Thimiru - YSR

[MrJudge]

Yes, Vasanth. thithikkira vayasu is too good and that is my pick also. All YSR-type songs are good. The Shankar mahadevan number is the only one below average stuff.

[vasanth2006]

Thimiru is going to release on coming Friday (August 4).

Yuvan will rock in the BGM as usual. I am eagerly looking for the BGM of the movie.
(may be tiny songs will be there.)

Another important thing about movie is that Priyan’s camera is simply awesome in the trailor bit. hats-off to priyan.

Music Review
Thimiru - One for the masses
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, August 02, 2006]

He is the latest sensation in Kollywood. With his tunes topping all charts and his movies making it big.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has already proved his mettle. Adding one more to his latest hits is Thimiru. It has a mix of racy, soft and peppy tunes. The highlight being a song sung by Gangai Amaran.

Thimiru starring Vishal, Reema Sen and Shriya Reddy is directed by debutant Tharun Gopi.

The other talking point of the album is that Yuvan recorded the songs in a studio in Bangkok.

Hitherto Yuvan was seen as a music-composer who can come up with classy stuff. In Thimiru, he has gone ahead to prove that he can also score music for the front-benchers.

Kattiko Rappa (Kunal Shreya Ghoshal)

A foot-tapping number. With brisk music and a peppy chorus accompanying, the song is sure to make it big. Shreya Ghosal with her brisk voice injects life into the song. Yuvan has used additional percussions well.

Thithikura Vayasu (Anupama)

A melody inspired accompanied by western music. Anupama, known for such songs, has done her best here too. Soft beats accompanying the lyric gives the song the right lift. The catchy English lyrics used in between as chorus in the song is another highlight.

Mana Madurai (Shankar Mahadevan)

Yuvan Shankar has given an earthy and a peppy tune inspired by folksy tradition. A perfect mass song with brisk music sure to make it to the top of the audiocharts. Who else but Shankar Mahadevan can render such high voltage song. Yuvan has made the right choice.

Money Money (Anuska)

A hip-hop kind of number. Singing in an Anglican slang is Anuska for the number. However the song reminds one of Yuvan's earlier tunes. The trumpets and the drums are used to the maximum. A rap in between is also catchy.

Opuranae (Gangai Amaran)

The pick of the album. A musician and singer himself Gangai Amaran has sung the song which sticks to our lips instantly. A typical 'dappanguthu' number, Yuvan has again proved his mettle in coming up with a tune that front-benchers would love. Shades of his father Illayaraja's works in early 80's could be seen. Yet, the rocking song of the album.

Movie Review
Thimiru - Fighting fit
IndiaGlitz [Friday, August 04, 2006]

Post Sandai Kozhi Vishal has managed to establish himself as an action-hero. Now Thimiru is a step towards confirming it. An action-packed entertainer with the right mix of commercial ingredients, Thimiru is one for the frontbenchers (and the box office).

Debutant director Tharun Gopi has taken a wafer thin storyline, but with a pulsating sequence of events, succeeds in sustaining the interest of the audience.

In a nutshell, the movie is about a group of baddies on Vishal's trail for no fault of his. How he manages to overcome them forms the crux.

The movie is about Ganesh (Vishal), who comes from Madurai to continue his medical course in Chennai. A group of baddies is on his pursuit. Meanwhile Srimathy (Reema Sen), daughter of Ganesh's professor, wants to meet him and thank him for helping her escape from the clutches of some vile elements.

When Ganesh and Srimathy meet they are surprised, for they know each other. Meanwhile, the gangsters on spotting both vow to kill them. Why? Well, it is flashback time.

Eswari (Shreya Reddy) is a shrewish, arrogant 'kattapanchayat' woman. She lends money at usurious rates and then goes after those families that fail to repay. Srimathy’s family falls foul of Eswari. It is Ganesh who helps Srimathy’s folks. Eswari, however, falls for Ganesh’s bravery and boldness. So she wants him to marry her. But the hero doesn’t.

She ends up kidnapping Ganesh's parents and threatens Ganesh to come to them and marry her. However Ganesh thwarts all her plans. Eventually in a freak mishap, Eswari meets her fate. Mistaking Ganesh to be the reason for their sister's death, Eswari's brothers Periya Karuppu (Manoj K Jayan) and Veerasamy (Vijayan) resolve to kill him.

Ganesh, who reaches Chennai for safety, is eventually forced to go back to his old ways to fight the baddies and restore order.

Vishal, who is just two films-old, has given a good performance. His tall physique comes handy in stunt scenes. In the company of Reema Sen, he is on the button, with his brisk stunt sequences. Reema Sen has got a limited footage, but has utilized it well. Vadivelu has a meaty role to play and has the audience in splits.

However the surprise element in the movie is Shreya Reddy. This VJ-turned-actress has played a girl with chutzpah and a raw attitude to life, who threatens Vishal to marry her.

It is heartening to see an actress who has the will (and talent) to attempt such a different role. Vadivelu as the college warden not just occupies a major screen space but delivers the goods as well. Also in the cast are Manoj K Jayan, former football player I M Vijayan, Manickam Vinayakam and Banuchander.

Though an often-seen theme, Tharun Gopi’s shrewd characterization and swift screenplay makes the movie engrossing. Yuvan Shankar Raja has come up with some peppy numbers, while Kanal Kannan's stunts are a major highlight.

However on the flip side, the second half is lengthy and packed with needless stunt sequences.

After Chellamae and Sandai Kozhi, no doubt Thimiru will help Vishal score a hat-trick.

Tamil Movie Review : Timiru
Timiru – Just a commercial potboiler!!
Thimiru

Cast: Vishal, Reema Sen, Shriya Reddy.

Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja

Director: Tharun Gopi

Production: GK Films Corporation
If you are looking for the ‘Sandakozhi’ effect again with Vishal, do not miss Timiru. Vishal probably feels he fits the bill of the ‘angry young man’ perfectly. He does it again in ‘Timiru’. But what we are left with is a headache and a hangover, moments to yawn, and—yes--lot of skin on display. As we all know, Reema Sen, Kiran and Shreya Reddy can do no wrong when it comes to showing a little skin.

The director must have had a collection of all the violent movies on his shelf, along with the latest Vishal (‘Sandakozhi’), and you can swear that he has watched it several times, probably to maintain Vishal’s image or to follow the current sensation.
Tell tale

JThe story can be written on the back of a bus ticket. Shreya Reddy is the darling sister (not the “Chinnathambi” ‘Kushboo’ type) of two loan sharks in Madurai. She dares every one and performs her ‘dadagiri’ with no one to question. Ravishing Reema happens to cross roads with her and trouble starts. When Reema is disrobed by Shreya in the road, Vishal the hero comes to the rescue, and he in turn disrobes Shreya to get even. A shocked Shreya swears that she will marry Vishal for his insulting act.

Thimiru
Trouble brews and in the ensuing drama, Shreya sacrifices her life (!!) and asks her brothers to keep an eye on Vishal to prevent him from getting married to any other girl. Strange--yeah we thought so too. So that is Timiru’s storyline, and if you are worried about a glut of action flicks in the market, you may prefer to stay home.
Thimiru

Star cast

Vishal wears the shoes of the angry young man well, but we still think he was better in ‘Chellamae’? Vishal plays a quiet young medical student who minds his business in the first half. In the latter, he picks up the sword to fight against the evil loan sharks played by Manoj K Jayan and I.M Vijayan. Vishal’s menacing darkness contributes to the character. It is Shreya who steals the show with her immense presence in dialogue delivery and, obviously, by shaking her booty. The dialogues are too racy and Shreya’s overburdened delivery seems pretty obvious. We wished she downplayed a little bit. Is that too much to ask?

Thimiru
Reema limits herself to a couple of duets and some fairly decent acting, yes folks, you do get to see a lot of Reema in those songs. If she is not enough, we have Kiran onboard too. Her voluptuous looks and slinky moves definitely keep our folks from getting a puff during the song sequence.
Thimiru

The other folks like Manoj K Jayan, I.M Vijayan and Vadivelu play their part to near perfection. Vadivelu comes across as refreshment at times with his presence in the otherwise serious screenplay.

We wished the director would have left the Madurai slang alone, rather than experimenting with it—and none too skillfully. The screenplay does, however, move quickly and if you like the stuff, will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Final word

Vishal has delivered another commercial potboiler to his credit and his fans are going to eat it up. With glamour quotients like Reema, Shreya and Kiran (though Kiran appears for a mere flicker), the movie is the mix of melodrama and street violence that commercial cinema requires. Yuvan’s music and Priyan’s camerawork add to the attraction, and ‘Timiru’ is definitely worth a watch if you want to kill some time.
