Vettaiyan (2024)
Best standalone movie with original pre 90s Rajini charisma without one-liners!!
In Vetaiyaan, Rajinikanth steps into a role unlike any other he has played before, offering audiences a glimpse into a world where his charisma carries the story rather than his trademark punch dialogues pre-1990s days. Directed by a fresh face in Tamil cinema, Vetaiyaan is a socially charged thriller tackling the themes of education and capitalism-a rare combination in mainstream Indian cinema, especially one featuring Rajinikanth.
A Good Standalone Movie:
One of the strengths of Vetaiyaan lies in its standalone quality. It doesn't rely on previous franchises or sequels, nor does it attempt to draw heavily from the usual tropes , we expect in a Rajinikanth film that defined him after 1994's "Baasha". Instead, it focuses on being a solid, well-rounded story that tackles real issues without getting bogged down by unnecessary commercial elements. This approach allows Vetaiyaan to be enjoyed by any audience without prior expectations, making it a powerful addition to Rajinikanth's repertoire. The plot stands on its own, with well-written characters and a clear narrative that doesn't feel forced or over-the-top, which might be surprising for a film of this genre and stature. There is ample comedy too as expected in the usual Rajini film but they are short and sharp mainly by his co-star Fahadh Faasil
Rajinikanth Without the Usual Punch Dialogues:
Vetaiyaan may be the first film in a long time , where Rajinikanth doesn't lean on his signature punch dialogues to carry the narrative. In fact there is only a single one-liner in this film. Fans of his style may miss his one-liners, but the absence of these lines gives a Rajini film film a refreshing authenticity. The last time we saw this Rajinikanth was in " in the film Thalapathy " in 1991. Rajinikanth's character is not portrayed as a larger-than-life figure but as a grounded, reflective personality who represents a second coming for the superstar in this age. This subtle shift highlights the growth of Rajinikanth as an actor in his retirement years , willing to explore roles that don't rely on his usual defining style. In fact Rajinikanth in this film is closer to the 70s and 80s decades.
While Rajinikanth's past characters have often been memorable for their catchy dialogues, Vetaiyaan proves that his magnetic screen presence doesn't require them. He carries himself more through his natural charisma, body language, and mannerisms, making his performance feel more nuanced. There's only one punch dialogue in the entire film, which is well-placed and impactful, giving a sense of restraint that works well with the story's tone.
A Thriller Based on Social Evil: Education and Capitalism
At its core, Vetaiyaan is a thriller rooted in a social evil that many will find relatable: the flawed system of education in India and the influence of capitalist forces. The story revolves around how education has become a business rather than a means to uplift society. The film portrays this theme with chilling accuracy, revealing the often-hidden greed and corruption that prey on students and parents alike. This thriller doesn't shy away from showing the darker side of education, emphasizing the struggle of common people against an elitist system.
The antagonist, representing the capitalist agenda within education, is well-crafted and convincingly portrayed. The director's take on capitalism within the education sector is balanced, avoiding the usual melodrama that often accompanies such themes. The film resonates strongly with the audience, leaving them with questions about their own lives and choices in an increasingly profit-driven world.
A More Mature and Grounded Rajinikanth
Perhaps one of the most memorable aspects of Vetaiyaan is seeing a mature Rajinikanth playing a role where his actions and gestures speak louder than words. The film doesn't need to rely on the explosive action or larger-than-life moments seen in his other movies. Instead, we see a character more reflective of Rajinikanth's age and experience. This grounded performance makes the story feel more impactful and sincere, setting Vetaiyaan apart from his other works.
Final Verdict
Vetaiyaan is an excellent thriller that dares to take on a social evil often ignored or downplayed in popular media. With Rajinikanth breaking his own stereotypes and an intelligently woven story that speaks to our modern-day realities, this film is one of his most mature and compelling projects. It's refreshing to see him excel without the reliance on punch dialogues and flamboyant action, proving once again that he can captivate audiences with pure, unfiltered talent. Vetaiyaan is not just a Rajinikanth movie-it's a powerful story with a conscience, a well-executed drama that promises to linger in the minds of its viewers long after the credits roll.
Alien: Romulus (2024)
Enjoyable alien ride this time for a classic franchise
Alien Rommulus marks a slight departure from the high-octane action sequences of its predecessors, opting for a more character-driven and suspenseful approach by. The film is based on colour palette visual tone of the original Alien (1979) and Alien 3 (1993). Like previous Alien movies that serve as allegories for contemporary events, this installment features themes of capitalism intertwined with exploitation. Alien 91979) can be seen as a commentary on gender dynamics, particularly through the character of Ripley, who subverts traditional gender roles. The horror of the alien creature can also be interpreted as a metaphor for sexual violence and the fear of the unknown, particularly in relation to the female body and reproductive autonomy. In Aliens (1986) , we saw an allegory of the Vietnam War; in Alien 3 (1993) , the AIDS pandemic was a central theme; and Alien: Resurrection (1997) tackled the moral ethics of DNA cloning in the mid-1990s. In Romulus, we can observe the modern-day issues of globalization , the struggles of the industrial proletariat, migrant exploitation in an interconnected world , hinted at by the diverse international cast and the events that unfold. The alien creature itself symbolizes the global tyrannies of multinational corporations. These themes become very evident in the elevator scenes where allegory of the industrial "proletariat rising up the ladder" is being constantly pulled down by the corporate tyranny represented by the Xenomorph.
The film does not show the high octane action of 1986 aliens but shows the action mainly through a series of "what do I do next with limited resources and manoeuvres around obstacles". As such this sequel of the film franchise relies more on the concept of alien 3 and alien resurrection for its on screen action while allowing the same a deeper exploration of the same psychological and emotional impact of the alien 3 movie. While the film mainly offers close-up shots of the xenomorph, similar to Alien 3, it lacks the extensive screen time and xenomorph character development seen in previous films. This may disappoint fans who crave more in-depth exploration of the alien's biology and behavior. However, for audiences familiar with the series, the limited alien presence doesn't significantly detract from the overall experience.
Through the characters' experiences, the film explores themes of isolation, fear, and the human will to survive in the face of overwhelming adversity. The limited resources and claustrophobic environments create a sense of tension and vulnerability that enhances the suspenseful atmosphere. Overall, Alien Rommulus offers a unique and thought-provoking entry into the Alien franchise. While it may not satisfy fans seeking the intense action of earlier films, it provides a compelling exploration of the psychological and emotional toll of confronting the alien threat.
Vishwavidhaata (1997)
Remake of Tamil film " Pudhiya Mugam". Rahman is brilliant
Remake of a Tamil movie Pudhiya Mugam (1993) , and it was well known for its music by A. R. Rahman The original Tmail verison is also know for incorprting the first "terrorist theme" screenplay ever in Tamil cinema Innovative for its time and a slow thriller. However the music of A. R. Rahma nis one of the best even in this Hindi version it retains the essence of the original very well. If u want to see a typical 90s storyline with typical 90s Rahman music, then dont miss this. SImilar to the movies like "khal Nayak" released at the same time in Bollywood. At least it is watachable for the music and screenplay.
Indian 2 (2024)
Good in parts , clever twist of the original
The film's primary letdown is the inconsistent performance by Kamal Hassan and the background music. While it would have been ideal for AR Rahman to revisit and rework the old tunes, Anirudh's incoherent score fails to deliver the impact needed. Kamal Hassan's portrayal of Indian is uneven. There are moments when he convincingly embodies the original character, but at other times, his performance veers off to a more chitti like character in Shankar's older film Robot. However, he does manage to regain his form in the second half. The scenes where Indian confronts his victims aren't as disappointing as some claim. There's still a sense of watching the original Indian, albeit with minor flaws and occasional quirks that can detract from the experience. Overall, this film feels more like an updated version of the original rather than a true sequel, tailored for today's audience.
White Rose (2024)
Watchable but feels like a movie from 2010
"This Tamil thriller, while occasionally engaging, offers few surprises and feels reminiscent of films from the early 2010s. Notably, it tackles the psychological issue of necrophilia, a rare topic in Tamil cinema. The first half effectively explores the disturbing social issue of women's victimization, but the film fails to reach its full potential, relying on genre clichés. Anandhi shines in her debut performance, carrying the film with her acting prowess. However, the action sequences and technical aspects feel dated and lacking in refinement. Overall, the film's unfulfilled potential and outdated aesthetics make it a middling watch."
Kasak (1992)
Horrible remake of tamil film Maniratnam's Mouna Raagam
First of all, this movie shouldn't have been made. The original movie by Majors than was far better than this.
Kasak clearly lacked technical finesse of the original Tamil film. Mouna Raagam had music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics by Vaali. P. C. Sreeram was the cinematographer, and the art director was Thota Tharani. The film was edited by B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan.
Mouna Ragam was released on 15 August 1986. Despite opening to modest audiences, it became a box-office success, with a theatrical run of over 175 days, and Mani Ratnam's breakthrough. The film received critical acclaim; it won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil, and Ratnam received the Filmfare and Cinema Express Awards for Best Director in Tamil. Mouna Ragam also became a breakthrough in Karthik's career despite his role being a cameo. The film introduced techniques such as soft-focus shots, flare filters and backlighting, which became popular in Tamil cinema.
This Weekend (2012)
Its like a film left unreleased in 2003 and released in 2012...
I got a bittter shock after watching this film, given that its action King Arjun! The film atrociously looks like something out of early 2000s. Did they went back in time or this was released like 10 years later in the wrong time period? If there was a minus rating om IMDB , this film will surely get a -10 , perfect minus rating!
The picture quality, the sound editing, characters is unmistakably Tollywood of early 2000s.. The whole film is a copy of Hollywood film the "Wrong Turn" (2003) which also brings me to believe that it could have been an unreleased film lying on the shelf for 10 years. In those times it was common to remake Hollywood films in India with a local context and the producers would get away with it due to the lack of internet .
If there was anything positive about this film, I would say i admire the guts of the movie makers to make and release a film that is a 10 years late!
Por Thozhil (2023)
Ratchasan with Vettaiyadu Villayadu........
Though the plot is not something new,the film takes cues from 2018 Ratchasan and 2006 Kamal Hassan film Vettaiyadu Villayadu but with some flaire dialogues which makes the day. The film manage to keep us engaged and immersed in the world that they have created. The conversations between the lead characters not only take the film forward but also make us curious about how two people, with contrasting personalities, are going to crack the case. The screenplay and script has been engaging throughout ...
However the only let down of the film are certain shortcomings in the presentation style . For the most part , the film presents in a smooth but dry narrative fashion , linear camera work and cliqued lighting. The fim could have been better with more action scenes and some elaborate cinematography. The climax feels a bit rushed but overall a watchable film.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Somewhat flawed but better than the last indie outing
This is a decent installment that provides a nostalgic feel of the first and third movie. The film somewhat like the first and third also some great historical and archeaological discussions regarding the Antikythera machine. What felt less : The action was somewhat linear and had limited screen time with more chase scenes than actual punching and kicks . This time round the film set in 1969 and the authentic portrayal of the time period is commendable. And the film lack the thrilling "sudden twist of events during a heated action" of the first 3 films. The screenplay could have been better while it lacks punch , in the very least the premise of a classic Indie film is put in place here.
The brief appearance of Antonio Banderas was refreshing though and so was the underwater scene ; something we didnt see in previous indie films: time travel element, though it was placed towards the end . Still, it was a fun adventure with all the signature "Indiana Jones" hallmarks of tomb-raiding, Nazi-punching, and chase sequences. It's definitely worth watching for fans both new and old. Indy's last adventure is a mixed bag.
Ullasa Paravaigal (1980)
80's World Travelogue, songs are evergreen.
The only reasons to watch this film is the music of Illayaraja and the overseas locales of Paris France and Germany. The music is ethereal and showcases the creativity of Illayaraja. A particular song called is "Germaniyin" is still being hummed today.
It's no secret that Kamal Hassan is a tremendous performer; in just those years , he has showcased his mettle irrespective of whether he's playing the hero or villain. On the other side, Rathi Agnihotri delivers one of her best performances of her time.
The film has nothing much to offer in terms of story but nevertheless still watchable for it's time.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Second best movie in the series..
I would rate this as the second best movie in the series as.therr is something in this one which comes as fresh breath of air.
The setting is 1994. We are brought back to the 90s style of filmaking with this installment with a mixture of transformers and Indiana Jones and the typical cliqued scenario of the nobody in New York struggling out for a living when he gets an option to solve this life and financial problems with aliens robots from outer space . Too simple a 90s premise but works most of the time in this film . Interestingly director Michael Bay is absent in this one and another picks up his earlier vintage style where Bay left off .
Not a bad venture for a prequel considering that I was not satisfied with the sequels that came after the first movie . The action and story flow is congruent with each other without the needless comedy antics of Shia LaBeouf. Instead we treated to some good 90s style corny dialogues and characterisation which doesn't feel out of place.
The robot characterisations are better than previous movies and while retaining the transformer essence and aesthetics, we are introduced to more interesting and well etched out conversations between the humans and robots than previous movies .in this regard the film manages to draw the viewer in.
Worth a watch in the series.and highly recommended..
Sembi (2022)
Generally good but could have had been better in few areas
A film that shows what is really happening in our society.
Kudos to Director Prabhu Solomon and entire team.for bringing up a sensitive and serious problem of rape in India today.
I won't be saying that it's one of the best movies I happened to watch lately along the lines of Jai Bheem and Ponmagal Vandhal. The screenplay was generally good in the first half with tense and at the same time uneasy repulsive tone.
The second half resembles the Keanu Reeves Hollywood film "Speed" . I am not sure if this is what the makers intended it to be but the quality and cinematography of the action seems to be reminiscent of Hollywood films released in the 1990s. Though the second half is not a direct copy , it seems obvously inspired by that film with a few not so great stunt sequences .scenes that involve stunts could have been improved with a better stunt direction that could have possibly elevated the film to international standards.
However the inclusion of the bus scene and its cheesey characters ruined what could have been a classic thriller if the tone was continued along the lines of the first half of the screenplay. Unnecessary dialogues and comedy dialogues with characters trying to be witty could have been avoided. The inclusion of run of the mill stereotypical supporting characters usually found in masala films just ruined the serious message of the film in the second half. But strangely though a sense of dread and repulsion can be felt throughout the film despite these flaws.
Watchable for the social message inherent in the film but in terms of hybrid action blockbuster, it falls short of standards in the genre.
Kanam (2022)
Can be considered as one of the best movies of 2020s decade
A struggling young musician, along with his two friends, with the help of a quantum physicist goes back in time to prevent the death of his mother. What happens next? The plot and exection is simple, but rest assured u will not be disappointed and will be taken on a magical thrill and emotional ride for 2 hours.
It is aslo good to see yesteryear actress Amala's return to big screen and she does not disappoint. 3 friends meeting their own kid versions and trying to influence their future, lead to some interesting situations and highly enjoyable moments. The casting is perfectly apt and do a wonderful job. Cinematography and music perfectly complement the drama. Despite of a few minor dips in the latter half, it still ends up as one heartwarmingly satisfying watch with a thoughtful underlying message. This sci-fi drama is emotional and engaging, with the finest performances from the cast. All the characters were fleshed out well. This is time travel done right.
Kantara (2022)
based on mythology of Sudalai Madan ....Average but not worth much of the hype,,,,
Firstly i watched the Tamil dubbed version . Having come from Tamil films , there was not much of a story except the usual mainstream ( one line story : A rich man tried to oppress the poor and the fight for land rights), no script, no meaningful dialogue delivery. And the main part, culture ; They failed to show the richness of culture maybe only except in small parts. The main positive aspect about this film are the good visuals and the authentic rural setting.
So many people will be offended but the truth is, movie is just on the the average. However is nothing special in this film which we never saw in Tamil Hindi or Telegu films which at most times have more fleshed story lines. Its hard to understand what the fuss is about regarding this film. For most part of the film , the politics between different groups of people regarding the aquisition of the land is portrayed. However it would have been much better if the major parts of the film concentrated on the greatness and mystique of the protector deity.
The acting performances are very typical of Kannada films . The first half a dragging storyline and comedy with quirky one-liners of cheap grade films in the 1990s. The fight scenes are not inspiring except for the final scene where it feels slightly better. It has some decent music and cinemamatography that is not unlike other films in Tamil or Telegu. And thats about as much positive as u can get . Otherwise it is an average film with as compared with other regional films.
Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu (2022)
inspired by a few old movies shines in parts but marred in others
The film is a biopgraphy of an immigrant who falls to the underworld . Gautham Menon shows captures the grime , dirt and dim settings of immigrants holed up somewhere in the world in constraint spaces . The dirty walls , shophouses. , the unkept latrines, slavery conditions , sights , smells and sounds of dirty streets and sweat. Throughout the first half , all the imagery and sounds , feels like an allegory about the nature of violence that is about to come as we see with many GVM films who introduced us this concept with his crime thriller films. GVM has excelled in the first half in setting the tone but somehow loses the plot along the way. The film would have done better if GVM had continued a crime plot on the same grim settings which introduces our main prioaganist Simbu , as he steps into the world of exploitation and slavery.
Simbu has given a decent performance in this film in the first half. However the film falls short and marred as the plot progresses along , other than the perfomance of simbu, the action sequences are uninspiring and fails to induce thrills in the viewer. Like we had seen in past GVM movies like Khakka Khakka. GVM has been known to pioneer and set the example of the action sequences that we today back in the early 2000s with Khakka Khakka and even in his recent films like Ennai Arindhal. But here , his originality has somewhat waned. In this film the action sequences are not nuanced enough like his earlier films. The problematic aspect of the film are the romance sequences , other than a single scene with a good dialogue by Simbu, much of the romance seems to be a reworked version of GVm's earlier films like "vinnai thandi varuvaya". The lead actress seems to be mainly emotion-less throughout the film and the probably the least stellar heroine of any GVM film.
At times film feels like a new age mashup of some 1980s movies like "Sathya" "Amaran" and even GVM's earlier movies like Ennai "Nokki Paayum Thotta", especially in the second half . Although the screenplay is generally good, the 2nd half of the the film feels like we had seen it all before from GVM. The film feels like the the first half is disjointed with the second. The first half which was intriguing that was constructed in the beginning right from the protaganist in a village who arrives at his uncles house and later finds him comitting suicide. The film would have been better if it had taken off from this point and moved on to a conspiracy or plot , keeping to the GVM tradition of introducing us the "crime plot", but instead takes us to biographic events of the protaganist. The climax is uninspiring and mainly similar to GVm's earlier Acham Enbadhu Madamaimayada.
Overall the film is watachbale but not something to rave about as a classic like Kamalhassan's Sathya or Karthik's Amaran.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)
a cliqued anime meant to satisfy Japanese purists
A cliqued anime meant to satify purists. Defirntely not in the ame league as classics such as Vampire Hunter... Watched it with high expectations but ended up as an just an average outing, simple did not give me the vibes of Vampire hunter There is nothing groundbreaking in the story nor the art . The only saving grace is some decent voice acting The first half tries to set the mood for a demonic atmosphere but fails to to do so. Tere is not enough action inthe scond half and most of of the action scenes are uninspiring .The style of drawing is is classic anime with overly bright scenes with non detailed backgrounds simply ruins the expereince and run contary to the theme of film. Overall watchable if u have nothing else to atch. However will not retun back for a second viewing,
Cobra (2022)
Started off as excellent with interesting action sequences but loses steam
Technically a brilliant film with technically brilliant action sequences ever in tamil cinema especially the impressive assassination scenes The film started off in the template of Vikram's earlier 2005 film Anniyan with a protagonist having double lives. The the inclusion of a family sibling angle flashback story ruined the experience.
It should have fared well if it was a spiritual successor to his 2005 film Anniyan The major problem with script is that the film feels convoluted and disjointed in the first and second half. It is like 2 separate films. In fact the script should have continued where the intermission began with the civilians turning against vikram or the mysterious hacker figure could have been some rival gang ect.. But the script took on a convoluted approach. Overall a one time watch but it will not be another career changing vikram classic like Sethu and Anniyan.
Yenni Thuniga (2022)
usual run of the mill average thriller and one time watch
The film is generally fact paced and gets straight to the point without the usual lengthy character portrayal in first half... The second half picks up a bit of pace. However a few flaws in the screenplay and execution, the action scenes are not really inspiring as u would expect from other directors like Gautham Menon. The story is a very average run of the mill stuff . Nothing we had not seen before. There are hardly any guns in the film or big explosions. Jai's acting comes off across as a bit flat as compared to his previous movies. What saves the movie is probably the pacing style which keeps the viewer engaged with new twists and turns Overall watchable low budget film.
Saani Kaayidham (2022)
Handing could have been better
Went in after reading the hype of this film. The violence portrayal is not as brutal as one would think. The script and action sequences are overly simple and the characters lack the intensity of revenge based characters. The film could have been much more deft if the comic book presentation could have been avoided. The acting of Keerthy Suresh at times comes off as over acting although SelvarRagavan does a decent job of his character. The cinematography is decent and mainly a one shot capture in most scenes . Overall the intensity of emotions is fairly present throughout the film. Its a worth a one time watch .
Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021)
Had potential....shines in parts but ruined by 2000s style typical masala clichés
The movie is generally had potential for a biographic blockbuster film but the content was ruined by typical masala clichés like slow motion cinematography , overused dialogues and typical masala background music and cliqued acting reminiscent of 2000s Tamil movies in the past. The lead character's Dhanush style acting lacks originality.
If u liked films like MANIRATNAM'S Ravanan and Asuran , this film tried to be combination of both but ends up neither. And fails in the screenplay presentation and character portrayal and persona.
One time watchable.
Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2022)
Is this a movie from 2006? Vel 2.0?!!.....
After he success of Jhai Bhim , expected more from Suriya, However this time its disappointing. There is nothing new or groundbreaking in this film. And it feels like a Suriya movie from year 2006 with characters having touchscreen phones instead of Nokia or flip close phones! It seems like the makers took a script 15 years ago , the film got shelved and and Suriya wants to finish it. This movie feels like something stuck in mid 2000s
From the fight scenes to the unnecessary comedy scenes, everything feels like 2000s formula movies. Sathyaraj and Saranya's comedy scenes aren't inspiring and most of the movie is filled with their comedic performances which one finds hard to appreciate. IF the film sets out to convey a social message, it fails to do so as the handling and execution is ridiculous from alternating from serious scenes to comedy is in itself disasterous script writing. Cinematography is uninspiring and the 2000s slow motion "matrix" camerawork is clearly outdated and a fad thing from the past long expired. The climax is the final let down in this film, just too simplistic to begin with.
One of the most grueling aspect of this movie is that main protagonist Suriya is shown at the beginning to be a tough no nonsense guy but as the film progresses he gets pawned by the villain time and again. It looks as if the main villain is the star of the show. There are simply no "Wow" moments of Suriya to be seen in this movie. The fight and action scenes are minimal and the cat and mouse game formula is tried and tired repeat from other films.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Cant beleive it . Worst than Jurassic Park 3
Back in 2001 i always thought the third installment in the series was the worst. We never had another Jurassic park movie for the next 15 years,,
While sitting through this movie, from the very start the of the movie , u can already sense the cheesiness of the plot. With return of the original cast , i expected a more interesting plot. I was disappointed, To add on , some irritating youth and new face characters who look bland with no sense of acting
Well this one makes the third watchable.
Love You Hamesha (2001)
Unreleased movie with Remade Tamil movie soundtrack "May Madham" by A.R. Rahman
This soundtrack is in fact dubbed from the 1994 Tamil film May Madham. This movie is relatively unknown and was acted by unknown actors as well. Somehow the cast and team which worked on this movie seems non existent now.
It had a new story structure and presentation which at the time was still experimental in India...But it featured ARR's music which seem to be the dominant aspect of the whole affair.
The original movie was one of the greatest flops but is remembered for the great music composed by ARR. The soundtrack is an exceptionally rendered piece of perfection a head of its time and Rahman has given a great soul to the songs. The lyrics are awesome and so is the composition of instrumental variations which seems the most comprehensive for any ARR album yet.
ARR's varied use of keyboard, piano, violin and a dozen other instruments which disintegrates in fluid transitions is simply mind-blowing. The sound effects synthesis and recording were simply out of this world yet to this day!
The songs were much critically talked about back in 1994 when Rahman was at the threshold of his career..
I clearly remember I was just 13 when I listened to this, now I am 37...I do miss this soundtrack terribly then when I had my first teenage crush and obsessively listening to the romantic numbers in the album.
The BGM score for the movie was of high quality too. This album and a few soundtracks released back then by Rahman had that Midas touch to them which somewhat is missing in his latest works
Imo this is perfect nostalgia for those wanting to experience Rahman's old style of composing back in the 90s.
Indeed the composer had a better style back then with more emphasis on creating moods through clever manipulation of sound and rhythm breaks Love u Hamesha is the perfect testament to that.
Each of the tracks has the distinctive quality which differentiates between them...
The music feels clear and crisp just like newer releases In fact u cant tell the difference cos of Rahman's excellent technical wizardry.
20 over years later this soundtrack still has the vibrancy and heart warming melody which made the original a hit..
A rare one to miss especially those hindi listeners who had not listened to the original and craving for some nostalgia. Hearing the songs simply transports u back to the good old 90s when the Rahman phenomenon was right in your face and happening = Worth your money.
May Madham (1994)
Brilliant Music by A.R. Rahman
This movie had something going for it and that is the music of A. R. Rahman. Brilliant in all aspects, The sounds , presentation and styles . One of the best from A. R.
Deiva Thirumagal (2011)
Anajali (80s) , Kannthil Muthamittal (2000s) , Deiva Thirumagal (2010s)
This is the emotional parent child relationship drama of the 2010s after Maniratnam's previous movies in the 1980s and 2000s.
