Movie Magic

Of late been bowled over by some wonderful movies that has captured my attention for exemplary screenplay and characterisation .

1. Naadodhigal : Tamil movie ,of rustic tamil belt friendship story interwoven with earthy charm and benevolence; the characters have been built with acute sincerity. Watch this movie for an entertaining dose of friendship and love. The star cast is more of real theater purists who have played the roles with conviction.Salute the director for master class story telling, in the league of yesteryear bimal roy/ satyajit ray or Balachandar

2.Aadukalam : Dhanush at his best...worthy successor to his father in law-Rajanikanth.
What a portrayal of the age old tradition of cock fighting village underbelly.The whole movie has a WOW factor for real life scenarios of friendship, hate and ego clashes and the rustic village romance.
Watch this movie for Dhanush, innocent simpleton portrayed to perfection.The songs are stupendofantabulous..tch tch(national award is a foregone climax to this movie)

3. Arundati(in telugu) : Watch this movie for Anushka shetty and Sonu Sood . An exemplary story on re-incarnation ,spine chilling performance from the lead actors. For once no Hero is required to cheer up the proceedings

4. And finally ,for fans of Christopher Nolan (English), watch this movie called "The Prestige".Magicians cannot be looked the way they are...after you see this movie. Transported into the magic world..you will be desperate to know the climax, which is death defying ...

So this is my list for movie enthusiasts...

start.....camera.....action....
