Ayalum Njanum Thammil – keeps the audience engaged and maintains the curiosity till the end… The non linear narration has been effectively used to maintain the interest levels of the audience till the end for a plot otherwise would have been biographical…

Maattraan – If you go with a checklist that you would want to see in a KV Anand flick, stunning visuals, different plot, pacy script, bar song, twist in the plot… you would come with everything checked… a decent entertainer… but still stereotypical for KV Anand and Surya.. If you compare it with Ko you might be disappointed… the difference between the two has been that the Twist in the tale was broken in the first half unlike Ko where he was able to save it till the end… Not a bad movie…

Madagascar 3: Europe’s most wanted is yet another Madagascar series… Scores better than 2 in many parts but still fails to create the magic like the first one. The movie is brilliant in parts like the chasing sequence in Monte Carlo… And dragging in a few… Overall you could watch it once… Kids would love the visuals and favorite characters doing what they are best at!

Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Eppadi – A decent attempt in making a short film into a full length movie. Certain movies need to be kept precise this is one of it. The first half is too lengthy and dragging… Although nth adoption of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus it is still worth the watch for its freshness and first person narration…
