0

Malaikkottai Vaaliban is an epic action drama film in Malayalam cinema featuring Mohanlal in the lead role. One of the biggest Mollywood films of the year, it was touted to be a ‘Pan-Indian’ venture with a simulataneous release across all the major languages.

The film carried good buzz since Mohanlal’s last theatrical outing, Neru (2023), was a massive commercial success at the box office. Releasing on Republic Day weekend, the film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics who praised the performances of the cast while criticising other aspects. Shockingly, it underperformed at the ticket window with a wordwide gross of just INR 30 crores.

Owing to the film’s result, the makers went for an early digital premiere on Hotstar; along with the original version, it is also available in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. It must be seen if the reactions from the OTT audience will be any different from those on the big screen. 2

Sundaram Master Movie Review – Cast Shines, But Movie Falters

0

Movie: Sundaram Master
Rating: 2/5
Cast:  Harsha Chemudu, Divya Sripada, Harshavardhan
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Produced By: RT Teamworks, GoalDen Media
Release Date: 23rd February 2024

Harsha Chemudu who majorly stars in comic roles shifts gears into a lead role with Sundaram Master. The movie has Divya Sripada of Chai Bisket fame and Harshavardhan in supporting roles and is directed by Kalyan Santosh under RT Teamworks (Hero Ravi Teja’s Banner) and Goalden Media.

Story:

Sundar Rao (Harsha) is a greedy government teacher who still believes in Dowry and tries to use his job title to his advantage in marriage alliances. He gets an offer from a Minister (HarshaVardhan) solely based on his skin tone, of becoming a DEO (if only the director cared to help the audience with the full form in the film), District Education Officer in exchange for a secret mission in a remote village pretending as an English Teacher. Does Sundar Rao succeed in his mission by pretending like an English teacher or does he get taught by the village in reverse forms the story?

Performances:

Harsha Chemudu excels in his role as a greedy, self-centered teacher, carrying the whole film on his shoulders. Though the movie as a whole doesn’t do justice to his efforts, his acting along with a picture-perfect background score carries the weight of almost every scene even when the writing fails in most of them.

Divya Sripada appears briefly in her role of Myna, with her subtle expressions, leave a mark although her screen time is limited.

The movie has several new faces and most of them play their roles honestly keeping the naiveness on display at most times.

Positives:

  • Harsha Chemudu Performance
  • Background Score
  • Aesthetic Green Visuals

Negatives:

  • The story doesn’t head anywhere that it feels like a documentary
  • The whole cricket sequence in the 2nd half
  • Lack of a strong reasoning for the movie itself


Analysis:

With a simple, plain story of living life via meeting its demands vs chasing after desires, Sundaram Master might have looked like a sweet storyline on paper but the translation of it onto screen isn’t that fruitful. The movie never gains pace, nor does it have any direction of where it is heading towards. The whole movie is based on a secret that a remote village holds and yet the first conversation about this secret in the village only happens after the first hour of the film.

Having said that, you feel like walking out in the first hour itself with no story getting revealed. The movie has its moments like Myna appearing on screen and her scenes with Sundar Rao but soon gets followed by inconsistent narration. The whole sequence in the second half which revolves around a cricket match doesn’t have any substance but the acting, background score and the director’s conviction make us feel like it is a worthy watch but it isn’t, as the writing itself fails like it does in most parts of the film.


For example, the story happens in a remote village where there is no sight of electricity but the lead actor watches cricket matches on his mobile phone even after 15 days. Though the director puts in his efforts to convey the theme of the film which is tied to incorrect spellings of words in English right from the brief written-up cards in between, the effort falters when it comes to increasing the weight of the film. The movie is way too much of a mixed bag, for it to keep you engaged and wait for the end result or secretly pray for the hero’s mission to fail or succeed.

Sundaram Master Movie Verdict:

Overall, the movie ends up as a below-average flick but with honest performances from most of the cast with Harsha Chemudu and Divya Sripada shining the most. Watch it if you have nothing planned for the weekend.

Amaran: Protest for Arrest of Siva Karthikeyan and Kamal Haasan

0

The release of Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran teaser has sprung protests in Tamil Nadu. Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and Stefan Richter, the film is based on the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, an Ashok Chakra recipient. Amaran is produced by Kamal Haasan and now both Sivakarthikeyan and Kamal Haasan have come under scanner for the portrayal of some controversial scenes in the teaser.

Members of the Tamilaga Makkal Jananayaga Katchi (TMJK) have been protesting since the teaser releases alleging that the teaser of the film portrayed Kashmiri Muslims in a bad light. The group has stated that the film promotes unnecessary negativity against Kashmiri Muslims.

The organization claimed that in Tamil Nadu all religions live together like brothers and this film is creating disputes between religions. They are demanding the arrest of Sivakarthikeyan and Kamal Haasan. The protestors burnt the effigies of both the actors and staged a protest demanding strict action.

“The teaser of the film has scenes portraying the Muslims and the people of Kashmir as terrorists. The government of Tamil Nadu should immediately intervene and ban the film,” said a leader of TMJK.

Amaran teaser was recently released by the makers of the film and received overall appreciation for its visuals and technical values. Sivakarthikeyan’s transformation into an army man’s role was also one of the major plus points of the teaser.

Mangalavaaram Scores Good TRP Ratings

0

Ajay Bhupathi’s Mangalvaaram starring Payal Rajput has made a great mark through its digital and TV premieres. The film was released amidst great expectations in theatres but did not work well at the Box office.

The pan-India thriller was released on November 17th and the producers Swathi Reddy Gunupati and Suresh Varma had massive expectations on Ajay Bhupathi’s narration and the world he created. While the film released to mostly favourable reviews, weak promotions led to little interest among the audience in the initial days.

The ongoing world cup at that time is being seen as the main reason for Mangalavaaram’s dull performance in the theatres. The film however, has made a great impact on Disney + Hotstar. Even the TRP ratings are extremely good. On its Telivision premiere, Mangalavaaram achieved a rating of 7.21 TRP In Urban and 6.51 TRP In U+R Markets.

Mangalavaaram features Payal Rajput in the lead role. The film’s cast includes Ajmal Amir, Nandita Swetha, Sritej, Ajay Ghosh, and Shravan Reddy as vital characters. Ajay Bhupathi on A Creative Works and Swathi Reddy Gunupati on Mudhra Media Works collaborated to produce this rustic thriller.

0

Article 370 starring Yami Gowtham in lead releasing tomorrow in theaters, despite not featuring any bigger stars, has garnered decent buzz due to its theme. It has already sold more than 85,000 tickets in national multiplexes for the opening day and is set to surpass the 100,000 mark by tonight. This achievement is significant, considering that many recent big-star films have failed to sell as many tickets. The main reason behind this surge in ticket sales is the PVR INOX offer priced at 99 rupees.The film is poised to make a strong start at the box office.

Apart from “Article 370,” Vidyut Jammwal’s “Crakk” has also managed to sell 50,000 tickets before its release tomorrow. Additionally, other Bollywood films have seen good bookings for tomorrow, indicating people’s interest in lower ticket prices. It is a well-known fact that high ticket prices have been detrimental to theater footfalls, affecting both small and medium-budget films. Lower ticket prices attract more audiences, ultimately benefiting the film industry as a whole.

0

Superstar Rajinikanth has made a roaring comeback with his latest film, Jailer. Post the debacle of his last project Annaatthe, the monstrous success of this action entertainer has given a massive boost to Superstar fans, with the film registering record collections in multiple centers. Jailer crossed the 625Cr mark and has performed exceedingly well in Telugu states and all other territories.

Jailer emerged as 2023’s South India’s biggest grosser. It managed to stay above crazy films like Leo and Salaar which also failed to beat this collection. Nelson Dileepkumar had given a big lead for part 2 in part 1 climax. For the past few months, there was a buzz that Jailer 2 is confirmed and Nelson is working on it. This massively anticipated sequel will start in 2025 beginning after Rajinikanth completes his film with Lokesh Kangaraj.

This confirmation about the Jailer sequel has now been officially made by actress Mirinaa who played Rajinikanth’s daughter-in-law in the film. In a recent interview, the actress said, “I spoke with Nelson sir about Jailer Part-2 and he said the “Script work is going on”.
I was very happy and excited I don’t know if I’m part of the movie.”

Directed by Nelson Dilip Kumar who has earlier directed projects like Vijay’s Beast and Siva Karthikeyan’s Doctor, this Rajini starrer featured a loaded star cast consisting of Mohanlal, Ramya Krishna, and Shiva Rajkumar. The film’s music by Anirudh and Superstar’s electrifying screen presence were some of the major highlights of the film.

Dil Raju Not Believing in Indian 2

0

Dil Raju was the producer for Indian 2 when it was initially announced. However, due to some issues, he walked out of the project and Lyca Productions entered but faced some budget issues and a legal tussle with director Shankar. Due to his exit from Indian 2, Dil Raju brought Shankar and Ram Charan combo for Game Changer. After Vikram’s blockbuster success, Indian 2 got on to sets due to the involvement of Udaynidhi Stalin.

Shankar is shooting for Indian 2 and Game Changer parallelly. Indian 2 will be made into two parts because of the huge footage and while Indian 2 has completed its shoot part, Post-production works are happening. Meanwhile, Indian 3 has also completed most of the shoot part. Game Changer shooting is happening currently and it’s expected to be completed by May end or June.

Indian 2 Telugu states rights have been bought by Asian Sunil Narang, Suresh Babu, and NV Prasad. The netizens have been wondering why Dil Raju is not believing in Indian 2 even though he is working with Shnakar for Game Changer. Everyone expected Dil Raju to bag the rights for Indian 2 but he has surprised many by staying away from this Kollywood biggie. Many feel he doesn’t have faith in the subject of Indian 2 and that’s why he walked out first and later didn’t even try for the rights.
