DialR4Review RATED 7/10

I started to watch because this is blockbuster. After 10 minutes realised that it is remake (rip off) of "Chinna Maapillai". Lost interest on that point. Just for Govinda and songs completed this one. No one can match with Crazy Mohan dialogs in the original one. As I liked the Tamil version more, this one not stick in my mind. One time watchable for the story that explores the comedy in each and every scene. I would suggest to watch the original one than this one.

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

Typical SAC movie with all logic breaks in the name of law. Especially the climax, LOL. Its Surya time (instead of Vijay) to get saved by Vijayakanth. Vijayakanth flashback portion and the duet also good and somewhat OK. Luckily the skipped Surya's flashback. Started to watch because of the song. All are so good and reminds me the school days.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

This was like reading adult romantic novel. The feel good romance and decent story makes this worth the watch. The lead pair is so opt for the characters. Another strength of this movie is production values. Eventhough the story is predictable, the romance and feel good factor make it watchable fairy tale. I enjoyed this one from the beginning to end.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Slow paced drama with some solid acting. The story is simple and the execution also simple. The interesting characters and very small events in screenplay makes this movie as a solid drama without any lagging. The only negative is that sometimes it feels like watching TV drama. Have patience and enjoy this one. Thanks for the Malayalam original 🙂

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

One time watchable sports drama. It is highly predictable from the beginning to end. Some scenes and dialogs are great. The sports scenes are so lengthy and repetitive. Based on reviews I was expecting more, but it is not matching to the hype. The slum scenes are not authentic and there are lot of larger than life scenes. All kids are overcoming their hurdles just like that. The lack of authenticity is the biggest minus point to the movie. The slum suffering and kids story was good... thats all..

Another dog movie, which talks more about army than petting. The story is highly predictable and the scenes fell very flat. The trailer was more interesting and the shots are so great. Thats all, we cant find anything else in the mainstream. Some shots are worthy for wallpaper, thats all.

Strictly for kids. I felt it would be more fun if they made it as animation. The first half looked like dragged too much and the second half and climax was ok. Kids would enjoy more than adults.

Wow for the Mammooty acting. He was ace in this role and menacing to watch in the dark shade. Movie was bit slow and lot of lengthy shots. The repeated scenes and lengthy shots are testing our patients for some time. But the climax and Mammootty's face expressions make us to sit tight. Worth the watch.

DialR4Review RATED 4/10

Lots and lots of negatives in the movie.The story is run of the mill one. The execution is older than the story. It would be mega hit, if it is released 30 years before. But now, all the scenes are forced for the duo. There is no mass moments in the screenplay, all the scenes fall very flat. It is OK to have logic less masala, but it is very flat and failed to impress except one or two scenes. And they already came i n promos. Easily forgettable one.

Superb funny college story with cute little ladies. The first half is full and full fun in ladies hostel moments. Lot of small things done very well. The second half is full of love track. The cute expression and lead pair love egos are told very genuinely. It was like bit dragged in the second half and bit too much towards on climax. I enjoyed this slow fun ride

decent action thriller with good story backdrop. The age old story and the remake is visible in most the places. Another Liam action flick, but this time it is bit more watchable.

Superb feel good movie with no lagging moments. It is more or less like "marry me" but I liked this one much better.

Loved his expression and comedies. Superb entertainer to enjoy in weekend with nice popcorn tub.

Nice action flick with superb CG work. The action scenes are the biggest strength of this movie. The story is wafer thin and multiple times told for other Marvel super heroes, nothing new. It becomes highly predictable and lost interest towards end. One time watchable for the action package.

Nice fantasy move made based on family sentiments and values evolved in the new culture. Nice try with mixture of all genres including horror. The movie starting was so interesting and it get so much dragged with mother-daughter sentiment towards end. I was expecting some universal war but ended as family war. One time watchable...

The biggest advantage of this movie is adult theme and the characters. The various shades of each character is revealed one by one till the climax. The selfishness of protagonist, irritated wife, adolescent girl and the innocent neighbour are real fun to watch. The adult factor is really helped for this story. Well made drama with some good characters.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

Superb sequel which fulfills all the expectations. The graphics and action choreographies are the biggest strength to the movie. The another most likeable factor is music and BGM, it elevates the action and mass blocks to next level. The first part BGM is used in very opt place. The climax was conclusive for this chapter. Another appreciable thing is the dialogs and the Tamil dubbing. It was so good and didnt feel like watching dubbed movie. Must watch for all action lovers.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Good story, funny execution and extraordinary climax portion. The first half till interval it goes like a serial/stage comedy show... Some funny moments are really likeable, like the parent meeting with Suri. Most of SJ Surya acting in first half is comic than terror. The saving grace in first half is that you can relate atleast one character crossed in everyone's college life. The actual story and some nice sequences starts in the second half only. Some respectful acting of SJ Surya and self realising sequences are captured very well. The last 40 minutes are make this movie more worthy and make us forgot all the mistakes in the previous portions. Worth the watch

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Watchable adolescent drama without any boring moments. The different era and the cast makes this movie more likeable. Have lot of questions about their decisions and their business on teen age, may be cultural difference for me. There are flaws and characters looks under developed. It was like some crazy journey of two adults.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

Watchable pet loving movie with unconvincing climax making. The real story might be good to hear but when they dramatise, it become too much to digest/enjoy. The initial and mid potions of the movie was thoroughly enjoyable one. But the sentiment factor and repeated sentiment scenes makes this dragging one. It was dead slow towards end and ended up one time watchable sentiment drama...

Watched it because of Nayantara. It is full of outdated story and outdated sentiments. Some dialog are so pathetic for the current period. If I had seen the IMDB rating earlier i would have skipped this one. In the name of family love the hero actions and sentiments are written, but it looks so horrible.

Good drama with four impressive characters. I like Manikandan character very much. His ideology and realising the mistakes are presented very well. It is kind of Anthology with no boring moments. The title is so opt for the story and characters. It has some sadness throughout the movie. The director and accident stories are one level and the other two stories are another level. A well crafted drama to watch with whole family. I enjoyed very well.
