It is common knowledge that both P.Vasu, and Raghava Lawrence are kings of horror comedies. P. Vasu ‘s immensely successful Chandramukhi that featured Rajnikanth,  went on to break a number of box-office records.  Raghava Lawrence’s Muni/Kanchana series were super successful. This is the first time, they are coming together for a movie.  Irudhi Suttru fame Rithika Singh plays the female lead. The team released a couple of sneak peeks on Thursday. This movie also marks Vadivelu’s comeback. Sakthi Vasudevan, the son of P.Vasu plays the character of the murdered man.  It is a family entertainer.

  1. Kadamban

Direction: Raghav

Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Duration: 2 hours 22 minutes

Arya plays the title role Kadamban, in the movie.  This movie is an effort to educate the people on tribes who have been protecting the forests in our country, from modernization, for generations. A corporate biggie tries to get the tribes to move to a different place so that he can mine the rich limestone in the Kadamba forest without any issues. He is planning to mine the place illegally. When the tribal people refuse to move, he plans to kill them. He sends hordes of men to destroy the tribes, and a lot of them end up getting killed. The remaining tribes decide to fight back.

Arya has done a lot of homework and has played his role to perfection. Though he does a lot of modern romantic movies, he has put-in great effort to play offbeat roles. Catherine Tresa is good. The VFX and cinematography are on point. The movie talks about deforestation, exploitation of natural resources, tribal culture, and capitalism.

The son who is the breadwinner of the family is always into his work. Paandi decides to go on a trip with an old gang of bikers. He meets his first love Poothendral.

This movie marks Dhanush’s directorial debut. It is a heartwarming movie that talks about father-son conflicts, an old man meeting his first love after ages, and being a cool grandpa. Rajkiran who plays the lead role Power Paandi has managed to tug the emotional strings of the hearts of the audience. Dhanush, despite being the director and producer of the film, Dhanush has left the other actors to the forefront. Dhanush features in the flashback scenes with Madonna Sebastian.
