Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu 555 Tamil movie review

Aithu Ainthu Ainthu (555) starts with an accident where bharath is getting seriously injured and goes to coma. After few months, when he was deeply feeling bad about his lover liana's death in the accident, circumstances make him feel like there was no one called liana existed before. Even his brother santhanam and his doctor says there was no one called liana. Is bharath imagining a personality as his lover or liana was really there? if she was there why everyone plays a drama around him? How he identied the truth are the remaining story.

Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu Tamil Movie Review Bharath

Director Sasi kept lot of twists and turns in equal intervals of 555 without revealing the suspence till the end. Bharath proved himself to be a wonderful actor after his first hit “Kadhal”. The scenes where he acts as a coma patient and those where he talks to himself should be really appreciated. Six packs was natural and properly utilized at appropriate place of the script.

Santhanam with his one liners."gate kum veetum share auto vitte sambathikalam pola" and "kathavula pootu podama raymonds suite ah poduvanga" makes audience laugh a bit in a serious script. As bharath's brother, he added his part in sentiment scenes and when he was killed by villains, i felt someone else could have been chosen for this role. Even then he will do comedy in flashback scenes travelling throughout the movie.

Erica with her bigger eyes believes whatever bharath says and that makes the first half love portion little different from other movies. It might not be logically working out but created a variety in love portion. She and her acting can be marked as acceptable for the movie even though it was not extra ordinary. Another girl who comes for bharath's rescue was also apt for the character.

555 has a very good story which is properly narrated by the script giving credits to story writer and director respectively. Music was average and i could not remember any songs after coming out of theatre. Cinematography and editing were really good at some portions but lagged its pace between the scenes. Comedy was rightly placed without affecting the genre of the movie.

The only moviw which came in to my mind in the middle of the movie was “Samar” but 555 deviated from it in the main story. Not much of familiar cast other than santhanam, manobala and bharath making the movie cost effective.

First half will build the expectation in addition to few flashback sequences and second half will meet the expectation with lot of suspense breakers. Technology was completely utilized in building the screenplay. One example would be finding the heroine with villain’s car gps history and more. Script made the audience clap more than half a dozen times which usually happens in mass movies only.

Verdict : Overall a good story delivered in an interesting way...555 can be watched without any further thinking.

Chennai Express Bollywood Movie Review

Chennai Express - First Bollywood movie completely shot in south India with lot of Tamil co actors which attracted Tamil audience mostly because of this reason. Bollywood super star Sharukh with Deepika made kalakkal lungi appearance in this Express along with south stars Priyamani, Satyaraj, and others directed by Rohit Shetty.

Chennai Express Bollywood Movie Review

Evening Release - While Thalaiva has stuck up in release issues, chennai express was released on Thursday evening itself inspite of its official august 9 release date. Theatres have seen decent crowd due to the long weekend starting from this evening.

Good Beginning - Chennai Express starts with proper introduction of Sharukh, his grand parents, their interests, sentiments and travels quite meaningfully till interval. Sharukh expressed his usual comedy skills and made the first half fast running. Deepika who comes in to Sharukh's train travel comes through out the movie. Her make up and costume selection lags but she expressed better acting in few scenes. From the moment Deepika (a tamil girl) was introduced, movie travels bilingual (Tamil and Hindi) with most of the scenes requiring subtitles especially for bollywood fans.

Huge Tamil Crowd - As the complete express travels in Komban village of Tamilnadu, entire casting including Deepika's dad, cousin brothers, relatives, police officers, villain, everyone was chosen from Tamil cinema industry. Sathyaraj was not given full freedom to go with his natural acting because he looks restricted in lot of areas.

Outstanding Cinematography - Hats off to the cinematographer for showing Kombam village, Rameshwaram and other South India beautifully with his camera throughout the movie. Though lot of coloring filters were applied in most of the scenes, it looks attractive and makes us to simply say 'vow' to the photography. Editing was equally good and location selection also added its part.

Slow second half - Screenplay struggles in second half and moves very slowly making us feel like first half is far far better than second. 3 songs were part of second half when only one featuring Priyamani was part of first. Priyamani looks little slim when compared to her previous movies and even her costumes made her look not so good.

Masala Copies from Kolly/Tolly/Kannada Woods - Scene where all lovers assemble at store room is copied from "Super Stars" Muthu. Scene where Sharukh keeps knife at Deepika's neck and escapes in Gypsy resembles "Okkadu (Gilli)". Scene where Sharukh lifts Deepika and climbs temple steps resembles a Kannada movie. But all were perfectly fitted in appropriate places making a perfect masala outcome.

Mass Less, More Reality - Nowhere in the movie hero was portrayed as mass hero - Sharukh did not speak any self boosting punches and did not kill all rowdy vilains. The only dialogue repeated all through the movie "Dont under estimate a common man". Even in the climax fight, Sharukh was made to fight and struggle like a common man except where he comes back after a heavy blow.

Nothing Special Shetty - Rohit Shetty as a directory did not tell anything new in Chennai Express. Rajni's cutout was used in promo song "Lungi Dance" to attract Tamil audience towards theaters as like Ra One. Even though there lived a story in the film, it was not told in an interesting way with right screenplay.

Verdict: Chennai "Express" gives a travel experience as in a "Passenger" Train!!!
