Jilla Movie Review

Year : 2014

Cast : Vijay, Mohanlal, Kajal Agarwal

Director : Jeevan

Yesterday Veeram and today Jilla. Both are mindless masala movies. In the process of giving overall entertainment both the movies become so much ordniary and nothing new. While the story is good and Director had good scope for a superb movie, Jilla's script was bit too long and very average. The story was set when we go for the Interval and from that point screen play become usual.

Shivan is a Big Don and Shakthi his adopted son. Unlike normal Don story who has a another Don in the same city, this story is different and good. But the screenplay is boring and did not keep you engaged. 

Positives :  Both Vijay and Mohanlal are postives to the movie who tried their level best to do justice to the script. Songs are better but the easily the director could have avoided one or two songs. Vijay's charismatic looks are getting better and better with his age, especially the dance performaces by both Vijay and Kajal are good. Unusual Don story. 

Negatives : Average or slightly bad screenplay. Though we know it is a masala movie, even there we expect some logical twists. I felt the twists should have had more logic. Very long second half.

Mindless Masala entertainer.

Rating : 6 out of 10. 



Veeram Movie review

Shirt white, Dhoti white, Hair white, dhaadi white...whito white !!! Good watchable masala movie for the weekend. Mostly saved by comedy and action sequences.

Year : 2014
Cast  : Ajith, Thamanna, Santhanam
Direction : Siva

Jilla or Veeram, Veeram or Jilla. Seems its the first time in 7 years Vijay and Ajith movies are getting released on same day. Somehow because of an Ajith Fan in our group we selected Veeram. Jilla may be tomorrow. Dont know who is the winner yet..

Positives :

There were lot of good surprises when compared to recent Ajith movies. Village subject itself is something new. Good comedy track by Santhanam and Thambi Ramaiah. I could not imagine any recent Ajith movie which had good comedy. Another surprise is about those 3 Action sequences. Really good action with the back ground music and camera shakings. Another good thing was Ajith had fewer punch dialogues :) which were good. Few scenes were class or mass. Lastly the moving script without any slowed parts. I liked the movie since it had an overall masala entertainment with a story.

Negatives :

If those 4 songs could have removed things would have been better. Those songs were just Ajith's tummy revealers and Tamanna exposers :P The well kept secret tummy inside loose white shirt and dhoti were unneccasarily revealed during songs. In few scenes Ajith had enough physical appearance to act as father/uncle for Tamanna.

Good village masala action movie

Rating : 6.5/10
