Samar

So basically everyone who thought this was a Good movie idea should be strip naked and lynched till he gains some light in his copycat mind. They copied from every cheesy Korean movie. However this movie deserves at least 10 Oscar's for being the first movie that made money from selling cra@#p. Vishal should have stayed away from movies like this so he won't be remembered as a fool to act like a fool by some idiots copy pasted story .they even tried to explain people incase no one understood the garbage they made. Shameful

Vishal's recent films haven't had a great run and he is under pressure to reinvent himself and work his way back into the reckoning.

He probably put faith in Thiru of 'Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai'-fame to pull himself out of the rut and has probably got himself on the road to redemption with Samar.

Samar is on similar lines but there is a difference too. It is not only an action-oriented one but also one with the suspense element attached to it, which makes it a good watch, incidentally.

Vishal, known for his fast-paced stunt scenes, is seen doing it in Sama' too but the director managing to hold the audience's interest with twists and turns is the USP of the film. Trisha, looks pretty and does what is expected of her while Sunaina has nothing much to do.

The story goes like this: Sakthi (Vishal) is a happy-go-lucky young man, who enjoys trekking and guides people around in Ooty and on occasions tries to stop those involved in smuggling of sandalwood in the woods. The initial scenes show him break up with Rupa (Sunaina), who thinks he isn't 'fit enough to love girls.' Even as he continues to think as to what could have been with regard to his love life, there is a surprise in store. He gets a letter from his 'fiancee', who is in Bangkok, asking him to join her.

At the airport, he meets Trisha and they develop a rather good friendship. However on landing in Thailand, things don't go as per plans. His 'fiancee' never turns up and he meets a Tamil-speaking police officer (Sampath) who helps him. Then comes the big turnaround, he is mistaken for a business tycoon of the same name and looks and finds himself a confused man as there is even an attempt to finish him off.

To his credit, Vishal has essayed his role pretty well and gets it right in scenes when he is caught in a fix after being made to run pillar-to-post as he battles to shrug off the identity issue.

Trisha has a meaty role while Jayaprakash is impressive as the Embassy official while the baddies (Manoj Bajpai and J D Chakravarthy) could have had a more profound impact given their stature.

Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs don't rise above the ordinary while the background score by Dharan matches the mood of the movie - that of intrigue and is one of the highlights of Samar.

Thiru needs a pat for his handling of the story and script and should feel happy that he has come up with fast-paced film that will suit Vishal's image. On the flip side, the film is dragging in parts, and also the scenes sound familiar.

Samar - Game of fate

I started watching this movie after a lot of hesitation but no regrets - for the most part.

The initial pace is a little slow until Vishal reaches Bangkok in search of his (ex) girl-friend. Soon after he gets attacked by what appears to be a mob-hit but gets rescued by another group. He is made to believe that he is a multi-millionaire which leaves him in a very confused state. A couple of days later he suddenly loses his multi-millionaire status. Along the way he meets Trisha and they fall in love.

The story begins to unfold and it turns out the whole thing is a setup. A reality show staged by 2 people (who have nothing else to do in life!!) The rest of the movie is all about how Vishal deals with all the confusion around him.

The overall concept and story is quite new to Tamil cinema & I enjoyed it.

Here is what I didn't like (enjoy):

1. Over the top acting by JD Chakravarthy & Manoj Bajpai 2. Too much explaining of the story (please learn from Steven Soderbergh in the Oceans 11/12/13 series) 3. The ending turned out to be a bit short-lived. Would've been better if the background story of the bad guys was incorporated into the climax. 4. What was the need to have a fight sequence between JD/Manoj & Vishal?

Overall - worth a one time watch.

I have watched worst movies but this one,top it all!Worst movies ever! OMG!Worst movie ever!Cant believe they make these kind of movies even today 2013! Audience reactions were like what the crap??Crappy YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA ripped OFF Red Hot Chili Peppers -Can't Stop music every time VISHAL makes an entry! Poor Sunaina had nothing to do with the entire movie except Say I LOVE YOU-WE WILL BREAK UP-I MOVED ON!!Crappy love story-Usual INTRO With FIGHT sequence that has no purpose-Followed by 4 min SONG to answer a question(Who are you?).

I will not suggest anyone to watch it, even on TV not even to my worst enemy!For God sake!Pls stop making Crappy movies!Message to this movie director if you are out there WATCHING this comment-FIRST PADAM EPPADI DUKURATHUNU KATHU KOO!
