While Prithvi will make his first release of the year tomorrow in ‘Thanthonny’, Indrajith will present his big movie as an action hero ‘Nayakan’ in the same weekend. ‘Thanthonny’ directed by George Varghese has been in the news for its techno savvy making and its posters claiming the arrival of the new generation hero. The posters feature Prithvi in two faces, giving reminiscences of the characters like what Superstar Mohanlal played in his hit movie ‘Ustadh’. Scripted by T A Shahid, the movie has Sheela Kaul as the heroine. A couple of the songs of the movie were shot outside India. The other highlights includes the brilliantly choreographed action sequences and a song rendered by Prithvi. The Indrajith movie ‘Nayakan’ is directed by young director Lijo Jose Pellissery, the son of late comedian Jose Pelliserry. The movie presents Indrajith as a multifaceted character named Varadan who is on a revenge spree. The movie is said to offer Indrajith a lot of space to prove his acting capabilities. While ‘Thanthonny’ goes for a wide release ‘Nayakan’ will make a limited release. Both the movies are crucial for its stars, as their success will elate the heroes to another space and position in Mollywood which is going to last for long. Let's wait and see which of the brothers will win, in this ultimate fight for a place in the bigger league.

Suresh Gopi is going to once again take the gun as a ruthless investigative cop in veteran action film specialist director Suresh Babu directed Kanyakumari Express, being produced by Pyramid Film International.

The story and screenplay is by another veteran crime story specialist Dennis Joseph. Gopi will play a role that he has mastered over the years- a no-nonsense hard hitting cop Mohan Shankar hated by the politicians and unscrupulous businessmen who comes to the rescue of a beleaguered Chief Minister played by Jagathy Sreekumar at a crucial time.

Says Suresh Babu: “Kanyakumari Express, will be an edge of the seat action thriller, with never a dull moment.” The cinematographer is UK Senthilkumar, one time Rajinikanth’s favourite cameraman who did films like Padyappa & Annamalai with the superstar.

Yugapurushan, scripted and directed by the film-maker R. Sukumaran, documents with an element of fiction the life and times of the social reformer Sree Narayana Guru (1855-1928). The movie, mostly through the sermons of the Guru, depicts how he kindled a dormant people to rise up against injustice and fight for their rights. Yugapurushan is well acted and seriously mounted, but maintains a half way stand between being a biopic and a historical. As a biopic, Yugapurushan fails to leave a mark, and very rarely rises above a chronicled picturisation of the great sage’s most popular sermons.

The movie abounds with sketches of the different periods in the Guru’s career. It opens with a roaring sea in the background and the words of the Guru (Thalaivasal Vijai) echoing that no one is born impure; it is man who defiles. He is moved by the torture the downtrodden suffer at the hands of the so-called higher castes. Each incident makes him act, be it the flogging of a poor farmer tied to a yoke or the denial of basic education to poor girls. He is ever present to lead the masses.

When he comes to know that the some people are denied entry to temples, he retaliates by building and consecrating temples for them. The temples are open to all, and his dictum that all are equal is inscribed on the walls of temples and schools. The film ends with the final installation of the mirror as an idol at Kadavamkodam temple.

Thalaivasal Vijai pulls his role off with aplomb, portraying the different emotions of the Guru, especially a shocked and disturbed Guru on knowing the news of Kumaran Asan’s death and a subdued and desperate Guru following infighting within the organisation that he founded. The remarkable similarity of Thalaivasal Vijay to the Guru might seem astonishing. Mammootty as K.C. Kuttan, the ardent admirer of the Guru, and Saji, as Asan, symbolise altruism. Kalabhavan Mani as Koran gives a neat performance. Siddique and Babu Antony as Dr. Palpu and Ayyankali, respectively, show their fiery spirit.

After a series of flop movies like Goal (2007) and Minnaminnikoottam (2008), veteran Malayalam director Kamal is back with Dileep-Charmi starrer Aagathan, which finally brings the director back on right track. Aagathan, produced by Mathew Joseph and Rafi Methar under the banner of Via Media Entertainment, has turned out to be a good entertainer for both family and youth audiences, marking the return of actress Charmi to Malayalam, after her rather unsuccessful stint in Vinayan's Kattuchembakam, and the debut of Tamil actor Sathyaraj.

Aagathan begins in a flashback mode in Kashmir where a ten year old boy Goutham loses his family in a terrorist attack. Gautham (Dileep) is now grownup and the CEO of a software company in Bangalore. On his journey to Bangalore, he meets a management student Shreya (Charmi) in the bus and strikes up a pleasant conversation with her.

Though she hates him initially, she soon falls in love with him. She takes him to their house to meet her parents Retd. Gen. Hardeendra Varma (Sathyaraj) and Malathi Thampuratti (Zareena Wahab). Everyone in the family is happy with Gautham and agrees to his marriage with Shreya. But soon, we see that Gautham has done it all deliberately to seek revenge! "Why and how" forms the rest of the film.

The first half of the film is mostly about how Gautham and Shreya fall in love. Things actually begin to happen during the second half and it is exactly when the script start losing its grip. The climax of the film has been messed up and the storyline generally moves on highly predictable lines.

Dileep has trimmed his fat and is portraying a serious character and hence the comedy component is missing. Thanks to the director, no character is added just to create comedy. Charmi looks pretty and cute, but has nothing much to do in the second half. Sathyaraj stands as the epitome of an army officer. His posture and portrayal of character is par excellence. His delivery of dialogue in climax is incomparable. The rest of the cast including Lal, Biju Menon, Innocent, Zareena Wahab and Shilpa Bala have done their parts quite well.

Cinematography by Ajayan Vincent and Ouseppachan's music are the major highlights of tge film. The film looks colourful, fresh and the locations are breathtakingly beautiful. All in all, Aagathan is entertaining enough to be worth watching.
