Despite the above said positives, the film doesn’t have a big story-line and is sluggish in the first half. Had the director spent more time on writing, Massu would have been a better entertainer but now it’s yet another mass masala film with feel good spooky elements and the powerful Shakthi as bonus points.

…is another film where the concept is laudable but fails short in execution.

36 Vayadhinile is a better film than the most of the so called commercial movies and it is must watch for the family audiences who seek quality entertainment. There are some positive messages that the film conveys, which also need to be appreciated. Go for this one!

On the whole, its shortcomings notwithstanding, Uttama Villain is a good example of an entertaining commercial film that didn’t need to be lazy or senseless.

On the downside, the film runs out of steam in the second half and the rushed climax looks unconvincing. The minor hiccups notwithstanding, Vai Raja Vai is a satisfying watch.

…is for the masses who are looking for some entertainment this holiday season.

The premise is simple and to Mani Ratnam’s credit, he keeps the story focused and spares us of subplots. Technically OK Kanmani is superior as both AR Rahman and PC Sreeram have given their career best work for Mani Ratnam as the master craftsman himself is in tremendous form. Compared to the mediocre cinema we have been subjected to lately, O Kadhal Kanmani is definitely above a notch. It is a film bursting with the kind of lovely little moments that’ll bring a smile on your face.

Kallapadam is a film where everything is enjoyable except for the misfit casting of protagonists and dreary dialogues.

It is undoubtedly one of the worst films of the year in terms of story and production values. If Katham Katham released in early 70’s, it might have been an average venture but now we really feel sorry for the producer.

Rajathandhiram is an intriguing new age heist drama and at a crisp 135 minutes, a perfectly satisfying watch!
