#AArambham _ My ReviewRisky Shots, Impulsive Action and Salt n' Pepper looks, Thala is back in a power packed role.Aarambham was undoubtedly the most awaited Tamil movie of the year. The hype factor was nothing but Thala. The additional star cast of Aarya, Nayanz and VishnuVardhan in the director's slot increased the hype of the film. Happy to see a Thala film on large screenThe film opens in Mumbai, where Thala is seen implanting bombs in three important centres of the city. The bomb blasts create a great havoc in the city, meanwhile, Arjun(Aarya), an expertise in computer hacking meets his college mate Maya (Nayanthara) in an airport, on his way to Mumbai. On racing Mumbai, Maya is kidnapped by Ashok(Ajith) and Arjun is blackmailed by him to hack certain systems. The reason behind Ashok hacking the networks, forms the crux of the filmThe story of the film is just mediocre. The first half, which started slowly with the love of Arjun etc, caught its pace in no time and managed to keep the viewer in excitement. The villainous behavior of Thala added an extra flavor of thrill in the first half. That fatty avatar of Arya too was interesting. The pre interval and interval action sequences were of top notch. Those bomb blasting scenes in the start offered a realistic feel.The interval block makes the viewer stick to the seat. But the second half didn't had the pace of the first half. The same, repeated revenge drama, same old wine, but the interesting thing is that, Vishnuvardhan offered the old wine in a much refreshing and stylish manner, through the hands of an energetic Ajith. The bullet proof jacket spam etc seemed to be novel. The 2nd half too caught its pace towards the climax and ended up with an action packed episode of gun firing and a small message.VishnuVardhan "made it simple" by concentrating more on style and action, offering less to the content. A better reason in the second half would have made Aarambham great. The film also throws light on the affected system and corrupt leaders of our country. But the fact is that, the same thing is seen in almost all films of these days. Through the character, Ramya Radhakrishnan, VV, takes a dig at the media and press, which slavishly serves certain corrupt leaders.Vishnu Vardhan's stylish and racy direction, makes Aarambham interesting.A better script could have done better. There are some mistakes, unanswered questions and flaws left behind,but considering the genre of the film, they can be avoided to certain extent#Thala Ajith's energetic screen presence, both as a handsome cop and rustic villain were excellent. Salt n' pepper style with mind blowing action sequences, Thala rocked.....he stands special. Simple presentation of a powerful role, only Thala can do it. Unexplainables are hard to explain, they are to be experienced, that is what Thala in Aarambham. ASHOK was a powerful character, but there wasn't any kind of exaggeration or over praising, which makes Aarambham different from usual top hero flicks.Aarya added fun quotient to the film. That fatty avatar was really a surprise. In the midst of racy sequences, some genuine wits by Arya makes us laugh.Nayanthara is really an eye candy. Was hot as usual, had nothing important to do.The rest of the cast including, Atul Kulkarni and Mahesh Malkejkar were fit to their roles. Kishore and RaNa were perfect in their brief roles....especially Kishore. Tapsee had nothing to do, except to utter the word, "baby", a hundred times.#Yuvan Shanker Raja, offered average songs, but the BGM scored high, with the mood of the film.Cinematography by Om Prakash is another highlight of the film. Best in the recent times.Other remarkable things are, high octane action sequences and qualitative VFX. Technically Brilliant. Editing was crisp. Some scenes could've been trimmed off.On the whole, AArambham is a racy action thriller, studded with all necessary elements,except for some flaws in the second half.If I compare this with the action flicks of the recent times, I will say that, Aarambham is Brilliant. Better than the movies of other top guns released this year.My rating: 3.75/5 Tok....Tok....Tok Thankyou for reading ma review.... Yours truly Sooraj

Watched Aarambam aka Thala 53 (referred title still post production). Aarambam comes a Diwali treat for Ajith fans. It is a usual revenge story that's been going in Tamil cinema for decades. But the fact is it is stylishly presented by the director Vishnuvardhan with his own favorite team of actors. The story is loosely woven around revenge, corruption, terrorism, betrayal, sentiments, Politics and holes in Police department. If we link up all we get is the story which is no way new to us but definitely the director has tried to keep the fast pace throughout the movie though it has got drag moments in the second half. The first half was racy and engaging definitely. Coming to the performances obliviously with no doubt that this is a "Thala"mass movie, so Ajith kumar as Ashok kumar becomes the show stealer has done it very well. No doubt he looked enthusiastic and stylish with his salt and pepper but it was not maintained even throughout the movie sometimes he was looking fat and sometimes muscular. Nayanthara second movie after her come back has given us a power packed performance as Ajith's accomplice with her usual billa type glam sham rendition. Aarya as a jolly out of college hacker has shown us his humor shade throughout the movie which indeed keeps us entertaining. Tapsee looks cute was helpful in keeping the humor line engaged with Aarya as baby- baby lover. Apart from this we have so many support actors Atul gulkarni, Kishore, Rana Dugabatti everyone has done justice to their roles. Technically the story didn't have any creativeness and cannot be compared to Billa or Mankatha. The fact is Ajith playing anti hero role throughout all these franchise movies. Music was so average the songs were place badly didn't help the movie. Cinematography was done well. Verdict: Overall it comes as a stylish but usual revenge tale with lots of charisma and definitely keeps you engaged apart from its drags and logic holes on the second half. No doubt it was above Billa 2 but below Mankatha and Billa 1. Worth watch once and for core Ajith fans they get more than what they expected.-Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran ([email protected])

CASTARRAMBAM a blockbuster script with mass crowd puller Thala,attractive Arya.I think Vishnuvardhan made this movie in full cool with confident and made this movie a big Blockbuster . Garenty that a big action sorry stylish Action of Ajith,Fun of Arya,rude action of Nayanthara,Attractive Tapsee and om Prakash cinematography capturing perfectly every thing.STORYThe story star starts with Thala bombing various building in Mumbai city who comes out like a terrorist then it is carried out by Arya who is a Hacker.college comedy of Arya as a Fat boy worked out. Ultimate makes Arya to do his jobs in a gun point. unsatisfied Arya traps Ajith to Mumbai police are the first half with good flow.Then stars the second half which decides the ARRAMBAM as a blockbuster WATCH OUTThere are plenty of Scene which makes us to go for the movie for second time.The opening of Thala was normal,the notable thing is Thala dance in first song where a man with these many operation,accident had made it with full energy(great).Thala boat ride "can any hero in Tolly,Bolly even Holly"repeat it today even young Sixpacked hero's says i cant risk my life for a bike ride with rope all over their body you may say Thala is a race so he may do it then u must be accepting the fact that "he is a fearless mass hero".In one scene When the Ducati bike was shown the whole crowd went up but it was a normal ride like other hero's even though the whole crowd went up till the end only because it is Thala.Director loved Thala Soo Soo mush he brought every thing out of him but with 4 to 5 risk scene which was "Marana Mass" I thought how could Thala do it "Thala has every thing money good wife and family" but takes a risk shot does every thing for fans but do not want to have a fan followers.What is this Thala? Every day fans will be increasing for u Thala But we doesn't want you to risk too mush.Cinema Psychos Not only because of Thala the story made with every other character is also engaging. Tapsee was top in acting.There was more Editing mistakes and even the rerecording in some scenes were too bad.For those who want to learn from movie you can learn how to engage the crowds and the beautiful CG work in song and in action scene.Other than that this is a normal Blockbuster movie which comes out every year for nearly a Decade which has no formula why it is Hit.You would be the only persons in theater thinking that am i sitting in a Blockbuster movie.This movie is only for Public ARRAMBAM is a movie which cannot be stopped from its Blockbuster.But it is not the new beginning For THALA,Vishnuvardhan or TAMIL CINEMA.

Awesome film with more stylish..... dubai scenes amazing.... every stunts are original, this makes the film massive hit of this year.... handsome thala made a new record in tamil cinema .... must to watch this movie :-) story line : 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.Arya is energetic and spunky as ever and has done his part well. Watch out for a little part where Arya will throw you off your seats with his appearance. His light-hearted comments at apt moments bring about a few chuckles. Taapsee is referred to as the 'drama queen' and she is sure to make a few hearts melt as the girly journalist. Nayanthara puts on a fiery face when required and also showcases her oomph and style in many scenes. This superstar continues to shine. Kishore as the honest cop is earnest as ever while Mahesh Manjrekar's histrionics are a welcome introduction to Tamil audiences.Rana's portion in the second half is a highlight and there is one arresting sequence featuring him and Ajith, which is sure to grip the audiences. Great work on this segment particularly.Among the movie's few slack moments include the 'Stylish Thamizhachi' number featuring Akshara Gowda. The 'Adada Arrambame' number, though a crowd pleaser and flamboyantly picturized, stands out a bit sorely at the start. 'Melala Vedikkudhu' takes the cake as the best song sequence and it's a riot of colours and revelry as the actors dance merrily for Holi. 'Hare Rama' isn't to be seen in the movie. Arya and Taapsee feature in 'En Fuse Pochu' and few nice effects embellish the song.Yuvan's work on the BGM doesn't demand your attention as much as it did in Mankatha and Billa. But still, he has added enough muscle to the tension and action in the movie with his score. Om Prakash's work on the camera befits the movie's stature as a slick and glossy commercial action entertainer.The stunt choreographers, Jegan, Kecha and Lee Whittaker, take the credit for the numerous action set pieces and it is slam bam all the way. The climax sequence and the boat chase are racy.Being a commercial movie, you have to suspend disbelief and not look for too much logic and reasoning. There are a few sudden jumps in the movie's flow and its better not to question them too much, and just enjoy the bond type commercial offering from Ajith.
