Theri (2016)
Theri Movie Average
One of the biggest worries of Theri is its slow and predictable screenplay.
While the first half is on the average side, the latter half is almost too slow to believe.
Packed with emotional scenes, Theri suffers from some poor writing by the Raja Rani director.
Only Plus: Nainika's performance is another highlight of Theri. The cute little girl's propinquity with her father, played by Vijay, is the soul of this action entertainer.
Overall View: Getting inspired is absolutely understandable. But, depending on the inspiration in order to sell your own product is a matter of grave concern. With a tried and tested storyline and an ordinary screenplay Theri is far from what was expected.
Yennai Arindhaal (2015)
It's Gautham's movie with Ajith adding colour admirably
Movie is good. Screenplay is racy and pacy. Specially second half is more enjoyable. As usual Tamil movie, no logic and story but the performance of all stars is solid. Specially Ajith and Arun.V is really very good. Ajith did his best. There are some similarities in scenes with GVM previous movies. But over all enjoyable movie.
Ajith Kumar seems to have put his heart and soul into the role of Sathyadev, a character that goes through several physical transitions through the course of narrative, from being a fit young cop to a demoralised middle-aged man to a person who finds his way back to doing what comes naturally. He stands out in the sequence where he is faced with the urge to go back to cracking crime but is inhibited by his fears of consequences. He does make the return when his daughter fetches him the police boots.
The biggest gainer of Yennai Arindhaal could be Arun Vijay, an actor with potential who seems to have gotten lost in all the noise in the Tamil film industry.
