'Blue sky opening to Yuvan's magic'
May 05, 2008 08:51 PM 2543 Views

' Mounam Pesiyathe starts with the backdrop of a blue sky and Yuvan's Honey dripping nostalgic romantic innocent background music[i dont know how yuvan got this music.absolutely stunning].


Then camera pans to the ground there we ll see one person's feets and he s running to escape from some gundas.He is the second hero of the movie.i forgot his name.He running into a restaraunt where the hero walks casually through ther left side of the frame.It was really surprising.In tamil films they use to intro heroes by using wind[created by that big fan], fire.and all.but here he casually walks through  the left end of the frame.and that hero doesnt beleive in love.i mean'gimmical love'.and he is a stubborn character who never mind any girl and he is not at all interested in the silly things like'dating'.he believes in true love.i forgot his name too.something like jee.oh.sorry I forgot.Surya has done that role.He s running a good beach side restaraunt, well settled and he's from a good upper middleclass family too.


Trisha enter in the film as the second hero's cousin.and she is supposed to marry this second hero.but she doesnt want to marry him.She is love with someone.Director makes audience that She loves Surya, our hero.and Film rocks, to be honest rocks all the way and its pace is dead fast and full of good humour.and that real stunning point.where my favourite song comes.Trisha invites Surya to a chat room of a Big star Hotel.He goes there to meet her.Oh .i forgot to tell that interval punch.It's when Trisha Says."I wana love someone like special.Someone like you'.then camera passes to surya's brown eyes and yuvan again rocks with the same theme music of this beautiful film.After seeing that interval I realised that Tamil cinema got a very promising new film maker.And to starter's attention.His name is Amir.Yes, the same amir who went to film'Raam' and'Paruthi veeran'.And back to that stunning moment we were talking about.Surya comes to the restaurant.And Trisha talks for a little time.and Surya blushes because he is a new person to Love.Then Trisha saying.'I told you kno, I wana love someone like you, here is the person'.A guy who is having beard comes and saying'Hi' to you.and she goes like'He is just like you.no interest in love and all.u know how I pushed.you have to tell this to my parents.they ll approve if you say because they believe you very much.- Surya didnt hearing her words.Yes Amir's brilliance.Sound of her voice becoming less as we feel what Surya feel.Surya suddenly saying that he has got an appointment and gotta go then itself.Trisha compels him to sit down he is not hearing her.and we are not hearing.A waiter crosses surya.The motion became Slow motion.Surya showing some action of confusion by hand and voice over coming from offscreen as what Surya thinks."First she Told me that she like me .and then called me many times.and said directly to my face that'I want to love someone like you.what is this.what's this.'.- He comes out of the restaurant and he stepping into a zone of Roads of fire, buring tyres, and dry light brown fields [ Director shows the then-status of his mind as this symbolic representation.and thats a song.my favourite one.'Kaathal ellam maayam.] .and it is really brilliant.You have to watch this movie just to watch this scene.It's brilliant.I was 19 years old when I watched this movie.I really loved this movie.Try this one otherwise you will miss something in yor life.I am now 25.I grew older.Movie is fresh still with its stunning theme music of Yuvan.Blue sky remains there.


Nobody other than surya can this do character this beautifully other than madhavan.And at times, i use to think even madhavan cant do this because director has made use of surya's introvert kind of face and maanerisms.and we cant see madhavan as an introvert.So surya was the perfect casting.And the beginning is the Blue sky.In that Blue sky we can see the titles.In fact that Blue sky is a Representation of the Protagonist's mind.Surya mind is damn fresh that it didnt have the slighest clouds of love or crush.and in that beautiful sky, In that beautiful mind, This movie starts with a beautiful, vibrant background theme.really brilliance man.this bgm theme is the first reason, i am reccomending this movie to you.You have to listen to that once in your life.Otherwise You are not fortunate to listen to the music of spring.


This one could be called as Yuvan's first outing in rock and techno kind of music.The most beautiful and rocking song of'mounam pesiyathe' album is'Chinna chinnathaay penne" sung by Hariharan and Yuvan, himself.It's my favourite song which starts from the scene I ve explained earlier.and the lyrics will evoke the right emotion which the protagonist  feel in that time.It's a intense song of a love failure.but the most interesting part is that it is not a sad song but a rocking song.and It clearly communicate the feel of the character.The song shot in Dry brown fields, Burning roads, Lonely beaches, abandoned factories, weather-worn boat-stations, in water, green fields.It starts with burning roads and dry fields and end up in water and green fields which symbolises the character's mental state.from an intense pain he is recovering and returning his calm self once again when he realizes the ultimate truth.as he percieves.A brilliant song.Brilliant song.


And this movie got so many difference.I already written the intro.and this Theme music plays continously through 2 different scenes.It was amazing .It will connect you to that beautiful world the director trying to portray.So he succed in that.He portrayed it exactly.and a lot of humour.Lot of humour of youth.It was really rocking.This movie again proves that Art will remain fresh even long after its creation.and this is not a tragedy and it gives you a stunning climax which is so sweet and positivw which you never expect.forgot to tell you that Ramji was the cinematographer and one of his best work except'Dum Dum Dum' and'Johnny"


My lovable reader, I recomment this movie over the other two movies amir made.You dont have to watch'Raam' or'Paruthi veeran".but'Mounam Pesiyathe is a must see movie".Now I am whistling its Brilliant background theme and I am finishing.May all of your love get cherished, Flourished and Blessed.

We


all know love is a strange thing. It hurts if someone loses in love


and hurts badly. When love springs up from nowhere, grows and before


you realize you are in love everything just vanishes. When there is


no time to react and realize that it was there and now its all lost,


it is even more terrible.


I


am just trying to count movies that has love as its theme. Well, if I


do that I guess I should be counting all my life time. But movies


that shows the effect of losing in love, especially the one-sided


(where only the guy or the girl falls in love) ones, are not rare but


relatively less. Generally, if a movie is good, you like it. If it is


fantastic you adore it. When it is fantastic and has situations where


you


have been in, it becomes close to your heart. Mounam Pesiyadhey('The


silence speaks', give


a 2 on 10 for my translating abilities)


is one such movie, which is close to my heart.


Surya


finishes college and owns a restaurant. He is a tough guy and someone


who hates flirting. He does not hate love, but only gets irritated to


see that true love is hardly there in the society. He doesn't blush


when girls come to him to ask address; is a misfit in a group when


girls are around; he doesn't have a pillion seat in his bike; he


takes a swipe at a newly wed couple doing public nuisance on road.


Such guys will definitely have few admirers. When he was in college,


there was a girl who was always after him. But being a guy he is, he


refuses to accept her love.


Usually


in any friends group there will be one guy who always dominates.


Amongst his friends circle Surya is that bold, short-tempered


dominating guy. His best friend Nanda is someone who introduces to


himself to virtually every girl he meets on street. While he does


that for fun, he also sincerely loves a girl. Surya and Nanda grow up


like brothers. Trisha is Nanda's aunt's daughter. Their parents


decide to get them married. Because Nanda loves another girl, Surya


goes to Trisha to tell that the marriage is not going to happen.


Trisha says that even she is not interested in this marriage and when


she says, “If I marry someone, it would be someone like you” it


all turns topsy-turvey for Surya. When love begins to grow in him for


Trisha, he finds out that she did mean what she said. She loved


someone like


him and not him.


When


you have lived all your life as if love getting into you is a


miracle, you have to remember this: Miracles do happen


The


movie is brilliant because of 4 people: Ameer for his direction;


Yuvan shankar raja for his music; Surya for his acting and Nanda for


his humour-mixed cameo. The movie has its own pace and style. There


are small twists to keep us interested. Surya, straight out from a


movie like'Nanda' where he plays an assassin, does fantastic job.


His expressions as a short-tempered guy and during the sudden


transformation into someone in love is fantastic. Nanda as a timid


guy in front of his father and his mischievous looks in an innocent


face provides plenty to laugh your heart out.


Yuvan's


beats along with the lines'Kadhal seidhaal pavam .'(To love is


sin), pumps enough punch and aggressiveness into the blood to beat


the timidness caused by love. Another song'Aadadha aatamellam .'


is a classic number from Yuvan. There are couple of good melodious


songs as well. Yuvan brilliantly supplements the theme of the movie


with his music.


There


are loads of memorable scenes and dialogues. One scene where Nanda


wants Surya to help his friend in love is hilarious. They all go into


the marriage hall to bring the bride who loves this guy(for whom


Nanda seeks help). Surya ends up advising the girl and convinces her


to stay with her parents. The guy curses Surya that he too would fall


in love and feel the pain of love.


From


the movie's song: “Indha paaraikkul pani paindhadhey .”(Dew


gets inside this Rock .)


This


is of course a commercial movie with a touch of poetic theme. But the


characters in the movie are real, situations are real and it comes in


a package where just enough melodrama is mixed for these to be


visible in a movie.


If you are a guy, there are many chances that this movie may get


closer to your heart as well. Many of my friends feel the same way


seeing this movie. A favorite movie in our friends gang. But even if


it is not that admirable, it is at least a good one time watch.


For


most part in the movie there are indications like Trisha loves Surya.


In the end, there is a surprise twist that it was not Trisha, but


Laila that girl who loved Surya in college. They lived happily ever


after . of course, movies are movies. It can only be close to


reality, but reality is different. A lot different.


From


the movie's song: “Kangal ulla varai kaadhal azhivadhillai .


pengal ulla varai aangal jeyippadhilai”


(Till


the time there are eyes, love does not get destroyed;


Till


the time there are women, men do not win)


2/10


for my translating abilities; 5/5 for the movie.


Smiles,


Envyram


EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!!!
Dec 29, 2006 09:44 PM 2023 Views

I WATCHED THIS MOVIE 4 YEARS AGO IN THEATRES.RECENTLY I WATCHED THE MOVIE IN A DVD.AND I STILL FIND IT REFRESHING AND PATH-BREAKING.


PLOT:


THE STORY IS ACTUALLY WAFER-THIN.GAUTHAM(SURIYA) IS A RESTAURANT OWNER,WHO HATES WOMEN(FOR REASONS UNKNOWN).HIS FRIEND,KANNAN(NANDHA) IS JUST THE OPPOSITE,WHO LIKES TO OGLE AT WOMEN.BUT HE IS SINCERELY IN LOVE WITH A GIRL,MAHA.TRISHA AND KANNAN'S FAMILY HAPPEN TO BE RELATIVES.THEY PLAN TO FIX A MARRIAGE FOR BOTH OF THEM.


MEANWHILE,GAUTHAM IS FOLLOWED BY A MYSTERIOUS LOVER,AND HE NEVER CARES TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS.KANNAN SEEKS THE HELP OF GAUTHAM TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEM.IN THE TURN OF EVENTS,GAUTHAM IS MADE TO BELIEVE THAT THE"MYSTERIOUS LOVER" IS NONE OTHER THAN TRISHA.WELL,LOVE IS SOMETHING WHICH COMES TO A MAN,WITHOUT EVEN HIS CONTROL.GAUTHAM STARTS EXPERIENCING THE FEELING OF LOVE.JUST WHEN HE WANTS TO PROPOSE HIS LOVE,HE GETS A RUDE SHOCK THAT TRISHA LOVES SOMEONE ELSE,NOT HIM.


GAUTHAM,STILL RECOVERING FROM THE SHOCK,SOLVES THE "LOVE"PROBLEM OF HIS FRIEND,KANNAN.JUST,WHEN WE WERE WONDERING WHY TRISHA,INSPITE OF LOVING ANOTHER GUY,CAUSED SUCH A FURORE IN GAUTHAM'S LIFE,WE GET THE ANSWER IN THE CLIMAX IN A MORE STUNNING,AWESOME WAY,WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED.


CAST:


SURIYA:


HE IS THE "BACK-BONE"OF THE FILM.HE GIVES A STUNNING PERFORMANCE AS A GUY,WHO HATES THE CONCEPT OF LOVE.ESPECIALLY THE SCENE WHEN HE DESTROYS THE LOVE OF HIS FRIEND'S COLLEAGUE.AND HIS TRANSFORMATION,AFTER FALLING IN LOVE IS ABSOLUTELY A DELIGHT TO WATCH.


SURIYA,as an actor has grown leaps and bounds,with some amazing streak of movies.Certainly,he is the one actor,who has got the power of "voice modulation",which his contemporary actors dont have.He is the one actor,after rajni,who has got that powerful screen-presence.Its indeed amusing that he is not the no.1 at the moment.May be he should do more movies like"AARU",which the masses(unfortunately!!)seem to like more.NEVERTHELESS,a great actor who has the potential to become the superstar in the longer run.


NANDHA:


He certainly makes a great debut,in this movie.Especially,the scenes involving him and suriya.its unfortunate that this guy is struggling to find a decent palce in the industry.


DIRECTOR AMEER:


Ameer makes a stunning debut as a director,and lives up to the reputation of bala's assistant.Right from the start,nothing happens on predicted lines.He also proves that he is no dud,when it comes to action sequences.(the fight before climax,simply electrifying).A very promising director,indeed.


YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA:


He gives life to the movie with his pleasing songs,and excellent re-recording(aka his papa).the pop song,a real treat.


MOUNAM PESIYADHE-A FILM WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TAKE THE TAMIL CINEMA TO THE NEXT LEVEL.THREE CHEERS!!!!

After a long search for a new director, we have a promising debutant in Kollywood and he is none other than Amir. The man who has worked as a assistant director with Bala. The protégé has made his guru proud with his first movie Mounam Pesiyadhe starring Surya and a host of new faces including Trisha. The movie is miles higher than some Kollywood masala flicks and well could turn out a new genre of movies.


Surya is Goutham and he hates girls and does not believe in all false romances and he is strictly opposite to his friend Kannan played by Nandha and we also see Anji has their friend who works in Surya's restaurant or cafe shop. Surya gets the blame for all the mischief of Kannan who is in love with Maha played by another new face Neha. Trisha is Kannan's cousin and the family decide to get them married and Kannan is heartbroken but he gets a life when he comes to know thru Goutham that Trisha is in love with a guy. Meanwhile Goutham is followed by a mysterious girl who gives him cards and prank calls but we along with Surya are made to believe that it is Trisha.


When Trisha calls Goutham and opens a can of secrets we are astonished and are left clueless. Soon Maha's family comes to know of her love with Kannan and all hell breaks loose. Now before reading any further just imagine what other movie directors would have done, they would have made Surya sing a sad song and may have joined the other couple but Amir makes us tremble with excitement and we are treated to a stunning climax. All the credit to the director for this spectacular climax and the song before the climax.


For the climax try going watching it in a theatre near you and go along with your friends. The movie has some big minus points like the stupid Valentines day song and the fights but they are overshadowed by some simple plus points. No separate comedy track, no item numbers, no double meaning dialogues and above all no heroism. This is one of the movies where you can't narrate it as a story but as a screenplay you can bring the movie back to life.


Cameraman Ramji gets the equal applause along with the director and the music director and the stunt director follow suit. Yuvan could have tried more in the background score but he makes us jive with his songs best of which is the last song and the music Love All day.


Surya has given his best performance in all the departments including dance sequences. Nandha and other cast members are a treat to watch while Trisha is sweet and she needs more good roles like this to stabilize herself.


If this movie is a hit then let new directors depend more on the storyline and screenplay rather than the hero or the heroine or even the music.


APPLAUSE : The entire team of Mounam Pesiyadhe.


AHEM! : Unnecessary songs and stunts.


VERDICT : Just go and watch it!

Nice Game
Jan 25, 2004 11:07 PM 3636 Views

I had seen this movie in DVD 4 the second time.I had seen it already & I want to write revu abt this movie very clearly.Well this movie deals with a guy who dislikes the flirt's & he respects the TRUE love & Lovers.He's havin a very close friend & who was in love with a gal.But he's a freak & thaz why he dislike his love.But anyhow the screenplay of this movie really nice.


The starting scene with a chasing scene of NANDHA makes us to guess so many things as he's dressed up in formals but later itz clearly understood he's a freak.The dialogue '' Excuse me, My name is Kannan. I'm a sales Executive.Monthly 20,000 salary.I'm a bachelor.If u dun mind u can take my card. '' Really a true dialogue which every earning bachelor guy like to tell 2 a good lookin gal.Simply performed by NANDHA but he excelled in it.( Might be more Xperienced)


Later SURYA gettin a fone call 4m an anonymous gal & he suddenl;y shows some expression which is been positively lookin 4 the luv were the cons.Bcoz he was not such a guy.He usually works very casual with any gal & he never cares abt them.If then hoe he can make himself fall on FONE LOVE.a question. & also when TRISHA says that she's gonna luv a guy just like SURYA he immediately takes it for granted as she's luvin himselves was really an unbelievable one.


But then the sequence while SURYA goes 2 kidnap a gal who's been loved by a guy whoz NADHA's frd & there he suddenly changes the gal's mind & he walks out was really nice.Also the scene in which he makes a comment abt the luvers cumin 2 his shop was also nice.His face xpressions makes a lot of sense & he also makes his body language very slowly a/c to sequence.Really a gr8 job 4m SURYA.


Then abt the director he also played a nice match 4 eg: while surya sees NANDHA in theatre & he scolds him on seeing him wait 4 her luver & then receiving a letter by a small boy in which it's stated his eyes were beautiful.At that time director takes us to the max. guess of us to think that TRISHA is the luver.But wherein which he never missed 2 show the car in which LAILA is travelling out behind TRISHA 's Scooty.


But then our suspense brokes out when TRISHA introduces her lover 2 SURYA.Bcoz b4 that his friend says to TRISHA that he had been followed by a gal during their college days & She was mad abt him.So as we come 2 know that


TRISHA was not in love with SURYA it immediately turns 2 that gal who studied along with SURYA in college.So climax is an easily guessable one.


BUT anyhow MOUNAM PESIYATHE was an enjoyable & winning game.

The film had everything on for it.A producer who gave the whole unit a free hand,a disciplined and dedicated cast mostly debutants,great crew,well trained debut director,roller coaster storyline,all with the exuberance of youth throughout the film.The average age of everyone involved in the film except for the producer would be between 25-28.


With things going fine for Aamir,he would have expected a fair victory for his first film.But if the audience thinks otherwise ,its him and his screenplay to blame.If only Aamir had discussed his screenplay with some seniors like Bhagayaraj,we would have definetely had that hit we were looking for.Alas that wasn't to happen and here we are still waiting for more maturity from young directors.


The storyline is seemingly simple. Kannan and Gautam are thick and intimate friends whose relationship dates since their KG Days.While Kannan otherwise ignorant and fearing person is a die hard flirt,the rough and tough Gautam hates love more than anything else.Sandhya,Kannans kissing cousin adores Gautam very much.When the parents of Kannan and Sandhya try to force their children to marry,Gautam intervenes and through the process finds that Sandhya is in love with him.Kannan is going steady with his girl friend Maha and intends upon marrying her.Gautam suddenly realises that love is not that bad and falls for Sandhya when Sandhya throws a trump card that she is in love with one Aravindh,with a stirking similarity to Gautam in opposing love.Gautam is thoroughly confused and then you have an unexpected climax.


The storyline is interesting enough. The main problem with the film is its tortoise slow screenplay.Its still my great mystery why the director who took about the whole first half for establishing Gautam's character as an antagoanist for love could stingily spend five or six minutes for him to fall in love.That was the major flaw in the film.


Also he film has lot of dialogues decsigned to create a punch,but the problem is only half of them create the desired effect.If the director avoided those dialogues,then we would have had a better film.


Another aspect is the songs also are not spaced in a good manner.Either they come too closely or distantly apart.


If these flaws have been corrected,Aamir may have scripted a glorious chapter in Tamil Industry.


Coming to the cast,the top honours should go for the street smart debutant Nandha(as Kannan) who does the ignorant role with great ease.In a year studded with hundreds of newcomers,Nandha is one among the very few who holds promise.


Surya,the only established actor in the cast has given enough pep to his role,though his dialogues remind you of Vijay. However it's the director to blame.Neverthless Surya does the role beautifully with great dedication.The choclate hero as which he debuted seems a mirage as Surya really excels in stunt scenes,which would augur well for his next action movie.


Trisha,the example of hitech media influencing people finally makes her debut.With her charecter and voice striking great similarity with Jyothika,the charming lady has miles to go for a long stay in the industry.


The other debutant Maha just does her role quietly.Another notable person is Anju Mahendra who comes as Surya's friend and provides necessary comic relief.


The crew have performed with good dedication too.While Ramjis photography is something glorious and promising,Yuvan Shankar Raja has given a better score.If Yuvan' songs dosent strike an accord in the film,then its the work of Aamir as said before.


Speaking of Aamir,here we have a debutant director not afraid of taking risks,with the twists and turns that would surprise traditional film makers.Aamir has that ability to innovate with capturing songs like pop albums.And he is one director who shows the todays youth in correct proposition, and has maintained high level of technical values.Its nice to see a youthful film given a censor certificate ''U'',as the film is just like the lives of you and mine,no exaggeration to cover the second grade audience.The film seems so natural that only after coming out of the theatre you realise that the film is devoid of any duet.


The director has made an earnest effort to attract the urban audience and seldom cared about the masala fans.But his few flaws make the film not as per the standars of the intelligent growing audience,who easily identify the director's very slow film and his major flaws. If only the director can learn lessons from his debut and try to work out his inexperience,the whole team promises very much for a scrambled Tamil Film Industry.


I rate the film highly neutral,perfectly balanced.But considering the hardwork done by the director and his inexperience,I would go on to recommend this film.But we shall hope better fare from Aamir the next time.
