Years back, the audiences were brimmed with more elatedness to catch a glimpse on film show that depicted the tales set at the backdrops of crossroads. Perhaps, as later when filmmakers drew more adherences towards Westernization motifs, that arena was completely diminished. But again, there drew a great inspiration of these themes from contemporary filmmakers Ameer, Bala, Sasi Kumar and now Raja Mohan.

Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puraavum has soul-swamping poignant tale of glistering vistas. The tale is so simple and yet more substantially carried through about a young guy and gal across village falling in love. But again, what would really strike your mind after the show is that why all films based on nativity has a negative climax.

Kuchelan (Ramakrishnan) happens to be hailing from a middle class family in a village. There arrives Tulasi (Darshana) in his town to her granny’s house once she’s abandoned by her parents. As this young boy and girl develop a good friendship, it naturally turns into a love affair. Once on his way to tour, his mother gets to notice his creative designing of a marriage invitation card. Though not a serious issue, his arrogant mother makes it so. She drags Tulasi onto the centre of Village, humiliates her terribly by cutting her hairs. Unbearable to this insult, the girl moves away to another village, where she’s urged by her close relatives to marry Dharma who’s fit-for-nothing. Rest of the story is about the further proceedings of what happens when the both of them meet again.

Ramakrishna underplays his role at certain extents where he fails to emote well to the appealing situations. But, he has come up with a commendable show on his debut film while Tulasi does her part blissfully. The one who enacts the role of Dharma as a member of Kamal Haasan Fans’ Club Association steals the show. Well, rest of the star-casts has lived under the skin of their characterization.

Musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja is awesome! Especially the melodic numbers ‘Oru Ooril’ and ‘Chinna Chinna’ wins applause for the best tunes. As well Srikanth’s cinematography furthermore embellishes the film with rich colours. Editing could’ve been yet more precisely sharper.

Getting on with narration, Raja Mohan carries the first half with more humorous and lively parts while the latter part is so serious that many wouldn’t watch enjoying it. The biggest flaw of this filmmaker is that he shouldn’t have commenced the film with a flashback thus revealing the climax. On the pars, there are certain dialogues that wouldn’t be easily perceived by City Audiences.

On the whole, ‘Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puraavum’ is a film that will be well received by audiences if they’re watching such genre of nativity for the first time. Fine! For the rest, it’s a clichéd film with average credits.

Bottom – Line: Substantially for small groups

Verdict :Watch it for bold attempt

Starring: Madhavan, Mamta Mohandas, Abbas, Brinda Parekh, Vivek
Production: KRG
Direction: Selva
Music: Srikanth Deva

Years back, now and forever – ‘Yes Boss’ would be best ennobled as ‘crème de la crème entertainer’ with good elements. So, here’s director Selvah far-famed for adding cool-amusing factors to his flicks. Has he delivered a perfect remake of this beautiful film or else has spoiled it? Certainly, the film has been exactly replicated without a change in any frame. But then, what emblazons the screens is sharp-crackling comedy tracks of Vivek. In fact, he rules throughout the film more than Maddy and other characterizations. Precisely, Selvah has tried depicting each characterization with comedy shades.

The film is about Guru (Madhavan) whose dreams are all about becoming a MD of an unbelievable multi-storied concern. He has unlimited desires of claiming of rich and lavish life that’s possible merely with the aid of his boss (Abbas). Boss is as cheap in character as he’s a womanizer and keeps tracking behind every pretty woman in town. To get his things done, Guru has to keep on working on cheapish dirty jobs for his boss. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Seema (Mamta Mohandas), a beautiful model who aspires to marry a person leading a rich life. But, Guru’s so distressed when his boss eyes on her and asks Guru himself to make the way clear for him.

What happens next? Would be remain in his own dreams of achieving his highest dreams or else give them up for the sake of love he has on Seema? Watch the rest on the screens.

As mentioned earlier, there haven’t been changes from the original version. Nothing much to appreciate about Maddy’s characterization for he hasn’t got anything complicated to take on here. He’s a simple cute young man in this film. Ditto to Mamta Mohandas! She’s a perfect casting for this film. Abbas as a devil-minded boss has scores good at certain points while the man who steaks the show is Vivek. The film goes more off his fantabulous comedy tracks and MS Bhaskar adds more to this part.

Musical score by Srikanth Deva is so pathetic as not even a song goes commendable. Rest of the technical aspects aren’t so brilliant.

Director Selvah makes a film that will make you feel it’s worth watching once for the comedy tracks of Vivek as well the script.

Bottom – Line: Not Best as the original

Verdict: Watch it Once.
