Traler review:
Viswaroopam trailer is a stunning mind blowing ride, Kamal have lost his belly and looks young as ever. In the beginning gun shots were matched with Kamal's vocals, denoting that Kamal has some evil inside him. This fact will be proved when Andreah says "Indha padathula ellarukkume double role" means everyone in this film has a double role(Positive & Negative). Positive and Negative is cleared when Pojja Kumar asks "Neenga nallavara Kettavara(Are you a good man or a bad man)" for which Kamal answers "To answer your question, am both I am the Hero & am the villain. So with this trailer it is very sure that Kamal has a double role one being a Kathak dancer and other as an camouflaged terrorist. Background music was good.

Rating: 3.75/5

Here is what Kamal has to say about his Magnum Opus "Vishwaroopam".

A marriage of convenience

Vishwanath alias Wiz, a Kathak exponent and Nirupama get married. Each have an agenda and seem to have achieved their wishes in three years of matrimony.

Nirupama gets her Phd and Wiz runs his dance class in New Jersey unhindered by each other. All is fine till Dr. Nirupama aspires for more and wants to opt out of the arranged marriage.

She cannot cite any specific reason to leave Wiz as there is nothing much to complain about him. Every male according to Nirupama must have a flaw. So she decides to find out something about him to feel better about her decision to part . She hires a detective to rake up something on him.

And all hell breaks loose.

Vishwaroopam is something that has been in my mind for nearly seven years. I hope it stays in my audience`s mind for at least half that time, By Kamal Haasan.

Nanban Review

The story of how 3 fellows became thick mates, the story of a man who opposed the education system, a sweet love story, the search for a lost friend and with many more, the official remake of 3 Idiots in Tamil, Nanban (Friend) is an immensely gratifying experience.

The story basically revolves around a college, and everything that grows into life from it; Events stringed over a non-linear screenplay is what it’s all about. Just like Hirani’s earlier ones, there’s life in most events, events that you would relate to, events that paint a smile on your face, present in plenty. Well-sketched characters, and a neat flowing screenplay make this journey immensely delightful in more than a single way.

The highpoint of this flick, definitely is Vijay. Surprisingly, turns out with one of his career-best performances, after a long hiatus of cliche-filled roles. Aamir’s performance has clearly been taken as gospel, but still Vijay adds to it, a zing of his own. Jiiva again is a delight to watch, while Srikanth bounds leaps into commendable territory, from all the silver-screen debacles of his past. Sathyan is a livewire, whereas Sathyaraj is perfect in place. Ileana, sadly is the huge disappointment for an otherwise performance package; Varied scales of performance, with generous usage of her hip ( there’s even a song praising it! ).

Technically the film is top-notch. Manoj Paramahamsa’s cinematography makes you totally fall in love with the lush locales of Ooty as well as Andaman, as well as offer an undeterred visual experience in the emotional sequences. The CG work, though in bits, is done neat. Harris’s songs are peppy and hummable, though, the score falls short of being truly lifting, dramatic considering the movie’s emotional curve. Songs could have been shot better, though the director’s outrageous take on his very own ways has to be given a pat on the back. Antony’s edit falls short of expectations, for the few bad transits and a painfully long second half.

Finally Shankar; Probably the best thing he did, once deciding to remake 3Idiots, was to add nothing. To just replicate it, almost. Wise move, because most directors try remaking films in their own way and tamper with the original’s impact. Sadly, it’s not being appreciated much, audience somehow want Shankar to add as many new scenes he could possibly do. I’d rather commend him for the guts, a director of his stature could have, to photocopy a film ( officially! ), and to declare openly that every single appreciation Nanban would fetch, would truly belong to Hirani and not himself. Kudos! That tight slap struck every single one out there, shamelessly remaking under the alias of inspiration.

Nanban, is the perfect cocktail you need this Pongal. Laugh, learn, love and cry through this bittersweet experience that only leaves you wanting for more in the end.

Rating : 4/5

P.S: I am not a fan boy of vijay's mass masala flicks, this is completely different for him. He is back with a bang, and yeah the vijay that we liked in the old ages like ”Thulladha manamum thullum”,“kadhalukku mariyadhai”..... times are back. And he has performed exceedingly well when compared to his recent flicks.
