Ayogya (2019)
A Decent second half and an emotional climax makes with worth the watch!!
As it was already declared that Ayogya is an official remake of Jr NTRs Temper (also remade as Simba by Rohit shetty with Ranveer singh), one can know what to expect from this offering.
Somehow I didn't get a chance to watch both the previous versions and hence thought of catching up this one. After having already known about the story line, there is nothing new that is being offered in the first half. Almost the entire first half is spent in establishing the character of Lead actor Vishal (who has executed a neat performance as Police officer Karnan). The romantic sequences were potrayed in a silly manner and doesn't fit in at all. As expected it is towards the interval the movie seem to pick up slight momentum.
Once the core plot is revealed through Pooja devaraya in the second half, the pace gets set in. The movie keeps moving at a gripping pace until the climax - thanks to the emotional and action sequences which makes the right impact with audience.
Rashi Kanna is Cute; Ks Ravikumar scores big as a honest cop. Parthiban as Kalirajan keeps reminding us of his performance from Naanum rowdy thaan - May be due to a similar role, but does well here too.
Climax deserves a special mention as it is well thought of and fits in nicely to give an emotional end to the movie. Given the social message this movie tries to convey, the twist executed by the protagonist seems to be the apt way to establish the seriousness and need for a strong punishment for such offences.
If you haven't watched the original versions like me, then this would definitely be worth the watch - atleast for the first time.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)
Surely entertaining but not so great!!
The movie has some splendid visuals(Visuals of the hidden world deserves special mention) and the animation is top notch, as usual. It starts with a bang but the pace becomes slower towards the middle (kids and all may get restless), and then picks up pace again towards the last 45 mins. The ending is slightly emotional. Went with huge expectations after reading many super positive reviews from imdb. That's why I may have felt it as not so great. Nevertheless, the movie is entertaining for sure!!
