Direction: Mysskin
Music: Sundar C Babu
Production: V. Hitesh Jhabak
Mysskin’s spellbinding drama of camaraderie that turns into a cop-tale with quite a few interesting twists does not disappoint. Performances of Narain, Prasanna, and the debutant Ajmal are worth mentioning and watching.
Trade Talk:
Made only in a shoestring budget, Anjaathe has already garnered the investment and moved on to the hit league.
Public Talk:
Mysskin’s next announcement is out.

Verdict: Average

Cast: Bharath, Meera Jasmine, Prem
Direction: VZ Durai
Music: Srikanth Deva
Production: Rama Saravanan
Nepali’s attempt to break the monotony of an outdated script with a few interesting twists and Bharath’s image makeovers seem to be losing momentum. The movie has the boy meets girl, love at first sight, marriage, and tragedy and revenge plot.
Trade Talk:
Nepali is settling into the average league with average returns.

Cast: Prakashraj, Santhanam, Ganja Karuppu, Jyothirmayi, Madhumitha
Direction: Simbhudevan
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: ‘S’ Pictures
Simbhudevan’s Arai En is a social satire that discusses God’s existence and what His ideal contribution to current society ought to be. Santhanam in his meatiest role and Prakashraj as the level-headed God Almighty remain the take away.
Trade Talk:
Seems like Simbhudevan has failed to tag along the success of ‘Imsai Arasan’ and the movie has only garnered below average returns.
Public Talk:
The length of the movie and sermonizing dialogues are dampeners.

Cast: Vijaykanth, Navneet Kaur, Seril Brindo, Rahul Dev, Biju Menon
Direction: R.Madhesh
Music: Srikanth Deva
Production: L.K. Sudheesh
Arasangam employs stylish camera angles and breathtaking locations and sets itself a little apart from the other Vijayakanth movies, making it more watchable. With a script that provides enough fodder for a typical Vijayakanth movie, Director Madesh has done his best to present it with credibility.

Santosh has destroyed most of Bommirillu’s charm and is receiving considerable patronage at the box office. Jeyam Ravi – Prakashraj combo proves unstoppable only because of praksh rajs acting.

Cast: Vijay, Trisha, Suman, Vivek, Manivannan, Malavika, Ashish Vidyarthi
Direction: Dharani
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: Udhayanidhi Stalin
Dharani could not rewrite the ‘Ghilli success story’ because this is not the remake of any telugu movie and Kuruvi seems to be yet another average Vijay movie also considered as flop . With nothing new to offer,its same old vijay formula with some threee two four fights one introduction song two duet songs some sentiments .yaar vijay !!!!!!! when will u think of acting in good movies try to change ur style else u vil loose lots of ur fans .the Vijay - Trisha starrer is fast losing steam among the audience.
Trade Talk:
Collections are still alive and kicking, thanks to the summer vacation season.

One hundred per cent for hardcore Vijay fans.
