rajanstephen Semma mass theme music thank u Mr.G.V prakash Kumar sir and Atlee sir

Reno Rangan If Vijay Sethupathy is what makes me to watch the Kollywood films, then Joseph Vijay stands on the other side. No offense to his fans, I was watching his films opening day, opening show (not first show), but I got tired of his same old tricks in his every new film. Anyway, this film is not any good for the international audience, but it's a different scenario for people in domestic market. This is a very good masala film. A fine mix of action, comedy, romance, sentiments and of course musical beats.I think it had potential if it was made like a normal film to the international standards, but you can't expect something like that particularly in Vijay's film. The film story had a good intention like delivering a series of messages to the society, but the execution was completely fake with too much shouting and loud noise. Irrelevant to the reality and there's no politeness while revealing what it wanted to tell the viewers. Like fighting crime and criminals are good, but it was shown in a bad way, such as public disturbances, including damaging roadside stalls and vehicles who are mostly poor people. This is why littering is a very serious concern in India. Films like this should stop promoting that.I liked the part of the story that depicted the Delhi rape incident, but I totally got annoyed when it was overshadowed by heroism. The majority of the comedies were in Tamil slang and was targeted for those with the knowledge of its films. The English subtitle translation was not very good at all. Even the overall film plot was drafted with the same old formula which is an honest cop versus a corrupt politician and involving a revenge act with a flashback.Like always, I hated the music videos. The story takes place on one side and it was frequently interrupted by unsynchronised video albums. It was completely out of proportion. If you skip them, the film is actually 3 minutes short which is a good thing. The casting was good, particularly the film will be remembered for Nainika's big screen debut as a child artist, as well as Vijay's own daughter at the end. So many people are eager for a sequel where he can work with his own daughter.If you are an Indian, then it would be a good watch. If you are from the south, you might love it. But for the international viewers, I must warn that if you know the actor and the director very well, then you would know what to expect, other than than choose it carefully. Only in India this thing happens, that it is rated U which is equivalent to PG, but it is actually an NC17 for violence.6/10

keefas123 Director Atlee let his intentions known to the views right from the launch of the movie. This was always going to be pure out and out commercial pot boiler, no holds barred. Well that's the entire point I believe. Atlee has just celebrated the mass factor called 'Vijay' and has made sure the fans reciprocate the same.Theri has nothing to be remembered in terms of a 'new story'. But it has lot of things to be raved about by means of making. Credits goes to Atlee. The maturity he has managed to show in his second movie itself is spellbinding. He has a clear view about commercial filmmaking works. Even the nook and corner of it. One small example for this guy's prowess is the song sequences. You see in Indian cinema, song sequences occupy an important part. When it is brought about in the perfect proportion and placement, it lets the filmmakers reach an arch of celebration. Whatever the emotion it maybe. Joy, sorrow, love or whatever. Songs let you travel through that emotion in an abstract fashion. And this is why sometimes when song placements go wrong, the entire movie goes horribly wrong too. But this lad just bosses you in this aspect. Seamless and flawless montages for every single song just carries the movie to a whole new level, though the songs by themselves aren't chartbuster by themselves. In particular, "En Jeevan" song montage is OUT OF THE WORLD. Well, an understatement maybe.Coming up to the main factor called 'Vijay', that has propelled this movie by several levels, what else could be said? He is someone who's a honest director's artist. He just replicates director's pen honestly, even if it is absurd (Puli is an example for this maybe :P ). And when you've got such a director here who seldom makes mistake in milking out the finest performance from the given cast, Vijay wouldn't have made a mistake even in the wildest of his dreams I believe. He has churned out such a supremely elegant as well as cute and cheeky performance as Vijay Kumar/Joseph Kuruvilla. May it be his subtle mannerisms as Joseph, or his bold antics and clever tactics as the policeman, or the naughty loverboy, or the man coming back with a vengeance, this man just nailed it. When Vijay is at his best, you aren't bound by logic or you aren't bound by some restricted movements. It gives the audience such a feel-good screen presence thereby bringing out more liberties for the director to explore. We have had him at his best here. Different level _/\_Entire cast justified it's tag by living up to their reputation. Samantha gave a brilliant performance there by managing to throw some scintillating chemistry with Vijay, resulting in a lovely lovely track between them. Baby Nainika was cuteness redefined. Radhika, Prabhu, Rajendran everyone gave an eye-pleasing performance. Special credits to Mahendran whose villain antics was highly impressive. With an eerie body language and dialogue delivery, he reminded me more of "Sivaji" Adhiseshan but at the same time lived up to his hype.Technically the movie was brilliant too. Editing was at its crispiest and creative best. Except for one place. The first rain fight sequence lost its fizz because of some hasty editing in my opinion. Cinematography was at it's glossiest best. Musical score by GV Prakash though wasn't damn too impressive with songs as mentioned earlier, he made up with some pulsating BG score.I couldn't find any faults other than some pacing problem at the start of the second half. But there were enough number of adrenaline pumping scenes to make it up though. At the end of the day, Theri is perfect commercial outing with a potpourri of wide range of emotions at a high level, well scripted brilliantly executed and perfectly enacted.less

Sai Govind Theri- The movie begins with a happy life of vijay and his daughter. For one hour the movie shows only the daily routine of their lives. In between these scenes we get to see flashbacks of vijay's past life. The flashbacks scenes are a bit racy and entertaining though some are predictable. The whole movie is shown in a flashback- present kind of fashion. For about first 40 Minutes the story is bland and doesn't even start in fact. Near the interval we see the story begin and it does promise to take off. However, in the second half the movie seems like a mix of few already seen scenes and a lot of clichés and predictability. The second has is somewhat better than the first in the fact that it is faster and has a story. In few scenes u may feel like the movie is slowing down. The love scenes where nothing new or interesting, and not much of comedy to laugh at. The movie has some real life incidents the society is facing now. Vijay seems like he is out of expressions. The songs could have been better, only enjoyable once where Jithu Jilladi with Deva sir's voice and Eena Meena. The BGM however scores well. The dialogue delivery and modulation is something vijay should work at. Baby Nainika's dialogue are almost not understandable. Amy Jackson has no scope in the movie, her sudden attraction towards vijay for no reason is a bit worrying. Samantha has done her role well nothing much more to say on the lead actresses. Cinematography is on spot and the cinematographer has scored well, even the scenes are good and contrasting well colored. Costume designer too should get a special mention most dresses where too good. The songs could have been reduced. Hope the upcoming directors focus on stories more than songs,as young generation doesn't want much songs at least not more than 2. However, Vijay is choosing different scripts to try and work at that is commendable and hope he comes out with better projects in the future. Director Atlee should not have jumped to a big actor's action movie all of a sudden. However, i hope he sticks to his romantic movies at least for now. To sum it up, it is a treat for vijay fans and can be enjoyed once.
