Favourite Films of 2013

[mappi]

Finally, here is a list of MY TOP 10 movies released in 2013 which kept me thoroughly gripped and entertained :

- Soodhu Kavvum
- Paradesi
- Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum
- Neram
- Haridas
- Thanga Meenkal
- Moodar Koodam
- Vishwaroopam
- Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara
- Masani

Attempts worth mentioning, even though it may have failed to impress. There was "something" to talk about in these movies :

- Mathil Mel Poonai
A rare genre in TFI. Just for the attempt, it should be welcomed. If they have cut down the violence or atleast captured it realistic, it could have done wonders for the film.

- Kutti Puli
They should have got a story and put the violence inside it, but they worked on reverse, like - "Hero should slit the throat - why - here we can tell something and they will accept" - kind of movie. But the village backdrop was quite impressive.

- 6
A genre quite rare in TFI. The problem is that it misses the crispness. Crispness is not weighed by the duration of the film, but how it advances. The movie was like a mountain ride with many ups and down moments tiring the viewership, but indeed a welcome attempt that Shyam's unneeded getup change was atleast noted.

- Kadal
MR had the right ingredients in the movie, but the sad part is that its not only old school but his visual narrative did not reach the audience.

- Aadhi Bhagavan
Caught between mainstream and realistic cinema, Ameer flattered a lot. If he had concentrated in any one aspect of the film, it would have been on the top list, but he tried to make a concentration of many thing which drained the movie making Ravi's daring and phenomenal attempt an Epic failure.

- David
The hindi version was more engaging towards the end, but still I consider the Tamil version a fresh attempt in narration, which ofcoarse back fired.

- Ivan Veramathiri
Where it lost my interest is still a mystery to me. A unique representation of the story and some excellent stunts should be appreciated.

- Madha Yaanai Koottam
Orula oru perusu sethupochi (1st half) - Ourla elarom sethu poranga (2nd half). That's the thing which made the film not so unique. Many ideas went into filming and has some mind blowing performance, but after a while it seemed as though riding a horse in a fat pot. Liked the whole village episodes and the fast narration/cutting using the village band at the death-house.

- Thagaraaru
Again a good tale told using as many cliches possible which certainly does not take away your interest. But even though I appreciate the attempt, I did not get the wholesome feel after watching it.

- Sundaattam
A very good backbone story - gang war. Liked the whole premiss, new faces, the slang etc., but what they did was wrongly mixing the sports genre with gang violence leaving you hanging there not knowing whats happening. Indeed a good attempt on gang war and carom.

- Mariyan
A fully wasted attempt placing the bets only on visuals. If the romance-thriller was well distinguished, it could have been a interesting watch. Misses the punch.

I just liked these movies :
- Arrambam
- Jannal Oram
- Biriyani
- Singam 2
- Kanna Laddu Thina Asaiya

Spl. Mention
- Vidiyum Munn
- Irandaam Ulagam
- Sutta Kadhai
(I have not yet watched Thalaimuraigal)

Altogether a fabulous year for TFI in film making. Just need a little more push and sharpness to get represented in International Film Festivals and take our glorious story telling techniques world-wide. 2014 looks quite promising too, entertainment all the way.

Thanks NOV.

Movie Buff,
555 - I think I had talked about this movie briefly during its release time. The movie certainly did impress me with its sub-plot and Bharat's body pack works. But just like Vishal's Samar, you could see a confusion mingling in the air. I cannot pinpoint whether its due to lack of confidence or over stress on script to frame the sub plot and tie the knots in the end, it just fell flat and failed to hook me in.

Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer : Suseenthiran is one of my favorite film maker. He has got the substance and the potential. AKS basically tries to stir the dark pool of the society and kindle an uneasiness while viewing it. That's about the movie, on the film making front, I did not find anything path breaking or unique. And I am quite sure I am not going to re-visit it.

Pandiya Nadu : Its just another main stream movie (a commercial film). In that category its a pure entertainer. But nothing quite catches the eyes, except for the over stretched stunt sequences as though trying to please the neighboring State audiences. Plus its a clone of Naan Mahan Alla (Karthi Version). What I was looking in the movie was the push for the Vishal character to take down the baddies. Even though it was conveyed, visually Vishal looked like another "Last-action-Hero" type. Well to point out what I mean, take Danush starrer Puthupettai or Polladhavan. The experience you gain with what the character really gets into while in survival mode is completely missed in Pandiya Nadu. I think that's the core of the whole movie which looked rather empty.

But of coarse the above movies can be in anyone's favorite list and any movie should deserve that, that's the best reward a movie can get and the best award for the film maker.

Masani : As you have not yet watched the movie, you will certainly get it when you watch it *winks*. Its a fabulous low budget movie, which puts smiles on your face in each and every scene. Plus, its a TFI horror movie. I enjoyed the climax too which not only looks quite cheesy, but you could see how well the film maker tries to put the knot. (And I adore Ramki). Finally, at times you got to take a break and just enjoy the proceedings ! This movie certainly deserves a recognition merely for its sincere attempt towards its genre and for not making computer animated gimmicks to roll the movie forward.

[hattori_hanzo]

Why is it that none of the websites mention Adhalaal Kadhal Seiveer in any of their lists :-( .
Suseendran's Pandiyanadu was good but AKS certainly deserves a better place.

I watched 22 Tamil movies this year.

The BEST

1. Vishwaroopam (Cant think of any other movie coming close to this)
2. Soodhu Kavvum
3. Aadhalaal Kadhal Seiveer
4. Onaayum Aattukuttiyum

Good ones-- Those which I watched after hearing good reviews and got satisfied

5. Pandiyanadu
6. Varuthapadaadha Valibar Sangam

Average-- Once-pakkalaam OR Innum nalla pannirukkalaame types

7. Samar
8. Chennaiyil Oru Naal
9. Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaaru
10. Neram
11. Aarambam
12. 555
13. Singam II

Below Expectation-- The Idhukku thaan ivvalo build-upa? category

14. Vidiyum Munn
15. Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya
16. Ethir Neechal
17. Pizza 2: The Villa

Crap-- Thanjaavoor Kalvettu padangal. After watching these movies, my reaction was like Andrea's when she watches Kamal throwing the dollars up.

விஸ்வரூபம்-

அசத்தலான திரைக்கதை மூலம் பட்டையை கிளப்பிய படம்.
2வது பகுதியை சீக்கிரம் ரிலீஸ் பண்ணுங்கப்பா.

சிங்கம் - 2

கமலுக்கு சகலகலா வல்லவன் போல் சூர்யாவிற்கு சிங்கம் படம். சூர்யாவின் அருமையான நடிப்பும்,பர பர திரைக்கதையும் படத்தை ரசிக்க வைத்தது.

வருத்தப்படாத வாலிபர் சங்கம்

ரொம்ப நாளைக்கு அப்புறம் கிராமத்து பின்னணியில் ரசித்துப் பார்த்தப் படம்.

பார்க்காதே...பார்க்காதே... பாடல் அருமையான மெலடி.

ஆரம்பம்

அஜித் எல்லா படத்திலும் நடந்து நடந்தே தனது திரை உலக வாழ்க்கையை முடித்து விடுவார் போல் தெரிகிறது.

தலைவா-

இப்போ எல்லாம் மனம் கவலையாக இருந்தால் தலைவா படத்தை தான் பார்த்து கொள்கிறேன். விஜய் பண்ணும் காமெடியை பார்த்தவுடன் கவலை எல்லாம் பறந்து விடுகிறது.

பாண்டிய நாடு, சமர் படங்களும் ரசிக்கும் படியாக இருந்தது.

Ajithfederer / HonestRaj,

I assume you are aware that I volunteered to be an operator in a cinema hall. I project about 3 to 4 films a week. Thus automatically increasing the view count of most to all of the Hollywood films and European films. Plus with few contacts in this circle, I get information about screenings of other foreign films, and I follow Cannes quite closely as I adore the work they do towards promoting film as an art. To compete with them, I never miss to watch Indian movies, notably TFI movies. Compete in the sense, to talk with the audience about our movies. One day I hope a TFI movie will be screened under a competition in Cannes, and I be there to invite the foreign guests and show them the hall and when our movie wins, I would like to see their standing ovation. With the pace in which our film makers are handling the art, I am sure the day is not far.

Year 2013 was a generous year, as many of the movies had a theatrical release here in France. Ayngaran, BR Films, Anna Films & Night ED Films have done some wonderful job in bringing in our movie here. They have went to an extent in accruing contracts with Cinema Hall chains like CGR, Gaumont & Pathé as well as screening the film almost throughout France, initially it was only at Paris. Most of the films, I caught them at the theater, just missed Mariyan and skipped David Tamil version. Big disappointment was the show cancellation of Vishwaroopam at GrandRex. During my visit to India March 2013, I saw Vishwaroopam and other handful of films. Youtube was quite generous too, as most to all films are in there (Telugu / Hindi). Even though I hate to watch them through youtube, sometimes you got to go with the choices you have got. Finally I collect DVDs/Bluray of films and documentaries based on films.

Time : I manage to find some. Maybe being mobile-less and no nothing at social media, I have slightly more time to catch up with a film and write a few things here. Voilà !

What 2013 really needs is an "unfavorites" thread. I think I walked out of or stopped more movies in 2013 than in any previous year.

Ethir Neechal - I actually watched the whole thing, but only because it was raining when I entered the theater and I wanted to give it time to stop.
Varthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam - Left at intermission, only because the row we were sitting in was full of people. Even the teenager I was with whose treat the movie was supposed to be said, OK let's go.
Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara - Left after half an hour. People say the second half was better but I don't believe them.
Theeya Velai Seyyanum Kumaru - Stopped after half an hour to do something more entertaining, like cleaning the oven.
Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya - Stopped at around intermission. Later in the year, I walked into shooting for the next movie of one of the stars. I gave the crew my sympathies, which they accepted gracefully.
Kutti Puli - I actually watched the whole thing but with the one finger on the 2x speed button. The ending was disappointing, in that the bloodbath did not off more people.
Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal - The first segment was awful and painfully slow, the second was less bad but more Cheran, then we agreed that we would stop the movie rather than argue about who picked it in the first place.
Was that horrible Karunas movie with "Koyambedu Silkakka" this year?

The only 2013 release that I enjoyed was Soodhu Kavvum, but I think benefited from seeing it without hearing all the hype.

[kumarsr]

Vidiyum Munn is pretty good and underrated (although story is depressing). Stylistically similar to Soodhu Kavvum
