Vedi Review – A Nice Action Entertainer

(Note: SI believes that Vishal and Sameera Reddy are a stain on Indian cinema)

 
After two successive flops in Villu and Engeyum Kaadhal, director Prabhu Deva returns with a remake of the Telugu film Souryam, which released in 2008 and went to become a hit.

Vedi’s story is simple.

Vishal is a police officer Prabhakar, who comes to Calcutta, in search of his lost sister.

He has only her photo in which she was a kid. Her life is in danger, so Prabhakar tries to protect her from the bad guys.

So will he do the assigned job? That’s what Vedi is all about.

Since her life is in danger, he travels to Calcutta by bus. On the way, he is captured by the baddies but escapes after killing them.

The story moves to Calcutta, where he enrolls in a college as a physical trainer. He joins with a fake name called Balu. Vivek is a physical education master in the same college, whose approval is needed for Vishal to become a trainer.

The heroine Sameera Reddy has a peppy song introduction in the film.

Sameera plays a bubbly college girl Paro. Vishal insults Sameera in a particular scene, as a result of which she becomes angry. But slowly the situation changes and she falls in love with him.

Sameera looks beautiful and her chemistry with Vishal is fabulous. Continue reading »

Avan Ivan Opens to Poor Reviews

Avan Ivan, which released in theaters today, has received poor reviews from a bunch of movie critics.

Directed by Bala, the film features Vishal, Arya and G.M.Kumar among others.

Here’s a sample of critical reviews for Avan Ivan:

Sify:

It looks like the film has been made with no proper script,….Yuvan`s music is nothing much to write about. Arthur Wilson`s camera is fantastic, especially the chase in the forest. Suresh Urs`s editing is crisp as the film (2 hours and 9 minutes) moves at a rapid pace.

Bala has made the film without a proper script. It looks like the award winning director wanted to make a film with two saleable stars aimed only at the box-office. If the film works at all, it works in bits and sequences featuring the mad hatters Vishal and Arya, who play to the gallery.

Rediff:

The problem, you notice, is that Avan Ivan delivers very little of the things it promises….The stumbling block arrives in the form of writer S Ramakrishnan’s dialogues, which aren’t that funny, and the crowd, which bursts into spontaneous laughter whenever each brother arrives, soon lapses into a puzzled silence….You’re never quite sure what and how Vishal and Arya’s characters are supposed to be shaped. You never really feel any affinity towards them. You’re not inclined to laugh at their antics, feel for their sorrows and their sudden shifts in character don’t gel well at all. The leading men try very hard (Vishal, especially, with his squint), but ultimately can’t carry off such flaky roles.

Behindwoods:

The writing, which lets down the movie big time, turns out to be erroneous, as the screenplay remains vague and directionless. One could literally become puzzled and impatient over the proceeding of the story until a twist that appears only during last 30minutes of the movie.

SearchIndia.com:

Terrible, Unimaginable Torture

Of course, some of the critics may have a positive word or two to say but the overall sentiment is that Avan Ivan is not up to snuff.

Folks, we strongly recommend you stay away from this piece of trash aka Avan Ivan.

Avan Ivan Review – Terrible, Unimaginable Torture

Avan Ivan Opens to Poor Reviews

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, People of all ages – SI brings to you the first comprehensive review on the Internet of the new Tamil Film “Avan Ivan” (starring Vishal, Arya, G.M. Kumar, Janani Iyer, Madhu Shalini and Ambika. Director: Bala).

Director Bala – True Elements
After directing alleged “gems” like Pitamagan and Naan Kadavul, Bala returns with another ‘compelling masterpiece’ called Avan Ivan.

Alas, the only vile thought running in my mind right through the movie was “Ivan verum Bala va? ille lavadaikebala vaa?”

Seriously, y’all don’t have wait for the end of the review to raise your middle finger to this horrendous piece of shit. Do it now and do it again with gusto.

Tamil Cinema and its mostly boot-licking patrons often misuse words like “Genius”, “Masterpiece”, “Reality”, “Class” etc. to provide handjobs to mediocre film makers like Bala. And Bala rightly responds to such fawning adulation by farting in the face of the gullible Tamil audience.

Story Synopsis
Given the travesty on the screen, the best thing to do would be to leave this section blank.

That would truly be the most accurate representation of Avan Ivan.

However, for the benefit of readers, here are the loosely connected dots to beguile you into a false impression that there was indeed  a story. Continue reading »

Thoranai Review – Vile Trash

Should a gaggle of rustic ambattans (barbers) suddenly decide to forsake their razors for the camera, the end result would be infinitely better than this grotesque abomination called Thoranai.

Save the unsavory feat of shaving a few unwary souls of their money and time, Thoranai’s sole claim to fame is that the crappy movie marks a new low from the augean stables of GK Film Corporation.

Devoid of any entertainment, bereft of anything resembling music and wholly lacking in quality, Thoranai is the the latest Kollywood synonym for garbage.

There were all of a dozen people for the 3:15PM show of Thoranai at Movie City in Edison, New Jersey on a Saturday.

Perhaps, the news had already spread fast even to this corner of the world that this is one trashy movie to steer clear of.

No Redeeming Elements
Ask not what’s wrong with Thoranai. Ask if there’s anything right at all with this dungheap of a movie.

An asinine story that tests the patience of viewers, bizarre stunt scenes that mock the laws of physics, dancing that ridicules the notion of grace and sophomoric comedy that plumb the depths of trash, Thoranai is a mind-numbing horror show. No more and certainly no less. Continue reading »
