Thoughts on Thunivu and Varisu




There is no way we can do two separate reviews or “thoughts on” for these movies. Not because we are lazy but because there is nothing to write about these two movies other than utter garbage. So combining these two movie thoughts to achieve a 500-word count target. But I don’t think I can write 500 words even after combining two shits together. Well, let’s try.


Thunivu


The Ajith starrer bank-heist movie directed by H.Vinoth was a complete letdown from the start. I mean, you have to put effort and work hard to make a movie this bad. Watching Thunivu made me understand that H.Vinoth is one among us. We go to work and do the bare minimum to prevent getting fired, log out and return home. Vinoth has done the same with Thunivu. I was just amazed by some scenes thinking, “How the hell did these things make it to the final cut? Did anyone actually watch the final cut before the release?”


Thunivu had a lot of characters, but nothing sticks with us, including Ajith’s character. Yes, I don’t know the name of Ajith’s character or anyone’s character. It was that forgettable.


Throughout the first half of the movie, Ajith dances and roams around the bank aimlessly. There is absolutely no plot development in the first half of the movie. The whole first half could have been trimmed up to 30 mins.


So, the second half has a story? Sadly, yes. In short, the second half was just mental torture. It just irritates you to the core. The flashback portions were dumb. Oh, the climax. Never seen a climax this bad. That boat chase was horrible.


Supporting cast of the movie did nothing, but can’t blame them. There was no scope for anyone in that movie. Ghibran did an amazing job at irritating us. Like, man did not even give a single second gap for our ears to recover. The two songs in the movie didn’t help at all. Editing was laughable too. I felt like watching a 2 hour dank meme.


Overall, very bad writing and execution from Vinoth. Hope he comes back to form in the future.



Varisu


I had zero expectations for Varisu, but still, somehow, they managed to disappoint. The first half of the movie is not for the fans or the family audience. It is for SAC. Vijay na was just talking to SAC throughout the first half of the movie. To be honest, Varisu was funny, just not in the comedy portions. Varisu had a very big cast, and no one was impressive. Vijay na was just performing his mannerisms for his fans, which was way over forced and overacted. It was not enjoyable. It was irritating at best. 


The cinematography of the movie was laughable, especially in the intro scene. It was so bad. Usually, Vijay has a cool look and charisma. Vamshi somehow managed to fuck it up. 


I felt like I watched an entire movie when the first half was over. All the mass elements were reserved for the second half. Maybe the second half entertained the fans, but it was just bland. Nothing special.


Miserably placed songs did not help the movie at all. When Ranjithame song started playing, I just wanted to tear down the screen. 


Thaman’s music was unique. You could hear every single instrument in the background. And the music vibration comes to your seat and goes to your heart. I was vibrating like a Nokia 1100 throughout the movie.


The only plus point was Vijay dance in the first couple of song. He did a great job. But, Jani master fucked up Ranjithame song. 


Overall, a very bad, frustrating movie. I Hope Vamshi never returns to Tamil cinema. 


When Prakash Raj said “adi mela, adi mela adi mela, adi vulunthukite irukum”, I felt like he was talking to me personally. Morning Thunivu adi, night Varisu adi. A very bad start to the year. Let’s hope we don’t get any more adi. 


Overall, Pongal directed by Robert B. Weide.

Aviyal's Thoughts on Kanguva

  Here is our review with some ignorable spoilers. There is a scene where a boy cries looking at something. Another adult character comes near him and sees the boy is looking at a mother bird feeding her hatchlings, which reminds him of his dead mother. Understanding this, the adult also starts crying. If you are done cringing, let’s analyse the movie a little. The title card copied the same as Vijay in Goat but zero impact with terrible music. Cinematography is the worst at places. For example, in the same scene, when they show different characters in separate frames, the color of the forest changes. Edit cuts are terrible, as sometimes it seems like what the heck are we watching. They said the movie is made on a huge budget, and Surya is not a big hero who eats up half of the budget as salary, but still, CGI is at worst⁠ even in a scene where they toss a wine bottle. And about the crocodile scene, it was poorly shot and worked. They could’ve cut it off as it was just a filler....

Aviyal's Top 5 Movies of 2024

  No, no, no, no, it is never too late to make a top 5 movies of 2024 list. I am actually angry with every Tamil movie released in 2024. I mean, for the first six months there was nothing, and all of a sudden great movies came out week after week. I was legit broke at a point. Plan better, guys.  2024 was a great year for Tamil cinema. It is true that we saw duds like G.O.A.T, but on the other hand, we got really really good movies. Let’s make a top 5 list of 2024. Before getting to the list, remember that this is one person’s opinion. If you don’t see your favorite movie on the list, it doesn’t mean it is a bad movie. I just prefer these 5 movies.  Sheesh, the amount of disclaimers we have to give in 2025. Kannism ruined everything. Anyway, here’s the list: 5. Lubber Panthu Lubber Panthu came out of the syllabus. No one knew about this movie. It randomly came out one day and became one of the most successful movies of 2024. What I loved about Lubber Panthu is that every ...

ஏன்?

  சூரியன் மிகவும் கோபமாக  இருந்த ஒரு மே மாதத்தின் ஞாயிற்றுக் கிழமை அன்று. கார்திக் புதிதாக வாங்கிய சோபாவில் அமர்ந்து அண்ணாந்து ஃபேன்ஐ பார்த்து  கொண்டு இருந்தான். அது என்னவோ தெரியவில்லை மே மாததில் மட்டும் ஃபேன்கள் தங்கள் முழு உழைபைப் போட்டு வேலை செய்தாலும் திட்டத்தான் தோணும். கார்திக்கும் அதைதான் செய்து கொண்டிருந்தான்.  தன் வீட்டு ஃபேன்ஐ மட்டுமில்லாமல் சூரியனையும் சேர்த்து சபித்தான்.  கார்திக் ஒரு ஐடி ஊழியன். ஐடி கம்பெனி  என்றால் சினிமாவில் காட்டுவதுபோல் பெரிய கம்பெனி ஒன்றும் இல்லை. ஓரு இருபது பேர் இருப்பார்கள். 12 ஆண்கள் 7 பெண்கள் அந்த பெண்களை தொல்லை செய்யும் ஒரு மேனேஜர் அவ்வளவுதான்.  “5 மினிட்ஸ்ங்க  ” என்று கிச்சன்க்குள்ளிருந்து ஒரு குரல் வந்தது. சுமதி கணவனுக்கு பிடித்த சிக்கன் சமைத்து கொண்டிருந்தாள். உடலெல்லாம் வியர்வை. ஆனால் அதைப்பற்றி அவளுக்கு கொஞ்சமமும் கவலையில்லை. தன்னவனுக்காக சமைக்கின்றோம் என்கிற ஒரு சந்தோஷம்.         கல்யாணம் முடிந்து  ஒரு மாதம் ஆகியிருந்தது. பத்து நாள் ஹனிமூனில் மூணாரை சுற்றி...
