Looks like a good thriller!

Keeping "original title" in mind, I thought it would be a new to TFI plot, a Hit & Run case, but the trailer seems to be about Kidnapping.
Yes, its immpressive eventhoug I have seen only 2 films of Siddarth (Boys & Stricker), am looking forward to watch this movie (in Chennai). Seems there are darker and negative shades to his character. Kay Kay Menon seems to be giving his Black Friday act, only here he has a factured hand. Nothing more to say until watching the movie.

OK, noted ... neerparavai + 180 are on my list.
Correction : Not 2 but watched 3 movies of Siddarth : include Ayudha Ezhuthu
[Didn't get a chance to watch Anaganaga O Dheerudu & Midnight Children - later lost interest to look for these movies]

Off Topic but related to Siddarth : Was seeing his Filmography - Is Sindar C making a movie with him titled "Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru" ?

[ajaybaskar]

Yes. Half the shoot is complete. Hansika is the female lead.

Udhayam NH4 is directed by debutant Manimaran, a former associate of Vetrimaaran. The film features Siddharth and newcomer Ashrita Shetty in the lead roles. Vetrimaaran has written the script, done the screenplay, and also penned the dialogues for this film. The film's soundtrack and background score were composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar. The film is expected to release along with a Telugu version in February 2013.

The film will be set against the backdrop of the National Highways leading to Bangalore. Initially the film was named Desiya Nedunchalai, but this name was already registered by Powerstar Dr. Srinivasan, which hence lead to the renaming of the title to Udhayam NH4. Vetrimaaran’s favorite actor Kishore is playing a pivotal role in the film, while Kay Kay Menon plays the antagonist, making his debut in Tamil cinema. Debut actress Ashrita Shetty was selected to play the lead female role. Ramya will appear in a cameo appearance in the film. Velraj is the cinematographer and editing will be by Kishore Te. The film will be produced jointly by Dayanidhi Azhagiri and Vetrimaaran as a tie-up between their companies Meeka Entertainment and Grass Root Film Company. On February 14, 2013, the first film trailer was released at Sun Music.

Maalai Pon Maalai is plain and simply SUPER GVP delivers again. I honestly didn't think GVP had it in him to compose such honey coated charanams :shock: :clap:

[NOV]

I am surprised that you think that way....
GVP seems to be the most consistent MD for now

[Sunil_M88]

There's no doubt over his consistency and I had just dropped a compliment for him i.e. Maalai Pon Maalai probably has the best charanams compared to the rest of GVPs songs. When I said
. I honestly didn't think GVP had it in him I meant I was surprised at the fact that he is the only current gen MD outdoing himself with every release ;) After a rustic Paradesi and AKKV, here we having back in his Urban form. Personally, I like his rural and classical songs more :musicsmile:

4.Song’s and G.V.Prakash back ground music.
5.screen play will be the highlight of this movie.
Finally the movie will be a big feast to everyone.

[Balaji.r]

Fairly decent movie, oru dhaba paakalam. surprisingly Siddharth was good.

Lip synch was bad for most part of the movie.Felt like dubbed version.

Havent heard the songs before and nothing registers as well. Biggest plus for this movie was run time, it was around 2 hours.

[NOV]

After watching gouravam this was a relief.
Everything that went wrong in gouravam was good here.
Single line story but the screenplay keeps you abdorbed.
The police guy was excellent.
The others did their parts well especially the fat friend :rotfl:
1st half was speedy while 2nd half slowed down fir a while before picking up to the climax.
I didn't like the ending though.

Verdict: go watch it without reading any story reviews.

He is the police guy I mentioned above. Excellent!
In the first scene he looked like a comedy police :sigh2: but after that he was menacing and quite good. :thumbsup:

+1
The flashback given by
1. Heroine's Ex jealousy boy friend
2. A good friend of Sidharth
3. and by Heroine herself
and the phone call between the investigating police officer with his wife(they did the same like hero-heroines in their life)

Vertimaran should have directed this simple story,the "clarity" is missing in the execution.. he would have extracted the best from the cast too,even KK was not at his best,the added humour in the serious scenes didn't worked for me except 1 or 2 places by that fat guy,songs and BGM were big let down,BGM towards the end Harris Vagaiyara(Enna avaru vocals Use pannuvaru,Ivaru instrumentala kaathula blood) Biggest plus is its running time,only 2 hrs 5 minutes i guess.

A time pass movie.

Strong rumours that Ramya(as she is called in the Kannada film industry)is Ex-Union Minister/Ex-Karnataka CM S M Krishna's unacknowledged daughter.

Udhayam NH4 (2013)
Directed by Manimaran
Written by Vetrimaaran
Produced by Dayanidhi Azhagiri & Vetrimaaran
Music by G.V.Prakash Kumar
Banner : Studio Meeka Entertainment & Grass Root Film Company

Starring : Siddharth, Ashrita Shetty, Kay Kay Menon & some friends

When a politicians daughter (Rithika) is kidnapped, he engages a "stone-hearted-no-pity-what-so-ever" police officier (Manoj Menon) to find Rithika and bring her back. Manoj with his hard-hand skills rounds up people and within minutes finds out who is behind the kidnapping. He then accepts the challenges to race with the kidnapper and finally narrows him down and retrives the victim, but just after a while he is back again in the race as the kidnapper had taken back the victim. Analysing the suituation and the aggresivity of the kidnapper, Manoj takes the short-cut by engaing goons in his quest, conering the kidnapper. Whats the motive behind the kidnapping and whether Manoj could save Rithika as well as his reputation forms the rest of the story.

Manimaran is aware that he does not have a story, but just a plot which is outdated and essayed in "n" number of films in the past. So he lays his forte on the scree play, and has partially came out sucessful in keeping us engaged. Narating the events thru many vitnesses increases the (already-known) suspence. But the use of technology to track down the kidnapper were far fetched, and I am not sure if everyone followed anything atall. Anyway, so the ground where he places his plot is on a highway, something not new either, but the Highway was missing in the movie and we could see the by-pass only. But the names like NH were used though. Being a Road Movie, the road is missing - Ref of a Road Movie : RGV's ROAD. On the other hand, the amature graphics during the title credits makes you think whether you are in 2013 ? the 80's title cards were better. (there is a movie where they show the names on the REAL banners along side of a highway - can't remeber the movie). Anyway, it made me remember the pains Sasikumar took to shoot his title card for Eesan. It went unnoticed, but in Udhayam's case, they never want to draw any attention even while showing the cell-phone trackings.

Siddharth tries to do what Madhavan did in RUN. His stiff looks and showing the sharpness in his body language is good. But that also becomes a big hinderness to his dialogue delivery. He looks sad. Why ? Ashrita is said to be 1 day minus 18 years, but her attitude is like a 10 years old. Maybe thats the unexplained characteristic of her character. Kay Kay introduces himself as a "macho" cop but in the 120 minutes runtime he truns into a "TOM" and a preacher.
Spl Mention : The guy who comes as the Cyber Crime assistant (who shouts SIR all the time) has acted in many short films (my favorite is "China Tea"). I think his name is Kali or Kalai. Happy that he has made it to the films too. All the best to him and he has immense skills to potray in the roles he accepts.

The climax is briliantly filmed. Some of the chases and the kidnapper who is a step ahead of the police is interesting. But over-sharpeness of Siddharat in the lines of Allu Arjun was a bit too much. GVP's "wake-up" music are too load. It does remind me of Bourne Identity theme. His forte in melody and soothing music is intact as there are parts where the lead pair fail to emote, the only grace being the music. Editing is top notch.
