Kabali - Magizhchi!!

KABALI

Over the past 2 decades or so,the normal,cliched,enthusiastic,happy-go-lucky Rajini fan,who huffs and puffs his way to catch a glimpse of his "Demi-God" on screen,usually expects an extravangant setup where his hero would be portrayed as a larger than life character,thereby,soaking in the raucuos applauses of his so called "devotees"

But,Kabali,has definitely breathed a fresh lease of life into the commoner,who,as usual,blatantly went to watch out for a typical "RAJINIESQUE" film.But he is surely in for a shock as the movie just doesnt go by the script(by any stretch of imagination),and is beautifully woven and scripted according to the demands of the story,which is the major plus of the film.

Pa.Ranjith,though being accused of not projecting "THALAIVAR" as expected,certainly stands out in stressing the fact that,the story and scripting has to take centrestage,than the characters themselves.

Albeit all these facts,Thalaivar Thalaivar dhan..He just carries the entire burden of the movie on his shoulders effortlessly without any fuss,and the "ACTOR" in him,who is just a class apart,comes to the fore on more than one occasion.It is just not easy to perform such high-octane stunts at the age of 66.

The other cast including Rathika Apte,who emotes as brilliantly and consistently as kohli scores a century,and Dhanshika,who underwent a tomboyish makeover,have just exceeded expectations as they have portrayed such intense characters,in the most pleasant manner possible..Best stunt woman == Dhanshika _/\_.

All other support cast,be it Dinesh,Kalaiyarasan,John Vijay,Nasser,Kishore and Winston chan,all have performed admirably.Ranjith's confidence in his tried and tested support actors,is clearly visible,as he has extracted the best from everyone of them,showing his comfort levels with them.

The Technical detailing deserves a special mention as DOP Murali and Editor Praveen stand out in their departments.Anbariv's stunt sequences make the fans go delirious.

In my opinion,the biggest gainer from this movie would be‪#‎SantoshNarayanan‬.His BGMs are thunderous and help the audiences bring down the roof.‪#‎MayaNadhi‬ was the icing on the cake.

Overall,
KABALI - One of the rare movies where one notices the Movie,where Rajini is a part,and not Rajini,on whom the movie is a part

Uriyadi - An Honest Endeavour

Uriyadi,written,directed and produced by Vijay Kumar,is an earnest attempt that dissects the long burning issue of caste system prevalent in Tamil Nadu.

The film,woven crisply around a running time of 1.30 hours,hits the bull's eye right from the start,as each character portrays the common man and his search in venting out his anger on the society.Particularly,the depiction of the hostel mates and the nearby dhaba,truly brings out the raw emotions of the characters,in a very bold manner.Kudos to the director,for such realistic cast selection!!!

Another notable feature is that,though the film is devoid of any commercial attractions or brand values,it hooks the audience throughout,as the gripping screenplay,coupled with a racy,adrenaline pumping BGM,just enhances the scene to a different plane.

The director treads on a very delicate path,dealing with a sensitive issue,in a subtle,yet very convincing manner,such that the story never deviates from it's core plot.The overdose of violence,at places,is gory.but,it is the storyline that demands such sequences,and the entire team has to be appreciated,for their whole hearted efforts.

Finally,Nalan kumarasy,who brought the distribution rights for this movie.has certainly provided the Tamil audience,with a definite winner.albeit the fact that,the initial openings were not as anticipated.But through encouraging reviews and positive word of mouth,the movie got re-released in many theatres across the state,enjoying widespread success!!

Uriyadi - A heartwarming change that Tamil Cinema Needed!!!!!
