Now, finally there seems to be some happy news on the way for Ajith fans as the star’s birthday is approaching on the 1st of May. Yuvan Shankar Raja has tweeted that he recently worked on an awesome new teaser for this film, which is popularly called Thala 53. Vishnu’s brother, actor Krishna, has also tweeted that the teaser looks powerful.

Now whether this teaser would be unveiled on Ajith’s birthday is anybody’s guess but the signs are positive indeed.

Music composer G.V.Prakash has finished composing songs for Thalaivaa and the audio launch of Thalaivaa is anticipated in a month. G.V.Prakash shared this news in a social networking site. He tweeted, “#Thalaivaa all songs are done … Album release in a month … Time to lead.” Thalaivaa team has recently returned to India after completing their Australia schedule.

Thalaivaa also casts Suresh, Sathya Raj and Rajiv Pillai in supporting roles. Nirav Shah is handling the cinematography and editing is by Anthony. Chandra Prakash Jain, C.P. Sunil and C.P. Dinesh are producing Thalaivaa under Sri Mishri Productions.

The ‘Sathiyama Nee Enaku Thevayae Illa’ has gone viral among the youth and the news conveyed by the sources is that Nayanthara has been portrayed as a soup girl in this song. Further, it is said that Nayanthara has readily agreed to Dhanush’s request to do this song and has performed this for him without any remuneration purely for the friendship that she has for Dhanush. Check out the still from the song in which Nayanthara shakes leg with Dhanush.

Dhruva was awarded the status of a pole star, the one which is usually set high than the other stars in the galaxy. Also Gautham tells that the script demanded the title. The title logo of the film will be revealed on 30th of April along with the cast and crew of the film. ‘Dhruva Natchathiram’ will be produced by Gautham Menon’s Photon Kathas.

Endrendrum Punnagai team is in Switzerland canning their next schedule. Director has also planned to shoot few important scenes in France and other places of Europe. Lead actor Jeeva shared his news on his twitter page. He tweeted, “Filming for #Endrendrum Punnagai here in Swiss.”

Endrendrum Punnagai also casts Nassar and Varsha Ashwath in supporting roles. R.Madhi is handling the cinematography and Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Films has acquired the distribution rights.

The film is the story of a young man Shiva who suspects that his wife’s paramour is Mahesh and his search of this man. Sundeep Kishan who was last seen in Marandhen Mannithen is the male lead and is supported by a huge ensemble that includes Livingston, Uma Padmanabhan, Singamuthu and many others.

Madhan Kumar has attempted to make a movie with humor as its mainstay but it is unfortunate that this humor comes across as episodic. While the individual elements are successful in bringing out the laughs, the ingredient that strings all these into a cohesive product is missing. Till the interval block, the audience is kept wondering about the purpose of the film and post interval, when it is known, it becomes quite predictable. And the climax is one big downer.

The film in the first half literally hops with a search of direction and also gives the feeling of watching a television serial. There are so many characters affected by verbal diarrhea. It appears that the purpose of all college students is only to find their mates. And the women bashing continues in YM too where the character says not to trust any woman! It’s definitely time for a change!

In the second half, the search for Mahesh starts and each episode of Mahesh truly brings laughs although they may not appear logical or sensible. Examples are the episodes of transgender and ‘gopppal’, the drum Mahesh, the slum dog Mahesh and the gay Mahesh. Madhan Kumar should have used a powerful thread to string all these episodes which would have resulted in a wholesome laugh riot.

Jagan shoulders the film and it’s his performance, body language and dialogue delivery that carries Yaaruda Mahesh. The best pick would be when he proudly brags to Sundeep that he is going to become a dad and that he has ensured that it is only his kid! Sundeep Kishan is average and does not do much. Heroine Dimple Chopade is another glam doll for Tamil.

An interesting aspect that is notice worthy of YM is the way the director has etched the character of Sundeep Kishan as a stay at home dad with wife Dimple as the sole bread winner. There is also a dialogue from Dimple that gives instructions to Sundeep to take care of the baby and household when she starts for work. However while you are relishing this approach change of Tamil films, there comes a tight slap (literally and metaphorically) to Dimple from Sundeep bringing down such novelty factor quickly and assuring that the director had taken the detour only slightly and temporarily.

The tracks scored by Gopi Sundar are pedestrian but the picturization of the songs is stylish. The different tone adapted in Yaaruda Mahesh number stands out. That aside, other technical departments are just about adequate.

To sum it up, Yaaruda Mahesh is a unidirectional product that targets youth with liberal does of adult humor but is not powerful enough to sustain the interests through the entire length of the film. Yaaruda Mahesh certainly has not lived up to the expectations generated by the trailer.
