Silukkuvaarpatti Singam movie review: When a story is this flimsy, it is impossible to get invested in a single character.
Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie cast: Vishnuu Vishal, Regina Cassandra Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie director: Chella Ayyavu Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie rating: 2 stars
Silukkuvarupatti Singam is yet another run-of-the-mill comedy film that is filled with crass and sexist jokes. Vishnuu Vishal plays Sakthi aka Sathyamoorthy, a constable who doesn’t care about his job and is extremely passionate about his half-boiled egg (go figure!). He is accompanied by Bhaskar (Karunakaran), another constable who wants to do his job well but isn’t allowed to because of the attitude of every other cop around him. Bigg Boss fame Oviya whose cameo was highly publicized is introduced in the film even before her entry as all the principal characters in the film have objectified her in the first two minutes of the film. The villain is Cycle Shankar, a pitiless rowdy who murders cops in broad daylight and gets away with it comfortably.
The first half takes its own time to introduce all the other characters in the film. There is share-auto Chandran, a local goon of Silukkuvarupatti and ex-minister Mansoor Ali Khan. Regina Cassandra is Raji, Sakthi’s love interest. The initial dialogues and “romance” between the lead are cringe-worthy. Sakthi sees her for a second and immediately bursts out in a dream sequence and sings about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. There is a scene where Sakthi sniffs her and asks what soap she uses in front of a kid! Even the kid is bothered by it and turns away. Regina seems totally out of place in a small town as a teacher.
Cycle Shankar gets arrested and beaten up by Shakti for mistakenly knocking a plate of half-boiled egg out from his hand. He spends four days in the lock-up for this! We get rape jokes. A woman tells the cop to book her alcoholic husband in a rape case because he comes home drunk and rapes her only to get dismissed and not taken seriously. There are half a dozen sub-plots, a dozen characters and it ends up being a giant mess without provoking a single laugh.
The saving grace of the film is Yogi Babu whose dialogue delivery and comic timing is spot on. When a story is this flimsy, it is impossible to get invested in a single character. There is a scene where Vishnuu Vishal disguises himself as a woman and the locals chase her for a fix. It is in such bad taste. The climax is just a weak attempt to tie all the loose ends together. With its inconsistent and problematic humour, it is far from a laugh riot. The film doesn’t accomplish what it sets out to do.
, 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...
, Download New Movie For Canadian singer/songwriter Andy Shauf, solo success meant putting band life on a brief hold. Whether narrating the macabre end to an unfaithful relationship or house-party antics gone horribly wrong , Shauf has diligently refined his storytelling during the last decade on a series of albums under his own name. All the while, he’s also performed alongside hometown pals Dallas Bryson and brothers Darryl and Avery Kissick as Foxwarren. After releasing 2016’s self-produced, self-arranged The Party on Anti-, Shauf has pulled the band along for the record deal via Foxwarren’s self-titled debut. From the music’s mild temperament to its orchestral flourishes, there are similarities to Shauf’s solo work. But Foxwarren invest more in lyrical ambiguity than storyboard form, a sense they match with wondrously spacious sounds. These songs reflect the band’s familial bond, radiating warmth like a campfire. Foxwarren ’s 10 tracks range in tone from brooding Elliott Smith -...
, Download New Movie The Montreal dream pop trio Men I Trust make such warm, delicately twee bops, a single spin will make you want to buy gingham. But don’t be fooled: Beneath the surface of their sepia-toned, blissed-out sound are sharp, biting lyrics. “Say, can you hear,” the lead single from their forthcoming first album with frontwoman Emma Proulx, Oncle Jazz, celebrates the power of observation. “You’re self absorbed, raving about your cryptic ways,” Proulx sings nonchalantly over a burst of vintage synths that sound like organs and bright, reverberant guitar. Proulx’s observations only get more cutting from there, as she notes how her subject walks through life with a ceaseless air of narcissism: “Waiting for the world to bend around you,” she sings with cool detachment in the refrain. The self-absorption comes across as chilling, and when met with the song’s perfectly chipper melody, “Say, can you hear” becomes jangle-pop fit for a David Lynch film. 3D song download download
