YUVATHA(Telugu)

This movie is an okay type ...you can see this when you have nothing to do.....director has taken many liberties in the second half which are illogical,,,but the under lined comedy saves the movie.

story of few youngsters.......how the few situations in their life turn around them.. and make them desperate for money ,,,and how did they face that situation and how they saved themselves when they are in difficulties ...forms the crux of the movie.

Nikhil played role with lots of energy..........but the character resembles us ravi teja all time....heroine looks pretty and did justice to her role......other charaters too ,,,performed decently but nothing praisable..............nikhil steals the show...


director parasuram is an assosciate of puri.............so the whole movie looks like a puri movie without ravi teja and puri under crew......there is no seperate comedy track ..........but what ever hero deoes looks funny as well as heroic......music is pretty good and even the songs are picturised well...................

definitely you can see this movies as there are only few genuine hits and above averages in the industry.

SAROJA(Tamil)

Movie is pretty good........there is lot of fun and litlle bit twists which make us enjoy the movie.

story looks pretty normal but taking and the way characters are etched makes the premise very intresting.daughter of a prakash raj is kidanapped and they demand a lump sum from him,on other track the main characters travel from chennai to hyderabad to see a cricket match.
in mean while how they saved that girls life and consequences makes the story.

Everyone performed decently ....most deserving performance is prem ji amaran......he has excellent comedy timing....this movie looks good only if you see the original..dubbed version wont stay upto expectations,,,vaibhav,spb charan..etc are passable......vega is too hot to resist...with cute looks and bubbly voice she is perfect choice for role,,,nikhitha played a vamp kinda role ..but she is looking better than many other films she played......


Music is an asset to movie,,,,,,,,,yuvan makes an appearance in one of the pop song...........director venkat prabhu carried movie on his shoulders..........he can make this movie with any actor and still make movie a worth watching.........thats homework he did on the characters........... using TV artists and his earlier movie artists to make cameo's is pretty intresting.

Definitely dont miss it.........watch it for the comedy of Premji amaran and beautifull leading ladies in the movie.

Firaaq(Hindi)

Nanditha das this name inspires me alot ,This movie is her directorial debut,,do you want to know what is meant by a true passion,do you want to see a movie that comes straight from a heart,do you want to see a best directorial debut in the history of cinema contemporary to our own masala diet movies,,do you want to know how a thinking artist makes you think about an incident even after the movie.......FIRAAQ is a proud answer from me.

The story deals with after math incidents of few people related to the Gujarat riots,
there are a total of five stories in the movie,,,,,,,,,a story of a couple whose house is burnt in the riots,
story of a couple whose shope is looted in the mishap,,;;;;;;;,the story of a couple in which wife suffers from a phobia of riots hittiing her and husband encashes even in those hard hitting times,,,,
story of a small kid in search of his relative,,,,,,and story of muslim musician and his asst.,,,,,,,,every story touches your heart.

When it comes to performances i think most of them are from theatre,,,so perfection is their identity,,,,,,,,,to name a few Naseruddin Shah, Paresh Rawal, Raghuveer Yadav, Deepti Naval, Sanjay Suri, Shahana Goswami, Tisca Chopra,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in total run time of the movie you will not see these actors but you will identify the characters they are palying......superb performances by each and every one..........the kid had given a terrific performance.......Cinematography by ace cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran......Sreekar Prasad's editing ......Art by Gautam Sen everything is of top notch...

I cant stop praising NANDITHA DAS,,,,,,,,,,,......this movie hits you hard and makes you think what had happended after some riots and how it effects later ................................................never miss this movie at any cost ...........its not a commercial pot boiler............its a passionate movie made with true intentions

Padikathavan(Tamil)

Dhanush is the saving grace of this film,though it made an above average mark at box office,there is nothing in this film,except excellent dance movements from dhanush.

Routine run of a mill story,nothing new in it,dhanush comes from a well educated family,apart from dhanush everyone in the family is highly eduacated, so his papa will be always scolding him,to break the jinx hero wants to marry a well educated girl to get a positive status.

These type of roles are cake walk for dhanush, dance movements are awesome,tammanah plays the love intrest of dhanush,she is just used as a doll in the movie nothing to offer from her,
vivek plays main comedian role which irks you when ever you see him. so there is nothing to praise any one in the movie.

mani sharma gave music to this movie,where he used couple of songs from his telugu movies,,
background is not appealing,,ahhhhhh here comes director suraj.......he straight away lifted many scenes from telugu movies,,,,,,typical masala director ........choosed few good scenes from other movies which are help full to his story line and added them as it is without showing any of his creative abilities.

You can avoid this movie without a second thought,just see video songs for fast dance movements from dhanush.
