Interesting fare
while successful team combines, expectations fully rises high. SO is the case with 7 Aum Arivu. Suriya,
director A R Murugadoss and music composer Harris Jayaraj team up again after the blockbuster Ghajini, definetly all eyes
are on the movie. Check out 7 Aum Arivu Movie Review.

Story
The flick starts in sixth century AD and Bodhi Dharman (Suriya), a Pallava prince goes to China from Kanchipuram. He is considered the messiah of masses in China as he helps people in the village to overcome an epidemic. Moreover he teaches martial arts and is considered the founder of Shaolin. After his demise, he is worshipped as Tao by all in China.

The concept is cut to present and enters Aravindh (Suriya), a circus employee . He works in Greaty Bombay Circus. He falls for Suba Sreenivas (Sruthi), a research student. Aravindh and Suba become thick pals and the former falls for SUba’s charm. Meanwhile, he comes to know that Suba has some motive behind her activities.

Moreover a sequence of events represent that Chinese government is planning to unleash harm to India by planning Operation red and sens one Dong Lee (Johnny Tri Nguyen), a matrtial arts expert to Chennai. He is informed to kill Suba for Chinese government fears that her research on Bodhi Dharman would hinder all their plans.

Suba knows that Bodhi Dharman was forefather of Aravindh and finds out that both DNA their matches. Now her task is bringing to liofe the heroice of Bodhi Dharman through Aravindh to thwart the plans of Chinese government. How they achieve the task is what the film is all about.

Performance
Everbody knows the effort Suriya puts behind each role of his. When he gets a chance to do such characters like Bodhi Dharman and a circus artiste Aravindh, he amazes. His hard work is visible. Also the way he shaped up his physique to suit the role deserve mention. Watch out for Suriya in a casual performance as Bodhi Dharman. He is excellent. Sruthi makes a good debut. She gets a meaty role to perform. She is there dancing, romancing and has enough emotional scenes too.
Johnny Tri Ngyuen is a welcome addition to Tamil cinema. He as baddie oozes bvenom in every move of his. All other teh cast does a decent job.

Technicalities
It is a tough storyline and it demands grandeur to reach out to the masses. A R murugadoss has done his part well. he has done immense research and ensured that the message is loudly and clearly conveyed through the film. Ravi K Chandran’s cinematography captures Chinese village well. Harris Jeyaraj’s tunes are interesting but reminds of Ayan and Aadhavan at places. Rajeevan’s art direction is good but Anthony’s editing could have been more crisp.

Analysis
A different story. But what spoils the party is events that unfolds. Unfortunately they are little amateurish and predictable. Murugadoss has tried his best to sustain momentum, unfortunately it loses plot as it enters second half. It’s well begun, but unfortunately seems to be half-done.

Verdict: 4.0/ 5

Engeyum Eppothum film concept is as below. Every day as we glance upon the ‘Accident News’ and it has really unavoidable. The news we read just gives us the picture of accident, picture of dead and injured and of course the reason behind reason. But have we ever thought about them? their love stories, and their affection for parents, family and their dreams. The very opening shot of the film gives the picture of two buses terribly crashing into each other. A flashback brings a detailed photograph of characters that travelled in these buses.

When A.R. Murugadoss altered the most complicated theme from ‘Mementos’ as ‘Ghajini’ adding a social issue (women authorization),his long time associate Saravanan picks a thin plot from ‘Final Destination 2’. Moreover, we have care to notice lots of similarities between these films that include the large vehicles, the nuts and bolts attached to the buses and many more of that sort.

But as you walk out of theatres, it’s a extremely silence as audiences are left speechless with lumps in their throats. Exactly, we could witness few audiences’ eyes soaked in tears. And that’s how a film should make the audiences feel. Make them reflect upon the screens…

‘Accidents’ as mentioned previous have become the most normal mode of death and more loss to the humans. Everyone should have come across similar situations, the pain, loss, feel of unhappiness that will never fade from our memories till last. Saravanan has excellently expressed the emotions through his writing. Though some of the characters are spotted like forcibly added, the main characters do add more intensity.

The lead pairs – Jai, Anjali, Sharvanand and Ananya walk away with live performances. The parallel games have been very well fashioned. The portions involving Jai and Anjali are more entertaining than it is with Sharvanand and Ananya. It’s not because Jai and Anjali are familiar faces, but they get more scope to perform. Say for example, the humor quotients and emotions are more with them while Sharvanand and Ananya remain silent during more portions and they have nothing more to express.

The other characters like young guy and gal is hilarious…. father urgently waiting to see his girl child for the first time is emotionally touching. M. Saravanan makes a deep impact during last 25minutes of the film and it’s the heaviest asset.

Couple of songs ‘Govinda Govinda’ and ‘Maasama’ is catchy while cinematography by Velraj plays a key role.

Overall, the film has a strong and appealing message to each and every audience that a very small careless mistake will cause huge loss…

All we can say is that don’t miss the film at any cost and it’s a must watch film for everyone.

Bharathi raaja doesn't decide his heroine for long period. After the release of Vaagai Sooda Vaa, he impressed by excellent performance of Iniya and decided she is the heroine of his upcoming film.

Bharathi raaja is an important director in tamil film. Everybody who acts in film is willing to get chance from him. Iniya bags this offer. "Anna kodiyum Kodi veeranum" will definetly get important place in tamil film world, adds Bharathi raaja oftenly.

Iniya made her entry as heroine through the film Vaagai Sooda Vaa which was directed by Sargunam. Iniya performed the role of a village girl. Her acting in this film has won. She has charmed the Tamil audience with her amazing acting.

Now she is pairing with Arulnidhi in a film titled Mouna Guru. Sharath is directing this film. Iniya is doing the role of a medical college student in this film.

This role is direct opposite to the role she had done in Vaagai Sooda Vaa. It seems that is the reason she has chosen this film.
