2012 Top 10 Movies - MyView

A year gone by, a full year in my blogging experience. Based on the reception for my movie review - MyView, I started to cover more movies. Result, now I have hand full of them to sort it out and here it goes...

1. Pizza(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/11/pizza-myview.html)
This movie have not failed to impress whoever watch it. Since its a suspense thriller, repeat audience will be bored hence it wont top in box office(but still it would have returned more than investment  That is none of our concern too). I remember last year's Kanchana, same genre movie collected applause.

2. Naan 'E'(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/08/naan-e-myview.html)
A Fantasy movie always has its fan followers. If the fatansy also entertains, no doubt it becomes a hit. By that mean, this movie satisfied every segment of audience.

3. Naduvula koncham pakkatha kaanom (http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/12/naduvula-koncham-pakkatha-kaanom-myview.html)

Totally different subject line, with new brave attempts gives extra mileage to this movie. Freshness in the story plot, with no disappointments. Little envy for the friendship that is described on screen.

4. Thupakki(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/11/thupakki-myview.html)
This movie would be one of the highlighter in his portfolio for actor Vijay. His acting was subtle, no much exaggeration and well fit for the story. Though there are few slipping points, it never failed to entertain the audience.

5.Sundara Pandian(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/10/sundara-pandian-myview.html)
 Another south side movie with love and murder. The well defined parameter in the movie was the friendship. And the beautiful dialogues. Sasikumar still holds good as a man next door. But not sure, he may enter as a commercial action hero soon.

6. Kalakalappu @ Masala Cafe(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/05/kalakalappu-masala-cafe-myview.html)
 Multi star cast carefully framed hits the success bell. Full length comedy movie with no much logic to worry about. Music was the major negative though we don't care about it. The team is working on making the next sequel of this movie.

7. OK OK(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/04/ok-ok-myview.html)
 Santhanam starring and supportive character done by udhayani. Screen stealing show by Santhanam.  As usual as in Rajesh's movie this one didn't have much in the story part. The composing of scenes and screen play entertains.

8. Nanban(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/01/nanban-myview.html)
 A remake movie, copied everything from its source except the songs. Dialogues were Tamil equivalents of the Hindi version. Though they had presented it well because of lack of originality and the impression of the original version this movie goes below the expectation line.

9. Kumki (http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/12/kumki-myview.html)
 Very pleasant fairy tale like story which has impressed everybody. Music carries the movie till end. The unfinished climax gives the movie, A rough edge. The voice over dialogues of Thambi Ramaiah should be added in post production considering the entertainment factor. Otherwise movie would be a blunt knife.

10. Atta Kathi(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/08/atta-kathi-myview.html)
All together a different genre. An untouched and very common story plot helped the success of the movie. The draggy screen play gives some yawn and pulls down in this list.

Note: The listing is purely based on my opinion. The listing not done based on the turn over it made(I am no way bothered about it.).

Other Contenders: 
Neethaney En Ponvasantham (http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/12/neethaney-en-ponvasantham-myview.html)
Maatran(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/10/maatran-myview.html)
Thandavam(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/10/thandavam-myview.html)
Mugamoodi(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/09/mugamoodi-myview.html)
Naan(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/09/naan-myview.html)
Billa 2(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/07/billa-2-myview.html)
Saguni(http://dickilona.blogspot.in/2012/06/saguni-myview.html)

Kumki - MyView

After a day's struggle and quest hunt to many cinema hall, at last we made it into the Movie.

Prabhu solomon as usual had a very good opening. All theaters are running houseful, even the night shows.
So no doubt it would be a box office hit, if the same wave continues.

First important thing in the movie is cinematography and post processing. Colors speak out the beauty of nature and freshness. Sukumar gets a kudos for the specific mind boggling shot of the falls. Secondly the Art direction and Third VFX and CG team.

But on the whole, Thambi Ramaiah and Iman carry the movie on their shoulders till climax. Thambi Ramaiah with the style of Vadivelu(we dont know who copied who) rocks the screen with rib tickling mind voice counters. Like other successful directors, Prabhu solomon had felt that comedy is the magic portion with would create a spell bound on viewers. It helped him.

Iman on the other hand had not slipped at any part let it be the tribe village, or the love or the suspense. Songs were already an hit, and audience response to their favorite song proves it.

Story with Elephant has always a craze between us, right from Nalla neram, and lot of Ramanarayan films. This movie is also not an exception, and it surely give us the delight.

Director has taken a straight forward story, and its a blend of many familiar movies which we had seen in 80s, 90s. But few things could have give little more treatment so that the movie looks little complete. Like the reason our heroine falling in love with hero, guest visiting forest rangers, and specifically abruptly ending climax.

New face Vikram Prabhu, a entrant from acting family (Sivaji Ganesan's Grand son) has shown very good screen presence. Lakshmi menon has done her part very well. Though the hero and heroine resemble the template of Myna, it doesn't spoil the show.

With the present list of movies released  we are in position to choose between the least worst movie. In that case, you can count on Kumki.


Kumki - Joy of Elephant Ride.
