 Thalainagaram 2 is directed by VZ Durai and stars Sundar C, Thambi Ramaiah, Pallak Lalwani and others.  The story centres around Right ( Sundar C) who gets, back into fighting evil doers, when he encounters Sitara ( Pallak Lalwani) a heroine who seeks revenge for a crime against her.  Moved by her plight,  Right agrees to find the wrongdoers, and thereby sets of a chain reaction of several villains who now want to see him dead.  Does Right find justice for the girl? At what cost ?  The film is a crime story so action scenes are aplenty from the word go. A delight for action lovers,  Sundar C and the bunch of baddies are in top form.

 Azhagiya Kanne stars Sanchita Shetty and debutant Leo Sivakumar and hits theatres on June 23rd. Inba ( Leo Sivakumar) and ( Sanchita Shetty ) are neighbours in a village, living opposite each other. The duo soon fall in love. Inba is an aspiring director and finds a job as Prabhu Solomon's assistant. Sanchita gets a job in the IT sector. The duo soon become parents and Inba gets to sign up his first movie, with Vijay Sethupathi. But people from the village, who are opposed to their wedding,  decide to wreak havoc in their lives.  What happens next? The film is visually pleasant with the camera of A R Ashok Kumar capturing scenic village locales then moving to city life. The songs are well shot as well. The actors have all done justice to their rules.  Debutant Leo Sivakumar delivers a neat performance, with good dialogue delivery, dance moves and screen presence. A bit of more work in emotional scenes would have added to the performance. He is good in the action scenes, making the
