Spadikam (1995)

The movie represents the obscure relationship between a father and a son in the most legendary fashion and the result is one of the best Indian movies

[10/10 · 4 June 2012]

Sphadikam, belongs to the class of south Indian cinema which is almost extinct at the present time. One of the most prodigal characters, Thomas chako aka aadu thoma along his father chako maash(kaduva chako) make the movie the most impactful psychological experience a south Indian can achieve. The kind of music, direction and cinematography we can spot in the movie is completely void from the south Indian film industry now. The striking dialogs and incredible acting make the viewer have goosebumps. Its a shame that Malayalam movies have gone a lot down from this kind of quality in direction and acting. Even Mohanlal(Thomas chako) has begun doing pathetic movies like Alexander the great and Kandahar. As for sphadikam, its the most kick-ass movie in Malayalam along with devasuram. Truly a legendary one for the directors.

Nanban (2012)

The movie dwells around the story of three friends and their life in one of the most celebrated institutes in the country.

Even though the movie is a remake of the much celebrated Hindi movie "3 idiots",based on chetan bhagat's bestseller "five point someone",the cast delivers a pathetic performance on screen. Yet,the reason for the movie's success can only be explained by the expert direction of the movie by Shankar. But,however, if you are a vijay fan, you'll love the movie just like you loved velayudham or kaavalan. The chance of you liking the movie is even higher if you haven't seen 3 idiots. Like i said earlier,the movie is an exact copy in story and script only. The performance by the cast including vijay is depressingly pathetic as the full crew is failing consistently in creating a good quality sequence or giving justice to the quality of the story. So in a nutshell, the movie sucks.
