Vettaiyyan effectively explores the theme "justice hurried is justice buried." While it's more of a Rajinikanth film than a full-fledged Gnanavel movie, the director’s influence is noticeable. The first half is well-paced and engaging, though the second half could have been tighter. Performances from Fahad, Ritika, Kishore, Dushara, and Amitabh are commendable, and each actor fits their role neatly. Overall, Vettaiyyan is a solid film with a powerful message, though it could have benefited from a stronger second half. Ani's work is very average.

Lubber Pandhu, directed by Tamilarasu Pachamuthu, is a brilliant debut film that stands out as a wholesome entertainer. The casting and characterizations are spot on, with the performances adding depth to the film’s emotional core. Dinesh delivers an excellent performance, and the entire cast brings their characters to life authentically. The movie’s dialogues and message resonate, even for those with no understanding of cricket, making it accessible and enjoyable for all. The film beautifully explores various relationships, such as father-daughter, husband-wife, friends, and even the touching bond between the family cow and the lady of the house. Lubber Pandhu also serves as a heartfelt tribute to Vijayakanth capturing his spirit in a way no other film has. Overall, it’s a must-watch for its engaging story, relatable characters, and emotional depth. A true entertainer from start to finish!

"Raayan" offers a superb first half with wonderful, detailed characterisation and amazing performances by the entire cast, especially Sandeep and Dhanush. Their dialogue delivery and body language are just great, making the characters come alive on screen. The second half, however, could have been better. Dhanush's attention to the story and screenplay wanes, which impacts the overall pacing and coherence. Despite this, the choreography, cinematography, and stunt action sequences, particularly the interval portion, are well executed. Although the climax reminds one of Vetrimaran's "Aadukalam," it sets up an intriguing lead for a potential second part. A.R. Rahman's music in this movie is distinct and different, adding a unique flavor to the film. However, Dhanush's costume choices, predominantly linen, could have been better aligned with his character. The movie does suffer from a lack of logic in several areas, with many loose ends left unresolved. As Dhanush's second directorial venture, his efforts are commendable despite these shortcomings. With more focus on the latter half, "Raayan" could have been an outstanding film.

Aadujeevidham: The Goat Life offers a raw and powerful portrayal of modern-day slavery, anchored by Prithviraj and Jimmy Louis's compelling performances. K.R. Gopal impresses with depth, while Sunil's cinematography captures Kerala's beauty and the desert's harshness. A.R. Rahman's restrained score complements the poignant narrative. The film's authenticity and lack of cinematic clichés make it a thought-provoking and gripping watch.

"Merry Christmas," starring Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif, is a wonderful blend of mystery, drama, and love. The film delves into the profound meanings of love, violence, sacrifice, and agony, hasty decision ....that create a vacuum in one's life. The origami, especially the symbolic swan, adds a unique layer to the narrative, mirroring the fragility of emotions. The "yaadhoom" moment is poignant, capturing the essence of realization with authenticity. Sethupathi and Kaif deliver stellar performances, their chemistry enhancing the emotional depth of the story. the film is a captivating exploration of human relationships, leaving a lasting impact. Must watch movie. Briliant climax without dialogues. Heartmelting❤

Finally Adhi has started his innings. Much much better than his previous movies. Special applause 👏 🙌 👌 to dialogue writers. Many punch and special messages are written in a simple way. He is the only one who masks all flaws in the screenplay. Good work. Must watch.
