SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Sruthi Krishna Ajith.. One of the many actors I have never really connected too. Does this movie change that fact? No!! Probably not!! But is the movie good? Hell yes. Terrorism, politics, romance, subtle comedy and an amazing story line to top it off, Aarambam is a must watch.Starring Ajith, Arya and Nayanthara the film keeps the audience trapped cause let's face it, the three actors did an astounding job.Arya - The whimsical paranoid yet good hearted super genius.Nayanthara - The 'm sexy and I know it.. So not afraid to show it' badass girl who takes the foreground and is into the action sequences (probably even more than Arya) fighting with guns and weaponry. Being a woman, it was exhilarating to see a heroine get down and dirty in a Kollywood movie instead of just standing in the side lines and looking pretty.Ajith - Even though he sometimes looks slightly unfit, he makes up for it double time through his kickass super scary villain-for-a-cause role. Ajith impresses and delivers with superb lines and some brilliant acting skills. Bottomline - Go watch this movie that is sure to blow the box office apart. Kick back, have some fun, eat some popcorn, enjoy a night at the theatre and just Keep It Simple!!

SivakumarBalachandran Watched Aarambam aka Thala 53 (referred title still post production). Aarambam comes a Diwali treat for Ajith fans. It is a usual revenge story that's been going in Tamil cinema for decades. But the fact is it is stylishly presented by the director Vishnuvardhan with his own favorite team of actors. The story is loosely woven around revenge, corruption, terrorism, betrayal, sentiments, Politics and holes in Police department. If we link up all we get is the story which is no way new to us but definitely the director has tried to keep the fast pace throughout the movie though it has got drag moments in the second half. The first half was racy and engaging definitely. Coming to the performances obliviously with no doubt that this is a "Thala"mass movie, so Ajith kumar as Ashok kumar becomes the show stealer has done it very well. No doubt he looked enthusiastic and stylish with his salt and pepper but it was not maintained even throughout the movie sometimes he was looking fat and sometimes muscular. Nayanthara second movie after her come back has given us a power packed performance as Ajith's accomplice with her usual billa type glam sham rendition. Aarya as a jolly out of college hacker has shown us his humor shade throughout the movie which indeed keeps us entertaining. Tapsee looks cute was helpful in keeping the humor line engaged with Aarya as baby- baby lover. Apart from this we have so many support actors Atul gulkarni, Kishore, Rana Dugabatti everyone has done justice to their roles. Technically the story didn't have any creativeness and cannot be compared to Billa or Mankatha. The fact is Ajith playing anti hero role throughout all these franchise movies. Music was so average the songs were place badly didn't help the movie. Cinematography was done well. Verdict: Overall it comes as a stylish but usual revenge tale with lots of charisma and definitely keeps you engaged apart from its drags and logic holes on the second half. No doubt it was above Billa 2 but below Mankatha and Billa 1. Worth watch once and for core Ajith fans they get more than what they expected.-Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran (bsiva84@gmail.com)

saran raj CASTARRAMBAM a blockbuster script with mass crowd puller Thala,attractive Arya.I think Vishnuvardhan made this movie in full cool with confident and made this movie a big Blockbuster . Garenty that a big action sorry stylish Action of Ajith,Fun of Arya,rude action of Nayanthara,Attractive Tapsee and om Prakash cinematography capturing perfectly every thing.STORYThe story star starts with Thala bombing various building in Mumbai city who comes out like a terrorist then it is carried out by Arya who is a Hacker.college comedy of Arya as a Fat boy worked out. Ultimate makes Arya to do his jobs in a gun point. unsatisfied Arya traps Ajith to Mumbai police are the first half with good flow.Then stars the second half which decides the ARRAMBAM as a blockbuster WATCH OUTThere are plenty of Scene which makes us to go for the movie for second time.The opening of Thala was normal,the notable thing is Thala dance in first song where a man with these many operation,accident had made it with full energy(great).Thala boat ride "can any hero in Tolly,Bolly even Holly"repeat it today even young Sixpacked hero's says i cant risk my life for a bike ride with rope all over their body you may say Thala is a race so he may do it then u must be accepting the fact that "he is a fearless mass hero".In one scene When the Ducati bike was shown the whole crowd went up but it was a normal ride like other hero's even though the whole crowd went up till the end only because it is Thala.Director loved Thala Soo Soo mush he brought every thing out of him but with 4 to 5 risk scene which was "Marana Mass" I thought how could Thala do it "Thala has every thing money good wife and family" but takes a risk shot does every thing for fans but do not want to have a fan followers.What is this Thala? Every day fans will be increasing for u Thala But we doesn't want you to risk too mush.Cinema Psychos Not only because of Thala the story made with every other character is also engaging. Tapsee was top in acting.There was more Editing mistakes and even the rerecording in some scenes were too bad.For those who want to learn from movie you can learn how to engage the crowds and the beautiful CG work in song and in action scene.Other than that this is a normal Blockbuster movie which comes out every year for nearly a Decade which has no formula why it is Hit.You would be the only persons in theater thinking that am i sitting in a Blockbuster movie.This movie is only for Public ARRAMBAM is a movie which cannot be stopped from its Blockbuster.But it is not the new beginning For THALA,Vishnuvardhan or TAMIL CINEMA.

dee4981 The movie comes with the repeated dialogue of "make it simple" and guess what? That's exactly what the movie is not... nothing is made simple. Everything is exaggerated. I find this movie a total waste of time and money on my part as a movie goer and total waste of great talents such as Ajith, Arya and Nayan. Sad but the true fact is most movies with big talent such as Ajith are solely built around their star power rather than a good story-line. The focus is on making them look more stylish instead of bringing out their potential. I have seen this kind of movies many a times and if you are looking for a truthful verdict, this isn't the movie you would want to spend your money on. The first half of the movie wasn't as intriguing as what the director tried to portray and the 2nd half was so predictable. The so called lovable conversations between Arya and Tapsee does not really seem to be lovable. Nayan was totally wasted in this movie and as much as I acknowledge her talent in acting I would even consider to say this movie as the worst of her career so far. Ajith, what can I say? I just hope that he would make better choices in the future rather than sticking to the same macho-man-wearing-glasses- carrying-gun-in-slow-motion stories.
