Red chillies :

Here Mohanlal is the all knowing intelligent underworld phenomenon, who kills cold bloodedly, but has a good soul (as usual). The movie features a gang of deranged girls (the red chillies), running an all girls FM radio (sponsored by hero) and there is this song “mala peyyanu” sung by them in a pub which fused my cranium… now whenever I see that song in TV, it goes mute. Thanks to the director – no romance for Mohan lal this time – what if he danced again? Anyways the movie was mysterious and the mystery still continues – why did they make such a movie? Why did we watch it?

Ayan :

Here our hero Surya is the pet of his mom as well as the street he lives (as usual) – an educated young man who don’t want to pursue a normal government job, but does international smuggling for the kicks – he does impress us by the tricks deployed to smuggle stuff through the air port screening. Naturally parents might be tempted to ask whether smuggling is a good message for the younger audience – all the philistines please understand that our hero smuggles only harmless stuff like pirated movie CDs, diamonds etc... and whenever he gets free time, he helps customs/narcotic guys to bust illegal drug trafficking. Now the movie has some good action sequences, gory drug trafficking methods, and of course love at first sight – One interesting change we noted is that now-a –days the romance song locales have shifted to Africa. The movie has some really really funny scenes, provided you know Tamil :( - When we asked Rajumon why he was laughing uncontrollably, he could not provide a convincing answer most of the time – sadly none of us are proficient in Tamil. Hero kills villain in the final scenes and gets a government job in narcotics department on special recommendation for his genuine skills and lives happily ever after with our heroine Tamanna – may be its okay to kill bad guys.

And finally the best of three : Sagar Alias Jacky

Only similarity we noted with Ayan is that our “Reloaded” hero Mohan lal also does not support smuggling of drugs or arms, only diamonds please!!! The plot was already familiar to all of us due to a funny email which was circulating among us friends in the past weeks – We knew it was a killer movie and watched only because Amal was paying for the tickets. The email had warned us that the whole movie is about Mohanlal walking from his car…then shooting…again walking from plane….stabbing…again walking…hitting goons...Jyothirmayi dancing…again walking…it rains….Lal continues walking under umbrella…. Bhavana and Lal performs a love duet (Thanks again - no dance)…walking…shooting…walking…slitting villains neck…walking….blast another villains boat (in between one can listen to upbeat techno background music and get to see all the latest luxury cars and four wheel drives). While leaving the theatre Cijo was laughing hard (infact the rest of us were crying hard) when he overheard the comment of a fellow victim, that the reason why Mohanlal is smiling at us smugly in the final stills (when the credits were scrolling) was because we had paid to watch this movie. sigh...
