Oru Caribbean Udayippu





 Oru Caribbean Udayippu throws light on strong friendship and relationships of the youth. The director of the film, A Joji, experiments with a storyline that revolves around campus love and music. 

The film opens with the childhood of six youngsters, Kevin, Benson, Meenakshi, Govind, Ravi Shankar and Geethu who are ardent music lovers. They grow up together and finally join a college where they get exposure for their music skills.

Young actors, Rishi Prakash, Mareena Michael, Aneesh Menon, Musthafa, Nandhan Unni, Vishnu Vinay, Vishnu Govindhan and Mohammed Althaf, play the central characters in this campus film. Throughout the film, audience also get to see Sudani from Nigeria fame Samuel Abiola Robinson, who is one of the members of the group. Supporting them are actors, Sreejith Ravi, Devan, Kochu Preman and Parvathi T. 

With sugary romance, love rejections and campus fights, the filmmaker has tried to soak the film with youthful flavour and the plot shows how the love for music is used as a tool by the youth to overcome their hurdles in life.

However, apart from a few romantic song numbers and humorous lines, the film doesn’t offer more to the audience for entertainment. The film doesn’t present any fresh element for the viewers to cherish after leaving the theatre. The storyline too is not intriguing and the entire direction is more suitable for a short film. With several youth-related clichéd segments, the film lacks a good base for enjoyable movie.

Kuthiraivaal

  Kuthiraivaal Movie Review:  Manoj Leonel Jahson and Shyam Sunder’s directorial debut Kuthiraivaal brims with colours and striking imagery. This is apparent as early as its first scene, where its protagonist Saravanan alias Freud squirms in his bed, suspecting a bad omen. As some light fills his aesthetic apartment wrapped with vintage wall colours, his discomfort finally makes sense—for he has woken up with a horse’s tail! The scene is set up incredibly, leaving us excited for what is to come. But is the film as magical as the spectacle it presents on screen? Kuthiraivaal revolves around Saravanan (played by a brilliant Kalaiyarasan) and his quest to find out why he suddenly wakes up with a horse’s tail, and on the way, his existence in life. Saravanan’s universe is filled with colourful characters, almost magical yet just real enough—be it his whimsical neighbour Babu (Chetan), who speaks about his love for his dog and loneliness in the same breath, or the corner-side cigar...

Maaran

Even as early as about five minutes into Maaran, it’s hard to care. The craft seems to belong in a bad TV serial, and the dialogues and performances don't help either. During these opening minutes, you get journalist Sathyamoorthy (Ramki) rambling on about publishing the ‘truth’, while it gets established that his wife is pregnant and ready to deliver ANY SECOND. A pregnant wife on the cusp of delivery in our 'commercial' cinema means that the bad men with sickles are in the vicinity and ready to pounce. Sometimes, it almost feels like they wait around for women to get pregnant, so they can strike. When the expected happens—as it does throughout this cliché-ridden film—you feel no shock. The real shock is when you realise that the director credits belong to the filmmaker who gave us Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, that the film stars Dhanush, from whom we have come to expect better, much better. Director: Karthick Naren Cast: Dhanush, Malavika Mohanan, Ameer, Samuthirakani Stre...

Mehandi Circus

                   In Mehandi Circus, romance is in the air. Somewhat literally. For, the hero and heroine fall in love to the sounds of Ilaiyaraaja songs and Yeh Raatein Yeh Mausam from Dilli Ka Thug. The guy is Jeeva (debutant Madhampatti Rangaraj, not-so-expressive), who has a music cassette shop in Poompaarai, Kodaikanal. The girl, Mehandi (Shweta Tripathi, impressive in her Tamil debut) is a performer in a circus that has come to the place. Mehandi’s father (Sunny Charles), who also runs the circus, is wary of encouraging this relationship, for Jeeva’s father, Rajangam (Marimuthu) calls the shots in the village. Rajangam is also casteist, so much that he will not even let a worker enter his living room to talk over the phone to his mother, who is critical! While the framing device, involving Mehandi’s teenage daughter, Nisha (Pooja), who comes in search of Jeeva, of Mehandi Circus, is set in 2010, much of the film happens ...
