Newtonin Moondraam Vidhi - Tamil Movie Review
Star-casts: SJ Suryah, Sayali Bhagat, Rajeev and others
Production: Madras Entertainment Pictures
Screenplay - Direction: Thai Muthu Selvan
Music: Vinay
Cinematography: Saravanan
‘Rise of the Phoenix’ – Of course, SJ Suryah is worthy getting ennobled with such a best title. Why not? The actor was drenched in absolute sadness over the continuous flops ‘Vyaapari’ and ‘Thirumaghan’… Nearly it took a year for him to complete this venture. Incisively, when producers were just backing off from his scripts and didn’t opt him to be posed on lead role. And now, he goes high with flying colors of commendable work.
Special Mention:
Don’t assume this one to be a typical style of SJ Suryah film.. For a greater surprise, he doesn’t intonate with high pitched voice, utter dialogues with double meaning or overact in any situations. Hats off to Director Thai Muthu Selvan for coming up with an edge-seated thriller and mark this!! It’s his debut directorial.
The moment we have protagonist setting on his verge of seeking revenge, there is no turning here and there as the filmmaker doesn’t include any such distractions on the screens.
Synopsis:
It all opens with Guru (SJ Suryah) paying homage tribute to his dead girlfriend Priya (Sayali Bhagath)…. The next shot you’re taken to the flashback that brings the poignant touch of romantic encounters between Guru and Priya… Gradually, a bits and pieces of alluring lip locks and romantic touches is all that leads this young couple decide their marriage. But, JP (Rajeev), Priya’s boss at Eagle Music Channel has very sadistic intentions on the beautiful innocent girl. Right on the eve of their marriage, JP abducts and barges her into an unknown place, frames Guru for a false case, rapes and kills Priya. With his monetary influence, he makes things look like a suicide.
Here’s the door of flashback locked and now look out for the smart plans of Guru. All that he does his calling up JP and foretelling his death time is gonna be in next couple of hours.
Watch the rest on the screens for a minute-to-minute thriller….
Performance:
SJ Suryah has stepped out for his clichéd style as mentioned earlier. On various situations, he emotes accordingly with a decent approach. Right on the flashback sequences, the actor is spotted with much more stylishness while in the role of an avenging person, seriousness is bounded to his skins. Sayali Bhagath is sure to be a more sensational girl. She’s so sensuous with her alluring physiques and of course does a good job on her acting too…
Rajeev has exceptionally done justice to his role as an antagonist. Just look back at his previous films where he played an innocent-chap character and it’s an unbelievable feat by this man.
Technical
Cinematography by Saravana is commendable as he has tried something new on innovative tones. Vinay’s musical score could’ve been yet more convincing and background score is quite laudable. Editing adds to the pace of screenplay.
Screenplay and Direction
Nothing unparalleled in this storyline as seeking revenge for their ladylove has been a long time pattern. However, Thai Muthu Selvan pens a gripping screenplay that has quite interesting twists and turns. Surely, the filmmaker is sure to have a great time if he tries out on similar genres.
Final Take
As a whole, there isn’t something more to credit this film with 5 Stars, but a different one for this season.
Bottom - Line: Off the wall thriller
Verdict: Watch it for a different experience….

Ayan - Tamil Movie Review
Saturday, May 2, 2009
Star-casts: Surya, Thamannah, Jagan, Prabhu.
Production: AVM Productions, Sun Pictures
Direction: K.V. Anand
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Cinematography: M.S. Prabhu
Gangster stories, double-crossings, informers – This isn’t something clichéd when it comes to Tamil Cinema. Of course, we could’ve watched many times on the screens, but they weren’t something more precisely presented. K.V. Anand delivered his knack of blending an crucial concept with commercial elements right in his debut directorial ‘Kana Kandein’. Well, on the same tracks, ‘Ayan’ takes off with one such theme.
Deva (Surya) smuggles foreign goods, Gold and diamonds for Doss (Prabhu) who has bought him up right from his childhood… His sidekick Chitti Babu (Jagan) and a deaf driver (Karunaas) accompany him in all conniving acts. Deva and Chitti Babu turn to be close friends and indeed Chitti’s sister (Thamannah) falls in love with him. A good friend, a lovable sweetheart, A Caring Mom (Renuka) and a father-like Doss. What else does a man need than this? But Deva’s main impedimenta is through Kamalesh (Akashdeep Saigal) who keeps informing cops about the collusive tasks carried through Deva and Chitti. Doss doubts about the deaf driver to be the informer. Unfortunately, it’s really appalling when unraveled about the real informer
Surya has adeptly carried through the performances top-notched. He’s extraordinarily matured compared to his previous flicks. He’s perfect with spellbinding stunts, decent romance and emotional sequences. Thamannah deserves commendable credits for the crème de la crème acting. She had done what many of our actresses failed to do on the screens other than skin shows and dancing horribly. Thank you Thamannah, we made us like your decent show. Prabhu steals the show and in many scenes his characterization goes powerful than Surya. Jagan has been portrayed with a stunning role that’s more than comedy. Certainly, the entire script revolves around him. Renuka deserves good comments while Akashdeep Saigal could’ve been presented with yet more rigid role.
Screenplay and characterization is more brilliant. K.V. Anand proves himself to be off a skilled filmmaker with an interesting narration. Merely, in the second half, the film looks bit flimsy in screenplay and anyhow, it makes up grandly towards the climax scene (Catch Me If You Can – Style). Most of the sequences have been inspired from ‘Lord of Wars’.
Harris’s musical scores works with couple of songs ‘Pala Palakura’ and ‘Vizhi Mudi Yosithal’. But why does he stumble more on background score is worth asking question. Cinematography is good at many parts and mediocre in few portions while Antony comes up with a matured touch unlike his previous films. Dialogues are catchy.
On the whole, ‘Ayan’ reveals about K.V. Anand’s real taste of good cinema. So, it’s a film worth watching and you’re sure to enjoy doing it so.
Bottom -Line: Enjoyable on many parts
Verdict: Worth Watching
