Ajith FAN Honest Review of Vidamuyurchi

Verdict : Overall it is an one time watchable action thriller. Keep your expectations low and you will enjoy it. I am mildly satisfied. But don’t worry Good Bad Ugly will be a real celebration for us. Marks - 55–60/100 Review posted AROK in Balus Box Office As an Ajith fan I need to review this film in a honest way. I should not cheat my followers who watches movies based on my review. So this will be a very honest review. Positives Ajith Kumar’s electrifying screen presence Trisha’s performance Making First Half love portions Chemistry between Ajith and Trisha Arjun’s fight sequences are very good and still he fights like hell. That’s why he is called Action King Regina Cassandra’s performance Stunt sequences are excellent Anirudh’s BGM and songs (I personally love Thaniye song and Pathikichu) Interval block Technical Aspects like Cinematography (especially Sawadeeka portion), editing etc. Negatives Second half is very much generic and predictable Ajith’s fights are bit mediocre and Ajith actually moves a bit slowly Regina’s flashback is unwanted and bad The first 30 minutes in the first half may not work for hardcore Ajith fans. It is more like Yennai Arinthaal love scenes. Very good scenes but not suitable for Ajith fans (not a negative but a negative for hardcore Ajith fans) Narration and screenplay in second half could have been better Some characters performance like Aarav is underwhelming. Even Ajith’s acting is not very good. It’s only decent. Emotions connects in parts Overall Vidaamuyarchi is an average thriller. Does the film satisfy all? If you keep your expectations low, it may satisfy you Is the film really horrible as some guys in X like Christopher Kanakaraj says? No, it is not horrible. It is an okayish watch Will the film become a hit? Possiblities are high. I don’t know what is the budget exactly. Some are saying 250 crores, some are saying 300 crores and some are saying 180 crores. If the budget is between 180–230 crores, there are higher chances of the film to become a success. If the budget is 250 crores, then it will become an AVERAGE-ABOVE AVERAGE grosser. If the budget is 300 crores, then it will be difficult to break even. Overall it is an one time watchable action thriller. Keep your expectations low and you will enjoy it. I am mildly satisfied. But don’t worry Good Bad Ugly will be a real celebration for us. Marks - 55–60/100

Car Racing only a hobby says Naga Chaitanya

'Dhandel' is the biggest budget film in my film career. Car racing is just a hobby, but there is no proper training for it - Naga Chaitanya 'Dhandel' - It's a love story - Naga Chaitanya Expectations are increasing for the Naga Chaitanya-Sai Pallavi co-starring film 'Dhandel', which is set to release on February 7th, not only in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana but also across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and North India. The film crew is actively promoting the film 'Dhandel', which centers on the patriotic and emotional love story of a young fisherman, to reach out to fans from all walks of life across India. Directed by Sandhu Mondetti, the film titled Thandel stars Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi, Karunakaran, Aadukalam, Naren Bablu and many others. The cinematography of this film is done by Shyam Dutt and Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad has produced it. The film, which will be released worldwide in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi on the 7th, is produced by producer Bunny Vas under Geetha Arts. The film is presented by Allu Aravind. In Tamil, the film is presented by producer SR Prabhu under Dream Warrior Pictures. As fans' expectations for the film skyrocket, hero Naga Chaitanya shares his experiences about the film. About Chennai...? Chennai has always been special to me. My life began here. I have many unforgettable experiences in Chennai. What inspired you to act in this film? After hearing the story of this film, despite all the commercial aspects, it is basically a love story. I liked it a lot. The fans who watch the film will also feel this love intimately. You look different in this movie than the usual Naga Chaitanya.. Regarding this..!? Director Sandhu had explained the screenplay of my character in this film when he met me. After hearing that, I believed that it was the right opportunity for the actor to showcase his talent. The story of the film is also a long journey, traveling from Sri Ka Kulam near Visakhapatnam, going to Gujarat, from there to Pakistan, going to jail there, and then returning to his homeland. This really impressed me. After that, I went to Sri Ka Kulam in person and met the fishermen there, and talked to them and learned about their lifestyle - their pronunciation style - their physical appearance - and their professional style. What challenges do they face when they go to sea? How do they face them? I asked them about all this in detail. When they go into the sea to catch fish, they stay in the sea for about a month. While they are in the sea, their cell phones do not work. They have no connection with this world. After hearing all this, I became inspired and started preparing myself for this role. This made a big difference in my film journey. Be it my appearance... my body language... my local dialect and pronunciation... I was immersed in this for almost a year. This journey gave me an unforgettable experience. The character Raju that I played in the film 'Dhandel' affected me in many ways. All the feelings related to the evolution of a human being came to me while playing this character. It also made me realize that we should treat people with love. How was your experience working with the director? This is the third film I am acting in under the direction of director Sandhu Mondetti. Every film is in a different genre. The story of this film. The budget of this film. Its grandeur. The quality of production.. everything is new to me and to the director. It has never been done in any film before. It is huge. This shows the growth of the director. Sandhu thinks a lot for me. He has shown me in a new way in this film. Be it a love scene... be it a fight scene... be it a dance scene... Sandhu will always be there for me. For this, I thank him at this moment. What are your hobbies besides acting? Apart from acting, I am involved in car racing. For this, I thank Chennai again. I have visited the car races held at the car racing ground in Irungattu Fort, Chennai. I have enjoyed it. It is just my hobby. I have not taken any formal training for it. However, I have driven racing cars when I get some free time. A fisherman fishing in the sea - The neighboring Pakistani government arrests and imprisons fishermen for fishing across the border. How did they escape from prison? How was the struggle of their family members? The film 'Dandel', which is being prepared as an emotional work based on this true incident, reflects the feelings of Tamil Nadu fishermen and is expected to be a huge success in Tamil Nadu as well. The film will be released in theaters worldwide on the 7th.

Parsakthi is Rajendran biopic / Ajith is King of Opening / C Sankaran Nair biopic renamed

Parasakthi film directed by Sudha Kongara is based on the Rajendran the student who lost his life during the anti- Hindi agitation in Tamil Nadu during a police firing against the agitators. The DMK government installed a statue of Rajendran in the Annamalai University. Rajendran body was found with bullet in his forehead, He was laid to rest in his village near Coimbatire. Sivakarthikeyan plats Rajendran in the film and like Amaran, this too is a biopic and here too he is a martyr. Who plays Bhaktavasalam is not known. This is second biopic for Sudha after Irudhi Suttru based on Air Deccan founder Gopinath. There was criticism that Sudha had unnecessarily inserted Periyar photo and create a belief that Gopinath is not from Brahmin community, a distortion of fact. Similarly many incidents were added to give it a filmic touch. In Amarn there was a criticism that hero Mukund’s caste being a Brahmin was totally submerged in the narrative. Yet another aspect is that the then Madurai Collector was T N Seshan who took CM Bhaktavalsam orders seriously and gave police the free hand to resort to firing to put down the agitation. Yet another interesting part is that Congress workers surrounded actor S S Rajendran house as it had a black flag flying. To disperse the crowd, Rajendran fired a few shots from his gun. Many political leaders like Vaiko and other DMK leaders will have to feature in the film narration.

Within 24 hrs, more than 44.62 K tickets were booked. We are gonna see why Ajith is called the King Of Opening. Record opening on cards. If the film clicks, this film will become Ajith’s best grosser and would boost his market and Good Bad Ugly’s expectations by the exhibitors.
