Last week i saw Mynaa, which is touted to be the best film that has been released this diwali. I went to a theatre which was located near my home for a fifty rupees ticket. After watching the film I would say the film was worth even 100 Bucks.
Tamil Cinema has been growing leaps and bounds over the past few years. Artistic excellence, brilliant screenplays and good storylines have emerged. Prabhu solomon the guy who directed King, Lee, Laadam and Kokki. All these films barring the Item numbers and C centric music has been movies that doesnt disaapoint you, not at all bad films. With Mynaa i would say he has raised himself into a different league. Prabhu solomon seems to be a director who works with actors and technicians who are new to the industry and extracts decent work. He worked with Vikram in King, another wonderful actor Karan in Kokki, Literally changed Sibi in Lee.
Prabhu Solomon does films in a kind of a framework , minimal budgets, low key cinematography, Lesser known actors and technicians. Cinematographer Sukumar who has worked with him in laadam has done a wonderful job of shooting the film with minimal lights mostly in natural light. Casting is one of the toughest decisions to be taken in Pre Production. Prabhu Solomon has done a commendable effort towards it. He has intelligently opened the film with a conversation which seems like it didnt connect with the story, but it surely did near the end.
I dont want to review this film and create spoilers. Actors have done a great job specially Viddarth and Amala Paul(The lead). Imman has rediscovered himself through this film. The songs are full of heart and soul. I couldnt hear the Background score in the film, it never dominated the visuals. Go watch this movie, in my book this is the best Tamil film of the year till date, standing next is Kalavani,Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya and Raavanan.
I would like to count the list of tamil films that have gory, brutal or negative endings in the last few years. I figure it all started with Balaji Sakthivel's Kaadhal and Bala's Sethu. Came Nandha, Kallori, Bala's pithamagan, Ameer's Paruthi Veeran and Raam, Vasantha Balan's Angadi theru and Veyyil. Bala's very own Naan Kadavul, Ram's Katradhu Tamizh, Kunguma Poovum Konji Puraavum. Gautham Menon's Kakkhaa Kakkha and Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya. Has it become a norm that ending a film on a sad not and making the audience speechless makes the film work or do wonders at the box office? . Ending a film in a certain way depends upon the idea or the message you want to convey to the audience. Have a great week at the movies. You have good movies running in cinema Halls near your place and also awaiting for release.
