Retrospective twitterification :
Just imagine twitter was there in the 80's and 90's and I were to review movies released then on twitter.
Year 1991, January - February:
Sigaram:
One of the best musical albums of the year undone by poorly executed movie that is not gripping enough. SPB is in form both as the lead actor and the music director, if only Ananthu was also up to it, "Sigaram" would have become a cult classic.
Bottomline: Buy it's audio cassette and save money
2/5
Eeramana Rojave:
Another terrific musical album spoilt by cliched story and inane direction. The lead pair who make their debut have a long way to go before they can be considered as actors. Chinni Jeyanth and co's comedy track is the only redeeming factor other than the songs.
Bottomline: Wait for Oliyum oliyum for the songs, skip the movie
2/5
Dharma Durai:
Remake of a kannada movie, "Dharma Durai" showcases Rajnikanth in a very mellowed down avatar which is the main reason why it has not gone down well with his fans. However, the family audience are lapping up the over the top melodrama and Ilayaraja's terrific assortment of songs.
Bottomline: Actor Rajni is back
3.5/5
Kumbakarai Thangaiah:
It is a middling movie that is neither good nor bad. Gangai Amaran fails to sustain the success rate that he had last year with couple of Ramarajan flicks. Prabhu sleep walks in the titular role. Ilayaraja's songs are the only saving grace.
Bottomline: Poor execution of a okayish story.
2.5/5
Thai Poosam:
Rama Narayanan is back with his snake and baby Shamili in this movie that is most suited for kids and those who are still juvenile in their minds. Watch out for the scene in which snake types a letter in a typewriter, priceless. Baby Shamili is the only competition for Sivaji Ganeshan as far as expressions in the playing of Nadaswaram is concerned.
Bottomline: Cult classic :P
2/5
Naan Pudicha Mapillai:
Movie rides solely on the shoulders of Janakaraj in one of the roles of his lifetime. As a demure and naive father-in-law he has the whole set of female audience rooting for him, the main reason why the movie has become this successful.
Bottomline: Janakaraj's one man show
3/5
