Danush is to remake yesteryear's box office hit Agni Nakshathram. The production initiatives are through and he is doing one of the roles. As the original had Prabhu vs Karthik, Danush wants a person to opposite him.
For a surprise, there was a voluntary announcement from Simbhu accepting to do the role of either Karthik or Prabhu.
Danush doubts that, without any negative intention, Simbhu will not offer himself to do the role in a movie he is making, that too voluntarily. Literally for every action of Simbhu, Danush seems to be scarred.
Can Simbhu's words believed : Dhanush
Pattabi on a roll for replacing Vadivelu and Vivek
Everyone in Kollywood dream about becoming either hero or heroine. Most of the directors of these days are acting as hero, while dance masters have already tried their luck. Even stunt masters are testing the waters, e.g.. Kananl Kannan - he is doing two movies now!!!
Comedians, who were once considered as pickles and sauce for the movie are in lead roles now.
As busy comedians like Vadivelu and Vivek are concentrating more on lead roles, new comers and people who were not able to shine because of these V&V are enjoying the gap.
Pattabi, who was busy in small screen is now very busy in silver screen. The guy Sandhanam who kills all of us in the name of comedy is also very busy.
Thotta Review
The film centers on Shanmugam (Jeevan), who suffers a lot in his early days, as his mother dies getting abandoned by her husband. With no one to support his basic needs, a police officers comes to aid adopting him and sooner Shanmugham aka Thotta turns into a gangster and cunning blackmailer.
A serious task binds him together with Nalina (Priyamani) when Thota is urged to acid on her. But Nalina happens to be a good-doer in Shanmugham's life as she had helped him with money to conduct his mother's funeral rites. In contrary, Thotta gets more attached with Nalina who has a great ambition of becoming a police officer. On the attempts of fulfilling Nalina's dreams, he takes up the task of gunning down an union minister in return for a job for Nalina.
But it's a complicated situation for Shanmugham, when the police commissioner who raised him demands to have intercourse with Nalina.
Well, what happens next narrated in predictable manner forms crux of the story…
An innocent man turning into a gangster never seems to be fade in Tamil cinema and along the same queue comes Thotta, a movie you will hate all the time. Well, expectations were more as duo Director Selvah-Jeevan had rocked with yesteryear super hit movie Naan Avanillai. But the same duo have failed to make up for the expectations among the audiences.
A same old tale of an abandoned youngster turning into a gangster and a girl changing his entire course of life is all Thotta about. Poorly drafted screenplay, vague characters and an annoying direction would be main the limelight of the movie. Each and every serious, emotional and action sequences from director's perspective turns out to be an annoying comedy.
Seems like Director Selvah never came to the shooting spots demanding for any perfection from the actors and if you would like to confirm this, kindly watch this movie at your own risk.
Like in his previous films like Kaakha Kaakha and Naan Avanillai, Jeevan does a good job in getting spotted with an action-packed role, but it's a great disappointment his performance in romance part. He is not seen passionate while romancing with his ladylove.
The most annoying part of the movie is the role of baddies played by Mayilsamy, Livingston and Santhanabharathy. Especially, Mayilsaamy irritates a lot with his comedy tracks that doesn't make you laugh.
Priyamani does justice to her performance, but her role isn't convincing and it raises a big question, why she accepts such kind of roles?
Nothing to appreciate about technicians and Srikanth Deva isn't able to analyze the tastes of audiences: His musical score doesn't enhance the feel. The same goes with cinematography and editing.
As a whole, Thotta is a movie that you can watch, if you don't any worthy thing to do.
