Kaakha Kaakha (2003)

My Favourite Cop Movie

[10/10 · 6 August 2008]

It has been almost 5 years since the release of this stylish action flick.I have watched this movie almost 10 times and it a great effort by Gautham.From my perspective,I feel this movie is virtually flawless. Surya as ACP Anbuchelvan-no doubt..classy.Jyothika played her role as Maya very well.The character suits her very well.The character that caught movie-goers attention was Pandia.Jeevan played the role of Pandia very well.Brutal and fearsome.Jeevan deservedly received the Best Villain award in the ITFA 2004.The supporting cast of Daniel Balaji,Devadharshini and other performed well.

Racy screenplay,perfectly-timed dialogues and brilliant narration by Gautham.The soundtrack by Harris Jeyaraj are all chart-busters while the BGM suits the movie very well.Cinematography by R.D. Rajasekhar is rich.Peter Hein choreographed the stunts well.Anthony's editing is precise.Above all,Kaakha Kaakha is a perfect cop film filled with right doses of action and romance.

Even some Hollywood film cant compete with Kaakha Kaakha...undoubtedly.

Dasavatharam (2008)

A Masterpiece

[8/10 · 6 August 2008]

Like many other Indians around the world,I have been anticipating the release of Dasavatharam for almost two years.When it was finally released,I was really impressed with the outcome.Dasavatharam was postponed numerous times but the outcome is fantastic.

Biotechnology,Hinduism and Chaos Theory were all combined to produce this blockbuster.Dasavatharam has impressed in all aspects."Universal Hero"Kamal Hassan portrayed the 10 different roles with sheer authenticity.From the 12th century Brahmin to the trigger happy Christian Fletcher,the roles were performed very well.Ravi Varman has continued the good job which he had done in Anniyan and Vettaiyadu Vilayadu while Himesh Reshammiya,who made his debut in Kollywood has done a satisfactory job in providing the soundtrack.

Although the movie is quite dragging like many other Kamal movies,notably Hey Ram and Mumbai Xpress,it still contained the essential elements of a perfect film.The music could be better if AR Rahman or Harris Jeyaraj or even Yuvan Shankar Raja were roped in.Other than that,there is no other flaws in Dasavatharam.A masterpiece from Kamal.Hats Off!!
