Hi all,
Continuing from the previous one for the movies in 2016 which I liked, the below is the ones which I did not like.
Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam
This movie is a classic showpiece of what all can go wrong in a drama. It was supposed to be an tight emotional drama, but I felt it lacked the connect. The lead characters are like replica from Selvaraghavan's previous movies, from their brought-up to their life style everything is just the same. I agree that story was a bit different from his previous ones, but one could see Selvaraghavan's signature everywhere in the plot, though it was not directed by him. One among the two below is going to be for sure,
a. Only Selvaraghavan can direct his stories, no other person can do it for making a connect with the audiences.
b. His wife probably took the script and was entangled between Selva's direction and Selva's script. Probably it was too high to live up to the expectation in directing a Selvaraghavan story.
After watching this, if you are a Selvaraghavan fan, you may be happy that he did not direct this.
Thaarai Thappatai:
Just like the above, this is again what we call a typical Bala movie with his routine set of villains. Usually only some scenes in his movies used to give you the Aaargh feel , but this entire movie does. I am not very sure whether this was intended, if yes great, if not you will really feel bad that this movie completely tortures you out.
Ilayaraja's background score is the only positive in the movie, I am a nobody to comment on the national award winning background score. Considering the fact that lot of movies gets banned in TamilNadu, this movie should have been banned for the simple reason that they promoted it saying the movie deals with the history and current situation of Karakattam. This is probably only for hardcore Bala fans, I unfortunately did not like this.
Jil Jung Jak:
The movie simply failed, it is barely a one time watch and may be I did not get the things intertwined in the plot for us to discover. I would say the promos for the movie was awesome, idea for the promo and the movie was awesome, but just that the screenplay for the movie failed. Since the movie is set in future but with a cowboy kind of story,it is simply difficult to relate and it is a mix of gang war in a road movie and probably something more which I could not find.
I assure you that it can give you good laughs at some comedy sequences but in the end I felt that it is like the Schrodinger's cat till you see it for yourself you can never be sure whether it is a good one or a bad one.
I liked some of the dialogues, but just that the story did not have any significance nor relation to the dialogue. In that case, this kept me wondering what was the need for the dialogue which I liked!
And same holds good for the movie as well!
Pokkiri Raja:
Jiva's bad patch continues with this as well. Sibiraj definitely makes a mark as a villain, but just like all mass-masala flick, he is still a dummy villain, the story simply did not require for a villain.
He is just there as a bad guy in a story nowhere connected to him. He is all good in his mannerisms reflecting his father, but simply falls flat because of the screenplay.Despite having an intersting plot which could make a decent fantasy movie, one will definitely say that this falls into the category where the oneline story would make you turn, but the feature film will make you run away!
Zero:
For a complete failure in story telling, I still remember my headache after seeing this movie. Complete random sequences given a screenplay, random characters meet and help each other and on top of it they try to relate to some catastrophy which the world is about to face. I simply did not understand what was the idea behind, was it a revenge or a ghost movie or a religious movie, one would realize that not everybody can make a cocktail which tastes good.
My opinion Zero simply justifies its title!
Idhu Namma Aalu:
For it could have been a better, this lay flat. For a movie where the screenplay holds the value, one should be careful in moving the story inbetween comedy sequences and in comedy sequences.
Sundar C , Bhagyaraj were the ones whom I would say can do it at ease. It was refreshing to see Simbhu back in the screen and Parotta Suri played probably for the first time in his career a city based character and was good too. It could have been better if some portions and unwanted song sequences could have been trimmed. One would probably see this over a lazy weekend with good amount of fast-forwarding and would make one think what was the movie about!
Jackson Dhurai:
A horrible ghost history movie. This is what would happen if somebody wants to make a movie but different genre movies are the trend, and you make changes to adapt to the trend and forget where you started and where you want to end with.
Kadavul Irukkan Kumaru:
Its high time Rajesh comes out of making movies based out of totally stupid heroines and heroes.
Once or twice it would be good to see , but making the same again and again will just kill it. RJ Balaji had to replace Santhanam, and I would say it was a complete failure. RJ Balaji went on and on with his monotonous dialogues which made me feel like somebody should have asked him to shut up and act and not just talk talk talk!
Kavalai Vendam:
2016 was a bad year to Jiva, he had three releases and all of it was complete failures.
This was a disaster for Jiva. Complete lack of story, touted to be romantic comedy, it was a dull and boring movie. The movie had no good laughs, and comedy was not intelligent and RJ Balaji once again failed here. Somebody should go with a decent script to Jiva, for him to justify this title.
There are probably more in this list, those are something which I am yet to see :).
If you have read till this , then thank you and I wish you a very happy new year !
Bye till next,.
