Thoongavanam
Stylishly made. But apart from that nothing worked for me. The movie wanders between the dance floor, kitchen and toilet and it becomes boring after a while. I thought they would've worked on this and made a change to the Nuit Blanche script. But it is ditto. I didn't find the original impressive. Same goes for the remake as well..

Have you seen "Nuit Blanche" (sleepless night )? , Is thoongavan an "Inspiration" from this or a 100% remake ( frame to frame) ?Quote:

I think you are very special Param when comes to raising questions for anything under the sun. The fun is you constantly doing it tirelessly for years. May be this question the millionth of yours. Congrats! Anyway.. Please go and watch before collecting these kind of info on any movie. What does it go to make difference in forming opinion? Even if TV's screen play is good compared to original, you are not going to praise it. Right? You would come up with the one more question like "what is the girl's name who kissing Kamal?Quote:

I was reading thoongavanam and vedhalam reviews, very good reviews about "thoongavanam ", but average reviews about vedhalam
, I am not doing this because it is a kamal Film, if you think like that I cant change that ,BTW I watched Visawaroopam 3t imes and dasa 2 times in the cinema, so it is nothing to do with the kamal :)
Finally a post from Param which is longer than his signature content. That's what we all want Param. Good!
Not surprising since I knew that you weren't impressed by Nuit Blanche in the first place.....:)Quote:

And to do that in as short as 100 minutes was commendable. So its actually good that Kamal's retained the essence of the original in my opinion. Its a concoction that worked for me...So why not....
AS,
If Nuit Blanche worked for you, then for sure TV will please you even more. :)

Annabelle
Skipped this movie in theatre because of the loads of negative reviews. Watched it in home video last night and found it decent.

Why new movie reviews are not posted in respective threads?
If I say the same, its cooked up review it seems :(Quote:

Mr. GreyShirt : "If you guys are talking about Bond movies then you gotta talk about the credit music. How was the Spectre's music? "
Sam Simth's single "Writing's on the Wall" features as the Bond Title Song in the film Spectre. It has more character to it, and if you have watched the film, you will easily relate it to the name of the single. And this time, Bond goes for flames and the hair of the dancing beauties are flying ashes. Simply superb definitions if you get to watch it on 4K.
Everything about the movie is great - Hinx & Mr.White were convincing. The Jaguar C-X75/Aston DB10 chase was spectacular.
Will talk about the movie in the Foreign Films thread, later.
Spectre - "Welcome, James. It's been a long time, and, finally, here we are."
Ed Warren, Lorraine Warren & the doll named Annabelle are real and the story is not based but inspired from real-life suituation. The museum where they put the doll exists. That's what makes watching the movie chilling. And yes, its quite decent for a horror flick.Quote:

My personal favorite since the Timothy Dalton years is Sheryl Crow's 'tomorrow never dies' which apparently has chord progressions not much different from 'o butterfly' from Meera by IR - which came several years before TND!
For me, its Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger, followed by Live and Let Die by Wings. After a terrifying Bond Opening scene, Tina Turner voice is what a Bond soundtrack needs. Then ofcoarse you got Madonna.
Vedhalam( I think it's better to post here as posting there might start some unnecessary confusion)
I found 1st half quite interesting actually..apart from the comedy,shruthi scenes and some unbelievable fights! Suspense factor was nice! The fight situation in yacht nice! But fight choreography could have been realistic and suspenseful!
Interval scene the dialogues were nice although over the top!
It's only the 2nd half which never work for me! Yen Siva ippdi?aaluma Doluma was 👍🏼 sentiment scenes were nice here and there! Ajiths innocent performance👍🏼
I am sure ajith fans would love the movie! For the rest not that bad as they make it seem in Twitter!2nd half don I expected something like mass don! I personally found the maari act not well suited for the screenplay! From what I saw fans seemed to like yacht fight and mass dialogues very much👍🏼👍🏼 comedy was romba Sumar! Songs was not that nice! BGM in veeram was more mass! Ajiths performance all really nice! However my humble request is director Siva can make it a bit less predictable in future films!
Agree, I am going for the 2nd to time see Spectre , would have been awesome had the movie had better bond girls :|Quote:

Let me protect myself from spammers by posting here
Vedalam - as ajith says it was dhamasu dhamasu
After first half I thought it couldn't be bad than this but 2nd half proved me wrong. Shruthi, soori, bgm, villains and ajith as vedalam were irritating to the core. Don't you mess with me song was :sigh2:
Ajith's dance for aaluma doluma with heavy beats were like traffic police actions though song was trimmed. Was this song shot in hurry ? Not sure why ajith screams in most of the scenes. Therika vidalama graphics scene looked very odd. Best part ajith doesn't need any tracking device to find villians [emoji38]
Positives - Ajith as ganesh, lakshmi Menon saving scene from hospital and climax last scene
Negatives - vedalam character, comedy sentiment try by ajith, soori, poor bgm and finally the worse of all shruthi . why is she there in movie?
Ajith better act in movie like thoongavanam without dance, songs and punch scenes. It suits him better. Comedies and sentiments never worked with him
I don't think this kind of Review is going to do any harm in posting in Vedalam Threat. I don't any of us(Ajith Fans) would actually be against it. And Thanks for the Review. :)Quote:

thonga vanam..a bland thriller..elarrum edge of seat solranga, but for me its was quite slow paced and the twist was typical stuff..if this is called edge of seat, papanasam ellam enna solrathu..sorry to say, writing thrillers is not Kamals forte..
Disappointing Deepavali releases so far..next Salman Khan thaan kapathanum..:oops:
exactly..reminds me of Vijays Aaddhi..that aaaii :banghead: and the villains voice..enamo payi padathuku dub panraga polaQuote:

Kannam vaththiya Trisha did justice to her role as did all other characters.

Julia Roberts? guess what, JR apparently is not exactly liked by a lot of women! seriously, thats why the Bond franchise carefully chooses female leads that will be liked by both genders!
