Kodi, Thodari, KIK, AYM, Kavalai Vendaam - Movie Review(s)

Watched few movies the last few days and thought how good directors have lost their golden touch.

Kodi - Out of this 5 movies, Kodi was way much better with story and performances. Dhanush and Trisha gave very good performances and the story is also little too different for tamil audience. You can surely watch it once.

Thodari – I can’t believe this is Prabu Solomon’s movie who made Kumki. It was one of the worst movie that I watched in recent times. Dhanush’s character was not even convincing, Keerthi Suresh looked awful and acted very bad, Thambi Ramaiah was irritating and the story line was not upto the mark. You do not even know why Prabu Solomon directed this movie? Just because he got lead pair’s callsheets. God only knows. Until the first 40 mins, only Thambi Ramaih was talking and the story did not even start. Please AVOID this.

Kadavul Irukaan Kumaaru (KIK) – This is another movie with no substance. I loved OKOK and Boss Engira Bhaskaran from director Rajesh. But this is a disaster, no clear story line, GV is acting the same, there were few funny moments from RJ Balaji, but that’s not enough for this movie. If you do not have anything useful to do, then watch this J.

Kavalai Vendaam – This was another kuppai movie. The director Deekay who took “Yaamirukka Bayamen” directed this movie. He completely lost control on the genre too.  You do not feel bad for the lead characters and their love, their breakup or anything. Just plain stupid. Jeeva should seriously think before committing to a movie. Very Disappointing.

Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada (AYM) – I was supposed to watch this movie in theater. But THANK GOD, I did not spend $20 to watch this. This is the WORST movie made by Gautam Menon. He has couple of themes that he follows in all his movies – travel, police, divorcee, narration. He left the divorcee part and exactly followed the others. It started off ok but moved into a crazy movie. In my opinion, this movie can be show cased as how badly a movie can be made. There were so many logical loopholes and the way the second half was moving, it was a terrible pain to watch this movie. I usually do not stop in the middle and that’s the reason I watched it fully. The only graceful thing is the movie is – Thalli pogaadhe (that too to hear and not to watch). Gautam Menon should surely think outside the box or everything will be a disaster. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH IT.

Verdict - Kodi was watchable. Others - watch at your own risk!
