Cast:    Karna Karan, Simhaa, Balaji, Vijayalakshmi
Direction:    Badri
Music:    Sean RoldanMovie names derived from popular songs has become quite a trend, and falling on the lines is “Aadama Jaichomada” that became popular during the days of Mankaatha. Now the movie is all but set for a release this weekend and there are quite a number of catchy facts that surround the movie, that should compel the movie goers to throng the cinemas.

For once the rise of Bobby Simha has been nothing short of a phenomenon, from the loan shark in Neram to a brutal rowdy in Jigarthanda he has entertained on all grounds winning reviews from critics and applause from the audience likewise. He plays as a cop, the one with a lateral thinking up his sleeve in cracking down cases. Badri the director is said to have twisted a tale around cricket and the dark face of gambling that clouds the sport.

Apart from Simha, another star who is shooting to fame for his innocent one liners and slapstick humor is Karunakaran. The recent Jigarthanda saw the actor’s strength in playing an important sidekick, yet carve a neat role for himself. Both Simha and Karunakaran have brushed their short films beside to concentrate more on the main length movies. Also present are Vijayalakshmi who is back after a brief hiatus and Balaji Venugopal who last played the lead in Sutta Kadhai.

As the movie’s title goes, it’s about illegal betting during the cricket matches and how it’s unearthed by special task team. The movie will be an abode of comic timing and humor dialogues and why not as the scripting is by none other than “Shiva” the actor himself. The RJ turned hero is known for his cracker dialogues onscreen and now he has capped himself as a dialogue writer as well.

Badri an associate director of Sundar C directed the remake of Thillu Mullu which opened to positive reviews all over. It will be ironical as Sundar C’s Aranmanai also hits the screens on the same day, so locking horns with the Guru will be a toast. Sean’s music is one to watch out for, as this youngster has been winning some rave reviews.

Mark your calendars, September 19 is the date!

Aadama Jaichomada Music Review

Cast:    Karna Karan, Simhaa, Balaji, Vijayalakshmi
Direction:    Badri
Music:    Sean Roldan

After striking big in his first three movies, Sean is back with another low budget movie. The composer has given some tremendous numbers in his previous flicks; does he maintain his standard, and consolidates his position as a music director? Come, let’s find out..

Odura Nari – Sean Roldan

The album opens up with a terrific, all in all show from the composer, who has sung and written the lyrics. Going by the lyrics, the song could be used as a montage number, and Sean showcases his brilliance with guitars once again to build a nice pace throughout the song. The sing along verses, onnu rendu, ek do, moonu then, naalu chaar is quite funky, and you might end up singing the same for a day or two.

Thanniyila – Pradeep Kumar, Divya Ramani

From guitars to Violins, Sean takes us to the world of melody with Pradeep Kumar leading the way. The specialty of this song is; after every verse, Sean delivers the same from the instruments, and that makes the song sounds too good. The composer goes on to implement the same strategy in the second stanza by letting the lead singers take over the song and follows them with his piano. A gorgeous melody which re-invents the age old composition formula in a contemporary way.

Nalellam – Shakthishree Gopalan

The album heads to a folk number driven by flawless vocals of, Shakthishree. So far, it’s 3/3 for Sean for delivering different genres in as many songs. GKB’s lyrics are simple yet captivating – ‘Verum sothil suvai edhaiyaa, unakku venjirama naan vaarenya’ verses like these exhibits the playful character in beautiful rural Tamil. The flute portions which starts in the first prelude is exhilarating, and goes on to wrap up the proceedings wonderfully well.

One Day Enum Match – Alphonse Joseph

Amidst a glorious rock’ish background, the track is not so exciting. Alphonse Joseph tries his best to sound like a rock star, but, the tune lets him down. The lyrics too doesn’t serve the purpose. The song could have been composed for a, Cat & Mouse situation, still Sean could have done something better to avoid  the first low point in a progressive graph.

Nall Ketukka Padam – A.L. Raghavan, Sean Roldan

Albeit the lyrics are pretty platitudinous penned by, Ramesh Vaidya,  the song redefines the cool quotient to a great extent. Sean combines the foot tapping chords with A.L. Raghavan’s vocals to dish out a new age rhyme. Sean somehow redeems his lost form with the previous number, and ends the album on a high note.

Aadama Jaichomada Movie Review

Director: Badri
Cast: Karunakaran, Simhaa, Vijayalakshmi, KS Ravi Kumar

Kollywood is experiencing a surge in the making of black comedies, which caters to a niche multiplex audiences. Badri who last remade Thillu Mullu with Shiva, is back with Aadama Jaichomada with two favourite actors of the critics- Karunakaran and Simhaa.

Badri’s suspense laden film is about match-fixing in cricket especially in T:20’s. He has woven his story on recent controversies about the Chennai based betting syndicate, in a humorous manner.

The story is minimal, but it is the treatment that matters. A cricket bookie (Balaji) gets friendly with call taxi driver (Karunakaran). A cop (Simhaa) and his boss the police commissioner (KS Ravikumar) are trying their best to break the betting syndicate on the eve of a big match in Chennai. The bookie is trying to buy a bowler from one of the teams and fix the match. What follows is black humour that will make you laugh.

The film works for its performances of Karunakaran, Balaji and the interactions between the bumbling cops Simhaa, KS Ravikumar and Chetan. There is something quirky about it that makes the film a watchable fun ride. The scenes like Vijayalakshmi, a idli seller and Karuna’s wife telling him she will marry only a guy who can provide an attached bathroom, as she is fed up of waiting in a long queue outside a common toilet in a slum!

Though the film is a breeze at 2 hours, the two unwanted songs hamper the proceedings. And at times there is too much detailing as the story flounders. On the whole, Aadama Jaichomada is like a T:20 match fast and thoroughly enjoyable.
