STORY:
The Story revolves in and around two Super Duper figures "Aishwarya
Rai" and "Tabu". I guess this is movie
than enough for any one who goes to a Tamil movie. Right from the
introduction scene of the Two stars "Aishwarya" and
"Tabu" till the end of the
movie there is
not even a single place you can say that its not catchy, its odd
as both these females satisfy our Jollus with their costumes,
smile and with divine Aishwarya Rai's Beauty. No Questions and No
chance. The movie starts as Both these females get out of a Lotus
Pond calling each other Akka.. Thangachi .... Who bothers
"If it is AKKA or SOKKA .. All that matters is two Kattais
coming out of the pond in a TRADITIONAL THIRUNELVELI SWIM
SUIT". For those who does not know what is a THIRUNELVELI
SWIM SUIT its a swim suit females wear when the Village Chappa
Figures take bath in TAMIRABARANI River in Thirunelveli. Its like
tying their "PAVADAI" till their Neck and calling each
other PODI.... VADI ....!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Then to keep the tempo going a dream song by "Aishwarya
Rai" in different costumes sung by "SADANA
SARGAM" and A.R. REHMAN in action for a Viramuthu Song .... Man
what else can you expect when all these combination are put
together. "AISHU" doll comes in PAVADAI and DAVANI with
her "MALIGAI POO" and real neat Ornaments for the super
duper hit song..
"Konjum Mainakale Konjum Mainakale .....
Un Kural ketka Engu Varungal....... "
Thats it man you are done, If you are a Aishwarya Fan. Take it
from me they pumped out Liters and Liters of JOLLU from the
theatre here in COLUMBUS, OHIO. Sad thing is SADANA SARGAM has a
peculiar HINDI accent although the song was too good people felt
odd. Sree Vidhya gets introduced as Mom for both Aishwarya and
Tabu. Mamooty gets introduced as an Army officer who lost his leg
in a war and Ajit gets introduced as an assistant director who is
struggling to find his way in movie industry. Ajit who meets Tabu
falls in Love with her. Then the usual Romeo, Juliet formulae of
Tamil movies like AJIT wearing a Rajastan Dress in a desert an
excellent song by ................. remembers us SARATH
KUMAR and NAGMA. He is the only person in the world who exactly
fits for these kind of Desert/Rajastan style Dance and can build
Pyramids on Nagma's Hip. Kanravi da swamy !!!! I hope he will do
it in his next movie.
Mamooty who falls in one side love with Aishwarya Rai seeks help
from Manivannan to set up Aishwarya. But Aishwarya whose dream is
to fall in love with some one who she really likes and dreams
about him every day. Suddenly one day our "ALL INDIA
USSSS PARTY PRESIDENT" ABBAS
comes floating in a river with a black Jeans and Black T-Shirt.
Everyone in the theatre started shouting "Who Is
this AMBALAI and USSSSSSSSSSSS" and lifts Aishwarya
Rai like "PANDIYARAJAN lifts "KOLANKUDI
KARUPAYEE" in "ANNPAVAM" and both of them exchange
"BARADHIYAR Songs" which literally brought nothing but
irritation. I don"t find any reason why BARADHIYAR
songs are needed to say their love. Both Ajith and Abbas Promise
Tabu and Aishwarya that they will go to Madras and Marry them
ASAP. Mamooty is left over with his broken heart who cant impress
Aishwarya !!
Here comes the twist in the movie. The House in which they were
staying goes to "NIZALGAL" RAVI and Sree Vidhya,
Aishwarya and Tabu gets kicked out and they move to Madras in
search of new life. Mamooty helps them in all way for the family
to get settled. TABU joins a Software Development firm as
a Receptionist and then becomes a DEVELOPER 2000 and FORMS 6.0
specialist as her Boss RAHUVARAN thinks that she is a better
DEVELOPER 2000 programmer. Aishwarya joins a singing
troop and becomes famous. Meanwhile ABBAS financial company
closes down and he is forced to marry a Politician sister. AJIT
becomes a big director. Aishwarya falls in love with Mamooty who
is with the family when they were down.
Rahuvaran promotes TABU from DEVELOPER 2000 Programmer to
DEVELOPER 3000 Programmer and asks her to leave Chennai to
California. I think these days going to California is
like going to GUMMUDYPOONDY in Tamil movies like a Boss
asking the Office boy to book a ticket to California as if he is
going to book a Evening show for some Ramarajan Movie. Again a
over projected Software engineer scenes in this movie like
talking about finishing Projects in One week to satisfy clients
in USA and the office boy serving Pizza in each table. After four
years of my life in USA I still eat 'THYIR SADAM' and
'LEMON SADAM' in my office. I dont know what project they develop
and what is PIZZA going to do with Software development
cycle. The movie ends as Ajit becomes a successful director and
Marries Tabu and Mamooty marries Aishwarya!
MAMOOTY:
Probably the best actor in the whole movie was MAMOOTY and
RAHUVARAN with their touch of class between Show Dolls although
MAMOOTY looks like a Person who puts "NENDRAN KAYE
CHIPS IN KOTTAYAM, KERALA". (KOTAYAM LE NENDRAN KAYE CHIPS
PODARAVAN MADIRI IRUKAN). I still remember when i went
to KERALA for a trip I exactly saw a person like MAMOOTY who was
putting chips in the hot coconut oil. They both over came in
between the divine beauty of Aishwarya and Tabu. He comes as an
Army officer and a supportive member of a struggling family who
cant express his love and feeling sorry when ABBAS and Aishwarya
exchanges BARADHIYAR songs and begging MANIVANNAN for some ideas
to get rid of ABBAS and replace him in AISHU's heart. Especially
that "KANAM BOCHI ENADA SONG" ...... MAMOOTY
stands apart.
RAHUVARAN impressed the crowd with his Software Manager Looks
with his Tie and Arrow shirt with a manager smile and talking
about Developer 2000 Project. Man he is the actor of Kodambakkam
and in a side angle he looks like Bill Gates, He is a great
actor.
AJIT & ABBAS :
Ajit did his job as usual shaking his hips like "THANJAVUR
BOMMAI" dancing with TABU in "RAJASTAN,
UZBEGISTAN,
KAZAGASTAN" deserts
as usual. Now we will come to "ALL INDIA USSSSSSS PARTY
PRESIDENT" ABBAS. I dont have anything against Abbas. Let me
say something! ABBAS came on screen and the whole theatre started
to shout
"HE IS THE MAN" "HE IS THE MAN".. USSSSS
USSSSSS etc etc. He exactly looks like a "FEMALE FROM BOMBAY
WITH A bop hair cut". (BOMBAY KARIKU BOP VETNA MADIRI
IRRUKAN".
In one song he comes with a Black Chudidhar and I was
shocked to see two females dancing together. I think directors in
Kodambakkam can use him for some Female characters or for some
Dual role !! No Acting, No Expression and all that is left over
is Irritating USSSS USSSS sound from audience.
AISHWARYA RAI & TABU:
Now lets come to the stars who are talked about. AISHWARYA is a
divine beauty we have in our industry. She is the most beautiful
actress in this whole world. After seeing Juliya Roberts, Sharone
Stone I think Aishwarya is far far better than these Hollywood
stars. Right from her Iruvar, her Make up less action in TAAL,
her Rajastani character in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam till
todays Meenu
Character in "Kandukondain Kandukondain" she is simply
superb. Her dance movements in her Lehanga choli that too a grand
grand one makes the audience to fill the theatre with liters of
jollu. I bet even if a 60 years old Perisu looks at Aishwarya he
will for sure fall for her. Especially in that "Konjum
Mainakale .... Song" Man she was simply superb. We
are fortunate to see a model turning into an actress and i think
she is the only female model in the industry to act continiously.
act continuously without any break. One thing i was amazed to see
is her dressing. I dont know and I really dont know what to write
after seeing her. Her structure is the best i have ever seen in
movies. Tall, Speaking eyes with her, neat and sharp face ....
Acting was ok and who really cares for acting when a barbie doll
comes before you. I love Aishu Doll and I hope she acts in more
movies and be a feast for Indian Movie and cine lovers.
TABU was simply superb in acting. She has done her job with lots
and lots of involvement. One thing that was odd was AJIT paired
for TABU. She looks little older but acting was simply superb. I
think artist like TABU must not be wasted. I saw a movie called
POLICE KILLADI recently and she was just the actress we want in
our industry. In this movie she comes as a Family head and sister
of Aishwarya ! Great job although she does not suit for duets
that too with AJIT KUMAR.
A.R. REHMAN, VAIRAMUTHU & SONGS:
The Songs in this movie are the best we have heard for a long
long time. Of course 'Alaipayudhe' was yet another hit with the
same magical combination of A.R. REHMAN, VAIRAMUTHU. Especially
that "KANDUKONDAIN KANDUKONDAIN" by HARIHARAN. I
dont know how many hits these guys can give in this competitive
Musical world. If you hear these melodious songs in night for
sure you will float in air. How about the New singer "
SHANKAR MAHADEVAN" in that "ENNA SOLLA POGIRAI
SONG" in the desert. Man when you hear these kinds
of pleasant music Your mind gets cleared and it gives lots and
lots of energy to us. How about CHITRA !!! My favorite singer in
her "KANAM BOOCHI ENNADA EN KANNA" Song
with JESUDAS. I think she must be awarded the best singer of the
year for that song. Of course thanks "SADHANA
SARGAM" for her "KONJUM
MAINAKALE" song. But when you compare all of them I
think CHITRA Is CHITRA with her melodious Sweet voice. HATS
off to AR REHMAN and the MUSIC troop which worked for
"KANDUKONDEIN KANDUKONDEIN" and I love to here
more in future from AR REHMAN.
LOLLU COMMENTS:
I would say RAJEEV MENON has succeeded in this movie. This is his
Second production after is Average hit movie "Minsara
Kanavu". Its not easy to make a good story with Three heroes
and two heroines that too with mega stars like Mamooty, Ajith,
Aishwarya and Tabu, Rahuvaran giving equal importance to
everyone. To be frank Mamooty and Tabu were the best among all of
them with RAHUVARAN giving good support with his majestic smile !
I dont know from where RAHUVARAN got his acting talent. People
start to scream when they see RAHUVARAN on screen.
Aishu was so beautiful and Rajeev Menon has captured her Frame by
Frame ! I think Aishu's fans must get a DVD of this movie ! I
dont know what do say ! She is the best. I would love to see
another "HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM" in tamil and Aishu
doing that NIMUDA NIMUDA song ! That will be a feast. ABBAS was
irritating with his USSSSS face and USSSSS acting and USSSSSS
dressing. Songs were really cool and were pleasant to hear
although the choreography was not that great. Excellent job by
AR. REHMAN and Co !!!
A good movie that will for sure steal the hearts of Tamil movie
fans and Aishwarya fans. "KALAIPULI S. DHANU" who was
doing some crazy movie with Some Artist has come out with a good
production. Lollu Express grades this movie to be an excellent
movie with a cinematic touch by RAJEEV MENON and a
Musical touch by AR REHMAN and a GOLDEN touch by VAIRAMUTHU
although the movie will not please the THIRUNELVELI PERISUS and
KADYAMPATTI KEZA BOLTS who wants RAMARAJAN to dance with Karagam
and KASTURI RAJA to direct with at least five PANIYAR Scenes. I
grade this movie 80/100. Enjoy and have fun and mail me your
