Arrambam (2013)

Absolutely amazing

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The Movie starts off with a different note and showcases Ajith in a different light. Audience are left to judge Ajith's character and by the time we are able to notice the first half passes by a whiz. Only the starting music number is a dampener when speaking of first half. Second half start for an interesting juncture and thus the problem starts. To compensate the reason in first half a hint of sentiment are needed and this slows down the pace of the movie. Adding to it couple of songs again hits the movement of screenplay. The movie again picks up pace during the end and finishes with a different climax.Over all its a good movie to watch and director could have done a bit more in the second half.

Arrambam, directed by Vishnuvardhan, has a lot going for it and has it satiated the appetite of countless Ajith fanatics? Right from frame one, it is clear that Ashok Kumar (Ajith) is a man on a mission and one who is hell bent on exposing the people behind an ugly scam and bringing them to book. He has his comrades who will go to any lengths for him and help him in his operation.Director Vishnuvardhan, writer duo Subha and editor Sreekar Prasad have to be commended for managing to keep the audiences hooked to their seats for a majority of the movie with very few drag moments. With a running time of more than two and a half hours, the screenplay is taut and crisp enough to keep the crowd arrested.The large mass of Ajith fans have plenty of moments to scream and whistle in delight. Ajith's screen presence is mighty as ever, and his classy salt and pepper looks and V neck T shirts suit his character's mean streak. The star's prowess at stunts and his knack of taking risks for the stunt scenes is all too well-known and when he dives out of a van onto an approaching car and zooms around in a Ducati, the entire crowd rises in unison to clap. Even some of Ajith's subtle gestures, his gait and his typical shades delight his fans.Cant simply say it through the words, Plz do watch it. Worth Watching. will be good entertainment. Thala always Rockzzz.

When a series of blasts rocks Mumbai, the police go on a witch hunt to capture the accused but little do they who is against them or what his plans are. AK (Ajith) lays a web trapping Maya (nayanthara), Arjun (Arya) and Anita (Taapsee) in the due process. But what he has planned for them forms the rest of the story. Ajith kumar as AK shines through out with his slow motion walking, careful planning and of course goes guns blazing when weeds pop out. Arya has played a faithful sidekick to Ajith's plan and occasionally tickles the funny bone. Nayanthara's oomph factor has been meticulously blended with the movie's overall glam. Taapsee seems totally out of place and lacks character depth. The rest of cast except for Kishore fail to catch the eye.The screenplay starts well except for Arya's "winged" flashback which is a total drag to an otherwise brilliant first half. Second half spells calamity to both AK and the screenplay. Before the credits roll AK kills more than Uma thurman in "Kill Bill". But there are some references to real life places like "Nariman house" though the team claims that this is a work of fiction. Well, we believe you.Cinematography blends well with the pace and the cameraman has done a good job surviving between the many bullets. Songs are a let down (Ajith fans in my screening felt otherwise, but it's understandable) and play havoc to the screenplay's pace. Action choreography should have made more, for a lack of a better word, realistic.The second half of the second half lets you down and you will want the movie to end as soon as possible. For reasons, read the preceding paragraph.PS: Steady start, shaky finish.

Aarambam- A Classy Entertainer with a Racy Script. With a star studded cast and top technicians the expectations were sky high. Firstly, Ajith' terrific screen presence and powerful dialogue delivery, A huge plus.Vishnuvardhan and his writers have worked out a decent screenplay which keeps the audiences hooked,mostly. On the flip-side, Yuvan's BGM a major disappointment. Once the story gets into Revenge Mode, it becomes very PREDICTABLE (this one reason why thumbs down from me) and the viewers get a Tad edgy..The Sequence which happens in Dubai are the Best part of the movie.Personally, this flick would not disappoint an average movie go-er, but if you are a FAN of a Star (Ajith),you might feel a bit disappointed. Nevertheless watch it with family and friends( A Clean movie). Aarambam- King of Opening is Back. But will he sustain?? Only Time will tell.
