7/G Rainbow Colony

There have been many movies more greater than this one, and i too have seen most of them. But this is one of the very very very very few ones that i can never forget in my life.

I am not connected to this movie in any means. But the fact that this movie reflects the larger part of the teens(BOYS) in tamil nadu (or even India), is the magic binding that pulls the audiences and stays in their heart as long as they remember their teenage life. I watched this movie on my first semester of my college. In fact this is the first of the many movies that i watched bunking college. I not a gud guy, neither as bad as the hero of this movie. But i like to stay away from the typical rich, western minded, fashion freakish, academic geeks and guys who even think speakin in their mother tongue is low class. But i did my BE in one of the top ten premier engineering institutes in India(CEG). But me and my gang are not bookies. We loved this movie so much right from the first time we saw it.

The hero is simply the best and the worst character of the movie. His portrayal as the one who leads his life as he wants, with no rules, not caring anything but himself, with loyal friends, sincere & middle class family is nothing strange to our country lads( well!! most of them, including me). But that is all that is known to the society.

But what this movie tells extra is the daring punch line, but very much a needed one to our lads. The hero is worse than the average teen. He crossed the danger line and became nothing but a load of useless crap in the society. Then he sees the elixir of his life. A young girl of course!!!

what happens rest is one of the most extra ordinary story ever made, between a completely opposite boy and a girl, against all the odds, against all the rules of love,life and success. It will make even the most purest,brainiest, ingenious,bookish boy out there, to want to have a life like the hero of the story.

In a line, this movie if out of the book, totally against the rules, made for the ones who haven't tasted success, to triumph in life. And a knock out blow to the ones who think only their way succeeds.

Its justifies in every sense, the phrase - "Transformation of a boy to a man". And who better to do that than a woman. To put in another way, this movie is the story of a boy(bad one) who gets the treatment of a stray dog in the society to the successful man ,who every one silently admires in their life with all the respect.

"When u have a woman behind your life, that life is sure gonna rock. And u r the king of it." - This movie tells u that.

But, not just that. "Life is not that easy, we have to fight & win every challenge that it wants us to face". Its here the climax comes. A tragedy that will break all hearts, right at the moment where no one wanted. But thats life!!!!!!!

All in all!! This movie is a must see for every boy out there, to understand what life actually is, and to conquer it. I can never forget this movie coz, like many out there, i feel this movie is made for me!!

10/10. U will be disturbed after coming out from the movie.

Fullfilled with hardwork of cast ,set workers ,direction ,editing ,music, And the story plot .

what a great movie.. i think its amongst the ranks of Kaadhal.

I'll admit i was revolted by Ravi Krishna but he proved to be a good actor!

He grew on me... i'm sure you've read the review before so i won't bother much on that.. just a short summary:vagabond guy falls in love with girl, she turns him into a good guy and though she professes to have no feelings for him, she slowly falls for him.

now reading that you might think OK another routine routine love story.. big mistake!

the gradual progression of each character is anything but smooth. The edges are always sharp..you never see an outright change in Ravi nor Anita(Sonia). Its not a rose colored, glossy portrait of real life. Its real life in all its raw jolting emotion. I mean she relents ultimately, but she doesn't do it as to compromise her behavior. Its not a sudden illogical character change...one moment being disgusted and irritated to next moment being loving and caring and attentive.

Ravi Krishna's character is always like a ruffian and i think this key aspect of the movie gives it its credibility. In the end we have insight as to how good of a character Ravi Krishna really is and how much love he has for Anita.

The thing i like most about this movie is that you walk away with some feeling of satisfaction.

There were some really funny scenes...as well as some tense ones and obviously this was a controversial movie.

Sri Raghava has to be commended for pushing the envelope in such a right wing country as ours..and i'm surprised that he came out without having any of the theaters being burnt down! I recommend this movie whole heartedly if you are tired of watching mindless cr*p..and want 2 watch something heart rendering.

The story goes like this. Ravi Krishna, the elder son of Vijayan is an irresponsible youth, who bunks classes, fails in his exams, go behind girls and freaks out with his friends. Upon ridiculed by his father, he picks up a fight with him. At this moment enters Sonia Agrawal. Her family (a North-Indian one) takes up the flat 7G in the Rainbow Colony. As usual Ravikrishna like any other youngster in the area tries to impress her. He repeatedly goes behind her and cuts her name on his hand and tries to impress her with greeting cards and letters. But everything is futile.

He develops an inferiority complex and goes into a shell. Upon realizing his sorry fate, Sonia steps in to solve all his problems. She motivates him to come up in life and helps him find a job. The latter half is all about Sonia Agrawal falling in love with Ravi Krishna and her efforts to hold his hands in support. However, a series of events in their lives finally separate them and that makes the heroine to take a momentous decision in her life.

Debutant Ravi Krishna, son of producer A M Ratnam, plays the hero. He fits the next-door boy image very well and considering that it is his debut film, he needs a special pat for his performance.

Be it flirting behind the girls, antagonizing his father for chiding him, acting smart to impress the girl next door or getting mentally depressed at his lover's death, this young lad has come up trumps.

Not far behind is Sonia Agrawal. Though her character seems to be an improvisation of her role in Kadhal Kondein, she does it with ease. Especially towards the climax when she decides to share the bed with her lover, she has given her best on screen. She is indeed a screen-stealer in the movie.

Verdict: Wonderful Wonderful!! 2 Thumbs Up! Beautiful directorial venture by Selvaraghavan, excellent sequences based on a true story starring a new hero and Sonia Aggarwal.

What's New: Real Life story really moves the audience. We get to feel the pain that must have been experienced by the director in his real life that has been portrayed really well on the reels. Hero is a real loser.. the way his talent is brought out and fear is extinguished is really notable.

Saw it on: Antony, Fun Asia Theaters, Dallas

Noticeable: Daring Bedroom sequence by Sonia, really natural performance in all scenes. Much improved performance by Sonia, excellent music. Stereotyped hero by Selvaraghavan? Also, Sonia is so great because she plays a north Indian girl in Tamilnadu. Really natural performances.
