Thuppakki (2012)
Thupakki a racy entertainer that keeps you hooked till the end.
Thupakki, the much awaited Vijay-murugadoss combo hit the screens yesterday and luckily I got a ticket for a early morning special screening at a local multiplex. Right from the first frame, Vijay mesmerizes the audience with his sleek looks and awesome style. A big thumbs up to his costume designer who has done the job with utmost care.
The strength of the movie lies in the flawless screenplay and dialogues by murugadoss. The Cat and mouse game between the protagonist and villain has been scripted immaculately. Especially the scene before intermission and climax got electrifying response in the theater.
Vijay seems more mature on the screen and his scenes involving kajal and satyan cracks up the audience. Actions sequence seems more vivid and dynamic in Santhosh sivan's camera who has once again showed the world that he has not won the national awards for nothing. Harris Jayaraj has done a commendable job with his BGM score and it makes some scenes even more striking. Songs are good and murugadoss has taken a special care in choosing the locations for it. Especially Vennilave song's backdrop is mindblowing. Though Kajal agarwall didn't have a big role to play,she along with sathyan and Jayaram provide comic relief at regular intervals.
One more person who if not mention here would be unfair is editor Sreekar Prasad. He has chiseled the movie perfectly and the audience doesn't feel like a watching a movie that is almost 3hrs. Villain Vidyut Jamwal robust and does a laudable job. He has portrayed a character who is brainy and evil.
On the downside the romance track between Vijay and Kajal is Clichéd. Even though songs are good, the situations they appear are not relevant.
On the whole Thupakki is a racy entertainer that keeps you hooked till the end. It is one of the Vijay's best movie in the recent times. With Nanban already a hit and now along with thupakki 2012 is surely belongs to Ilayathalapathy.

Nanban (2012)
Don't think! Go for it!
Nanban, the remake of Hindi Blockbuster 3 Idiots surely lives up to the expectation. For a guy like me who has watched 3 Idiots at least 15 times,I was wondering how am I gonna enjoy it. But believe me as the movie starts I was dragged into the it and I actually got more than What I expected. The success of Nanban will be Mainly because of Shankar's decision not to change much with the script.
As far as Vijay is concerned except for one or two scenes he has acted in his own style and he has literally lived the character of Panchavan Parivendan. He has exhibited some enhanced acting and how many movies have you see Vijay get beaten in the hands of heroine or his friends. Thumbs up to him for shedding his Image for the sake of the character. Jiva and shrikanth have done decent jobs and have surely this movie will be a good break for shrikanth. Credit should be given to Sathyan who has done a great work portraying the role of silencer. He makes everyone laugh their hearts out especially in the Teacher's day speech scene. Speaking of Ileana, Nanban is great launch pad for her into the Kollywood industry. Drunken Munimma is really admirable.
Songs are colourful and Harris jayaraj has come up with some great tunes. Asku laska and En friend ah pola catches the minds.
Overall Nanban is a movie that has everything. A film which will make you laugh,cry and the message it has, comes along with you when you leave the theatre. If you haven't seen 3 Idiots then this will be one of the greatest Tamil Movie you've ever seen. If you have seen it already, don't hesitate, still go for it, you will get the original feel of 3 Idiots.
