Komban Movie Preview

Cast:    Karthi, Lakshmi Menon, Rajkiran, Super Subbarayan, Kovai Sarala, Karunas, Thambi Ramaiah
Direction:    Muthaiya
Production:    K.E.Gnanavel Raja, S.R.Prakashbabu, S.R.Prabhu
Music:    G.V.Prakash Kumar

After a slew of flops Karthi made a strong comeback with ‘Madras’ directedby Pa. Ranjith. The film that scanned the lives of people living in North Chennai has become one of the highly acclaimed films of recent times and also set the cash registers ringing.

Now Karthi is getting back to his routes. The actor who debuted in Ameer’s ‘Partuhiveeran’ as a raw and rustic rural thug is acting in a complete rural subject after almost eight years in his upcoming film ‘Komban’. Although he acted as a youngster from a rural town in ‘Saguni’ the story was entirely set in Chennai and there was nothing more than a bit of dialogue accent to give the rural taste for the flick. But ‘Komban’ that is being directed by M.Muthiah is expected to give a complete feel of watching a film set in a rural background since the entire film is being shot in Ramanathapuram an interior district of south Tamilnadu. With the director who has debuted with ‘Kuttipuli’ a film set in Madurai with enormous sentiment and action factors we can be assured of a hard hitting rural flick that will satisfy family audience as well as action lovers.

Karthi gets to pair with Lakshmi Menon for the first time and Raj Kiran will be acting as his father- In -law.  Going by the young actor’s interview, the film will concentrate more on the love-hate relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, which is a rarely explored subject in films dealing with family relations. With a powerful actor like Rajkiran doing that role, we can be assured of some emotional treat.

Karunas and Thambi Ramiyah will be providing  comic relief and G.V.Prakash is scoring the music. The young composer’s debut film ‘Veyyil’ and National award winning film ‘Aadukalam’ would speak volumes about his ability to churn out rural based melodies and folk numbers. The film produced under the Studio Green banner is progressing at a rapid pace and it is expected to hit the screens in February 2015.

Karthi's 'Komban' on April 2

Karthi's Komban is likely to be released on April 2 and sources from Studio Green have confirmed the same.

Komban also has Rajkiran, Lakshmi Menon playing important roles while Muthaiah of Kuttipuli fame is directing the film.

Though the shooting of Komban will be wrapped up soon, the makers don't want to release in March as cricket world cup and exams will be affecting the trade.

Mean time, Udhayanidhi has already confirmed that his Nanbenda will be releasing on April 2 and also Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain team is planning for April 3 release.

[MysteRy]

Karthi's 'Komban' release preponed

Karthi’s Komban which was earlier slated for April 2 has advanced its release date to March 27 and thus the film will have a huge advantage of full one week run in more than 400 screens across Tamil Nadu.

Directed by Muthaiah of Kuttipuli fame, Komban has Lakshmi Menon, Rajkiran, Thambi Ramaiah and many others to its star cast while Studio Green has produced the film.

The audio launch of Komban will be happening on March 5 and GV Prakash has composed the music.

Trade feel the Komban’s decision of advancing the release date will definitely help the business as they can’t hold three big films releasing on the same day.

As Komban preponed its release date, the Easter weekend will have only two releases, Kamal’s Uttama Villain and Udhayanidhi’s Nanbenda.

My character in Komban is unique: Karthi

Yesterday, (March 5) the audio launch of Karthi’s Komban took place at Prasad labs, Chennai. Speaking at the function, Karthi said "After Paruthiveeran, I was little apprehensive in choosing a village subject because people would definitely claim that a particular dialogue or my particular expression reminds my role in Paruthiveeran but when Muthiah narrated the script of Komban it had an unique characterization".
 
"In Komban my character does not booze, he lives by his virtue which is contrast to the Paruthiveeran character and also I believe that the roles of seasoned actors like Rajkiran who is playing my father-in-law and Kovai Sarala who is playing a serious mom will give a different feel to the film" said Karthi at the press meet.
 
Speaking at the function, Rajkiran said " If Komban changes one father-in-law and son-in-law's ego clash then it would be a victory for the whole team ".
 
Director Muthiah has revealed that Komban is based on the real life incident which is happened between his father and grandfather. Muthiah said “Though Kuttipuli was a hit, media cited many flaws in the film and I have tried to rectify it in Komban which will be a lively film on human emotions and family values".
 
Karunas who is playing an important role in Komban said that his first film was with Suriya's Nandha and now Komban is his 100th film as an actor and interestingly it has happened with Suriya's brother Karthi.
 
GV Prakash who has composed the songs said “ Today, my film Darling is celebrating its 50th day which was distributed by Studio Green and now they have launched their new music label with my album and I hope it turn out to be a successful venture”.
 
GV Prakash said that for Komban he has used lively instruments to make sure that the village music sounds different than normal Tamil film songs and they have roped in two folk lyricists for it.
 
Earlier a brand new trailer and one song were shown at the function and the visuals are promising.Studio Green is planning to release Komban on March 27 in more than 400 screens across Tamil Nadu.

Lakshmi Menon missing at Komban audio & press meet?

Komban's leading lady Lakshmi Menon was not present at the press meet/ audio launch of the film which has happened at Chennai.

When asked Director Muthiah said "Lakshmi Menon is busy with her higher secondary examinations and hence we didn't disturb her".

Speaking about the on-screen chemistry in Komban, Karthi said " I couldn't think any other heroine in Lakshmi Menon's role as she has perfectly suited for the particular characterization".

Karthi says " The romantic portions in Komban will be different because the director has showcased the post-marriage love sequences in the film".

"There are few scenes which reminded by real life experience, for example in a particular scene, I make fun of the new dress bought by Raj kiran and  I have passed such fun comments on my real life father-in-law as well" confessed Karthi at the press meet.

Komban audio review

Cast: Karthi,Lakshmi Menon,Rajkiran,Kovai Sarala
Music: GV Prakash
Direction: Muthaiah
‘Komban’ marks the return of Karthi-GV Prakash combo after ‘Saguni’. This album also marks GV Prakash’s return to folk domain. Let us see what the album has got in store for us:

Kambikara Vetti
Singers: VM Mahalingam,Ananthu
The album opens up with a template ‘thiruvizha’ track which has a pretty outdated tune. The singers try their best to lift the spirits of the song but in vain. The tune falls flat & fails to grab listener’s attention as it would have liked to. Might get better with visuals.

Appappa
Singers: GV Prakash Kumar & Shreya Ghoshal
‘Appappa’ is the second best track of the album! GV Prakash plays to his strengths and delivers a soothing melody. The tune has a ‘heard before’ feel to it but is still very impressive. Shreya Ghoshal is at her very best alongside GV’s vocals. A nice,soothing listen!

Karuppu Nerathazhagi
Singers: Velmurugan & Maalavika Sundar
The best track of the album! GV Prakash is in full flow in ‘Karuppu Nerathazhagi’ delivering an instantly catchy and peppy tune. Though the addition of Velmurugan adds the dejavu of ‘Otha Sollala’, this song still stands out as the album’s best number thanks to a foot tapping tune.

Mella Valanjadhu
Singers: Madhu Balakrishnan
‘Mella Valanjadhu’ fills up the pathos quotient of the album. This track which is lyrically driven has a very mundane mood and Madhu Balakrishnan sings it with ease. Although the track is heavily situation oriented, it still works.

A Celebration – Komban Theme
A template folk instrumental sums up as the theme music for the movie laded with heavy percussions and typical arrangements. Might get featured as the background score. Passable listen!
   
After a very impressive ‘Darling’ & a disappointing ‘Pencil’, GV Prakash bounces back with ‘Komban’ where the composer returns to his ‘Aadukalam’ territory. Although couple of tracks don’t work to a great deal, the composer brings out his best in tracks like ‘Karuppu’ & ’Appappa’.

Picks from the album: Karuppi Nerathazhagi,Appappa

'Virumand'i fate for 'Komban'?

Puthiya Tamilagam political party’s convener Krishnasamy is known for his controversial comments about Tamil films.

It was because of Krishnasamy’s comments; Kamal Haasan opted to change the title of his film from Sandiyar to Virumandi.

Now Krishnasamy has said that Karthi’s Komban is having extreme abusive language and the dialogues have glorified one community and insulted the other cast hence the censor board should make sure that such dialogues are not allowed for public screening.

In a recent media meet, Komban’s director Muthaiah has clarified that his film will depict the relationship between the protagonist (Karthi) and his father-in-law (Rajkiran) which is based on the real life happenings.
