"Naanna" Movie Review

Naanna" is mesmerising with straight narration & crisp story-telling by Dir Vijay. No stunts, no items, no sleaze. Surprise, fully-clothed Anushka, mentally-challenged Vikram, angel-like baby Sara. Great performances by All. Comedian Santhanam draws out loudest laughs. 2nd half has few flaws in court scenes, though intriguing. GVPrakash scores good music. Dir hits it clear-You dont need IQ to bring up a child.

"Villain" Movie Review or "Raavanan" Movie Review

"Raavanan" or "Villain" movie tries to break new ground in showing villain as hero and hero as villain. It assembles an ace team who are at Mani "Sir"s beck and call - AR Rehman, Santosh Sivan and a starcast that's contracted to give super-profits even if they show up once. `Ramayana' comes alive in this movie and throws up some dazzling moments - but Mani is losing touch with evocative themes and entertainment in the pursuit of cinematic excellence and artistry.  No wonder they are not firing at BO. Vikram shows more versatility than Aiswarya.
