Boss Yengira Baaskaran

Cast: Arya, Santhanam, Nayanthara, Saravanan and many
Director: Rajesh
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Genre: Comedy

In his second film very much similar to the first SMS (Siva Manasula Sakthi) Rajaesh had experimented with a very different crew and had succeeded in entertaining (and tickling) the viewers. Arya after his serious role in Madrasapattinam had relaxed in Boss as Boss.

Baskaran's brother Saravanan (Subbu Panchu) is a veterinary doctor and the one who runs the family since his father had died. Baskaran, a city cruiser, not even finished his degree arrears with no work to do (added qualification for Tamil comedy entertainer) meets Chandrika (Nayanthara) in one of his arrear attempts. Boss's friend Nallathambi (Santhanam) owns a Saloon which is the hang out for our hero. 

Boss falls in love with Chandrika, who also happens to be his brother's sister in law. Boss and Nallathambi join hands to make Boss a well earner for the sake of marrying Chandrika. This plight of the two builds up the story.


The first few meetings of Arya and Nayanthara are too coincidental to be believable, but the dialogs and the comical back ups manage to erase the flaws.

The location selection is awesome, temples and ponds filled Kumbakonam is where the film progresses. Santhanam's slapsticks are sure clap gainers. Santhanam this time, had managed to reduce his vulgar and hurting (what-many-calls) comedy. 


Tamil film culture of having hero's friend getting into trouble all the time with hero escaping is re-written. The guest appearance of Jeeva, and Shakila could be avoided, but as our hero says "idhalam jagajam".


With maximum possible importance to people other than the hero, wonderful comedy sequences and justice to heroine's salary this film is a guaranteed family entertainer.


A lot of worthy movies had vanished into commercial cloud hope this one escapes the Endhiran mania. 

Thillalangadi

Cast: Jeyam Ravi, Tamanna, Shyam, Vadivelu, Santhanam, Prabhu and many

Director: Raja
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Genre:Commercial entertainer

Raja is back with his brother for a new Telugu remake ('Kick' to 'Thillalangadi'). This time Ravi is given a chance for a pure commercial film which is completely different from his previous movies.

In the movie, Jeyam Ravi breaks up with Tammanah, who expects him to be responsible and truthful, which is like stopping a train with left hand for Krishna (Jeyam Ravi). Our soft and calm Shyam dons a completely different role as a sincere and successful police officer, who is on a mission to catch a thief in town (Chennai) The thief not different from any of the thieves in South Indian cinema does theft intelligently and escapes without much useful clues.

Tammanah and Shyam are about to get married and its thier first meeting. They speak about their lives, likes and dislikes (this is where Ravi pops in) in a metro train of Malaysia (a brand new country as location in Tamil Cinema). The reason for Tamil police Shyam in Malaysia is for catching 'The Intelligent Thief' and Tammanah is here to meet her probably 'to be', would be (Shyam).

The further progress of the film depends on Shyam's mission to catch the thief, and instability of Tamannah to marry Shyam by the unexpected presence Ravi.

The age old triangular love customs is avoided as much as possible in the film. Though being an action comedy, heroism is at the least. With less fight scenes (only two) and much importance in comedy adds credit to Thillangadi.

To know the further building up and see Santhanam (A memory loss patient who assumes himself a Doc) and Vadivel (Jackie, a family man in search of love) at their work grab a ticket and watch the movie.

A can watch for NON Tammanah, Jeyam Ravi hardcore fans.
For the others: Machan Padam Gethu da paarthey aaganum.
