Tamil Movie Review: Beautiful Sarvam Thaala Mayam 2019, GV Prakash High Point Movie

GV Prakash Sarvam Thaala Mayam Tamil Music Movie

Before , my impression of GV Prakash is that he is a really good director who has composed some of the best hits in the movie industry. I had never rated him as a good perhaps due to the types of roles that he has done in the past.

My personal favourite is his composition for the 2010 Tamil movie, Aayirathil Oruvan titled “Maalai Neram” sung by Andrea Jeremiah. He also did a great job in music scoring for other blockbusters like Madrasapattinam, Deiva Thirumagal and Raja Rani. Image source: Wikipedia.

I dare say that this is probably one of the most iconic image of Naicker & Neela from 1987 movie (aka Nayagan). Kamal’s facial expression tells a million things happening in his mind with Neela looking back at him innocently – Image source: www.medium.com.

We pay to watch these movies (those who subscribe to the movie channels at Astro, you will know what I mean) and thus all we ask for is that if you can’t make a great entertaining movie, then make one that is logical.

sad

It is a fact that we cannot separate “crying scenes” from especially when you watch the old movies. but sometimes sadness can come in other forms as well especially when you have Kamal in the lead role.

I may have my “bad moments” with (and worse ones are the Tamil Serials) but I have to admit that some Tamil movies or some scenes are simply gems. I talked about comedies in Tamil movies and coming to the other spectrum of comedy, this has to be one of my favourite moments from Tamil movies has to be this:-

Indian Cinema 101: Those Tamil Movies That I Really Hate!

tamil movies

– there are some that truly get on my nerve. Don’t get me wrong – the acting is a first-class like how acted in Vietnam Veedu.

Couple days ago, Astro showed one old movie starring Sivaji Ganesan and whilst I admit that he is a great , the movie itself was a big pain in the neck (there are many similar sharing the similar storyline).
