Tamil Movie Reviews & Discussions

Well, i finally watch Saroja. Interesting and i completely enjoyed it. Songs was kinda of okay, i did not really enjoy the songs, but okay for listening ........... If ur bored at home and nothing to watch, then go for Saroja

i agree with neths..................its okay 2 watch.but jayaram's role was repititive in Dhaam Dhoom & Saroja.........thats sick.

I was in a mood to watch a good movie over the weekend, and could not find one like Saroja or Dhaam dhoom as the CDs are not released yet. Under strong recommendation of the sales girl, (we had an agreement, if I don't like this movie, I will return the CD and exchange for a new one😉) and, with 50-50 doubts, I bought DVD and the movie is called "Ali Baba". 😃

The only cast I know is Prakashraj Radharavi, two actors from Malayalam movies, Inspector Poobalan from serial, and Kausalya's younger sister from Alapaiyuthey. Krishna and Janani are part of the cast. I never seen Krishna before although Janani looks familiar. Most probably she is the same actress who acted with Madhavan in a movie. (This is one where she writes her address on a note and he looses it and they out looking for each other). Anyway, the Director is Selan and Music by Vidayasagar.

I won't summarise the movie coz if I do, then the essence of this movie is gone. This movie is a thriller so it is better to watch than to read. Good effort by the Director and you would never guess the ending. (well I did not anyway). So if I tell the story, the suspense is gone. 😃

What I liked about this movie - good acting even for new comers (and proof that you don't have to be Ajith/Vijay to give a good movie), even the actress was given a role to do instead of coming as a bimbo and dance around the park and look good in sexy clothes, good story line, flashbacks and links were shown 'back-to-back' instead of spending half of the movie with flashbacks, Was realistic in many ways. The 'seasoned" actors/actresses were good, nothing to complain about.

Now what I did not like - unkept beard/moustache of the hero (although I understand why he was potrayed that way coz he comes from slums), but he is wearing stylish clothes, so great attention should be given to his facial hair. The lighting was not good in some places. What is a hero without fights, some fights were really over the top.😡 But luckily, we did not have to endure the fights in the whole movie. It was only a couple of them with ending scene a bit more.

Music was so and so, so I did not have the patience to listen to it fully. I forwarded the songs. But if given a chance you could get used it.

Over all I can give this movie - 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 3.5 thumbs up. Rest assured I won't be asking for a refund😳

oh thanx caryn for a detailed review of alibaba.............infact i skipped it seeing new faces but my husby said the same dat u've mentioned abt the movie.............now im planning 2 watch it.

LOL!!! 😆 Both of you bought the CDs and then was reluctant to see it because of new faces. I was in the same boat too. It is a risk I took, because of so bored.
