam…” which I sung himself is another “partha modalnaal…”, but for other songs DSP has not taken much risk, since most of the shooting held in foreign, choreography is looks very luxurious.
Special words about movie is choreography of neela vaanam song… don’t miss the amazing work for the song
Overall I will give 6 out of 10
