Adanga Maru movie review: This Jayam Ravvi starrer is strictly a one-time watch.
Adanga Maru movie cast: Jayam Ravvi, Raashi Khanna, Ponvannan, Sampath Raj Adanga Maru movie director: Karthik Thangavel Adanga Maru movie rating: 3 stars
Karthik Thanigavel’s Adanga Maru starts off with the usual entry scene of any cop-based film in Kollywood. The low-angle shot starting from his boots, the slow-mo, the over-dramatic BGM and even a random act of heroism where he saves a student from a fire-torch is used to introduce Subash (Jayam Ravi). He is a new Sub-Inspector who has been on the job for only 4 days and yet he is asked to handle a protest situation involving students. In the first half, the movie is in a hurry to establish the core qualities of Subash. He is dedicated to his family. He is a doting uncle who loves his nieces. He is also all set to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend Anita (Rashi Khanna). We also learn that he is a hacker and can throw a mean punch.
Subash is an IPS aspirant and wants to do right by his job but is constantly told off by his superior officer to “obey the order”. He is seen getting increasingly frustrated with his own police force, but he also knows how to work around the system. More than once, he tells the public how to instigate law enforcement. He works hard on the apparent rape and murder case of a girl named Parvathy, but is ordered to write it off as another suicide case, while the perpetrators walk free. He is suspended and goes home to find his family murdered. The film immediately shifts to a revenge plotline and the story picks up pace.
In a role that requires him to be angry and frustrated most of the time, Jayam Ravi is convincing. There are multiple loopholes in the film but as viewers, we don’t get the time to dwell on them because of the pace. Ravi engages in a cat-and-mouse game with his own department and even taps in on the anger of the public and engages them in a “mobile game” to kill one of the rapists.
Kollywood has done to death the revenge storyline but somehow Adanga Maru is engaging. However, the movie is confused about its message. It starts off by outlining the lethargy and corruption inside a police organisation and then talks about women’s safety.
A more nuanced, well thought-out storyline with better CGI could have definitely elevated the revenge saga. Adanga Maru is strictly a one-time watch.
, Download New Movie Apple gave everyone a glimpse at the future of the iPhone with last year's iPhone X, positioning it at the top of its lineup. With a “notch” and Face ID, the iPhone X was the iPhone of the future, and it came with a price tag that required you to pay EMIs well into the future. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were meant to be the more accessible offerings, continuing Apple's “business as usual” model of delivering solid, incremental updates at prices that were only marginally higher than their predecessors. With 2018, however, it seems the future is here, as Apple has gone all-in with the iPhone X ( Review ) design language across the entire lineup. For the second year in a row, we get not two but three new iPhone models, but this time, they all look pretty much the same — like the iPhone X, but at different sizes. Physically, the iPhone XR sits between the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max . It's priced in iPhone 8 Plus territory, which means Apple has elim...
, Download New Movie We are sending away 2018 and we look back and see what were the most popular phones over the past year. While there are 20 phones in the yearly selection, the list of manufacturers is scarce. To be more precise, two out of every three devices come from either Xiaomi or Samsung. Samsung brought us 7 of the most popular phones in 2018 - hardly a surprise that the world's largest manufacturer dominates the popularity chart. Somewhat less expected is that Xiaomi got 6. Last year , the number for the Korean manufacturer was the same, but the Chinese maker is up by one, showcasing that the global trend of Xiaomi catching up to the big guys is on every level. The most popular phone of 2018 was the Redmi Note 5 Pro and it completely smashed any competition. It was so popular, that the other two Xiaomis following couldn’t gather the same number of hits even if they combined their powers. Samsung eventually caught up with the Galaxy A8 (2018). The love for midrangers is...
