Un Samayal Araiyil Movie Preview



Cast:    Prakash Raj, Sneha, Urvashi
Direction:    Prakash Raj
Production:    Prakash Raj
Music:    Ilaiyaraaja

Ask most of the directors around, they would definitely agree that a bilingual is simply harder than you think, but when it comes to Prakash Raj, it’s just another day in the field for this actor bound by creativity and so he takes up the extra step to come up with a trilingual in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada.

The movie is the remake of Mollywood blockbuster “Salt n Pepper”which had Lal, Shweta Menon, Mythili and Asif in the lead cast. Considering this to be a multi starrer, the Tamil version will have Prakash Raj, Sneha, Urvashi, and new comers Tejus and Samyuktha in the trilingual.

The original movie had Aashiq directing with a whole lot of technical amigos in the crew, and now with Prakash Raj taking up the direction and the lead, will there be quite a few alterations from the original? Well, we sure need to wait and watch out.

As we hear, this movie is a simple romance that pops out of two like-minded people and the entire unveiling is taken up in a comical way to entertain the audiences as well. So yes, it’s not the usual run of the mill kind for sure, for the entire romcom has food as a major player through the script, and it’s not just induced purposefully, but as a part of the storyline.

Food has always been cinema’s conjunctive friend from the days of “KalyanaSamyalSatham” days and this movie is yet another tribute with the name being taken up from the popular track in Vikram’s “Dhill” movie.

Prakash Raj’s acting skills have no barriers, for he has starred as a villain, father, brother and so many character roles that we have no space to fill in. Here he is paired up with the gifted Mrs.Sneha and this should really be one spicy journey indeed. Both the actors have acted together quite a number of times in the past and with Urvashi’s inclusion the maturity level of the actor skills have just gone up. There are also a fair number of new comers in this movie, will have to wait and watch their acting prowess.

Another big asset of this movie is the music, and who better than the maestro himself, could give a fitting composition. Ilayaraja has racked up a few numbers which makes you enter the kitchen with the mp3 players hooked. So there is something to relish upon indeed.

A lot to expect from this movie indeed and it’s not far away as we hear!

Un Samayal Araiyil Music Review



Cast:  Prakash Raj, Sneha, Urvashi, Poorna, Thambi Ramaiya
Director: Prakash Raj
Production: Prakash Raj
Music Director: Ilaiyaraja
Lyricis: Pazhani Bharathi

The remake of the Malayalam blockbuster “Salt and pepper” has Prakash raj and Sneha in the lead roles with a couple of other new comers I the cast as well. The maestro is back for scoring a memorable composition, with Prakash raj helming the directors hat along with his acting skills as well.

InthaPorapudhan:

Singer – KailashKher, Lyrics – PalaniBarathi

As you might have guessed, the movie trots around food and the song captures the essence of it quite naturally. Kailash has crooned a rather tasty song with his neat vocals, as it traverses between Hindustani loose ghazal and the western juicy tunes. Palani’s lyrics are neat with delivering the intention of food’s importance and the tastes that it can make you forget everything else.

EeramaiEeram:

Singers – Ranjith, Vibhavari, Lyrics – PalaniBarathi

A slow and enjoyable tune in place, the Eeram song is the melody you are looking for through this album. Ilayaraja’s trademark signature is all over the number with Ranjith’s vocals just creating magical rhythms of its own. There is no much hustle on this song for it just breezes through the orchestration with its wetness.

Therinthatho :

Singers – Karthik, Ramya NSK, Lyrics – PalaniBarathi

This marks the highlight of the whole album, for its maestro at his best. The level of difference that he delivers from his eighties to now is remarkable. With quite a lot of impressive guitar section and occasional inclusion of bass, the track runs through the interludes with a lot of startling flutes, guitars and varied instrumentation. Karthik and Ramya NSK look to run amok with their rattling performances and the electronic gist in the aromatic theme sets pace for auplifting melody.

KaatruVeyil:

Singer – Ilayaraja, Lyrics – PalaniBarathi

The slow emotional track of the album is here, and who better than the great musician of Tamil Cinema could have crooned it better! Ilayaraja strike a master piece with this track that dwells heavily on sorrow and call it loss or coincidence the song has it all. After all these years, the maestro’s vocals are still enjoyable to hear and no wonder does it make him the king of the melody genre.

Un Samayal Araiyil Movie Review



Cast:    Prakash Raj, Sneha, Urvashi
Direction:    Prakash Raj
Production:    Prakash Raj
Music:    Ilaiyaraaja

If it is hard to define love, it is harder to when and how one may find true love. And what if two dejected and under-confident souls find the perfect match in each other over food? Inspired from the film industry of God’s own country, brought home by the ace multilingual, multifaceted artiste Prakash Raj, ‘Un Samayal Araiyil’ is a new recipe to Kollywood for everyone to relish.

Kalidasan (Prakash Raj) is happy single man, wedded only to his profession – archaeology. At 45, he has no intentions of leaving behind his independent life and getting married, though he is constantly persuaded by Elango who had raised Kali after the latter’s parents’ demise. Kali’s first and only undying love interest is food. No matter which place he visits when, irrespective of the situation, food forms his prime interest. Despite being a gregarious person, he denies himself the pleasure of a cell phone until his nephew Naveen (Tejus) gifts a handset to him for New Year. Gowri (Sneha), on the other hand, is a dubbing artiste, staying along with Urvasi, sharing her room with Meghna (Samyuktha). Gowri is spinster, owing to faulty horoscope in her younger days and has no close relatives. Though happy and carefree usually, it lurks in a corner in her heart that she is helplessly single and too old for a new beginning. As a new year springs with new hope, Gowri dials a number in frustration, orders for Dosa and hangs up without even stopping to verify if it were a restaurant. As it turns out, the wrongly dialled number reaches Kali, and the two get to a war of words. In an effort to soothe things out, Naveen, who is flirtatious by nature, sends an apology text message to Gowri. Meghna, from Gowri’s end, dials Kali in return, and Kali and Gowri start conversing, discussing their food interests, and bond on these lines. After a few weeks of conversation, they decide to meet. But to the two, who had not as of then divulged their age, it suddenly comes tumbling down that the other may hold him/her low. Out of this under confidence, Kali and Gowri decide to send Naveen and Meghna respectively. Now there are two men and two women, with completely misconceived opinions of identity. What this confusion eventually leads to, is all that ‘Un Samayal Araiyil’ is about.

Prakash Raj is renowned for his versatility in every role that he plays. Be it the tough archaeologist, the gentleman or the soft and innocent food freak, he fits every role he plays as Kali. After her wedding, Sneha is coming back to the silver screen with this film, and her beauty is unfazed, and so is her talent as an actress. She portrays the confusion of choosing between being single and married. Though Tejus and Samyuktha predominantly play supportive roles, their characters are vital in the film. Thambi Ramaiah as the cook, Aishwarya as Asha, Kali’s colleague and Elango play entertaining supportive roles.

Known for his signature style and touch, Prakash Raj adds his subtle touches to this recipe, in his direction. Though all scenes have been captured colourfully and in all beauty of screenplay, the story is fairly predictable after certain progress in the film. One of the biggest attractions of this film is the innovative music. Isaignani’s composition this time has his trademark touch but with mixing and appeal to the latest of latest tastes. And there’s lots of food! What does put off a bit is the unexplained small portions. But the entire movie flows in an entertaining and smooth pace, and makes for a healthy entertainer for all ages.
