Mr. And Mrs. Ramchari (2014)
To relish with reality about peoples of normal life and love
PROS: About Art: During the childhood days of the hero the lord Krishna photo will be right side in his house and family photo of him as a child. Later when he is adult the Krishna photo will be changed to left side of the house, his elder brother will be given importance with only his photo, then when later father realized the importance of younger one the hero's photo will be placed. It is a nice example of when we visit the home where we grew as a child we still see the same objects which we seen as a child in same or different place, which brings us the reminiscences. Peacock design, the flowers to marriage hall and the marriage area is exceptional art display.
About Cinematography: The hero of this movie always sits in the opposite direction when he sits in the back of his father's vehicle for a ride by his father. Now comes the moment where the hero who was disliked by his father until now when he hears the supportive words from his father who finally understands him, sits in the forward direction in the back pillion of the bike which the father rides, in the mirror which shows backwards the heroine is standing there and the vehicle is moving forward which the camera captures beautifully and depicting the hero till now made the wrong choice about his father and in his life and he is taking the right forward direction. The use of the camera technology by capturing him and the heroine in the mirror when the fiancée of the heroine ask them to take the photo is another camera wonder. The night scene capturing of the boat in Goa is serene and whenever someone speaks the camera goes in the correct direction like in the Goa after wedding speech by the Father of the girl who married, and camera goes side angle whenever the three friends meet in top of the house, the scintillating capture of songs and the climax scene
About Costume designing: Costume designing of the hero and the heroine suits the bill appropriately. The usage of dresses of all religions in one song which also contains like no dress in one bath scene to the appropriate usage of kodagu(Coorg)cultural which is the best dress of all sums it up the costume designing. Even the heroine's mother's sarees and the silent heroine's father attire of T-shirts, to the reality dress of Hero's parents and his uncle which pretty much relates to the financial situation of each and everyone in this movie, the main thing I like this in this movie is selection of heroine's dress which is very much apt to the situation unlike some movies which looks weird and do I need to say the attraction of blue colour shirt of the Hero in the song "Annthamma song" stay with me forever.
Interesting scenes:The National anthem of India tops first though it is used in various movies but when the entire audience in the theatre stood up for it, that shows how much the movie is into someone and its ability to bond or reach to the audience. When the hero drops the cigarette to attract the heroine and the camera shows she smokes but later it turns out to be a ragging scene. The heroine's mother character whom we all might hate is caring and loving mother who warns her daughter, showing care while she recovered from suicide attempt, Malavika stands top in acting.
With dialogues such as "Every hero is once a fan of another hero" and along with his personality, acting and choosing this subject which suits him is doing no harm to his career. Hope to see more real movies from him.
The comedian's introduction with music of famous "Rajinikanth introduction music in his Muthu movie" brings happiness to the audience who were worried how the hero and heroine will be joined and the background music usage of guitars, piano and the BGM in Goa and in the tension scenes after the fight between hero and his friend who happens to be brother of heroine and the songs with some good tunes made me move my fingers as if though I am playing Guitar and Piano. The apt selection of heroine for this movie makes it a point to watch this movie. With only one friend other than the heroine's brother and giving role to him by the person who searches and brings the lover of the fiancée makes it simple but effective usage of characters in this movie.
CONS: Stunts scenes showing too much chasing running and were reminiscence of some movies. Two marriages happening in same city and date. But you like this scenes much because in real life you use to chase peoples and use the same kicking techniques like holding the poll and rotating to kick others. Even there is no villain in this movie which is a complete paradigm shift from normal masala movie, it is just some negative characters which every one of us comes through in our lives. Even two marriages happening in the same city and date is justified by both approaching same marriage planner who tends to do the same and he gets them to same shops for business purposes which are used as a interesting comedy scenes in this movie.
The credit goes to the Director who put all these scenes in the movie and utilized all the strengths from Music, Cinematography, Actors, Art workers and the Who's Who of the movie and to the producer who made it possible financially.
P.S: I don't know the Kannada language well in which this movie is made up of but the gripping screenplay and the reality of this movie which I relate to Kannada people and back home my Tamil people made me watch it with interest and relish it.

Saivam (2014)
A purely veg movie of affable characters and the bond between them.
"Saivam"
A movie about bond between family relations and incidents which happens in our family, message of vegetarianism. At 8 years old Sarah is my favourite actress, her expressions of cringing in fear regarding the safety of cock, smile that brings cheer to everybody, solving problems by not knowing the actual situation, she reminds us of younger girl child in our family.
Pros: When a cook in the family by lying the cock was found easily brings the entire family to a place when everyone is separated due to a issue, reminds us the value of the true servants in our family how he shares rapport with everybody in the family and how he has nothing to loose in critical situations but can do anything to bring happiness to a family.
Family bonding, love for the animals, large houses, Sarah, the little boy who fights with Sarah, teenage love, team work. Once you start watching this movie you will easily get into the family, such that you will know what is the situation each character will face next or do next as it entirely replicate our family like the question the childless women is going to get her about child in the temple, a grown up girl not being allowed to talk to the grown up boy almost all the scenes happened to everyone of us or watched by us happening to our relatives.
Nirav Shah's cinematography of using only flames by lamp and light from fire in a song, natural lights used inside our house and scenes reflecting early morning shows us the value of him and whenever I thought and situation needed a background score he brought one.
Cons: Not a single scene to bring out much tears which we seen a lot in the director and Sarah duo's previous combination, which would have brought us some more affectionate into the characters. Sometimes the Sarah character is cinematic.
Verdict: Totally a movie about affable characters for those who are affable and those who aren't.
Director: A.L.Vijay Photogrphy: Nirav Shah Music: G. V. Prakash Kumar Actress: Sarah Arjun( 8 year old girl),Nassar and many intriguing actors.
P.S: sorry to the person on whose leg I walked over without intention while running in a hurry and thanks to him for later helping me out by flashing light from his mobile phone while finding my dropped mobile phone.
Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum (2013)
No heroine, no dances amusingly yet an Indian movie
Onayum Aatukuttiyum – a movie for the knowledgeable cinema goers.
Best scenes:
A group of blind were able to join a person to a killer known as wolf(hero) which is a travesty that the police with the eyes unable to reach him, the director punch lies in that scene.
Shot entirely at night these movie depicts the people of the netherworld, even if you want to do good your dark past wouldn't easily let you see the light.
If you want to give money for timely help a rich man would take it but not a pauper.
Professional doesn't go until finishing his work that applies also to a professional killer (The police who got shot at last who tried to escape by saluting).
The following scene after where a Police who tried to attack the wolf(hero) by asking for water but when needed who could never lay his hand on it.
The scene in the climax where the hero would naturally take the turn to go to the other and a killer who got red handed.
Cons:
All the police running to the originating station to the last station believing a killer's words and who cannot watch him or see him in the in between stations through other police to know about the killer's location.
The ability of the villain to go to the exact apartment in the climax scene without any information.
Pros:
Acting of Sri and Myskkin, Ilayaraja's music and Balaji V Rangha's Camera.
With no songs Back ground Music lends the important aroma to the gripping screenplay of the movie.
Just showing to Indian audiences that movie is just not for heroines and dances.
My take: I just cried in the climax and the BGM just enabled me to shed out more tears to come out not only popping but also just flow out and I would like you all to experience it if you are a real movie goer.
Director: Mysskin
Music Director: Ilaiyaraaja
Cinematography: Balaji V Rangha
Paradesi (2013)
Paradesi movie is about lost paradise.
PARADESI movie review by me.
Paradesi movie is about lost paradise.(Just juggle the words paradise,paradesi will come,actually the story is about people who leave their place on lookout for better future (paradesi looking out for paradise) but here as how the words can be juggled their life was juggled to Hell.
Just now seen "Paradesi" movie,I got involved in the movie so much,the tears came when exactly the climax came even though I don't know it is Climax,that is Direction at its best,kudos Bala.
Cons:The movie reminded me of Apocalypto at some scenes but it is the story about "paradesi's" who were same and who were cheated and tortured like this.
Pros:Whenever we go to tourist places in TamilNadu and Kerala border we just take picture of Tea estate and Tea plantation but this movie rather pictures their History,sufferings,life in ancient India.
I never seen a Indian movie hero living in a Hut in a movie or be it shots shot inside a Hut or treated like beggar in the Indian movies of this past decade.
Verdict:If you love drinking a cup of tea,please see the movie and feel the aroma of this movie,which extracts not tea from tea leaves but Blood from this leaves.
This movie is adapted from the novel named "Red Tea" by Paul Harris Daniel ,which I believed and the people who watched this movie or those who have read the novel will believe as aptly named.
Director:Bala
