Madrasapattinam

Well shot period piece with good acting and wonderful set pieces, worth a watch.

Fabulous Love Movie Of All Time A Must Watch Flim To Everyone Atleast Once In Our Lifetime a Finest Love Flim Of The Century.

Madrasapattinam is the good product of director Vijay. The director along with the art director & CG ppl has done a great work on recreating old madras which does not feel odd in any scene in the movie..

period movies are very rare in Tamil movie industry. The director & the producer has got the guts to take up a period movie genre to show the love story. yes..though the movie is set in pre-independence era, this has got nothing to do with the independence & freedom fights..its a pure love story..

Arya is at his best..U can believe that he is a wrestler in this movie..no six-packs syndrome.. :) he is good at delivering subtle comedy also..Heroine Amy emotes well in the screen..she looks gorgeous and suits her role good..

the next best thing in the movie is casting..Nasser, bala singh, MS baskar, Jeeva, Balaji and last but best haneefa..everybody done their part well..

This movie is more of a musical flick than love..Composer GV has done a great job in songs and RR..One can feel that this movie lacks dialogue and RR fills it most of the time..

Its a great meal to Nirav shah, the cinematographer of this movie..he has already proved himself with his great work in the movies like Sarvam, Oram po etc..He has done a fantastic job throughout the movie..

The art direction plays a major role in the movie..Madrasapattinam is not a fantasy..one could not cheat the audience by showing some imaginary places...every old place in chennai has got proof..and the art dept did not cheat us.. :) This is the only movie in which the audience were still at theater for the end credits..thanks to the old-new madras fotos..

Verdict : Good , big & rich attempt by Vijay..and a must watch movie..

I have watched it 4 times in the last week, and I still feel to watch it again. I don't know why! Lovely Amy, Bold acting of Arya, talented direction of Vijay, amazing background sounds, all the well-played supporting roles- which is the main point to mention in particular?!

A great Love tragedy, 1945! If a person having a bit of love in his heart, he must feel how tragic the full love story is! Love, fight for love, fight, fight, fight, and then finally a bold sacrifice for the sake of love! It's always meant to be ended with some tears in your eyes, may be a burst if you are alone!

However, Amy Jackson did exceptionally well throughout the movie. I am amazed not only with her beauty but also with her acting. But, to be honest, I must say, what a pretty Lady she is!

Arya as the lead actor played so well that you will easily realize it. All the supporting casts did very very well I bet. In short, this is a superb movie based on a touchy love story. I loved it.

I went to this movie with absolutely no expectations, Arya isn't that big an actor,The director hasn't made any exceptional movies, and so on.

But the movie was really good.It showed a great deal of teamwork and effort, and more importantly it was all well used and portrayed.

Chennai portrayed to the best as in the year 1947. The heroine - Amy Jackson is beautiful and has done a really wonderful job.Her eyes show lots of experience, for a girl of her age.

The story line is similar to that of Lagaan, and many scenes remind you of both lagaan and Rang de basanti, yet the movie has its own originality and inspiration.

Arya isn't portrayed as a hero who fights for freedom,he is portrayed as one who fights for Love.

Editing was awesome, Direction was good. The only negative point of the movie is the songs and BGM. songs don't get in sync with the movie too well. BGM isn't much original and doesn't give the full effect at various scenes.

Still overall the movie is watchable. The reason i rated it 8 was because of the good acting, direction,screenplay,no unwanted comedy or action or songs, and mainly because there was some originality/reality in showing a historic adventure.( something that Ayirathil oruvan lacked ).

The movie may seem a bit lengthy, but don't worry cause it wont bore you out.

Overall - Good movie( don't miss it)
