Most Divergent Takes

Visaranai

Visaranai

2016 · FilmiBeat · Feb 2016

In spite of handling a blood-curdling script, Vetrimaaran has managed to stay away from gratuitous gore which has worked in favour of Visaranai. The film is hard-hitting and gritty, that makes it an impactful watch.

Aranmanai 2

Aranmanai 2

2016 · FilmiBeat · Jan 2016

Aranmanai 2 may work largely because of its second half and comical portions, but isn't it high time our directors avoid lacklustre movies in the name of horror-comedy?

Urumeen

Urumeen

2015 · FilmiBeat · Dec 2015

With an interesting plot, Urumeen looks promising on paper but a topsy-turvy narration aided by an ordinary screenplay could leave you in a state of chaos, which might in turn evoke discontent.

Naanum Rowdydhaan

Naanum Rowdydhaan

2015 · FilmiBeat · Oct 2015

Naanum Rowdydhaan has its moments. Though the movie blows hot and cold throughout, its fun filled climax and pre-climax portions will make you forget all its blemishes.

Puli

Puli

2015 · FilmiBeat · Oct 2015

Kudos to director Chimbu Deven for bringing back the fantasy genre to Tamil cinema. However, his average screenplay and other technical faults makes Puli just a one time watch.

Thani Oruvan

Thani Oruvan

2015 · FilmiBeat · Aug 2015

Thani Oruvan is a classified thriller which is new to Tamil cinema. The whole team deserves a pat on their back for pulling off a new age cinema while keeping all the commercial elements intact.

Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum

Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum

2015 · FilmiBeat · Jul 2015

With a theme as unique as this, Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum could've been much better had it been executed with little more intent. The movie is a rough mixture of comedy and drama in inappropriate proportions.

Papanasam

Papanasam

2015 · FilmiBeat · Jul 2015

We all know that Papanasam is a winning script and retaining Jeethu Joseph has helped immensely. But when a performer called Kamal Haasan takes up such a project, magic on screen is rest assured.

Kaaka Muttai

Kaaka Muttai

2015 · FilmiBeat · Jun 2015

Is it possible to entertain the audience while hitting them hard with subtle messages? Is it possible to satisfy both critics and commercial movie lovers to the fullest at the same time? Kaaka Muttai achieves exactly these. It's not everyday you come across movies like Kaaka Muttai, for it is rare.

Demonte Colony

Demonte Colony

2015 · FilmiBeat · May 2015

Kudos to the director for choosing a horror subject in his debut movie and delivering it in the best way possible. Demonte Colony is not for the weak-hearted.

Uttama Villain

Uttama Villain

2015 · FilmiBeat · May 2015

...a fitting tribute to the late K Balachander and is a film all Kamal Haasan fans can be proud of. On the flip side, it lacks the zest to keep everybody hooked throughout.

Kanchana 2

Kanchana 2

2015 · FilmiBeat · Apr 2015

...is definitely an entertaining movie but could've easily been much better with a better second half. Perhaps Lawrence should let go of his flashback formula in 'Muni 4'.

O Kadhal Kanmani

O Kadhal Kanmani

2015 · FilmiBeat · Apr 2015

The film can be called as a prequel of Alaipayuthey with all the elements required to entertain today's young movie goers. OK Kanmani is more than just OK.

Kallappadam

Kallappadam

2015 · FilmiBeat · Mar 2015

Kallappadam is refreshing amidst its slow paced screenplay and some logical loopholes. It is definitely an honest attempt and is also praiseworthy.

Kaaki Sattai

Kaaki Sattai

2015 · FilmiBeat · Mar 2015

Apart from Sivakarthikeyan and Anirudh's music, Kaaki Sattai doesn't provide anything extra ordinary. It can be termed as old wine in new bottle with too much of fun elements for a cop story.

Yennai Arindhaal...

Yennai Arindhaal...

2015 · FilmiBeat · Feb 2015

Though Yennai Arindhaal reminds us about Gautham's previous movies especially the romance scene between Ajith and Trisha, Ajith and Arun Vijay's performance saves the film and averts a major disaster.

Lingaa

Lingaa

2014 · FilmiBeat · Dec 2014

Watch Lingaa for its technical brilliance and KS Ravikumar's intriguing narration. If you are a Rajinikanth's fan then watch it again solitarily for the Indian Film Personality of the year.

Kaaviya Thalaivan

Kaaviya Thalaivan

2014 · FilmiBeat · Nov 2014

Kaaviya Thalaivan is a classic from Vasanthabalan which is simply brilliant except for the song placement of 'Yaarumilla' song which disturbs the pace of the movie. But that shouldn't stop anyone from witnessing Kaaviya Thalaivan's magic in theatres.
