rise of modern tamil cinema
10 March 2011
What can i say about the way i felt during the course of watching and post watching the movie?it was just pure exhilaration that tamil cinema has directors who think so modernly but still not losing their cultural ground.The basic premise of the movie is about a guy who comes to the city whose flight is due in the morning to one of the gulf countries.He realizes he wont be able to drink anymore let alone do any other things in that country and then from thereon he along with his soon to be brother in law starts the quest for that one quarter of happiness.Add to it some wonderful characters of gamblers,politicians,women,an 18 year old schoolgirl,car chases and a card game and you end up watching an amazing modern tamil cinema.I loved this piece of art and would not dissect the movie as i recommend all my tamil brothers to watch this awesome movie and decide for yourselves.Cinematography is just so breathtking in showing the city during the night.Direction is really good as well as the music.But what stands above everyhing else is the performances of shiva,s.p charan,lekha washington,john vijay and all the other actors,they are just amazing.A very highly recommended movie and a definite cult movie for movie enthusiastic or fanatics like us....CHEERS
