Aramanai 1 st half over Kollam..... Kuzhappam ellatha horror movie Glamour nannayi use cheythittund Comedy okke kollam Intrvl punch kidu..... Waiting 2 nd half
Aranmanai 2 by Sundar C came out on screens today. What one would expect after the previous flick is a strong motive for revenge! That has been expounded perfectly well in part 2 as well. The questions arising from the trailer are all cleared. Firstly the young boy isn’t Siddharth’s son but his brother’s son. And Hansika just like in the first part has a reason for killing people and she’s in such temper she doesn’t spare even the innocent young boy. How does Siddharth take Sundar C’s help to fight and escape the ghost? The first half, though not with a lot of comedy, misses out a little on the horror fused comedy genre. The jokes don’t give hearty laughs but just mild giggles. The plot and characterisation are clear to you from the beginning. Every single person has a distinct and lengthy role. Starting from the young boy, to the comedians, Poonam Bhajwa, Trisha, Hansika, Siddharth and Sundar C. You won’t find the screen dominated by one or two. The second half is a little cliched but the story makes us forget that. The flashback summons the reasons. It deals basically with familial issues and betrayal. Betrayal that can’t be forgotten through time or births. The fight between the hero and the ghost is not just physical fight. It brings you emotional moments. Hansika has essayed her role extremely well. Soori and Kovai Sarala comedy don’t work out that good. But Mano Bala manages through the second half giving light laughs. The actors have done a brilliant job and so has the cinematographer. What one would really enjoy throughout the movie is the BGM and songs. Hip Hop Thamizha has done a fantastic justice to music through his tunes. And the visuals of the songs are just beyond grand. They are of a top notch level. The locations are eye-catching and gorgeous just like the three lead ladies of the film! Sundar C’s team has thrust on us a message too. The message lies deep inside the story. One can’t say that the movie is scary because it’s more than just scary. It is a story of a woman who got cheated. Cheated by her own family hence wanting revenge. What happens in the end is just mystery. Your whole family can go watch it. The whole team of Aranmanai 2 have donejustice to their roles. Wait! Didn’t we miss out on something! Yes who is Hansika? Well it’s a horror story ! We can’t reveal you everything! Go watch it in theatres. Verdict : A tale of betrayal and vengence!
Review : Kalavathi – Decent Thriller Release date : January 29 2016 123telugu.com Rating : 3/5 Director : Sundar C Producer : Good Cinema Group Music Director : Hiphop Tamizha Starring : Siddharth, Trisha, Hansika Sundar C is back with the second installment of his hit film Chandrakala. Titled Kalavathi, this film has Trisha, Hansika and Siddharth as the main leads and has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it turns out to be. Story:- Murali(Siddharth) heads back to his native place along with his fiance Anitha (Trisha) after knowing that his father is in his last stages of life. As soon as the couple land there, some weird things start happening in their house. This is also the time when Anita’s bother(Sundar C) enters the scene and takes things in his hands. He installs cameras all over the bungalow and records every thing whats going on. After a terrible incident involving Murali’s brother, everyone decides to look at the recorded footage. To their surprise, they find out that the ghost in the footage is none other than Murali’s own sister Kalavathi(Hansika). What is the actual back story behind Kalavathi ? and Why is she after every one in the house ? To know answers to these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen. Plus Points: One of the biggest plus points of the film is that director Sundar has cleverly played it to the galleries. He has added enough comedy, thrill and intense moments which elevate the film well. Trisha looks gorgeous and is superb in her role. The way she has performed in the horror episodes is pretty good. While she impressed with her beauty in the first half, she gets scary during the second. Hansika is the heart and soul of the franchise and has done her job well. Even though she has less screen space, she causes good effect to the proceedings with her emotional avatar. Kovai Sarala’s comedy elevates the second half to a decent level. All her scenes with comedian Suri evoke good laughs. Siddharth plays his supporting role well and goes with the flow of the film. Second half is a major plus as the tempo of the film raises big time. Minus Points:- First half of the film is a huge drawback. The film has traces of Chandrakala as the look, thrills and performances instantly remind you of that film. The makers could have removed at least two songs to make the film a bit breezy. There is nothing much new or interesting that is happening during the first half. What’s more frustrating is that Sundar C had a lot of scope to scare the audience but he did not make proper use of it. All the thrills, comedy and family emotions that are shown during the first half lack clarity. There are certain logics which have been overlooked and they are clearly visible. Technical Aspects:- Visual effects of the film are pretty good and create a good impact on the audience. Music by Hip Hop Thamiza is below par as none of the songs register. Background score is good during the climax but is just below average for rest of the film. Editing is ok and so were the dialogues. Camera work is impressive as all the thrills were captured effectively. Coming to the director Sundar C, he has done a pretty decent job. He has made sure that there is enough glamour, thrill and comedy in the film and does not go overboard with the proceedings. Had he narrated the first half with enough emotions and some interesting horror elements, the effect would have been far better. Verdict:- The makers of Kalavathi have stayed true to the genre and did not experiment. They have played it safe and added enough elements which will go well with everyone. The film lacks novelty and also does not have any spine chilling moments. However, a decent second half filled with enough mas elements makes things work. Finally, if you manage to sit through the very ordinary first half, you can easily enjoy this decent suspense thriller. 123telugu.com Rating : 3/5
