Aadhavan review: Average entertainer
film: aadhavan(tamil)
theatre:CP cinehouse dts, qube, nedumangad, thiruvananthapuram
date and time: 20-10-09, 11 am
status:55%
Aadhavan starring Surya, directed by KS Ravikumar, has nothing new to say. It has a story which we have heard a thousand times in tamil, telugu and hindi mass masala entertainers.
Yes, its about a professional killer who finds his way into the house of judge (Murali) and waiting for an oppurtunity to eliminate him. As usual the hero becomes protector at the end and fights against the baddies.
This mass masala formula film has a decent mix of comedy, action, style, songs and sentiments, but i think they are not in desired proportions. And that makes the film stale. The script is racy, takings are good but there is something missing.
Surya steals the show with his energetic performance and getups. It was a surprise for me to see him even in 10 year old get up. Nayantara looks okay in the film with her controlled glamour show. Vadivelu also got many scenes to score. Eventhough it was a cakewalk for him, Murali got a role with comparatively good screen space. SarojaDevi, Rahul Dev, Sayaji Shinde etc were also good in their roles.
Songs are picturised beautifully. Music by Harris Jayaraj reminds his old works. Vaaraya is good to hear and Hazzile fizzle is worthwatch.
The film is good in some parts, moving through an expectable storyline, but the climax was an overdose. Dont know why Ravikumar killed his own work with that type of climax. Maybe, he wants to build tension during that situations. Anyway, that was horrible.
(Director and producer appears on screen during the last scene)
Surya should become more selective as this film is no way different or better than his recent film Ayan. As a good actor who doesnt hesitates to take risks, Surya should think about projects which can offer something novel.
Anyway, Aadhavan is an one time watchable movie for a tamil mass masala lover!
Verdict:Average

BLUE review: Blue can't thrill you
film: BLUE (hindi)
theatre: athulya a/c dts ufo,thiruvananthapuram
date and time: 19-10-09,11.30 am
status: 55%
Most awaited big budget movie movie,BLUE, which showcases the novelty of underwater beauty and action sequences is no way near the expectations.
The film only follows usual bollywood storyline and execution is also below average. Camera, music and sound are the areas which give relief to the audience from boredom.
storyline:
The story takes place in picturesque locations of Bahamas. Sagar, a sea diver (sanjay dutt) and Aarav (akshay) are friends and Mona (lara dutta) lover of Sagar.
Story takes a turn when Sam (zayed khan) flees from Bangok and reaches Bahamas to avail help from his elder brother Sagar. Then villian Gulshan (Rahul Dev) follows sam there too.
At last Sagar and Aarav decides to search the hidden treasure, which was left abandoned in the sea after a ship wrek in 1949, to help/save sam.
Presentation:
The film starts with title cards showing the beauty and marine life inside the sea, which was amazing. The story moves in a slow pace and the viewers never feel any tension or punch during the story development. Songs placed here and there in the movie are good to hear and nice to watch, but all of them are totally unwanted in the story.
Next thing which is worth mentioning are action scenes. The bike chasing sequence in bahamas (through road and rail) is amazing and thrilling. Also underwater expeditions too are interesting.
We should thank the cinematographer Laxman Utekar and sound designer Pookkutty for capturing the under water beauty and sound marvelouslly.
Actingwise, nobody delivered performance which is worth mentioning. Akshay is boring as usual and Sanjay had nothing to do. Lara's underwater bikini scenes were watchable. Zayed khan was good compared to others. Katrina and Kylie Minogue were also there in film (special appearance).
Blue can't thrill you if you expect something high. Technical depatments are the areas where we can find some excellence and freshness.
So,try to get audio and video songs of movie and watch it. If u still want to see the film, wait until DVD's are out.
Verdict: Below average.
