Aayirathil Oruvan – Kollywood’s AvatarTweet

Selvaraghavan’s two year production Aayirathil Oruvan is not up to the expectations but it really rocks. It’s a good fantansy movie in Tamil after a long back.

The movie starts with two young girls traveling to an Island in Vietnam in search of lost Cholans ( 12^th century people of South Tamil Nadu). Karthi plays the role of a Coolie who accompanies Reema Sen and Andrea to Vietnam. There they come to know that they’ve to cross seven barriers ( tribes, snakes, sand holes, hunger, thirst.. oops I forgot the other two) made by the lost Cholas.

They adventurously cross ‘em and find the Cholans’ civilization. The first half ends when they get mad coz of some loud noise. Then they’re caught by the Cholans and taken back to their caves where their king( Parthiban) comes into scene. The Cholans were haunted by hunger, even their king can’t find any way to help ‘em.

The movie takes a twist when the villainous character of Reema sen is revealed. She actually came there to take their family god’s sculpture back. She betrays the king and escapes with the statue. Then the king realizes that Karthi is the One in a thousand and the rest of the movie is dedicated to the humiliation of the Cholan woman by the Indian army and finally the movie ends with a To be continued note.

This movie is full of blood and violence, eroticism and adventure as well. The songs are average but the bgm is good. You can watch it for the picturisation, direction and the script. It’s surely a milestone in Tamil Cinema.

Astonishing, scintillating and mesmerizing . .Tweet

Yeah. .This is what AR Rahman’s new album is all about. Yes, the much awaited Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya tracks are available in stores now. As usual he quenched his fans’ thirst with some marvelous love beats. The tracks Hosanna, Anbil avan and Mannipaaya would make you fly when you hear ‘em for the first time. I guess the wedding bgm in Anbil avan has never been in any other Tamil song before. The track Omana Penne is just another Rahman’s classy stuff. Hats off to Rahmanji : D

Another album amazed me is Yuvan Shankar Raja’s Goa. Yezhuzhu thalaimuraikum and Adida Nayyandiya are kinda Ilayaraja’s songs. Vaaliba va va is a mixture of modern and classical background with the vocals of Ilayaraja, SPB and Chitra.
Idhu varai is my favorite which has been sung by Andrea and Ajeesh. Kaadhal endral by Yuvan is the shorter version of Idhu Varai. Yuvan’s still a king of short melodies.
