Direction: R Velraj
Written By : R Velraj
Music: Anirudh Ravichander
Cinematography:A Kumaran
Starring: Dhanush, Amy Jackson, Samantha
Our Rating : 3/5 

Makers of last year's blockbuster hit Velai Illa Pattathaari(VIP) join hands again in 'Thanga Magan'. Thanga Magan is a light-hearted entertainer that has its elements of humour, love,affection,and action.  Dhanush's fourth film of 2015 after Anegan,Maari and Shamitabh , he could end 2015 on a good note.


Tamizh(Dhanush) belongs to a middle class family. His two phases of life is portrayed in the film . One as an irresponsible teenager and the other as a responsible family man.  As a teenager Dhanush loved Hema(Amy Jackson) ,an Anglo Indian. As the typical love story between a beautiful looking girl and an average looking guy progresses, their love story too progressed.  However, this love story didn't flourish for long and Dhanush is married to Yamuna(Samantha) and he turns out to be a responsible family man. Things take a turn when Tamizh's father commits suicide one morning and no one knows why . How Tamizh unravels the reason is the story of Thanga Magan. 
The interval block ends on a high note. The later half is not as packed as the first. The first half was filled with timed comedy sequences,few one-liners and good elements of romance and in the later half the film shifts into a less pacy action mode. The problems which this middle class family encounters and how they overcome it forms the rest of  the plot.
A breezy,simple and light-hearted entertainer with an interesting first half and an average second half.  The romance between Dhanush and Amy was good to watch and the underlying humor was well timed and well executed.


Performance

Dhanush did exceptionally well as Tamizh both as a teenager and as a family man. Amy Jackson too did well. Samantha was good in her cute looks and mature performance.  Dhanush -Amy Chemistry worked out well.  Satish was good in his role. KS Ravikumar proved himself to be a good actor too playing Tamizh's father. Radhika Sarathkumar was equally good as Tamizh's mother. Other cast did justice to their roles.

Music


Songs by Anirudh was good. They sounded intense and mature.  The BGM was an average one. 

Screenplay and Direction

The writer is successful in creating a crisp entertainer of 2 hrs duration. The direction was also good. Director Velraj could create another entertainer after VIP. 

Verdict:- Thanga Magan would be a decent watch for the Family Audience. A Watchable Entertainer to be enjoyed with less expectations.. 

Rating: 3/5

Happy Journey - A Passable Feel Good One ....

Director:-Boban Samuel

Screenplay:-Arunlal

Music:-Gopi Sundar

Cinematography:- Mahesh Raj

Editing:-Lijo Paul

Our Rating:-3/5 

Verdict:- Average Passable One...



Happy Journey is an average feel good movie which certainly entertains but at time bore you. Boban's Samuel's 3rd film after Romans & Janapriyan is watchable but it could have been much better if it was handled with care.

The story of the film revolves around the life of Aaron (Jayasurya) a blind man who loves cricket. He had passion towards cricket from his childhood on wards & also his mother Alice(Lena)gave him enough support of develop the same passion by taking him to a cricket coach John (Sunil Sukhada). Aaron gets selection in the under 15 cricket tournament but he loses his eyesight in a road accident. Aaron & Alice tried to get selection in the Blind Cricket team & when he was all set to join the All India Blind Cricket team , his mother passes away & desperately Aaron gives up his passion. The plot of the film deals with Aaron's Journey of life. Aaron says all these to Siya Sidharth(Aparna Gopinath) whom he meets on his way to Chennai. He gets a hotel helper's job in a hotel run by Easop(Idavela Babu).  His cousin Fredy (Balu Vargheese) renders him enough support. Aaron is again inspired to join in the All India Blind Cricket Team by his earlier coach John.
He finally gets selection there & from there he meets his new coach Gopikrishnan(Lal). The rest of the plot deals with how Aaron , Gopikrishnan & other members of the team struggle to fulfill their dreams.

The First half of the film is very much interesting & entertaining while the second half bores the audience a bit. Some portions of the films do gather our attention. It is a passable fare if you go with less expectations...

Performances

Jayasurya gave a brilliant performance as Aaron in his dialogue delivery, expressions & innocence. He is the one who makes us watch the film. Lal was good as Gopikrishnan. Aparna Gopinath doesn't have anything much to do. Balu Vargheese was also impressive. Rest of the cast have done their roles in a good manner.

Music

Gopi Sundar's music is good  & the songs are well placed. The background score suits the mood of the film & it gives the overall feeling of the movie.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was good though not excellent. Mahesh Raj tried to capture all the good visuals.

Direction & Screenplay

Arunlal's script is not up to the mark. Even though the first half is very interesting & thrills the audience, the second half bores them a bit.  The plot , if it was treated in a bit more good way , the film would've been mind blowing. The direction by Boban Samuel was good in the first half. In the second half he tries to get control but he loses it.

Verdict:_ Average Fare...Watch it With less expectations for some good performances & an interesting first half...

Rating:- 3/5
