Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

jaisimhakb I am a fan of "Ram" and his creations and had loved Katradhu Tamizh despite it's disturbing content. But I rate "Taramani" the best that he has created by far. Would have loved it if he had kept off the voice overs. Showcased the performer in Andrea Jeremiah. And as usual Azhagan perumal shines in his role. Kudos to Vasanth Ravi; for a debut he has shouldered a very challenging role and has done quiet well, but has a long way to burnish the actor in him.Very moved by how well the movie touched upon a wide array of social & environmental issues.Looking forward to Ram's next gift..

Arun George Ram's "Taramani" doesn't exactly have a new story to tell: in fact, it's the most told tale in the history of cinema..the depth of relationships between the male and the female gender. "Taramani" feels more like a series of incidents than a narrative with proper beginning and closure..but this is definitely in a good sense.Andrea plays an Anglo-Indian single mom who works as an HR manager in an I.T conglomerate while Vasanth Ravi (in his debut) plays a frustrated call-center employee with a rural background. Both performances are in good hands but Andrea has done a sensational job in portraying her character Althea in a highly-convincing manner. She is bold as hell, responds slyly to remarks made on her body, smokes, goes out partying, wears short skirts and does pretty much everything a typical Indian woman is not "expected" to do. Ravi's Prabhunath is a woman-hater primarily because he was dumped earlier (by Sowmya, played by Anjali in a guest appearance) by someone he put complete faith in. When these two contrasting personalities collide, the results are mighty exciting. Prabhunath's relationship with Althea's son Adrian is what initially binds them together but things soon get out-of- hand. Prabhu's misogynist side takes over and he starts to get overly suspicious of Althea's relationships with other men and questions her on several occasions, much to her dismay. These portions are written and acted well; the dialogues are especially good - a clear indication on how good an observer writer/director Ram is. Although the practicality of the proceedings remain dubious (such as Althea letting someone move in with her so quick, Adrian's grandmom telling him that his mother is a b*tch and so on), director Ram tries to enliven such bits with his own voice-overs which carry the harmless yet relatable vibe of a radio-jockey (he refers to those as his timely 'status updates'). Yet, with everything that you see unfold on screen, even with the backing of an above-par Yuvan score, something does feel amiss. Certain segments are just too random to be treated seriously. Like Althea's composed reaction when she gets to know of her husband's sexual orientation, or her decision to spend a night at a train station instead of a hotel, or Prabhu's rather hasty decision to seduce/blackmail married women and such and such. If there's one thing that you gotta love about "Taramani", it's the way in which Ram has woven a stretch of incidents almost completely revolving around the two leads and yet manages to retain viewer attention throughout. Sreekar Prasad's uncluttered editing makes sure there are a bunch of stand-out portions. Director Ram is a sure-shot advocate for the "live and let live" motto but seems to relish addressing issues from the female standpoint, a bit more. Both Althea and Sowmya tell Prabhunath (on different occasions) that they loved him because he was the only genuinely kind-hearted member of the male gender they'd known. Whatever happened to all the 'good men' in movies that love propagating equal honor for genders. The quintessential happy-ending seems forced, but as Ram narrates in his voice-over "Not every WHY needs to be answered" I suppose. The randomness of it all is actually why I enjoyed watching "Taramani".Verdict: Worth seeing for Andrea's strong depiction of the urban Tamil female!

hetlar-87434 One of the worst movies in Tamil industry. Sorry correction.The only worst movie. A crap movie with a pointless story line. so many clichés. if I had a chance to meet the director I would have personally told him about how disappointed I was. seriously disappointed after watching this movie. Andrea could have picked a better movie than this. I personally think that the movie could end within half an hour rather than stretching it to 2 and half hours.I think the actor is a new face in Tamil industry.I feel pity for his first movie. It ruined my sleep!

Muthuvel Sivakumar I watched Taramani on independence day. I went to the movie thinking about the director Ram only. But the movie was excellent. Every actor deserves credit. The background score, songs are really good.Even though it is an adults only film, I think u can watch with your family. It moves u very much.
