ReviewFor fans of Vadivelu, including this reviewer, Naai Sekar Returns falls terribly short of all the fun it promised. Sadly, this entire review cannot be written with just Vadivelu’s most iconic punchlines.Bharathy SingaravelTrailerScreenGrab"Naam yaaruku enna theengu seidhom?” I muse, ten minutes into the much-awaited Naai Sekar Returns. The title makes a call back to Vadivelu’s character in Thalai Nagaram (2006) in which he plays a laughably over-the-top rowdy called Naai Sekar. I wish I could write this review for ‘Vaigai Puyal’ Vadivelu’s return to the big screen entirely in his own iconic dialogues. The line from Imsai Arasan 23 Pulikesi (2006), the actor’s historical satire, remains a meme-favourite as much as the film continues to hold on to its legendary status. But that dialogue also has a life and emotion of its own. Every Tamil who has grown up on Vadivelu’s comedy understands the wry pity...

Director Ajay Gnanamuthu’s ‘Cobra’ is an intense but lengthy action entertainer that manages to impress you in parts.
The first half of the film is more of an action entertainer while the next half has equal doses of action, drama and family sentiment to offer.
The story begins with Rishi (Roshan Mathew) a ruthless business tycoon who fears no one, having a stand off with the Chief Minister of a state. Drunk on the power his business empire provides him, he orders the assassination of the Chief Minister who was looking to thwart his plans of business expansion.
Rishi’s most potent weapon is a person nicknamed the Cobra (Vikram), a brilliant mathematician whose identity even Rishi does not know.
Rishi’s instructions are communicated to the Cobra, whose real name we get to know is Mathi, through a journalist (K. S. Ravikumar) and they are carried out with precision every single time.

To this, Suriya said that he is not interested in politics and his social work would continue through his trust, Agharam Foundation, which helps socially and economically backward children pursue higher studies. Coming back to his upcoming film release, Thaana Serntha Kootam, which has been directed by Vignesh Shivan, the star said that it was a pleasure to share the screen space with great artistes such as Karthik and Ranya Krishnan.

Anirudh has composed music for this heist comedy with Dinesh Krishnan cranking the camera and A Sreekar Prasad editing it.
